Hi. I recently purchased an MXL V63M Stereo LDC mic as a MF stupid deal of the day for 50 bucks and was wondering if anyone around here had any experience with it they'd like to share. I bought it thinking it may be useful for drum overheads and/or acoustic guitars, but since it seems to have...

Hi. Here is a manifesto of my latest (and most likely last) attempt at a purchase from Musician's Friend. I have posted this in a couple of places online, so don't be surprised if it pops up somewhere else. I'm just hoping that someone else can avoid some of the difficulties I have run into to...

Finally, after 2 other failed attempts at purchasing my "dream guitar" from Musicians Fiend, I have finally got the guitar that I have been hoping to own for the 25+ years I've been playing!!! You can read about guitar #1 here: http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149348 You can...

This is the latest addition to the harem! It was a custom job (bare mahogany body with creme binding), and they liked it so much themselves that they actually have posted it up on their site!! This guitar plays like a dream! Clear articulation of strings and chords "sing" like none of my other...

Hi. The subject heading says it all. I have one of the "original" T3's (with an NOS tube) and was wondering just exactly what I'm missing out on by *not* upgrading to the newer T3v2 ...and (for Mr. Gerst) the T3v2 w/Cinemag transformer? Thanks! -mr moon

OK. I will make this quick and to the point. Long story short, I will never ever ever buy another guitar/bass without being able to play it first!! ...I know, you're all saying "DUH!!", but up until now I have purchased a couple of low-buck guitars without incident. However, with what I have...

Hi folks, I just want to make you aware of an issue with the ADL600 which was described in a review (by Paul J. Stamler) published in the October issue of Recording magazine. Here's a quote from the article detailing the problem: "The other anomaly I measured was the input impedances. These...

Hi folks. I just wanted to share the news that some of our SONAR-produced music will be included in a documentary which is scheduled to be released on Labor Day!! Here's a link to a trailer for the documentary: "The Big Fix" Documentary Trailer Our music is also included in the trailer; it's...

Hi. Does anyone know of a guitar pickup manufacturer's website which not only provides samples of what their product sounds like, but what the stock pickup in the same guitar sounds like? For example, I have a Gibson Les Paul Studio which has the original pickups. I'm thinking about upgrading...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone here has attempted to substitute the 12AX7 tube that comes standard in the VTB-1 with any other type (i.e. a "12AY7" tube perhaps) and had any success? I'm using the VTB-1 to power a ribbon mic for recording acoustic guitars and noticed that the 12AX7 tube seemed a...

Hi. Does anyone have any experience with the Ashly rack-mountable MX-Series mixers, like the MX-206 or the MX-406? Specifically, I was wondering about the quality of the preamps; what other preamps they would compare to sound-wise, and such. Ashly MX-Series Mixers (link) I was hoping to...

Anyone have some links to some online vendors that I can order some gaffer tape from? All I can find locally is duct tape (even one brand called "duck" tape!), but I have not been able to find gaffer tape locally at all. BTW: Gaffer tape is almost exactly the same as duct tape, but its adhesive...

Hi. Anyone have any experience(s) with the Presonus ACP88 compressor/limiter/gate they'd like to share? I am contemplating purchasing one of these units primarily to use as a limiter and gate when recording drums. I have worked with drummers who request gates on this drum and/or that drum, so I...

Hi. I'm looking to purchase a set of mics to record mostly toms and possibly snare. I have a BeyerDynamic M69 which I use for guitar cabs and such (I have been really pleased with it) and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Opus 67 drum mics. I have an SM57 which I can use for...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone here at Homerec has an electronic (.pdf) copy of the RNP Quickstart Guide that I could have you send me via email? I just received my new RNP yesterday and last night I noticed that I have received a copy of the manual that is missing all the odd pages (...that's...

Hi folks, I slammed out an updated mix of "Dust Under the Wheel" late last night, and it's ready to be critiqued, slammed, or whatever. I took everyone's comments into consideration when I approached it this time around, and I'm ready to see what ya' all think. Dust Under The Wheel...

Hi. I will be doing some drum recording sessions soon and would like to know how folks deal with gating to control mic bleed (mostly hihats) on the snare mic. Do most folks gate during recording, or is it better to record dry and then apply a software gate after the fact? Or, am I missing the...
