I would have gladly taken the deal... but not rain on my wedding day ;)

Alright people... here's the deal: I was doing a festival this past weekend. Eight bands, 10,000 watts, two days... nothing new. UNTIL... this monsoon comes up out of nowhere. To make a long story short, the rigging wasn't done well (not by my company) and the tarps covering much of the...

A friend of a friend owns a large computerized machine shop. The bigger question is where to get the best price on a blank rack chassis to have punched Brad

Working on a little project… I’m taking a channel strip from a Soundcraft TS12, taking it apart, and rackmounting the preamp and eq section. Does anyone know where I can get a good price on an empty rackmount chassis to be machined? Brad

Hey Ed... I never said any sampling rate will do. What you're hearing has nothing to do with the difference in sampling rate. The truth is it's just hard to do anything 48,000 times a second at perfect intervals. If I had time like that, I'd be more of a musician and less of an engineer!!! I...

Thanks for the compliments on the site. I’d look for at least a decent mic. Something like a Shure SM57. Less than a hundred bucks and it’ll last if you take care of it. Somebody will probably recommend you buy one of the new whizbang mics on the market. Remind them that you don’t have...

Ed, your point is well noted. I have noticed a big difference in the audio quality between 16 and 20 bit converters. However, it has little or nothing to do with the resolution. Judging from the little I have read and heard, I am much more inclined to believe that these are results of clock...

Does comp refer to a computer? You said you don’t have a laptop… Do you have a desktop you could mix on after recording in that room? That would get you more tracks to work with w/out generation loss. If you just want to transfer the tracks one at a time, you just need a decent A/D...

To create the sort of stereo field you’re trying to achieve, you need two distinct sounds. Whether you’re multing, double tracking, etc, simply depends on exactly how you want the sound spread out into that physical space. You can mult the guitars, but you would have to effect one or both...

Good call Ed. It may be worth noting that what the bit rate does actually effect is the dynamic range of the medium. The dynamic range is roughly figured as 6 times the bit-rate. This is because your resolution is dependant on that amount of binary storage space you allocate for value...

It just depends on where you rate good on the scale. That’s kind of like asking me to point out the black and white from shades of gray. If it were only my opinion, I would tell you to take it with a grain of salt… on the other hand I have heard this from various people within the company (not...

Presonus no longer uses Jensen transformers. I'm not sure exactly why. I have a friend who works for them here in Baton Rouge. I've been meaning to ask him. Anyone that tells you PreSonus pre's are crap never listened to any of their older units. That's where I would start mods, rather...

The MPX1 is great. I also like the SPX90 (Yamaha). You can find both used for pretty reasonable prices. As far as the Lexicon thing, I would argue much to the opposite of your suggestion. Their newer stuff is amazing at that price point. The MPX100 is hands down a better processor than...
