I don't know if the Focal's use a push clip or solder to the woofer, but might be worth opening it up to check and make sure there is not an intermittent connection. might save you a lot of hassle in the long run. Too late, it’s in the shop. But considering powering it down and back on fixed the pr...

My monitor controller was distorting out, so I bypassed it and sent it to the manufacturer. Then the woofer on one of my Focals started cutting out. Tweeter only. Restart the speaker, woofer is back (for a while). So that monitor is at a place that can service Focal, with ominous caveats about « par...

Sometimes I hi-pass AND lo-pass electric guitars, trying to have it live in just the range it needs. And then I play it back the next day and sometimes it sounds like a jar full of insects. Oops. Hi-passing kick is something I started experimenting with in the last few years, after doing a recording...

A Catalinbred Antichthon, which is insane weird and difficult. I got an amazing sound out of this when I demo'd it, so I bought it immediately. Since then I've not been able to get anything useful out of it. Help me? I don’t think I could use it live, takes too much tweaking. I know antichthon want...

I had Soul Food for a while, but in my setup the mids seemed a little honky and it lost its charm. So now in its place is a Barber Gain Changer, which is great for overdrive and crunch. It’s my basic always-on if I don’t want Fender cleans (mostly from a Fender Showman combo with a Weber 15”). For t...

I still have a valid PT "permanent" license, but I've completely moved to Logic running on a recent mac mini.

It's working for me. Last EP I put together was 100% in Logic.

Sorry, duplicate

Beyerdynamic m69 went down, repair guy looked at it with a microscope and said a wire inside the capsule was broken, impossible to fix. A used one was cheaper than a new capsule.

EV 767– capsule failed somehow, no mictoscope this time, but again a used one was cheaper than a new capsule.

I got 2 421’s, which is enough for me. A white one from who knows what era, and one from the 80’s so probably a II. I haven’t actually done a comparison, I usually use the white one.

Tascam 234 4-track cassette. It only runs high-speed, and I need to switch between hi and lo.

This week I might offload a Korg PE-1000, a very cool primitive synthesizer.

Got it, it's in decent shape, and every channel seems to work. Totally worth $60

The Soundcraft powered board that I use for band practice needs work. 2 of the 8 channels are clean, the rest are distorted. And the thing is heavy and has needed repairs every few years, so I'm going to replace it. With a Ramsa 208 that I got super-cheap off e-bay ($25 + $40 shipping. That cheap). ...

I’m an amateur messin’ around in the basement. But I did a major downsize once (maybe twice)? There was a relationship where moving might have been in the picture. At the time I had an MCI 618 console that barely fit in my space, you could turn sideways to squeeze by in one side or the other. The 61...

I still have half a box of blanks c60s from delta media. It has taken 5 years to go through those. And I have two small boxes of fancy TDK smx20’s that I got when they were still cheap. If this turns out not to be a lifetime supply I’ll start recording over the Maxxell and TDK car tapes from the ear...
