I got this email from a friend, and I figured if anyone knew the solution, it'd be someone on this board. Any suggestions from the Home Recording folks out there? (email pasted below) -------------------------------------- I am wondering if you have an answer to a problem I have. I have been...

A quick question for the gurus out there... I recently picked up a mic headset to use for VOIP that is terminated to separate stereo 1/8" mic and speaker connections. Is it possible for me to use an 1/8" to 1/4" TRS adaptor, then a Female 1/8" to Male XLR adaptor such as the one below... and...

Anyone familiar or own one of the guitars made by Rick Kelly? I know he is based out of Carmine Street Guitars in NYC, and has built guitars for and is highly regarded by both Robert Quine (RIP) and Lou Reed (has been using 2 Rick Kelly telecasters on tour for the past several users). What...

Hello, can someone help a fellow musician that's new to the Home Recording world? I'm thinking of buying a control surface, specifically the Behringer BCF2000 or the Mackie Control Unit, and have a questions: 1) Is a soundcard w/MIDI required to use a control surface? Right now I am using an...

Hi- Does anyone know decent but cheap rehearsal spaces in the DC / No. VA area? Equipped (including drums) would be nice, but not completely necessary. Thanks, Ron

Been looking for semi-hollow body or hollow body recommendations for that late-60s early-70s proto-punk rhythm guitar sound w/occasional controlled feedback squalls. Have seen the Ibanez Artcore recommended, and I like the size (compared to a Gretsch, for example) but is there something a bit...

Should be an easy find, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for on any parts or auction site. I'm trying to replace the pickup selector knob on my 83 tele with the same Fender part. It is black and in the "rectangular top-hat shape", as opposed to the "round top-hat shape." I've only...

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried/purchased any Guyatone effects pedals and can comment on their experiences with them. Didn't come up with anything useful from the Forum search. Thanks.

Hello, I'm looking for a dynamic mic to add to my collection that will primarily be used for live and studio vocals and occasional micing of guitar or keyboard amps. What I have right now is a Shure SM57 and an Audio Technica AT4047. I've been researching and it seems like the SM7B and the...

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knew which synths were used by these bands, particularly on Air's "Moon Safari" and Stereolab's "Emperor Tomato Ketchup" and "Dots and Loops." Some great synth sounds on these albums... Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Ron

Anyone who's heard this 50s doo-wop throwback know the mic used to record Lou Reed's vocals? Thanks, RL.

Just a quick question- I'm thinking of upgrading the strings in my Tele to 0.10-0.46 gauge strings from the stock 0.09-0.042s. Before I give it a go, would this require any shaving of the nut to get the strings to fit? It is a Japanese 1968 Walnut body remake, if that helps... Thanks, Ron

Hi, I recently picked up a used 1981 Rickenbacker 4003 bass on eBay, however when it arrived 2 days ago I noticed a crack in the 9th fret inlay (sharktooth shape inlay, for those unfamiliar with the Ricks). I talked to the seller, and he agreed either to refund the bass or give a partial...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on this forum has had experience with the Cobalt XLR cables and/or the Canare Star Quad L-4E6S Cable (the Lava Cable Microphone Cable in this specific instance). I've read lots of great things about the Cobalt cables (ex...

Confused by the title? Let me clarify a bit. I have a 95 (?) Fender MIM strat that has served me well for the past 8 years, but has fallen along the wayside with the arrival of a Fender Custom Shop strat and a Gibson Les Paul Std. I would still like to use this guitar as somewhat of a project...

Hello, I'm trying to get these specific kinds of guitar sound- any advice on pickups/amps/guitars/effects for obtaining the following guitar sonics. I'd like to keep guitar purchases to a minimum; currently I have a 97 Fender Mexican Std. Strat and an 05 Les Paul Std. I'd like to work with a...

Right now, I have my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 computer speakers connected to one of 2 Amped Stereo Headphone Outs on My Omni Studio Box. Is the sound quality I am getting out of the speakers in any way reduced or coloured because of this setup? Also, is there any optimal setting for the headphone...

I know someone answered this before, but the search function is disabled of course for the time being... Simple question: What is the easiest way I can connect my Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers to my Omni I/O box? The speakers terminate into a single 1/8" stereo plug and the Omni I/O box has...

I'm not sure which forum this message is best for this message, so I decided to post it here. Moderators, feel free to move this to another forum if more appropriate... I'm looking for musicians of all types in the DC area with the following similar musical influences to just practice with and...

Can headphones be powered through the Delta 44's outputs unamped? The pair of headphones I would be using with the system are Ultrasone HFI-650 Trackmasters, which are rated at 75 ohm.
