There are so many great options these days. Produce Like a Pro, Creative Live, Nail The Mix. These are all pretty good resources. Gregory Scott, the buy behind Kush and Sly-Fi just started a web series. The longer of the 3 videos is 99 cents, the other two are free. I really enjoyed it. http://www.t...

The main difference in enterprise level drives, has little to do with quality, tolerances, or performance. The main difference is fault recovery. On a desktop drive, if a sector cannot be accessed, the hardware controller on the drive will keep trying to access that data up to a timeout. Most deskto...

I would say that your those ranges are an appropriate classification. The hard part is trying to figure out what heck some is actually talking about when they want a mix or instrument to be, "Brighter", "Heavier", or "Insert Vague Subjective Term". The numeric classification is important, but how pe...

Do you have a copy of the manual?

I think there are a few folks around here that have digital copies, maybe.

It gives diagrams, detailing how to take apart every inch of the machine. That is your best bet.

I have a Carter Starter as weil, and an Ernie Ball Jr. volume pedal. I experienced something similar when trying to use them both through my '65 Bandmaster and my '96 Vibro-king. I avoided using these amps with the Carter because of this. After hearing your story, I definitely think it's the volume ...

Do you know that plugging into the return jack bypasses the reverb and is pretty much the same as plugging into a regular Fender amp? I did not try this, but did just remove the tubes for the reverb. I'll give it a go. I'll also check those diodes. Been a bit busy lately, so I haven't gotten to ope...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I gave the board a good inspection, to make sure that there were no leaky caps, or anything else visibly amiss. I tried swapping out each preamp tube with a known good tube. This week I'll try magicman's advice, and check the plate voltages across both power tubes, and ...

The power tubes recently blew on my mid-90s Fender Vibro-King. I replaced the the power tubes, and also notices that the "screen-grid" resistor, across two pins of one of the power tubes had blown (There was carbonization on it). I replaced that as well. Now when a turn it on, I can barely nudge the...

Just another option, I always dual-boot my music machine with Ubuntu and use that if I need to do any surfing/internet related activity (or anything non-music related, for that matter). Much cheaper than buying a mac and just as virus-proof, if not more-so. It's very simple to do and you can alloca...

I have not used it extensively, but have messed around with it. It seems to have some flavors that oZone does not. I was, overall, pleasantly surprised with how I got things sounding. The compression, especially when using parallel compression with one of the compressors in RMS mode sounds very tran...

What I find particularly discouraging is that this whole situation can basically be viewed as a microcosm of commercial interests steam-rolling the pursuit of accurate information. This is not exclusive to the audio world, but very prevalent within it. Although it is not necessarily the companies th...

Sorry to get political and start resembling the topic so aptly described by EarlSlick in his thread above... I will now "lock" myself so we can get back to normal discussion. If anyone else has a comment, either PM me (I don't bite), or I aquiese, you win. I'm not interested in a flame war. But som...

Why is that when people want to have an in depth discussion about engineering or science concepts in regard to a particular commercial product, things always get nasty? It seems the script reads like this: 1. Curious individuals parse a particular claim, and react to it skeptically. 2. Well qualifie...

I just picked this up as well. I agree 100% with Nick, that if someone doesn't, for example understand what a reasonable level of magnetic flux is through an real tape head is, that they will over do it, and may not be too happy with the results. Overall, it does a really nice job of adding some nic...

I just finally received a response from Wharfdale. I was given the number for their US distributer for Wharfdale Pro, which is American Music and Sound.

I will post my findings after I call.
