    So... Mackie Onyx?

    I'm just curious, I don't plan on buying one, but has anybody tried one of these yet? Anybody get a chance to compare them to the old Mackie VLZ pres? How about to the Soundcraft M Series pres?

    FT: soundelux u195

    Looking to trade a Soundelux u195 with wood case and shockmount (in original box, mic is in excellent condition, shockmount fell once and one arm is bent, but it still works perfectly) for a Shure SM7 and an FMR RNP (or something like it) and some cash.

    Replacing guitar parts.

    I recently got a guitar off of ebay and noticed the plastic piece that holds the strings before going to the tuners is not flush against the neck. It looks like a pretty shabby job. I plan on taking it off, getting all the gunk off of the neck/headstock area and then putting it back on. What...

    Selling: Soundelux u195

    Looking to get $950. Mic is in perfect condition. Used it about 3 times. Still in original packaging. The only problem would be that one arm on the spider mount is bent, but it is still fully functional. chris (at) silentopp (dot) com

    "Big" sounding preamps under 1k?

    Right now I have a peavey vmp-2 that I'll probably be selling. I like the sound I'm getting on it from guitars and bass, but on drums (kick and snare) it just wasn't fast enough for me. Didn't get a really good crack or a defining kick sound. I want to get a 'fat' sounding dual mono pre under...

    Characteristics of LA-2A/1176.

    These are both pretty damn classic compressors, but I'm wondering what characteristics they have. Do either of them shine on anything in particular? I don't have the real things (using a UAD-1) but everything I've used these on sound great. I love em.

    Rack tom sounding like a basketball.

    I have our drummer's rack tom miked up with a e609 silver running to soundcraft m pres. The sound I'm getting is less than desireable. I'm getting that 'bwong' basketball sound. I'm thinking about just rolling up some toilet paper and taping it to the head to calm it down a bit. Anybody have...

    Celestions at Guitar Center

    GC is selling celestions for $30. Has anybody picked any up? Are the new ones as good as the vintage? I have four stock fender (I'm assuming) speakers in my cab and I'm looking to upgrade and I don't know if this would be worth it or not so I thought I'd ask all y'alls opinions. And I...

    Routing to multiple busses?

    I was reading about a guy wanting to make a submix of the drums and use them to 'beef' up the normal mix and I was thinking of trying it out. So I was wondering, say I want two submixes of drums. I'm sending all of my drum tracks to my 'drum bus' and that out to my 'main bus.' Is there a way...

    How do I make a click track?

    I'm a midi moron. I have no idea what I'm doing. I want to make a click track out of say, a wav I have of a snare drum. How would I do that?

    Waves platinum for $350

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3710854458&category=41786 Just thought I'd share. If I hadn't just bought a UAD-1 I'd probably pick this up. Damn that's cheap.

    Mixing three guitars.

    So my latest project has three guitars. I'm wondering what I should do most of the time since the leads come and go on these songs. Say there's guitar 1, 2 and 3. I pan 1 hard L and 3 hard R since they have the rhythem and occasional small fills and such, and copy 2 and pan the tracks at...

    Boosting eq by cutting.

    So I've read and read about 'instead of boosting eq, cut the areas you don't want boosted then raise the overall volume.' Now my question is how do you cut the rest of the track? There's not exactly a 'roll off everything except the chosen frequency' to use. Do you just use a really wide Q...

    Recording in an "L" shaped room.

    So I'm about to record my band in our practice space. The thing is is that it's L shaped. I'm wondering where the best position will be to record things. Here's an example of how the drums are set up now: (yellow lines are doors, blue area is the drum set space, black lines are stairs) I'm...
