    Measuring Frequency Response of Nearfield Monitors.

    Been working on the system response. Playing with crossover points, phase and a little EQ, you can see it's much better than the previous graph I posted. The dip centered around 300hz is room dimensions (I believe) which I can't really do anything about. Measurements were taken within approx...

    Measuring Frequency Response of Nearfield Monitors.

    Just out of passing curiosity, I was wondering if anyone has done this? Spec sheets are all fine and such but, what kind of response do you get once they are in place and you're listening to them? I bet one would be surprised at the frequency response one gets at their listening position.

    Which MIDI controller for a noob???

    I am in the market for a small, inexpensive MIDI controller and am not sure about which one of these may be better (or some other) at the $100.00 price point. Of the two I am looking at are the M-Audio Oxygen 25 MK3 and the Akai MPK Mini Laptop. I am inclined to get the Akai because, I...

    I need professional help ...aka "The Dead Mixer Conundrum"

    I've been using, essentially, Tweekheadz Rig #3 (albeit a bit better than what he suggests) for the last 5 years and my mixer's PSU just went out. It's a Soundcraft Spirit E8. No band here (just myself) so, this setup is just fine for my needs. I have been looking at different options and...

    Stupid computer question time

    I have read on hear in the past where it's better to have a dedicated DAW as opposed to using the same computer for everything. To that end, I used my old computer as a dedicated DAW. It's old and only 1.6ghz processor and 1gb ram. M Audio 2496 card which is enough as I only record myself...

    Looking for some general feedback

    I just picked up a Korg 01/w Pro. I'm just wondering if it any good. Mostly I play guitar and I'm not that much up on these. If you have played one, let me know what you thought of it and what do you think they are worth. I'll let you know later what I gave for it. Thanks.

    Pot replacement on Alesis

    I have an old Midiverb III I would like to replace the pots on. I know that normally it probably isn't worth doing on the old thing but for what I have into it (zero $), why not. Would anyone know the values on these pots? And if they are audio or linear taper? Thanks all.

    which type cable????

    Total MIDI noob here. I'm looking to connect my keyboard to my computer. I use a M-Audio 2496 card for my normal interface which also has MIDI in/out. The question is should I get MIDI cords w/ DIN plugs on each end and connect to the M-Audio card or get a USB/MIDI cable?

    Acoustic amplification

    As one would expect, Plugging my acoustic into my Peavey Bandit combo sounds like crap. Would a speaker change help this or is the reason in the amp/preamp section? And yes, I used the clean channel and both low and high gain inputs. No matter what I turned in the Clean or Master section, not...

    ART TPS II vs. Behringer T1953 Tube Ultragain

    Being comparable in price, what would be the better of the 2. I'm getting rid of my mixer and want to go straight from one of these into the DAW. Edit: I guess I should say, when asking "what would be the better of the 2", I'm referring to reliability and quality. They both look to have...
