I have to say a few things. First of all, Ron [just kidding,Rod] is above and beyond helpful and cool. If anyone out there finds a Roberts 770x or an Akai m8 for sale they'd be an idiot for not using these as mic pre's. Rod has his mod schematics posted on his website for anyone wanting to do this. ...

I tried monster cables for my live set-up. I use a 68' J-45 through a tu2 tuner and a boss graphic eq for a boost [ I know the boss stuff is a weak link but it's the most practical option I have in my opinion}. I was using George L cables and whatever misc. cables I had lying around. Guess what? Big...

If you are into diy you could make some using trs male and female ends, xlr male and female ends, and regular mic cable. First, cut off about a foot of mic cable. On one end solder the female trs and on the other end solder the male xlr. Next, cut off another foot on mic cable and solder the male tr...

Re: CB Radio sound on vox
Crazy Cooder comin' atcha. You can go to a pawnshop or junk store and buy a cheap cb radio and clip the mic. You can then convert it to xlr. It sounds like a cb mic because it is a cb mic. I found one in west Texas for a dollar and figured what the hell, why not? I couldn't get the signal near stron...

Re: pushing/pulling film speeds
Todays color film is a lot more forgiving as far as exposure is concerned.You can be off 2 or 3 stops and still get a decent picture. That's why disposable cameras have become available over the last few years. When you change the asa on your camera you're fooling it into thinking a different speed ...

Re: Ashlee Simpson on SNL
Here's my e-mail to nbc: You are sooooooo busted. Nice pre-recorded vocal track for Ashlee Simpson. There are so many talented people out there that actually know how to sing and you throw that no-talent up there with a lame attempt to lip-sync. You just clearly illustrated what's wrong with the mus...

Ashlee Simpson on SNL
I came home from a gig tonight and turned on the tv to snl and saw Ashlee Simpson walk off stage when the her pre-recorded vocal came on early! The band kept playing by themselves for a few more seconds before they cut to commercial. Awesome! Awesome! Awsome! Please tell me someone else out there sa...

Re: How many Tape-Oppers does it take to change a light bulb
I like to stick a '57 about 2 inches away from the bulb, 3 inches if the bulb is 60 watts or more. If I have track space, i"ll throw up an omni to get that room sound and then blend the 2 tracks. I take a slightly different approach to flourescents. Basically, two omni's in the blumein position. Can...

Re: Fucking Debates
In my opinion, the 2000 elections can't be compared to the 2004 election. At this point the 2000 elections don't matter at all anymore. I agree, in 2000 Nader probably didn't cost Gore the election as much as an apothetic population. I personally believe Gore wouldn't have made a good President, any...

Re: Fucking Debates
I believe that al-qaeda would love for Bush to be president again. But I think that if the U.S. was struck again, people here might view it as this administration not doing it's job in protecting us. It would be hard to blame a terrorist attack on the Democrats. Actually, about half of the country w...

Re: Protestors are a target market demographic
I heard in the NPR story a spokesperson for a protest group say they would rather have their full civil liberties than a coupon. Rock on!

Re: Farfisa
I'm gonna pass on it. I just can't shell out any money on something I can't see. If it were a wurly 200a or something else that you could readily look up then I might do it. Shit, I don't even really play keyboards. I just think I can.
Anyway, thanks for the help, everybody.

Re: Farfisa
The guy said it has two rows of keys. Also it's 80 watts and comes with a bench and an instructional tape. I assume it's an audio tape and not a video tape. I could call him and find out. That's about all I know. He only wants $25.00 for it so it might be worth it if I could have that Augie Meyers s...
