Hi Guys Thought I would piggyback a question on this thread - haven't posted for awhile, been very busy with work and playing in a 2nd band (keys in a ska/old school reggae outfit). Anyway, I have a similar question and could really use the collective advice/wisdom of the forum. While I concur with ...

We have a Rode that we are happy with (use when a stereo pair for some reason isn't employed). Also have some cheapies that work fine for live stereo recordings or ambience/SFX capture. You are obviously talking about an entirely different class; I only have one thing to add to the discussion-- try...

yeah, this a really great show. Even my wife really liked it, and she not a musician (but likes music, especially the blues/roots). Its a bit slow/long, but highly recommended. An excellent story line/flow, and is interesting on a human element. The music is just an extra bonus for us. Those of you ...

I have exactly this setup (well, except for the crazy PCMCIA thing, I'm surprised that works). not at my recording computer right now, but that sounds right. Double check the naming - I think you will see it says a "2" somewhere in each of the naming scheme for the second set of inputs. Also, I thin...

Hey V-cubed what about one of the SMPro Audio M-patch monitor control thingies? You might be able to find a used one for ~ $50 or so. Not sure about unbalanced out, but I think they take unbalanced in. You got me thinking - maybe I should try mine to really drive my EH12AY preamp before clipping my ...

yeah, and I think leaving the original accordion door on the outside would also have the added benefit of distracting would-be burglars, i.e., "nothing to see here, just a normal ol' garage, not a transformed building full of tasty, easily hawked musical equipment". Or that's what I would think, any...

One thing I discovered, completely by accident: in a low ceiling basement, putting your monitors up on stands works much better than having them on the floor (by stands I mean those PA type-stands, or "monitor stands" like On Stage sells) when monitors are on the floor, I think some of the sound jus...

Yeah, I'd go with Ottobot and the polka. And hymns too (specially when played on an out of tune upright, it'll bring tears to your eyes) PS Ottobot, small world! part of my family has been in Decatur for >100 years (probably nobody besides us realize how small those towns are!) PSS that part of nort...

Re: Post your clicks
good topic. sort of on-topic....since most of my songs start out with guitar, i've noticed that almost invariably the first couple 'scratch' guitars i record end up being the best, feel-wise. even if i'm playing to a shitty drum machine. basically i feel like the first guitars i throw down sound li...

Hey guys, thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for! Great sounds and enough variations. Plus, the purty pictures and limited scope help keep my wandering mind anchored to what sound idea I was thinking of (instead of randomly tripping through all the sounds presented by a Rompler without a tra...

Best software/samples for basic percussion sounds?
Any suggestions for (relatively cheap) samples/software that have a good, varied collection of basic percussion sounds? By basic I mean tamborine, cowbell, woodblock, sleighbells, handclaps, chains, etc.. With lots of variations for each. (NOT djembe, tablas, rainstick, oud, marimbe, etc. Not that t...

one thing you could try is plugging the port (with a small rubber stopper or something), and seeing if you like the sound better. Also, there may still be some sound leakage out of the unhooked-up tweeter, but really at this point I'm talking out of my ass, hence the muffled tone you are detecting a...
