    Gear dork alert! Drumulator + DX7. No midi allowed!

    Got both of these units in pristine condition recently and am having a blast. Oh, and I guess I lied a bit - midi is used to load patches to the DX7. But the tune is off the grid (and comes with a very, very stupid video): YouTube - ‪Rat Poison‬‏

    Mixing brands: monitors and subs

    I'm looking to add a sub to my setup. I'm tracking with KRK V4s, which are really swell, but they obviously lack bass. (although they will shock you with what ground they do cover.) Thing is, I feel a KRK 10" sub would be a bit of overkill. An 8" should do me considering my smallish room and...

    Echo Layla 3G 4 Sale

    Hello there, I've got a gently used Echo Layla 3G, purchased about three years ago from Musician's Fiend. Oh, I kid you, MF... I've been the sole owner. It's a super great card and it's never hiccuped once. I just threw down $1000 on a Focusrite Saffire 56 because I needed a more portable...

    Setting up external converters?

    Hi all, I've poked around a few sites and can't find a satisfactory answer to the sort of question only one with a unique and profound ignorance such as myself can muster. I currently record with and Echo Layla 3G, Seventh Circle pres, and a few really nice mics. In the steady gear-march...

    UAD-1: An Emotional Review Not Well Thought Out But Heartfelt

    Okay, I'll keep it short. If you don't have one of these things in your computer, stop what you're doing and go get one. If you don't have the money, go down by the pier and turn a few tricks or something. If you're up late at night trying to get your shitty mixes to sound better and you can't...

    Seventh Circle Audio success

    Today, I finished four SCA pres. www.seventhcircleaudio.com For anyone looking for top notch pres who is inclined to build them, my experience was nothing but positive. I started with zero knowledge - I'd never built anything, ever. No soldering - no electronics, no nothing. The kits are...

    Audio speed too slow

    Hello all. I recorded a live gig on a laptop using an echo indigo card with Tracktion to an external hard drive, which I belive is formated to FAT32 as opposed to the laptop - a windows XP machine. When playing back from the hardrive on the laptop everything sounds wonderful! But the time is...

    Leveling Amp Question (RNLA)

    I've got an RNLA. I like the flavor it adds to the signal. But it generates a curious fuzz when signal is present (like direct guitar). At first I thought it was broke. Then I did some research and concluded it's my own ignorance for not knowing how to use it. So I dialed up a stetting that...

    How To Mod a SP TB1

    I've got a SP TB1 that I'm not very fond of. But it wasn't very expensive and instead of e-baying it, I'm thinking of using it as a test dummy for me to break my mod cherry on. First up, replace the tube? Next step? I don't know. Any suggestions?

    Why is chinese a dirty word?

    The current state of this mic board begs the question? Are things "low end" by virtue of being made in China?

    Audio-Technica AT825

    I ordered a stereo AT825 and Sony hiMD minidisc player, (which records in 16 bit, 44.1!--for only $200.) to record ambient stuff and samples and so on. I got it a week ago. So I've been futzing around with the mic, recording various crap with it (not with the minidisc, mind you. RNP, RNC to...

    Wearing the right head gear

    I've found that when mixing various forms of music, wearing an appropriate hat while mastering really helps nail down the desired vibe. For instance, if its a swing band, I like to wear a fedora. Country music: cowboy hat. New age: hat made of twigs and aluminum foil. The material of the hat...

    Does the world add noise?

    Does the routine behavior of the Earth make noise? Is there a preset I can use to illiminate it from my mix?

    Dropped Mic

    I recall the event in slow motion...the mic stand slowly started to lean forward, entering a point of no return. "Noooooooo...," I moaned as I leaped forward. I was too late. The mic met the ground with a thud. The mic stand was set low, only about two and a half feet off the ground. A pop...

    Dokorder 7100

    I've posted several messages on this board seeking advice. Thanks for the help. Now, I'd like to official announce that I completely ignored all of that advice and bought a Dokorder 7100 off e-bay. I did a little research on the machines. Dokorder has been out of business forever, there are no...
