Elton John seems to be taking the cue and bowing out with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. Folks I know saw him in Nashville and said he looked frail. Maybe he hung on too long, but as long as people keep showing up, why not? Kind of glad he set his own terms though.

I remember playing a Peavey Tube amp that this venue had (forget the model) when I was in Poland in '02 or 04'. It was the sweetest amp ever. Not sure if it was so great because of the higher voltage over there or what but headroom and breakup were amazing. I loved it. Something to be said...

This is an older 1980's version of the DPA 4007 microphone. I have a substitute plastic mic box (from a Behr ECM8000) that I can provide for it, not original. This is the mic only, no original anything but the mic itself. The mic works great. These things sell new (the DPA ones) around $2,000...

This thing is going to waste at my studio. I love it but I need the space back. I barely ever used it. All offers will be considered. It has an ugly scratch down the front and some spots that don't look too pretty, but it is functional. Questions, post in the thread. In SoCal, pick-up in...

Free Online "Mastering" I guess all you mastering engineers will be out of a job soon.:rolleyes: :facepalm:

I converted my garage into a studio this last year and this is the first project to come out of it complete. I recorded this and 3 other songs for a friend. I'd like some input from you all here how it sounds. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rwsajalo5dr9oph/That%20Ain%27t%20Rock%26Roll_Mix_1_2-6-14.mp3

This is my floor plan. It's actually changed a bit from this. When I laid out the new walls I actually made them so that none of them would be parallel to the large wall opposite (to the north). Also the box shaped "vocal booth" isn't quite so box shaped in reality.

But can someone tell me if this is a good price on Laminated Glass? :o 1/2" Lami with .060 interlay, 42"x54" :$231.00 3/8" Lami with .060 interlay, 42"x54" :$231.00 It's for my control room window. ALSO: what about the glass thicknesses? Sound about right?(1/2" and 3/8")?

I was at the NAMM Show last week and saw some cool new stuff, in particular, this pretty cool mixer from Line6: The mixer has autosensing inputs on XLR/TRS combo jacks that auto-trim as well. The mixer shows a stage plot with drag and drop icons representing whatever you choose. Tons of DSP...

So I have already gone to my city hall and tried to get a permit to convert my garage into a recording studio. I was told flat out, NO. :mad: (I barely got the words out of my mouth before I was shut down.) Apparently my neighborhood is zoned so that a garage MUST be on the property. So I...

Alesis XD Digital Inline Mixing Console :o Anyone have a link or any experience with this board? I cannot find a single dribble of information on this thing anywhere, and I've been googling for 20 minutes. My gut tells me it was a pre chapter 11 debacle that never quite made it off the...

Shure Model 300 Ribbon mic. I had this mic stored on its side for a long time. :( Now the ribbon is visibly sagged in the direction it was lying. I know this because I took it apart and inspected it to verify. Even when it is put together you can hold it up to a bright light and see through...

That's right. Step right up. Your music ain't "warm" until you're listening through a set of these babies. Check it out. http://edifier.ca/eshop/product_info.php?products_id=69

Thought this might be a usefull link:Here you go I tried to title the thread so future searchers can find it easy. If you are trying to figure out what headphones to get for your headphone amplifier, this could help you decide. :)

So I'm watching the special on PBS about Bob Dylan, and I keep seeing this mic. Looks like a Blue Ball, but of course this was 1965. And all the folkies had one for the vocals and one below for the acoustic guitar. I've never seen it before, sounded pretty good. Any one see this? Know what it...
