A legend for mixing consoles. Didn't know he passed away. In fact, didn't know he was still alive. ;) Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Alan for the Sessions CD Sampler. I've listened in the car a bit and am beginning to form some opinions. It will be a bit before I can seriously sit down with it. However, for initial comments, I appreciate the effort in sending the CD and I especially appreciate the effort in creating...

Hmm. Interesting concept. Especially with the blend of feedback and regular sustain. I've heard great reviews of the Sustainer circuitry. However, I wonder about guitar build quality. I also wonder if the higher end Fernandes guitars also have better quality control. If anyone has any...

First post of an old tune: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/metal/lopp/ Check out "Crusher." I'm mainly concerned with the guitar tone. Might consider getting a Recto or TriAxis to add beef. Not much EQ on it, might consider scooping it a bit. Matt

A few posts ago, Sonusman recommended getting a used power amp for PA applications. So I started scouring around for amps, originally considering the Peavey CS800 because my bands used them in the 90's. A reliable salesman recommended a used BGW 750C over the Peavey. He mentioned that BGW had...

I'm trying to figure out the most essential PA components to getting a good sound. In particular, we've got a small PA and I need to figure out where to upgrade first and what is going to give us the most "bang for the buck." One thing I'm looking for is a good web resource for PA contruction...

I'm running a Mesa/Boogie Quad and I need a rack mount effects processor that can be inserted in the effects loop. The primary effects I need are chorus and delay. In particular, I'm looking for good effects for the price. I don't want the effects processor to color the dry signal. For...

I've been shopping around for the Mesa/Boogie TriAxis and have been comparing prices and here's what I've found: New: $1500 Used: $950 WTF? These used ones are in good shape and are version 2. Why the dramatic drop in price? I've found a shop that can do a bit of a deal new (shhhh), but I'm...

In my ongoing quest to purchase a POD, I again stopped by the shop to pick one up. Instead, I got the Digitech RP100. Here's the scenario: I was heading to Madison to jam with an old bandmate. We wanted to keep the volume and equipment to a minimum, so the Boogie, etc. stayed at home...

Everyone here probably realizes that I truly prefer the SansAmp products to the Line 6 stuff. However, this past weekend I went to Mars and was ready to purchase a POD for playing though a DR-5 as a small practice device. Mainly because my GT2 doesn't have effects and my PSA-1 is rackmounted...

Alright. Sonic Foundry used to put out a product called CD Architecht. From what I remember, the product allowed for good control of cross fading between songs, specific insertion of track locations, etc. The problem was that it included a CD burner. This was only a minor problem if you...

No, not "explain" mastering. Define mastering. From all the posts I've seen, possible answers include: - Mastering is the process of putting anything on your final mix to make it sound better. - Mastering is an art form, acuired over years of experience, of applying what is right for music...

Any impressions? Describe your favorite guitar body wood and what characterises that wood from the others. Matt

I jsut recently compared the PSA-1 and the GT2 to the POD and ended up getting a used PSA-1. I thought I'd share my reason(s) for anyone who may be considering these amp modelers/emulators: My main concern is the basic tone and character of the preamp. If the tone isn't there before the...
