    New rehearsal PA - Avoiding Feedback?

    Hey everyone. I just got a new PA for my band's rehearsal space. The room is small, and we're loud, roughly 14x18 feet. So we bought a pair of Mackie SRM-450 active speakers. VERY nice, very clear, but I can't even crank them without that disgusting, frightening, horrible feedback that we all...

    Live Condenser Suggestions?

    Hey everyone. I've been a die hard fan of the Shure Beta 58 for a while but after recording with a couple of new vocal mics, I really have found that my voice shines on a more neutral sounding, slightly midrangy mic. To note, I use my Blue Baby Bottle in studio and get amazing results with my...

    Rack unit with a killer piano sound, anyone?

    Okay, heres the deal... about 5 years back I bought a Korg Triton thinking it would cover all my needs as far as live performances go. Now, after time has passed and my musical tastes/needs have changed, I have found it to be quite a let down. My main gripe is that it only has 61 keys. The...

    Analog Levels and Digital Levels, where do they meet?

    Hey everyone. I've been rereading a lot of books and articles online about the fundamentals of audio i.e. wave properties, phase, distortion, etc. Just trying to make sure that if there was anything I skipped a couple years back when I was starting out, I learn it now.
