Hi. I buy and sell gear all the time....usually at a profit and sometimes at a great profit. I've been doing this for 25 years - as long as I've been a musician. I never lied to anyone or deceived anyone either so my conscience is clear. If my knowledge about a topic makes me money, then isn't that ...

So the question begs, how do you New Yorkers do it? I sleep in Staten Island, goto college in Queens, and work in Manhattan. I live in a terrible apartment complex. But the walls are thick, thick concrete. It's funny, the walls to the hallway are paper thin, but the walls inbetween spaces are solid...

My girlfriend bought me an Ibanez AGS83B semi-hollow electric guitar a couple years ago just out of the blue. Quite a cool "I love you" gift. 8) I am having a hell of a time finding a cheap case to put it in, though. I have been using this stupid acoustic guitar gig bag for almost 2 years, and now ...

it could be a bad cap giving you a parasitic oscillation, too. Also, you might want to check and see that the speaker has been evenly tensioned (just like a snare head) to the baffle. Yeah, the cap problem described above is just what I had once. Just needed to be replaced and the problem was solve...

Hi. Using this model of Mackie mixer, can I hear effects via monitoring through the board which are not actually being recorded. For example, my plan is to: 1. Have a signal being recorded into my PC soundcard via the Alt 3-4 bus on the mixer. 2. I will add the Alt 3-4 bus to the monitor mix via the...

About the pair of condensers.... I have an MXL 603S Mogami which I think is solid. I've never recorded something and said "that stinks". And I've often recorded something and said "I doubt I'll have to get something better than this mic for a while". I was using a Focusrite Preamp (in terms of full ...

I have a lot of experience with Les Pauls and different pickups. In spite of many of the threads on a lot of boards which say "You MUST buy a Seth Lover" or whatever, I'm going to recommend you get a Duncan '59 also. Why? Because in my experience, it is a great all around pickup. I think that a lot ...

Man, if there ever was someone who actually read and answered the exact question I've posted in a BBS - YOU ARE IT! Thank you!

Hi. I want to buy an analog mixer to use for recording with my PC. I only need to record 2 tracks simultaneously, while also monitoring through the analog mixer what's already been recorded and what I am currently recording. I do NOT want to use the mixer's: 1. direct outs 2. aux sends/returns 3. in...

radio shack has 2 pronged ac cables? i think they may only have 3 prong...

Also, is there an alternative place to get hubs and the above materials for the unit (other than e-bay)?

thanks,

Hi. I just got one of these machines and want to check it out. It is just the machine. So I know it at least needs: 1. Hubs (to hold the reels on) 2. Power cable (2 prong, old style) 3. Take-up reel What else do I need? How do I calibrate/clean/test? Is this machine worth checking out. I've recorded...

wow. thanks for the info on omnidisc - it looks like a great resource.

hi. i'm a bit new to the cd duplication world. i have been told that some dupe houses do CD-Rs only and that others do whatever is more standard (i don't know what the format is called, i'm sorry). my questions are: 1. what is the difference? 2. how can i ensure that they are not doing the CD-R meth...
