    TEAC A-150 Worth keeping?

    Hello Folks, Just got back from being away for two years (No I wasn't in prison or anything like that - although it did feel that way sometimes). Anyway, two years ago I bought a TEAC A-150 from a thrift store for $10.00. This is a cassette recorder/player with RCA jacks in the rear. Now I...

    Mixing Help?!?

    I took a mixing recording class about two years ago. Due to circumstances I have not been able to mix since and in a month or two I'll be able to mix again. Anyway, what I recall from two years ago is that I did a mix. (Used a MXL V67G > Mackie 1604 VLZ > Delta 44 > Computer Software ) The...

    What mixer do you have and which do you love?

    Just wondering what is the most popular analog mixer out there. Looking to buy a Mackie Onyx and wondering if I should just wait for something better. I currently have a small Yamaha MG10 and a Mackie 1604VLZ. I would like to go to the Mackie 1604 Onyx Mixer with the firewire card but want to...

    Onyx w/Firewire or Soundcard - Need Advice!

    Hello folks, I've been out of the loop for a while and I'm glad to see that the Delta 1010 has not gone out of style. I currently own one Delta 44 but I was looking at the Mackie 1640 Onyx w/Firewire card. I can only input four stereo channels in my Delta 44. According to Mackie the Onyx...

    V76t, Cardinal, V67i ?? What? What the heck is going on?

    OK! Yes, I have been out of commission for 23 1/2 months while I've been playing around with insurgents and mortars. Fine! However, does that mean the whole world has to go crazy! Common, at least I knew when someone was not speaking my language. Now I'm back and people are talking strange...

    Moving -- Any suggestions?

    Hey Folks, I'm on my way back to the U.S. after a two years in Iraq (Ok 23 consecutive months) and I've been out of the loop for a bit. I still see that new threads about the MXL, Marshal and other condensors are pretty much un-changed. Anyway, I am also moving from Tacoma to Fayetteville...

    Help Fixing an acoustic Guitar?!?!

    Okay, I just banged my precious acoustic guitar (against some furniture) and made a perfectly square hole on the bottom of the guitar (clear through). It's not the most expensive guitar in the world but for $600 it's the most expensive guitar I own. Any one know if there is a DIY on how to...

    Traveling Guitar???

    I've been looking around (I may end-up buying a cheap one from GC), to get an acoustic (nylon) guitar that I wouldn't mind if it got destroyed. Anyone, has any suggestions on a guitar that can handle a lot of travel? I'm looking to get a cheap thing ($200-$300).

    M-Audio 410 or MOTU 828??

    I've had M-Audio stuff, and I know that it's reliable. MOTU on the other hands I've heard some mix reviews. The biggest concern it has been with the support from MOTU. If you could get a MOTU 828 or an M-audio 410 for the same price, which one's would you guys go for? P.S. I posted this in...

    Firewire 410 or MOTU 828 Firewire?

    Monitors for mobile studio?!?!

    I'm working on getting some gear for a mobile recording set-up. I obviously do not want some big speakers (especially since I will be traveling via air-plane), nor heavy speakers. What is moderately good, small, and roughed? Price I was looking at $200 for the pair. I was considering the...

    Mics for rough enviorment!?

    I know what I'm going to hear. SM-57 or SM-58. So, besides the Shure mics I mentioned here (and my favorite dynamic Sennheiser E835), what mics would you guys recommend for say a hot, dusty enviorment? Price? Well, I'm looking at getting one mic for around $150, and this will be for mobile...

    Best laptop for Recording...Anyone?

    I'm looking at getting a laptop to get a mobile Project Studio. I really like the Toshiba Laptops, but I'm not too sure what if anything is anyone else using for mobile laptops. I know I could probably use anything, but I've always like the Toshiba. However, I ask because sometimes there are...

    M-Audio firewire or USB?

    I'm thinking of either getting a OMNI Studio USB (from E-bay) which comes with USB 1.1 or of getting a Firewire Solo. I like that the OMNI has two MIC preamps, and acts as a small mixer, but I'm not too thrilled about the USB 1.1, which brings the Firewire Solo into play. The Solo only has one...

    Mic cables Bulk ??

    I'm getting ready to purchase some bulk cables and I've some questions. Redco carries some 22 AWG Balanced Mic Cables and some 24 & 25 AWG Balanced braided shield cables. In addtion, there is the 24 AWG Quad Cable. I know that the 22 AWG will give me less Ohms of Resitance. However...

    JoeMeek or M-Audio Pre?

    Hello: I'm considering several options, and no I have not heard either the DMP3 or the ThreeQ pre-amp. However, between the DMP3 and the ThreeQ which one would you guys go for? I've heard the TwinQ but not the above two. I've read that the circuitry are basically the same on the TwinQ and...

    Cables from tape to Mixer?!?

    I have this old AIWA but the speakers out-put are those two (+)/(-) lock down connectors for each speaker (you know red & black). I was thinking of building my own cable (RCA or 1/4) but how do I make them? I was thinking using some cheap RCA cables and perhaps cutting one end, and plugging...

    Presonus Tube VS DMP3 Preamps!!

    Yeah! I know that the Presounus is a single mic Tube pre-amp and the M-Audio is a dual mic (Non-Tube) pre-amp. I guess my question, I've heard good things about the M-Audio. I have not heard anything about the Presonus. Has anyone tried either or both?
