Seems to me a good solution is get a good pair of headphones. IMO, that will give you a better idea of what's going on in the mix, rather than try to deal with an acoustic mess of a room.

I'm kinda going nuts. For years, my studio was in a downstairs home office, while I worked on getting my real studio space (a renovated upstairs spare bedroom) outfitted. Now I've moved my stuff in and the space sounds great, but ... *everything* with a wire has become an antenna. It's insane. My f...

Same here. I sent a couple of emails, got no reply. Phone him and no problem - nice guy to talk to. Last year his website was down for quite a while and I don't know if he was even bothered by it.

Thanks Kevin. Well, I was hoping there was an alternative to the $25 ones, but so far nobody's said anything to the contrary. Sigh.... Would you be interested in a couple if I can get them? What do you think would be the most you'd pay for one? The greater quantity I can have them make, the cheaper...

Just scored a sweet old RCA 74B ribbon mic like this one. AEA has the 5/8?-27F to 1/2?M Pipe Thread Adapter (RCA Style) for $24.00. Anyone know where I can get one for a reasonable price or if anyone else carries them? What have others done to obtain them? Hi. I have a few old mics that require the...

Hi Folks, So I'm purchasing some Pelican cases for three old condenser mics, all with pwr supplys and I'm looking for some feedback. Firstly, I'm pretty convinced the Pelican cases are the way to go. I picked up one and gotta say, its pretty invincible. I got it with the "plick n' pluck" foam which...

Balanced cables get most of their ability to reject noise from being balanced. The two conductors in each pair have to be very close in impedance in order to do a good job of rejecting noise. The pairs have to be carefully twisted during manufacture. It's pretty likely that cheap cable is not as wel...

My interface does have a few line ins, but the 8 XLR ins are mic only. My real goal is to adapt some way from line level to the XLR mic input. I want to be able to transfer some of my analog 8track and 16 track stuff. A side benefit would be that I could run stuff live through my outboard gear and ...

I had a quick look at the technical doc on that unit. It looks like the 8 XLRs on the front are mic inputs only. There are two 1/4" balanced line inputs on the front and 4 on the back. It's best to use those inputs.

ok. cool. so this is a line level signal post preamp, pre power amp, right? Is this a compromise or is this standard practice? That's usually the case. Sometimes they take the line out before the tone controls and sometimes after. Some amps allow you to select. I have the schematic for the B115 and...

I have a 1974 Ampeg B115. Great sounding amp btw.
I currently am using an art passive di box as a aplit for the DI.
Can I use the line out as a DI on this or other bass amps as the DI?
Thanks
Rand

Yes.

I'm looking to get a new usb hard drive so that I can easily transfer stuff between my Mac and my buddies PC. Any suggestions on quality brands that you haven't had problems going between platforms with? I've used several different brands: Seagate, Western Digital, Fujitsu, etc. and they've all wor...

I suppose you're right. OK, all I need to get now is a thumbscrew for the mount.. anyone have one to spare? I see that these thumbscrews tend to only be sold as pairs for $110.. that is crazy! I only need a thumbscrew/washer/collar for one side. Anyone have to buy a set but only use one side?? Or k...

Man, just send it to Clarence Kane at ENAK and get it restored. He'll knock it out of the park and you'll have a completely and totally awesome microphone. That thing looks great. I'm totally jealous of you! Chris Garges Charlotte, NC I sent an RCA BK-5A to Clarence for restoration and he was a goo...
