I didn't realize how much of a difference the reso heads make in sound. I've had Evans EC2 batter heads on my drums (except for kick) since I bought them, but crap factory resos until now. The difference is WAY more noticeable than I thought or had read it would be. EC resos on the toms, hazy...

I have bad-mouthed Epi's sometimes based on my experience with them. I take some of it back. I recently sold a 1965 original Harmony Rocket nice condition (and I'd had it since '85/86 or so) to make room for a new "on-the-fly" practice guitar. So I saw this GC flame sunburst version of the...

I haven't turned the machine on for about 2 years and it was working fine last time it was on. Turned it on today to take photos for Ghost's wallpaper renderings, and it did not play forward or fast forward. I manually turned the reels and they seemed a little tight. Then I noticed the pinch...

Yeah, it ain't so pretty, especially as I have the GoBos standing on my messy deck, but just finished the frames at almost 2:00 in the morning on Friday night. Simple 1x4" pine stained with fabric-wrapped 703 panels fitted tightly on the inside of each. I didn't do reflective on the back or...

I've seen some clips on gearslutz, but surprisingly just talk on HR, not a lot of comparison clips. Well, here you go .....see if you can guess which is which and what is what. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=244666&content=songinfo&songID=6534441...

I appreciate everyone's help and objective criticism on the first dry drum sample. Experience is the only way to get better at recording, and I've tried to address most of the comments I received. Here is the link to a new take...

I hate to double post, but I'm gonna. Several hours later, mind you. I was really looking for a "micing technique" forum here, but no luck so here is what I'm looking for opinions on. http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=6500733&q=hi Now this is dry as dry can get, and in the...

Well, the room-within-a-room (one room, treated, tracking and mixing) is complete, got the mics I'm working with for now anyway, used the "two sticks" method for the overheads L/R (omnis) with additional dynamics on snare and kick. Let me know where I need to go from here or what I need to...

Maybe this should go in the Other Equipment forum, but I wasn't sure. I have some extra unbalanced cables with TS tips I was using to wire my DM Pro kit into my board. DM Pro kit was sold to buy an acoustic kit, so I have extra cables not doing much. My question is, would these be suitable...

So the IRS owes me a couple of hundred dollars it looks like. If I can get $200 of it from the wife, what do you think about ceiling absorption vs. floor absorption? By meticulously reading and asking questions here, my tracking/mixing room (room-within-a-room, treated inside with Auralex and...

Here is a photo of the engraved logo(sorry...see next post down). Three dots version, but notice the Arabic symbol in the lower right of the Arabic engraving does not "hook" like other logos I've seen. No ink lettering on it, but the set is very thin feeling in weight compared to my ZBT rock...

I have a buddy of mine who may join here, I've pointed him to the site, but who just got a Roland Phantom workstation. He has Pro Tools, not sure which version, but I digress. I track to an HD24 through a board, so this is not my territory and thought I would ask you kind folks his...

I ran the playback, obviously, when I received it in the mail via an ebay purchase, bttut anything else I should be doing at this point for mintenance? Remember, I'm not too sharp at this and am a total newbie as far as reels:o:o

The DM Pro kit I've been using for about 4 years got traded to GC this weekend as part of an overall deal for PDP FS kit. I'm obviously new to tuning and will begin to learn that art. I bought some evans ringers for the drums for now, and will look at Evans EC2 coated heads for the toms at...

Disclaimer: The following is based on my experience and may vary by location. So a couple of months ago I called my local SPI. The saleman told me the procedure was to send a Purchase Order for what I wanted. I talked with him to find out what product was available and how many per package...

Yes. I just heard it like I've never heard before tonight in a simple drum test through the monitors. I have an electronic drum kit, so I'm setting levels and EQ for each component through the pres (all older Joemeek...they do wonders for the DM Pro kit, thus I use them on all six output...

Everything still works, let the tubes warm for a couple of hours before playing through it. I really forgot how good a Marshall sounds. Just an Ooomph and tonal power that is incredible. Played it through my strat in the new studio. Think I'll break out the LP and give another go around...

I finally finished my little project I started last summer, minus a few more interconnects of cable. One room recording and mixing, 12'x13'-6" interior, decoupled walls and floated floor. I still need two more bass traps for the back corner and foam on the back wall, but here is what it turned...

Well, I've got an initial wireup, at least of the DM Pro drum kit, set at levels of an acoustic kit, and not bad on transmission. If you have followed my progress of building my recording chamber, you'll know that I did a double-inner-decouple-wall system, floated a concrete floor, but left the...

I have a DM Pro drum module that I'm running each of the six outputs through Joemeek pres and a compressor (MQ3, VC3, and MC2). Four inputs, two of the DM Pro outs are going straight into the Mackie 8 bus pres. I have about 20' of cable run, angles included, to get to the board. My preamp...
