Didn't realize it had been that long since i built these :D I ended up building another each of the RS100P and Tang Band. They sit atop each other, with the RS pushed back about an inch so that the cones are phase aligned. I use the Tang Bands for about half of my mixing, getting a lot of "the meat"...

(24v minus voltage drop of LED)/LED current rating = minimum resistance value.
But the white LEDs i've encountered tend to be blindingly bright, so beyond that it's best to experiment with larger resistances to find what actually looks good.

2000ish. Had just recorded my ep on a boss br8. Didn't have a computer myself, so I got a friend who knew computers and stuff to help me get it on to cd. First we tried to use his standalone zip drive to get the files onto his laptop. When that didn't work, went into the mic input. Using whatever l...

Nothing much to add yet. Following since I’ve got an mtx8 incoming that will need some work and I would like to do it all in one fell swoop. It only plays for a short time, sounds like it needs a belt replacement most likely according to this video: https://youtu.be/PhEQbCKqBMc I found the belts at...

Bullet heater might help, and add a element of danger to get the band psyched.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING

Another option would be those little electric radiators, which put out decent heat and are (mostly) silent.

The capstan motor in my mt8x went bad years and years ago and it's been sitting in a closet ever since. Lately I've been trying to resurrect it. I replaced the original motor with one I found on ebay. Transferred the brass pressfit pulley on to the new shaft. The transport would engage, play for 3-4...

It's def not a universal thing, it's really case by case. It's not something I'd do when tracking, especially if you're tracking yourself. I think it's extra important to keep the engineering decisions to the minimum when you're recording yourself so you can focus on playing. Interesting. That last...

Been here since 05ish and honestly these are the discussions I still need and appreciate the most. This place has certainly evolved over the years but it's always seemed novice friendly/accessible.

Alignment of one drum's peak in every mic means most every other part of the kit is now not time aligned.

I always thought mixing in stereo was a bit easier than mono because you can sorta move competing instruments off to the sides, out of each others' way. I need to buy new monitors anyway--maybe I should just get one? I tried tracking/ mixing in strict LCR for a hot minute and thought I'd really stu...

if you happen to be a UAD user, the Little Labs IBP plugin works great for this (and don't have to zoom in - just turn the knobs and listen...) I tried that plugin for lining up bass amp/DI once or twice. Maybe I didn't really get it, but nudging the wave was a lot easier (and free) for me. Not a U...

Wasn't one of the Stooges' records just an under-snare mic for the entire kit?

Had an EV dynamic from late 90s/early aughts. Cannot remember which model. It had super low output, terrible bass response, was distorted, etc. But perfect for certain very specific things. Eventually I gave up on it and dissected it. The voice coil/ diaphragm assembly was molded plastic so I destro...

I too love a RAT. I've nodded mine some, being able to select the type of clipping diodes or take them out of circuit is super useful imo. It can work as drive, distortion, or fuzz, all depending on how it's used. I've tried plenty of other pedals and always come back to it
