Mackie ONYX 1640 power supply
Thanks to some stubborn termites, we had to rip out the control room for our auditorium and rebuild it over the holidays. I pulled all of the equipment out and the maintenance guys did the room repairs. I started re-installing the equipment today and our Mackie ONYX 1640 mixer is no longer working. ...

No, because I don't like iTunes ripper, either. I do use LAME with Exact Audio Copy as a front-end. Totally smokes the iTunes encoder. At the "standard" preset setting I can almost not hear the weirdness in the cymbals on Ramones albums or in the audience on live recordings. The plus to using a fron...

I think they do a lot of business with "houses of worship" (as they refer to churches throughout their catalog) and college AV departments and other outfits that might be more amenable to developing "relationships" with "sales engineers". Maybe, dunno. That's my relationship with them (college AV d...

Buzzcocks "Singles Going Steady" I know, i know, it's a buch of singles but so what? It rocks! Absolutely! When I think of music that I first heard years and years ago that still means as much to me as the day I first heard it, that's still every bit as good as it was the first day I heard it, I al...

Yeah, I didn't hear the '97 version, but this one sounds totally great to me. I wish I had some vinyl to compare it to. Aside from the post-'83 stuff, this is the only Floyd album I don't have on vinyl. I can't tell you why. Lame, I know. Probably because it's expensive? I'm glad to hear this new d...

The guy a few pages back that said he buys only 'independent' reggae music or whatever fails to see he is still buying records that are distributed and are 'legitimate' releases as they are available at retail. He is not buying unmastered and burned CDs. No one is, but people are downloading that s...

The vast majority of that is used vinyl and new indie albums on CD. How many of those CDs were 'burned' without a barcode or professionally packaged? jeff, this may come as a huge news flash to you, but there are in fact LOTS of real, LEGITIMATE indie labels out there. many of them have long histor...

The vast majority of that is used vinyl and new indie albums on CD. How many of those CDs were 'burned' without a barcode or professionally packaged? IIRC, zero. I believe the last homemade CD I bought was in November 2006. It's got a spraypainted cover. Musically, it's very good. I like it a lot b...

Oh, and I forgot. You can insert it on a master fader and use it for balance/panning and decent metering as well. (You can't pan/balance a master fader channel with PT). That's usually what I use it for. The metering is better than my DAW. And better than ProTools as well, unless it's improved a lo...

If you can run a DAW, you can run video editing software. What's more important is that you have editing skills. If you had the skills on the older equipment, you can transfer them to the new way of doing things. Since you have experience video editing already and in using DAW software, you should u...

Interesting, all of this. Well, most of it, anyway. I look at it this way: According to my records, I spent around $2000 last year buying music. The vast majority of that is used vinyl and new indie albums on CD. Almost none of it is new major label product. I bought more new CDs on independent regg...

This whole thing is fantastic. I've listened to it several times now. I'm loading it on the ipod right now... To continue the process thread, Pet Sounds was mostly recorded in my (former) band's practice space, except the bass and one or two of the guitars, which were recorded in my (old) apartment....

Just about everything I thought of when I saw the first post has been mentioned, except White Light/White Heat , Loaded , and the first couple Funkadelic albums. The SST stuff mentioned came to mind first, of course. Just about everything I've ever heard that Spot produced sounds like crap. The only...
