Someone locally is selling an Avant CK-33 (might be meant to be Avantone, not sure)... It looks just like an Avantone CK-40. Does anyone know if these are t6he same beast? The CK-40 gets really good reviews, but I can find pretty much no info about whether the CK-33 and 40 are related. It's not...

I bought a used NT1-A... I used it once, seemed to work fine. Tried it again after a break of a couple of months, didnt go... Wasn't sure if it was user error with the interface or something, unscrewed it to see if any wores were broken or anything. Couldn't see anything so tried again. Now it...

This is something I've been wondering about and can't find an answer. People seem to love the CK40 stereo mic, but I see nothing about the CK6 cardioid or CK7 multi pattern. I'm kinda thinking they would be the mono equivalents, thus should be pretty good also. Anyone with knowledge of this...

I've been offered a Digi 002r in a soft-covered rack case with a behringer Ultragain ADA8000 in it too. For a price comparison, I could buy a new M-audio Fast track Pro 8x8 USB 2.0 new here in New Zealand... http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackUlt ra.html The digi got some nice...

Hi, I would appreciate some advice here, I am a penniless guitarist for a penniless but very talented singer songwriter. We are going to record some songs, it will not be pro by any stretch, but I want it to be as good as it can given the limitations. We can sell them cheap as 'bootleg' CD's at...

Ok, I've played guitar forever, I'm pretty accomplished but I'm not a gear head or tone freak kinda person. I've never even played through a tube amp, to my knowledge... most of my playing lately has been at home, recording into Logic, using Amplitube etc. But I do play live... in a kinda jazzy...

I'm recording a really good vocalist. she has an AKG mic (maybe a C 3000? looks like that anyway), and an audio buddy. I have 3 potential preamps: The ones in my old behringer mixer (pre 'xenyx' or whatever they called the newer ones), a powered behringer mixer we use for our duo when playing...

Hi, does this high/low thing mean anything in particular? i sometimes plug my guityar into the instrument input on a mixer, it goes into my computer and amplitube. I have bee told I'd never get a good sound like this coz the impedance is wrong (i think), but I have recorded some songs where...

Hi... Buying my son (I will get usage rights!!) a guitar for his 15th birthday. He would quite like an epi Les Paul (well of course he would like the real thing...). they seem to be available at about 3 price points, (in New Zealand) Around $400, Around $800, around $1200. I was thinking that...

I wonder if these might be something good... any opinions? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Music-instruments/Pro-Audio-DJ-Equipment/Microphones/auction-74304521.htm

One of these showed up in an online auction here, I know they are pretty new. Ive seen some talk about the 7000 and 8000, but has anyone tried on of these and have an opinion?? I wonder how they differ from the M179, just a little more money, not much... thanks

OK, here's a subtle variation of the "which cheap mic?" question... for male and maybe female vocals, and acoustic guitar. I am not in a position to try out many mics where I live. I have a pretty mellow voice, amatuer sounding rather than a real singer. alternative-ish. maybe needs an edge to...

I was about to get maybe an ADK Vienna... and maybe an EH preamp, but my budget disappeared... well shrunk anyway.. So I was wondering what would be better??? a more expensive mic (say the ADK, or a bit cheaper maybe an AT3035...) and keep using my very ordinary Behringer mixer for preamps. Or...

I have found an old AKG 707 mic, looking on AKG's website i found it in their dusty archives, described as an 'inexpensive general purpose PA and musicians microphone easily serviced'. Sounds appealing... anyone know anything about it? Just checking in case it turn out to be a rare collecters...

My son (13yrs) now has a hankering to play bass (I play guitar and keys). can't spend a fortune, usual story... but I'm looking at Squire and Ibanez models.. I have a feeling that for the money, the Ibanez maybe better than the Squire.. we are looking pretty much bottom off the range, which...
