So have any of you picked up some of these yet? I've got a real burning desire for a pair of these little guys. It appears that will be releasing a powered set shortly with a 40 watt amp for around 150 bucks more bringing them up to 350 clams. Not sure if I'll go that route or not. I have a...

I'm looking to get a sound on my bass close to that of the begining to the tune off of Rush's Farewell to Kings, Cygnus X-1. The snappy wicked thick crunch there is just smokin'. It's more of nice grinding tone that is very well defined & not washed out by major distortion. I read somewhere that...

I recently conducted a small mic comparison with several different chromatic harmonicas. The mics are kinda not what I would have liked to have but they'll do for now until I get my close-miked session underway. My first time doing this, so go easy. This really is alot of work and now I have a...

I just got done doing some tracking for two girls doing a duet type broadway style tune using the same mic and discovered that the one girl just sounded sonically better than the other. I was a using a Rode K2 midway between cardioid and omni working fairly close (8"-10") going to Onyx preamp...

I have an opportunity to record a pianist using a baby grand playing classical style music and need some suggestions. I realize that there are many different methods to miking a piano but I'll probably have 1 or 2 takes to get it right so I want to get a decent recording. I'll be using Mackie...

Where's the cheapest place for a shock mount for the Oktava MK012 (or equiv.) Because we all the know that the original shock mount for it is an absolute disgrace. Is there anything out there cheaper than 45.00 bucks, or is that it? http://www.oktavausa.com/spider-mk012sm.html

A promising looking little field recorder by zoom is due to be released in October. http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1901&brandID=4 So far it looks pretty nice and cheap too - 300.00? Quasi xlr / 1/4 inputs, it's about time someone did that, nice 1/4" line input, SD...

For the adat guys, does anyone have of these units or know of a good review of it somewhere? I wonder if there has been general performance improvements over the Firepod since this is a newer model. I know there are wall to wall inserts now on this unit . Pretty good solutions catering to the...

Those of you who compress your bass in a stomp box, what do you use? I',m looking to upgrade my Tech 21 Bass Compactor. It's a bit noisy & I'd like another output out of it (for live flexibilities). I use this inline with a Sansamp Bass driver (which is great) I haven't tried out any other units...

I just ordered some of these in-ear phones & should be recieving them Monday. I bought them mainly for PDA when working out at the gym and hopefully for when riding my motorcycle (hope they stay put from the wind, no helmet at high speeds ) Anyway, I always like to double-duty stuff so I know...

I hear real good things about both of these tube / SS preamps. When you really get down to it they have practically the same features but with a 500.00 dollar difference. I bet Alan Hyatt had a 2BA-221 sitting right next to him when he was laying the VTB1 out, cutting corners here and there...

Hercules mic stands reviews? Has any here tried out these new mic stands my Hercules? They look pretty beefy. I'm considering buying a couple of them. http://www.herculesstands.com/mics/micstands.html

I'm trying to decide between 2 pc interfaces, the MOTU 828 MK2 and the Mackie Onyx 400F. Both seem to be very nice units with a good amount of reviews & reputation. I really like the adat provision, onboard metering & flexible signal routing of the MOTU while I also like the touted quality of...

I was just looking at this kit and it looks totally doable to me. I have a fair amount of soldering experience and as a draftsman I'm quite used to looking at drawings. This kit to me looks like an easy way to save 200 bucks on what I've heard to be a really nice pair of preamps. What do you...
