I'm currently running cable from my control room to my live room and while I was running my xlr snake I wondered if they made anything like it for speaker cable? I know I planned on just running a couple speaker cables along the snake line but I thought I would ask here first. I've did searches onli...

If I'm not mistaken, the coeffiecients look like Owens Corning 703. If you have an enterprising spirit, you could save even more money and build these yourself. I've built a number of similar panels for quite a bit less than $100. I might have some free time before my next project starts. Know of a...

A great and cheap pedal that works well for this is an Ibanez Lo Fi pedal. I recently saw a friend's band play and during parts of the set he had a cool distortion on his vocals. I thought all along they had their own FOH, but it turns out the singer was controlling it from the stage. He just had th...

I was thinking of building my own, but I've been quite busy with sessions lately that I can't seem to find the time. IT might be easier just to buy something like this... The price doesn't seem too steep either.

I just bought another 4047 and 2 baby bottles so I'll most likely use 2 of them for rooms and the other for overheads...

I heard that Dave Friedman sometimes wires up blown/ripped speakers, lays them on the floor and mics them up. Seems like it could sound cool for something.

I've owned an 192 rig for over a year now and have never recorded over 96k. I usually just run 88.2 and I'm happy with my recordings/mixes.

a pair of room mics in the $1000 range. Suggestions?

Looking to buy some room mics... I've used those blue baby bottles before and liked those pretty good. I'm considering those but wanted to see what you guys thought. A while ago I borrowed another cmv-563 (I own one) and absolutely loved that combination. I'm afraid buying another one of those right...

Vintech x81 vs. x73i

I'm in the market for a new pre and have been looking at both of these. I need a great pre with eq.

Has anyone used these and what are their experiences?


I recently bought a Dual-72 that I love.
