Hey,
I didn't say I always succeeded (grin). I suspect that your search for the
50s sound is going to come down to amp and microphone choice more than
anything else and you can spend a fortune going down that particular road.
We have a shared experience in the lack of screaming fans, though. My wife
sometimes screams at me, though I'm not always certain that she's a fan...
Best wishes.

Wow Tim, I find it hard hearing and braking down the musical arrangements
I'd never be able to then recreate the production as well.
I know this because, I've been trying to create and 1950's feel on my
tribute tracks for over a year now.
I Never seem to get it right, My gig Saturday night had the bass guitar
sounding beautifully rich and warm, this would have been great if that
lovely sound hadn't then made my virtual 1950's Strat Guitar sound like
something from the local toy shop.
I was trying not to laugh every time a guitar solo kicked in or should I say
crept in like a mouse with stage fright.
This is a Rock 'N' Roll Show so the Solos are either me at the piano or the
mouse on the guitar.
Sunday morning, I toned the bass down, sent an example of the new mix to
Darren Hartland, his reply, "I think the only thing I'd say is that the bass
guitar doesn't seem to have a lot of presence.
Love the guitar programming, you got that spot on."
Buddy Holly may have not had the technology that we have but in some ways he
had it better.
The new instrument of the day was the Strat Guitar, just a few switches and
knobs to learn.
When he played live, it didn't matter if the bass guitar was too rich as the
amplifiers were so rubbish no one could hear it over the screaming fans
anyway.
Well, I have a powerful PA system and no screaming fans so, I guess I'm in
real trouble.
Has anyone ever lost their mind due to arranging and producing being so
awkward?
I maybe the first.
