I've currently got the following gear for sale: Modified MXL 990 with headbasket mod and capacitor upgrade. Includes factory shockmount. I've done the capacitor swap on many 603's and 991's, but never a 990, so I bought this mic used and did the mods just for fun and a learning experience...

FA: Echo Layla 24/96 Recording interface complete w/ PCI Card, Snake, & ADAT cables After many years of faithful use, I'm getting rid of my trusty Echo Layla 24/96. I'm only selling it because I got a deal on much pricier interface that I simply couldn't pass up. I'm also throwing in an...

For sale on Ebay, I've got a specially modifed Insert Snake that lets you use your Mixer's Inserts as Direct Outs. There are Stereo/TRS plugs on one end of each channel with the Tip and Ring shorted together, and then standard TS plugs on the other end. Normally, when you plug a regular, 1/4"...

On a recent session, in addition to setting up my close mics and a spaced pair of overheads (Russian Oktava MC012's), I set up two "parallel room mics" (MXL 603'S), as recommended in the Drum Recording Handbook. I put them about 10 feet out in front of the kit and about 10 feet apart from each...

Just curious, but what software do most folks use for scheduling and keeping track of Sessions in their studio? I suppose you could use something like Outlook, Google Calendar, etc., but those are very generic, so you can't really enter a lot of relevant info (Session or Artist-specific stuff)...

Do you have a Mixer with Insert Jacks on each channel, but no Direct Outs? Or maybe your Mixer has Direct Outs, but only on only the first 8 channels (such as a Mackie CR1604, Phonic Sonic Station 16, various Behringer mixers, etc.). Have you ever wanted to record a live concert, but also run...

I just read this press release on the Behringer website: http://www.behringer.com/EN/news/news-from-the-music-group/ In the face of rapid company growth, the MUSIC Group has announced a restructuring of their European and US sales programs for the BEHRINGER and BUGERA brands toward a factory...

Hello, I'm selling 110' of Belden 1413A 20-channel snake cable on Ebay. This was left over from a large PA System install that I recently performed: http://cgi.ebay.com/Belden-1413A-20-Channel-Bulk-Audio-Snake-Cable-110-/320583657749?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa4466915 Here are the...

My mixes seem to really be lacking in high frequencies when I compare them to commercial recordings. When I look at a spectrum analyzer, the high frequencies fall off sharply around 9 or 10 kHZ on my mixes, whereas there seems to be a lot of energy up there on the commerical CD's. My question...

I just bought a pair of Quik Lok BS-336 Monitor Stands. On their website and in the instructions, it says you can fill the vertical columns with sand to help make the stand heavier and to help decouple the monitors from the floor. The problem is, there aren't any end caps on the vertical columns...

I've got an ART MPA Gold mic preamp, and I want to connect one of the outputs (1/4") to my recording interface and the other output (XLR) to a headphone amp. Should this cause any problems? I've seen some user manuals for pro audio gear that explicitly tell you not to use both outputs...

Hello, I've only recently begun to play around with MIDI recording, and I'm having some trouble. For my interface, I have an Echo Layla 24/96. For a MIDI controller, I bought a Behringer UMX25 USB MIDI keyboard. For my DAW software, I'm using Magix Music Studio 12 Deluxe. My problem is that...
