Hi all, This isn't really a recording-related gear query, but I have a feeling that someone here will be able to help me out. I'm in the process of putting a frankenstein Jazzmaster together, and I think that I'm going to need to find myself a new neck. I have a '63 Jazzmaster whose neck I love deep...

I had one consistent problem with my 828 mk1: almost everytime I transfer data over my FW bus (or really use the FW bus in any way at all) it will pop, click and almost invariably cut out. All I have to do is to flip the power switch to get it up and running again, so it's not really the end of the ...

Howdy, I know it's a long shot, but... I'm in the market for a pair of Symetrix PS-3 power supplies. This is the supply that comes with all of Symetrix's 300-series stuff, as well as the 450 and 460. I'm hoping that someone out there has blown something up and has a spare PS-3 lying around as a resu...

Anyone done some tests to see whether they could distinguish between CD versus 320k MP3 files? I ripped MP3 320 kbps files on my iMac, and then burned to a CD. took the burned CD and the original CDs to a friend's house. He loaded both in a Sony jukebox changer, feeding a parasound amp, and into a ...

There's a John Fahey one I like. Can't remember it's name. There are a few that seem to mostly be repacked versions of the same handful of songs. I have one called John Fahey Christmas Guitar and one called Christmas with John Fahey vol 2. I think there's a CD called The New Possibility that has mo...

Ok, I can see the point on the muddiness... but I guess that and more is what gave it character to me. It sounded Raw. But badly mixed? I don't know, i loved how it was mixed... lots and lots of fun hard left/right panning, weird stuff like that. The only song I really hate production/mix wise is "...

A tuning key.

I've only ever seen the Lomo capsules for sale at the sound room. Although I'm sure Michael Vladimirsky (rtt@online.ru) could hook you up as well. He seems like a good egg.

here's one off their site: http://www.tedleo.com/audio/Me_and_Mia.mp3 I hear autotune, too... a radio-rock bore-fest, imho... Where are you hearing autotune? Ted Leo is a ridiculously gifted singer, so I doubt that he'd be singing anything out of key enough to need autotuning to the extent that the...

I've also had good luck with the Beyer TGX50, Chris Garges Charlotte, NC That's my favorite for loud rock stuff. I bought it as kick mic, but it sucks in that application. It's even pretty cool for vocals sometimes. I actually like it for kick drum. I recorded a television with it last week as a ba...

The Beyerdynamic M380TG is a bi-directional dynamic mic favored by the Westons and Albinis of the world. It has a huge proximity effect and is a fantastic sounding microphone for most low-end heavy sources. Works amazingly well on electric bass cabinets. $340USD, includes shipping and insurance in U...

They're not even offering a student/educational discount on the upgrade. Gah.

And your opinion is still as myopic as it was a year ago. Yip-frigging-eeee.

Just because no one's mentioned much about the american vintage aquarian heads, I'll say this in their favor: they have a slightly larger diameter than most modern heads so they fit more easily over vintage drums. If you own a round badge gretsch kit, you will understand what a godsend this can be. m.

there are others who are banding together and trying to help each other out conscious of the rate thing. I'm all for this. i think it's important to support each other...governing dynamics...no one gets laid if we all go after the blonde. MIke This sound like a good idea. I think I'm gonna have to ...
