I'm sure most folks have seen the original 1972 motion picture The Poseidon Adventure. In the beginning there is the scene where the band is warming up and the song is The Morning After sung by Renee Armand for Carol Lynley. So what was that funky flower vase shaped mic being used in that...

Just an idea I had. Members of this forum who own synths should attempt to write reviews of their instruments for the benefit and education of other members. Allowing they have the time on their hands.... The reasons: It helps your fellow members make educated purchases It's cool to see what...

This has been updated to MUST-HAVE status :D. Will pay good money for one.

For my wife's birthday last month I bought her a new Fender electric violin (FV-1). So, it was time to get her something better than her little Roland micro cube to play it through. At the local music store we spent a few hours checking out some acoustic amps - Roland, Crate, SWR and Fender. We...

I want to disfigure, dismember, crush and systematically destroy loops, synths, sound FX and the occasional dialog snippet. I don't want something pleasing for acoustic guitar, or tame and predictable for mastering. I want violence and aggression. :rolleyes: Which compressors fit this...

Going off of Chance's website. http://www.the-musicians-workshop.com/ Which to keep for next GB. Note: only 12 options allowed for polls so I left a couple out. Interest in any left out can be shown in postings in this thread. That 5th option should have been 6801/6802 not 6901 ;)

I'm gonna talk to a guy this evening about purchasing a pair of these off of him. I cannot find anything online that suggests a street price for them. Does anybody know what the value might be? I heard these are pretty nice units. It would be great to hear some opinions or reviews too. :) Thanks

I was trying to hunt down info on the AKG D-120 E and ran into this guys site and thought it might be of interest: http://verdeaudio.com/index.php?page=mikrofonit Talk about hard core DIY :eek: He mods, builds from scratch the whole enchilada - check out his ribbon mic. Neato!

I was thinking about using various speakers and mics to re-amp a mix. An extreme example would be to mic up the speakers for my Hammond organ and run the mix through it's amp. Or for a less drastic effect, use my monitors and various flavored mics. Has anybody done anything like this? What...

I'm such a cruel taskmaster, sticking my wife in front of mics for comparison on her birthday :D Initially I thought of making this a guessing game but in this case there wouldn't have been any challenge... Stock Oktava mk-219 http://www.somnium7.com/samples/Deb-Russian.wav Stock ACM-4 ribbon...

I already learned Stevie Nicks supposedly used one but that's about all the info I could find on this mic. There's almost nothing as far as reviews go. None of the local gear stores carry it - no suprise there really :rolleyes: So does anybody know first hand how well this works with female vocals?

This guitar has one small scratch on the bottom near where the cord plugs in. It was restrung last week and is in perfect playing condition. This instrument has tons of personality and is great for beginners or pros. The guitar by itself is $200. For $260 I'll throw in the padded gig bag and a...

Since many of us are getting or already have new ribbon mics I figured it might be helpful if there was a list of mic pres with enough gain for them. I read somewhere that a proper pre for ribbons should have at least 70dB of gain. Not sure if that is accurate but I am going to use it as the...

I am planning to buy a handful of different hardware compressors for various uses. Some advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here are the different tasks: Analog Bass Synthesizer Lead Synthesizer Vocals Bus insert/Mix Here is a little more detail. The Bass synth is a poly...

Yes it pays to be generous to your fellow bands. Not too long ago I wrote a short review of a band I found on MySpace and check it out - http://www.projekt.com/projekt/artist.asp?id=1048 Thanks to my generosity I get a little bit of marketing exposure from the website of a record label. Not...

I'm talking here about The Bongos http://www.myspace.com/thebongos The song is Numbers with Wings which unfortunately isn't on their Myspace page. What I want to know is how did they get that serious AIR in the recording? It sounds to me like a huge amount of brite reverb on the entire mix and...

You might say I have been working my butt off. :D Our new song Sculpture of Despair was ready for upload the same day I finished the bulk of the website work. A few things on the site may not be available. It's because I have built a members-only area which I want to test out for a few more...

I have to ask because I simply don't know. My experience in electronics design has been limited to microcontroller systems, Navy avionics and analog synthesizers so there is much that mystifies me with Pro Audio equipment. In this realm I see circuit topologies that I am unfamiliar with and I...

Anybody here tried the Bogen tube amps that go for cheap on Ebay? It is tempting to pick one up to use for a guitar amp. Also, I found a local place that is selling Bogen mic input transformers dirt cheap. I have looked at one up close and it seems like a nice quality unit. The model number on...

This isn't mine but I know the guy selling it because I repaired this instrument for him about a year ago. I thought I might try to help him get it sold. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200168591884 Watch the video it's pretty nicely done. The instrument is one of the very...
