Soundtracs Topaz 48V power supply issue

Ok, thanks for all the ideas. Very helpful. I opened the power supply and there's really not much to troubleshoot in there. Simply remove four screws and the top panel comes off. Inside you've got a toroid with four leads on the primary and four on the secondary. The primary is wired to the power sw...

Soundtracs Topaz 48V power supply issue

Recently bought a Soundtracs Topaz 24/8. It's in good condition and has been well maintained. I'm very happy with the sound of it. It's my first console and I feel like I've got a tool that will take a long time to outgrow. The first issue that's come up for me is that the power supply's 48V phantom...

House Song

This is a good song. Thanks. I enjoyed it. You've asked for comments on compression/eq and I'm going to assume that you're interested in general feedback. Disclaimer: sometimes I think nice is boring and I get paid to critique shit so that's what I do. No offense intended. Like dude said, interwebs....

Mexico City gear

I spent a year in Mexico City DF. This was five years ago. It's a very different scene than Merida, and with the size of DF you'd expect to find a lot of the same gear we have in the states, but it wasn't easy. The places I recommend checking out require you to have a little bit of free time, and ba...

re: don't sweat the technique

Great work. Impressive musicianship. I agree with Brad that a tape delay sound might be better. I'd like to hear a dirtier, warmer delay sound. If the band still has the performance dialed, maybe it's time to experiment with some mechanical filters (google Tchad Blake interview for more details). I ...

working on storytelling music

I've been writing songs for a few years mostly just because I like to play and sing. Friends have encouraged me to record, and I'm kinda hesitant because you know, I got a job and a life and not a lot of extra energy for putting a band together and starting the epic hustle. Eventually I took to buil...
