Hi all. I have used Calkwalk for several years now. I've always used in the same way, to master stereo recordings of guitat. In other words, wave files. I know very little of the program's capabilities so for kicks this evening, I thought I should (finally) go through the tutorials. Btw, I...

Hi, I need a small PA system in the 100 watt class. This will not get a tremendous amount of use. Part of the time it will serve as a CD player in the backyard, etc. Oh, when I do use it for gigs, I play classical guitar. Anyway, has anybody heard of or had experience with a company called...

In another thread, electret capsules are discussed. One of the mics mentioned is the AT3035. It was my understanding that electret capsules don't require phantom power and yet my AT3035's do. What's the story here? Also, I noticed that the street prices for AT3035's aren't much different...

I just went to the Fostex site and it says there is an update for The MR-8. Version 1.2 is supposed to give better support for more brands of CF cards. The problem is that there is some backwards compatibility issues but I don't understand what they are saying. Has anyone else seen this...

A while back, I started a thread about my attempts at producing a small pre-amp to be used with my mini-disc recorder that had only a line input. After a fair amount of discussion and research, I produced the following pre-amp of which I was a little proud: :D...

I started a thread several months ago about live performance. This is something I haven't really done. I'm a classical guitarist and my needs are minor. I will be doing mainly weddings and other smaller venues. I have a Crate amp (the acoustic model) but there is no reverb. I'm currently...

Hi All, I record my own music almost exclusively and I'm faced with a small problem. I record to an MR-8 that actually sits behind me along with my preamp (a DMP-3). The problem I have is no visual indication of signal level when I'm playing as I face the other direction (I play calssical...

Hi, I've improved my recording chain to the point where my recording "studio" is showing its shortcomings. Namely that it's dead. There is nothing I can do about this in the short term (that is, if I want to stay married :rolleyes: ). As an alternative, I think I can help the issue by using...

Hi all, I was surfing Ebay while on vacation and found (and bought) a book published in 1955 on tube-type equipment. This is basically a book of schematics and directions starting with the basic and getting more advanced as the book progresses. It includes amps, pre-amps, radios and stereo...

I've had a busy time at work for the last couple of weeks so I didn't get around to reading it but there is a very good article (actually several) in a magazine called "EQ". It covers all the basics, how to choose, design etc. Oh, by the way, it's the April '04 issue. Regards, Steve Brown PS...

I happened to see a preview for some movie called "Soul Plane" (spare me! :eek: ). I have to wonder how much Marshall paid to put the V67G in there? :rolleyes: Just a heads up, Steve

I have 2 Marshall V67 mics. These are the black anodized mics that otherwise look very similar to the V67G. I have two questions. First, are they the same mic in different packaging? Second, I have been hearing some good things about these mics, but I wasn't overly impressed for what I was...

Hi, I have what I hope is not too stupid a question. I have noticed several references to "noise floor" in the last few days. I understand what it is but how does one "hear" it as mentioned elsewhere? Is it an underlying hiss (cassette tape-like) or is it a form of distortion to the signal...

I couple of weeks ago, there was a thread (or four) about homebrew mics. Quite by accident, I discovered a long out of print (I think) book in the local library. It is a history of the man who invented (what else) the microphone!!! No kidding. The man's name (and who we should all pay...

Hi, I usually hang out at the mic forum but I have an unusual mic preamp question. I purchased a Sony mini-disc player/recorder today. My intent was to recorder mp3's to listen as I run/jog...well...amble along anyway. I discovered when I read the instructions that there is a jack to record...
