Looking at your mixer there are input gain knobs, do those only control mic gain, or are they active for the line inputs as well? If they are active on the line inputs, you can adjust them to control the INPUT level to the mixer, and use the fader as you output to the stereo bus. I would keep the fa...

Your wife sounds like a total badass

Agreed, she's a keeper.

I've always been conscious of what I do with my hands. It doesn't stop me from banging myself up in day to day life (knives, walls, cars all get me on occasion). I'm kinda klutsy. My problem is a ton of chronic pain in the rest of my body. I see the chiropractor every other week and that's just to k...

Nice job. That place is gonna be fun!

wasn't someone just joking about that snare buzz plug? yeah, I may hafta do that; my drummer is a minimalist, doesn't keep old stuff, unlike me whose house is, as my daughter says, "like living inna guitar store" It actually works. I've used it on a track where I didn't like what the mic I used und...

I ordered an Eastwood Classic 12 B-stock at 40% off. I've been lusting after one for a while. I wanted a different color, but $449 for a $749 guitar was too good of a deal to pass up. Do you play any other electric 12s? I got a Schecter Ultracure xii awhile back on a similar good deal, but not hist...

This is an interesting topic that I rarely think about... I guess mostly because I'm really a live sound mixer, which has different goals and needs sometimes. In particular I tend to think in terms of the arrangement - what needs to be heard? Obviously in a live show it's hard to leave out the stuf...

I always mic the bottom. If I get tracks from somebody with no mic on the bottom I re-amp the snare track with a snare drum sitting on top of a Fender Pro Jr and mic the snares there. I almost always have an 1176 plug on the bottom snare fast attack/slowest release. now I just needa snare ... :twis...

What is it you're doing with the pencil tool, and what's bothering you?

I went with Mike's suggestions. I'm itching to try the Altec clone, and I just like the idea of MorphVerb

Any Idea of how long the sale is going?

Next the Bison 5x14 mapel 10 lug that was a college graduation present from my folks. That was Number 1 for a lot of years I played blues and rock gigs all over with that one. It even went to CBGB with me in '95 I think. Been in the room with this one. I’m not a drummer and usually don’t know what ...

A couple tidbits from my time using molded earplugs: The fit is critical - if the molds aren't made right, they won't seal, and therefore don't work. For them to be useful, they have to go as deep as a foam earplug would. They have a limited lifespan - the material they're made of hardens as it age...

The Mapex stuff should not be slept on, it's affordable and really well made. The owner of the company seems to be a true drum geek. One of the videos where they compare a bunch of snares had the hammered 14x6.5 brass Mapex and it sounded phenomenal. I went back several times to that vid and others...
