Looking for a nice Shure Beta58 for less than retail. Let me know if you have a used one, or where I could find one online that is not $160.

I'm looking to trade up. When I originally bought this I was trying to get a jack of all trades type mic. Now I'm specifically looking for a good lead vocal mic; I find the OM-3 gets a bit bassy/muddy on my particular voice. Mics I'm looking to trade this for (+/- cash): Sennheiser e835, e838...

Looking for a Shure SM7. I'm in the SF, bay area CA if that helps.

Would prefer a PS3 over a PS5. Let me know if you've got one. Thanks!

I can get a pair of Mackie HR624 for $400 total (used for 3 years on and off from what I'm told). Is this considered a good deal, or should I be looking elsewhere? I'm trying to graduate from my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 computer speakers for mixing, and was looking at these. If the above isn't a...

Didn't know if this was the right section, but... My bassist can't hear himself in the mix for live tracking, and I'd like to get him to hear more of himself while everybody else hears the mixed out with less of him. Is it possible to use a standard Y adapter that is a signal splitter to do the...

Is it possible to use a standard Y adapter that is a signal splitter to do the opposite? I have a 1/8 to 2x1/8 signal splitter (radio shack kind that you use to get 2 headphone outs from a single CD player output), a headphone amp, and my bassist's headphone out from his amp. Here's what I'm...

So I'm in a band that has its first out of state shows coming up. We're playing at the Black Forest in Eugene July 11th and the Tonic Lounge in Portland July 12th. So I've got 2 questions: 1. How do we best promote these shows while we're still in CA? I've been trying the myspace thing to add...

Ok, I did a few searches on this board and couldn't find what I was looking for. I have a problem with the boxiness/"sounds like it was recorded at home" of my recent recordings. I thought if I panned the tracks and adjusted levels, I could get the sound that I was looking for. Here's a...

I finally did it. I actually recorded songs that go together on an album. That's a first for me because I usually just give up by the end of the 1st song with all the rerecording and mastering and shiz. I could really use some tips for mixing though; I mostly just panned everything so the...

Hey guys, I'm looking for something that will record live sessions, allow rewind and overwriting, and the ability to export to a computer (ultimately to a CD). We have a Firepod, but problem is that the computer that was dedicated for recording is a POS (256MB RAM, 800MHZ or something) and...

Hey all, I've got a question about vocal recording for you. My main problem is getting the vocal to "sit" well in the mix. For some reason, whenever I try to bring the vocals down a bit by raising volume of other tracks, the vocals just seem to sit the same, but less audibly. In other words...

Sorry....duplicate thread. See the thread called "Sitting Vocals". Why can't we delete our own threads? Thanks!

Ok, so this may seem like a stupid question, but I want to hear people's opinions. I want to know how "ready" you are when you play live. By that, I mean, how much material do you have, how happy are you with it, etc.? I'm only asking because I want to get out and play, but a) I don't think...

Got a new song if you're interested. The myspace and soundclick url's are in my sig. Please let me know what you think. I'd appreciate any comments, especially on the stereo panning; I fudged the last song I posted by doing a terrible job with stereo placement. Thanks in advance!
