Embarrased by "Personal Jesus" or "A Question Of Time"? (or anything Depeche Mode?) That's hardly something to be embarrased about... heck, anything listed here so far has its merits, methinks! well then, i'd rather listen to that particular song with you guys. i know i can choose out of feeling em...

i think noise cancellation actually works, so you might want to look there for the isolation function (if you don't mind headphones on batteries).

the bass di subject is tape op's wart problem. it never goes away.

when i think devo, i think drum machines. which songs are your reference?

This is really easy, Depeche Mode's 'A Question of Time'. The lyric, like several other songs in pop-dom, is addressing a 15-year-old miss. I jam over it. Sometimes I sing it, and I always change the lyric to: "Well now youre only nineteen And you look good Ill take you under my wing Somebody should...

Right. I guess my question was more along the lines of 'How did it get that way?'

Do you have a definitive sound? If so, how did you arrive at it? I'm prompted by Gary Glitter's stompy, clap-rich rhythm section and his 'elephant lead', a mix of (tone-down) fuzz guitar and perhaps some kind of horn . Everything I've heard sounds like this, and I got to thinking, how does this happ...

Scritti Politti.

btw, Depeche Mode are maverick maestros. I go through spells where I listen to them daily.

and now is one of them.

toolshed: thanks for revealing the truth. i just don't know. does anyone have a pre they can crank full open connected to a 57 in a quiet (but not 'soundproof' room) and not hear a high noise floor? and yes, great in-depth description by the professor. when i play my sharp/bright acoustic loud, it s...

1st, i think i'm talking about pre-noise. i think it's natural to expect 'some' with it cranked, and 'some' turns out to be too much. more specifically, i'm not sure. it's like, 'i can hear the air and the air is too much'. if the headphone cable slight brushes the acoustic body, it's too loud. so m...

I was complaining about the S/N ratio I was getting with a SM57 trying to record acoustic guitar, and the listener (someone who works in the same style I do) said I need a large diaphragm condensor. Is this the answer? Are condensors "hot" enough to be more suitable for acoustics? Otherwise, I'm per...

splurge. buy a manufactured reamp device. if you don't have the money, save for one or buy on credit.

there are a lot of DIY'ers here. building your own devices is cool, but you sound like money is your primary concern. if you don't have it, get it or borrow one or try something else.

I'm curious how many here still use soundfonts. I have one multi-sampled piano one that I actually like and still use. Anyone else still rely on these much? I do, basically for an infinite supply of kicks and snares. Also, anything less than 2 bars I'd rather trigger as a sample than play as audio....
