This from SlashDot.com. Would be interesting to see this applied to monitors. - Chris +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | New Loudspeaker Eliminates Distortive Influence | | from the boom-shake-the-room dept...

Hi, I just received my PS-02 Friday and I've been tinkering with it. It's excellent and very intuitive. I am having one problem though and I'd like to see what you guys think. It seems the unit may be especially sensitive to the "S" vocal sound. No matter what gain I have the unit set at or...

I thought this was a great article/overview of upcomming technologies and improvements in the computer world. I thought I would post the link here and see if anyone had some interesting or creative ideas on how these technologies will affect us home recordists. Analysis: 20 factors that will...

One of my viscious rabbid insane little rabbits chewed two good chunks out of my much too expensive Monster Cable. Now, the cable still works, however the chewing went down into the core and severed much of the wire inside. The silly question: Is this cable still okay to record with if I am...

I have a QY-70 from Yamaha and I like this unit a lot. Very easy to use, portable, etc. Only problem is I can't seem to get a drum sound out of it that I like. My main complaint is that the patchs seem to sound thin and often tinny. For instance I'd like a boomier bass drum. I've experimented...

Hi, I recently purchased a Audio Technica AT4033. I'd like to know if it's okay to keep this mic out and on its stand 24 hours a day, like I can with a Sure SM-57, or should I really be keeping it in its case when I am not using it? Thanks, Chris

Hi all, I've noticed in a few posts from time to time that someone suggests that one should be using a hardware mixer along with their DAW setup. What advantage is there to doing this? I have an Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 and I've been using the software mixer that comes with that and I've been...

Hi everyone, I am setting up a DAW studio space in my townhome. The room is essentially a loft with a window at the back and on the opposite side a stairwell with railing around it and doors to other rooms. It's also rather long and oddly shaped which raises some interesting questions, at least...

Hi everyone, I have an AKG C1000S running through Monster XLR into an ART Tube MP and then into my Tascam MKII 488. No problem except for this. In order to get the MPs clip light to even turn just barely red I have to crank the input level all the way up AND hit the +20 gain button. Then playing...

It seems something is seriously wrong with my Tascam 488mkii. When I play any tape, the speed of the drive motor operates very erratically. It just started doing this all of a sudden yesterday night. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong. Is the motor shot? I have had the unit on for about two...

Hi, I'm looking for a 2 channel compressor and have these two units in mind. The features on these seem pretty close to me. Though the Behringer is about $150 less. Because I don't know a heck of a lot about the finer points of compression yet, I was wondering if there were any opinions out...

I am currently running my mic (AKG c1000s) through a Pro-Co Mic Cable and an Art Tube Amp and into my portastudio. However, there is a ton of background noise being captured. It's not tape hiss either because I can hear it in the monitor/cue live. So it seems to me like cheap cable is probably...

I've been looking for a dealer on the Internet that carries the Crown D75 power amps but I haven't found even one. I've checked all of the major retails like 8thstreet.com, zzounds.com, and music123.com, but no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? BTW, I am looking to power a pair...
