yeah, that's a theremin, I recorded a band a couple of months ago that used one that looked exactly like that. A theremin is controlled by the user's proximity. It's not controlling his guitar, he's just using his body to make sounds come out, and it's blending with his sound...might be routed...

Alright, here's a few things...first of all, USB cables are pretty standard, so picking up a new one of those shouldn't be an issue. Moving on, for the longest time I was on a severe budget myself...all I had was an analog mixer and an Audix drum mic set. So my only option was to mic up the...

you tell 'em to shut up and like it...cause they got nowhere else to go! No, but seriously, I've fallen into the trap of cutting deals for people and only ended up seriously screwing myself...not because they were trying to take advantage of me, it was more because I get kinda perfectionist-y...

alright, here's my opinion on a few things. When I had first gotten into recording, I didn't have the luxury of multitrack inputs, the best I could do was a stereo input through my computers soundcard. Which meant that drums were done fully mic'ed and mixed to stereo on a 12 input mixing board...

So I'm in the market for some new mics to record toms with. From my understanding up to this point the sennheiser md 421 seems to be the quintessential tom mic, and is pretty good with guitar cabs as well. But at about $400 a pop, they're a little pricey...not out of my range, but I'm...

really? maybe it is the drivers then...well it's something to look into...i'm probably going to upgrade ram anyway for the purposes of mixing and plugin usage. I've gotten into some projects where I've had over 48 tracks at times, and when you start using a bit of eq hear and there...

hey why not? play around see what happens. there's a lot of pretty inexpensive tube preamps out there you can buy...presonus makes a bunch of them. Are they worth it? I don't know, haven't gotten one yet. But I've been thinking about picking one up just to see what I can get out of it...

I use a presonus firestudio 26x26 interface, with a presonus digimax fs adat'ed through that for 16 simultaneous inputs. I completely ignore latency issues and use the largest possible buffer for stability insurance. I directly monitor my incoming signals and use nuendo's recording latency...

yeah, shouldn't be an issue at all. Just pick up one of those toslink adat cable from guitar center or somewhere...you can buy a 3 footer for like 4 dollars. Connect it from the adat out of the rack to the adat in of the board. Know when you select input on whatever software you're using and...
