Saw this on the RadioShack website while looking for a speaker level attenuator for my sub. http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F002%5F001%5F025%5F000&product%5Fid=930%2D0447 It's a speaker selector switch that fits in a single gang standard...

Drummer still needed? Hi Queue, I was wondering if you still needed a drummer. I would be interested in contributing (the online collaboration idea is VERY interesting!) If so, let me know.

I would definitely go with: 1 mic on kick 1 mic on snare 2 mics in stereo as overheads I've noticed that the overheads seem to pick up more of the mounted toms than the floor tom. You could also put a mic between two closely spaced toms and move or aim an overhead at the unmiced tom. I...

Hey Sam, try this: Click on the button corresponding to the channel you want to change (for example, click the C_Kick button) to get the channel's settings. Make sure the SMP button on the Channel settings box is pressed, then click the little folder icon that is underneath it. This will...

I am currently mixing my band's project and have a question about the way FX plugins work as inserts in Vegas. The songs are in the final stages of tweaking and I have noticed that the kick drum has consistantly too much low end energy. I mic'ed the kick with an EV868 and an SM57. Both mics...

I am going to do something I may regret: I am going to cover my kit with cloth! I have been contemplating it for a long time. I started by removing the original covering. The wood underneath looks ok (still does) but is not evenly colored. Some of the drum is a bit darker or lighter...

After much deliberation, I bought an EV868 about 1 year ago and love it! I have used it on my kit, along with some other people's stuff with much success - live and recorded. I play rock and have a 16"x22" kick that I play with two heads- small hole in front. I bought an internal mount (like...

Don't I know it! I want to move to Windows 2000, but can't because the GL 824 driver only supports single CPUs under 2000. If I go with Win 98, it won't use the second CPU. :( I'm basically stuck. Before GL went belly-up :mad:, they said that a WDM driver was in development and would...

I was looking at your PC specs - they are very similar to my set up. I am using a GL 824 interface - P3 933 (sometimes dual!), 7200 RPM ATA100 drive, running Windows NT with Vegas and a fistful of plugins. I have been working on a recording with my band. Most of the songs have 8 drum tracks...

I had a similar problem on my PC. It turned out that Win98 somehow turned off DMA access for my recording hard drive, along with my system drive. I'm using NT now so I couldn't remember the specifics on how to check it but I found this on the Net. Excerpted from...

Ptron, You may want to try your tapes in another player in order to record them into your computer. This is why I HATE cassette tape so much. A tape in one player may sound great but in another sounds like it's playing underwater! Experiment with several players if you have access to them...

I didn't know exactly what to put as a subject header for this question, but ... Have you ever noticed that commercial music sounds significantly different in stereo as opposed to mono. I'm not talking about ambience or stereo image, but actual high-frequency fidelity. It sounds like the high...

I didn't realize that there would be so much interest in this subject. I will post the sketches and scans of the layout tomorrow (Monday May 1) but the pics are still on hold. sb

Well, my D@MN scanner is crapping out on me and my digital cam won't work under NT (it's USB and, although I got a USB stack for NT, the Kodak drivers won't install!!). Very frustrating. :( When I am able to get my uncooperative peripherals back in line, I will post the stuff to my i-drive...
