    How to connect my old monitors?

    This little amp is exactly what you need. Don't worry about the power handling or about how small and "plastic-y" it looks like. It'll give you more than enough volume for monitoring purposes, and paired with a nice sounding pair of passive monitors, you're good to go. Best 50 bucks you'll ever...

    Interface as external preamp?

    Don't see why it won't work, but in anycase, just try it. Doesn't cost you anything :-)

    $5 craigslist Drum Mic ID Help

    For what it is, I think it sounds fantastic. Mix it a little more, and you got yourself a really nice drum sound for a ridiculous amount of money. My biggest surprise was that such a cheap set sounds this good. The mics are far less important than the actual drums played...

    Mics to avoid like the Plague

    I know many people like it, but I HATED the Apex 460. Rented it for a day, and it was hiss-crackle-pop city. May have been a bad tube in it or something, but the mic was useless.

    Can't get rid of a standing wave

    Hi Rick, First of all, thanks for your hard work! Second - I'm an idiot... I have no idea why I wrote 4X8 panels. What I made are four 2X4s and I have enough material for 4 more of those. Oops... Also, your suggestions are great, but unfortunately, not very practical in my case. The room has...

    Can't get rid of a standing wave

    Thanks for you reply. I'm not sure how to describe what happens in these frequencies - I don't hear anything resonating, it's more like they're "bouncing" of the walls. The metric dimensions of the room (without the closets) are 3.60X3.00, height is 2.45. closets are 115X65, and have this...

    Can't get rid of a standing wave

    I have a very problematic room, and I'm trying to tame it a little. As you can see, there are two built-in closets. There is a shelf in each of them about 3/4 of the height, making them basically useless as far as placing any traps in them. I built (so far) 4 4'X8' broadband panels, made with...

    How many drum mics do you record with

    Ok, now I'm intrigued... Do you plug them into a line input?

    Tricks for recording voice for use on telephones?

    That is true, I used to work in a studio that did a lot of these jobs, and we always down-sampled it to 8K. The thing is, you have to use decent sample-rate conversion software. I don't remember which one we used, but it was made by Waves. The difference between a deticated converter and...

    stereo mic with mini plug to pre amp or mixer?

    You'de actually want a splitter acable, to plug it into two mono channels. Otherwise, the whole stereo effect would be ruined... Note, that electret mics work much better if you feed them with a 9V current. I'm not sure about your specific mic, but try and see if you can somehow modify it to...

    mic for my mom?

    I haven't used it, but it sounds damn near perfect to me. In addition, Sound Professionals (i.e. Chris Carfagno) are wonderful when it comes to customer serivce and support, and their products are top quality. I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from from them. Oren

    Laptop Soundcard and preamp

    Ella, How, for the love of God, did you get the Duo to work??? I mean, I tried pretty much everything. I'm using one for two years almost, and it gave me nothing but pain and sorrow. I'm using its' S/PDIF out into a S/BLive digital in. Not the most stable setup, and its only 16/48.... Drivers...

    Boom Mic Suggestions

    Hmm... Just saw this... Yeah, of course you can use these to make you own stereo mic (whihc will only work with plug-in power or a battery box). I use these little capsules all the time for all sorts of things. However, if you don't mind mail ordering (and paying 90 cents or so more), you might...

    Got mine yesterday. It went straight to my car, and it will serve me well on the 2 hour drive planned for Sunday... Superb music.

    Mic Recommendations

    I have no idea about the MCA, but the 1006 is pretty damn good. The price, however, is pretty damn bad :D . You can get one at Musician's Friend for 50$ or so (under the name V63 or V57. same mic). If you think these two extra dynamics are worth 50$, go for it, but do you really have any use for...

    Finished Heavy Blues Rocker!

    Hey Axe, Nice chops there. The new mix sounds better to me, but than again, I'm listening on cans. I love that driving feel. It sounds just like being in a club. You really nailed it. Good one! Oren

    Acoutsic & Vocals

    A heavily EQed little electret mic mounted inside the guitar can give you a more than decent direct guitar sound. A feed from the built in mic, as well as a dynamic mic for vocals can get you a cool "lo-fi" sound if that's what you're after.
