There was a period of about eighteen months where you could download all these song stems that had leaked out of a studio somewhere. I pulled down Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me" just to see how much crud Butch Vig really did with the guitars. It was interesting; supposedly the guitars had been doubled like 100 times on that track but it turned out it was only a few.

Wish I could still get them. It was an interesting Pro tools experiment.

By the way, Butch Vig shares a birthday with your daughter. Was curious about others born today and was pleasantly surprised to see his name there. Again, cheers pal. Enjoy the process and have a fantastic Christmas together.

Butch Vig was Aug 2. My daughter shares a birthday with Sinead O'Connor, Jim Morrison and Ann Coulter. ;-)

Huh. According to this very reputable site Vig, along with Sinead, Jim and Ann was born on the 8th too. How did it go?

Cord wrapped around her neck twice, legit knot in the cord, and it still worked out okay.

I got no complaints.

Nice. It's quite the moment, isn't it. Dude, you're a dad.

A audio engineer friend of mine has several multi-tracks of some Michael Jackson, Queen, Stevie Wonder, etc.. I got chills just soloing out Freddie Mercury or MJ. Some serious raw talent there - no autotune required.

That sounds like a blast. I am sure I could waste a lot of time messing around with that. Did you just look around, or did you actually remix the song?

Messed around. It was the period where my gear was in Seattle and all I had in LA was a Macbook with an MBox Mini.

You can do a lot of damage with just an mbox and a MacBook. Def Leppard hysteria was one of the first albums I owned and it was the first arena concert that I ever saw

Not in Pro Tools LE 7 you can't.

What a piece of shit that was.
