so i was just thinking, maybe im a complete dumbass for thinking but here i go: would it work if i just went through a di box? would that change the signal to the correct impedance/volume/whatever it needs to be?

these vic firths work well for drummers and other players, for your monitoring they are not so good. but for the people playing they isolate well and they are inexpensive.

sorry let me clarify its just the woofer, not the entire monitor. also let me correct myself: it is distortion in my mic pre, i just spoke into the speaker and it sounded fine. im pretty new to the wiring up my own stuff so i have no idea what to do to fix this. what do i need to get/do to make this...

im sure its not the pre amp it was set really low and even if i ran my finger across the cone lightly it was making those noises. i did notice when i was moving the stand it was on around the "moving stand noises" were what i would get from a normal mic. im not sure if that even matters though. the ...

I'll jump on the tascam band wagon, i use the m-50, i like it. i use it with my tascam 8 track. pretty much everything dave already said about the m-30 except its 12 channels, 8 busses, sweepable highs, inserts on all channels. the VU meters are very flexible as well. you can patch something into th...

i just wired up a speaker to use as a mic but when the signal comes through it sounds like it went through some kind of synth. the signal isn't clipping it even sounds like this when touched lightly. i recorded a few seconds of me hitting the bass drum with the speaker in front of it so you can hear...

i use sonic foundry cd architect, its really easy to do that.

but im still no ass engineer. a turd in a box will suffice.

do you have any info on the proper distance from the back wall?

ive got a c1 and the 4050, and love them both. im assuming the c3 sounds some what similar to the c1. i actually use the two for drum over heads sometimes. the c1 is colored but its definitly not a bad coloration. I agree with what eeldip said. get whatever you can for a good price.

do i have to pick just one? i guess it would be compressing the shit out of drum tracks and mixing it with a dry track. im listening to some stuff i did that to and the drums sound huge. also the speaker as a mic is cool too. i actually got an ns10 speaker just for that because i didnt have any extr...

im in pretty much the same situation, i've got a good start on gear: 1/2" 8 track, 8 buss tascam board, pair of MK012's, A/T 4050, SP C1, ATM 25, and a couple other mics. i need to find some intrested bands. i put a classified ad in the local zine, emailed a couple bands too see if they were intrest...
