I have a yamaha emx860st http://usa.yamaha.com/products/live_...st/?mode=model my plan is to get some really good powered speakers. Either the JBL PRX612M or QSC K12. I'm also planning on getting a passive mixer (probably soundcraft EFX 8). now then, at some point I'm going to want monitors and I ev...

Perfect working condition. It just has a couple scratches on the front panel from use. I've owned it for about 2 years give or take. Has the word clock I/O. I love it to pieces but I have a couple other good pres and I need to pay back a loan so I don't have to pay so much interest on it. asking $1,...

ohh thank you!
what do I clean it with? alcohol?

I have a tascam 22-4. It was working beautifully till a tape snapped during playback. It had already broke at one time and someone used some clear sticky tape to repair it, but the reel was so old the tape holding the tape together wasn't sticky anymore. anyway, now whenever I play a reel it starts ...

cool! I made one a while back too. here's how it turned out (with sound sample):

i got line outs galore.

do you have this link: http://www.rane.com/note110.html i think #'s 4, 6 or 17 is where you want to look for wiring depending on the pin out. I was lookin at that, but I've also heard that one might want a transformer somewhere in there like in the second diagram from the top on the rane page - ove...

do I need to know anything about going from RCA to TRS/XLR? any special things I should do besides just make 1 and 3 share the RCA sleeve?

i'm going to investigate more when I get home from work. it appears the first channel of the snake is bad. I'm not using 21-24 though so I could just remove the bad channel...

so I half normaled the first 10 channels. I not normaled the next 5 columns for patching in the drum snake when needed. when I break the half normal on channel 1 and feed it to drum snake 1 the cable tester returns this: http://gyazo.com/ae5f3cdd93f523e6801c2348441dc4db.png instead of this: http://g...

any ideas?

I have a Schaller (floyd rose licensed) base plate that is stripped in one spot. instead of buying a $40 Heli-Coil kit for a base plate that is known to strip (and will probably require subsequent repairs when the other threads go), does anyone know if a real floyd rose base plate will work with the...

FWIW, that singer would have been just fine without her pedal, and her monitor mix would have been better ;) I do some things to my vocals. maybe it's a bad thing. do you think this stuff would sound just as good dry? http://www.myspace.com/jeffreyjamesmusic I just think there's a lot of differing ...

what if I use a splitter after the pedals? send one to a monitor channel and the other to the house.

sheesh....you sound guys are touchy. :D but he's right....compression on stage can be tricky, as stated. it's usually not a great idea. but so can getting a sound guy to actaully use the rack of gear they have sitting beside the console they mostly use as an arm rest....that is, if the venue even h...
