Just sayin'. jt full compass sells new ones for $36500. here's a link to an ebay auction for a "like new" mh4 w/ the same tour package and without an extra power supply and without a roadcase for ...

jim sheldon and i would love to come. let me check the datebook.

should I not worry about bumping up the volume as loud as I may be able to, as I have heard of the idea of "Leaving Room" for the mastering fellows to do so? apart from using any compression on the stereo mix, it's a pretty good idea to send as high a level as possible without clipping. when the wo...
