I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong. I mic up my bag of broken glass and miscellaneous metal objects. I do a scratch track... everything sounds tits. But then on playback, there is an annoying sound like tubes going out on a modified Gorilla 4X12 stack. Kinda like wind chimes playing in a...

So how many are using ONLY the MR8 pre's? How many have upgraded, and to what? I've always used my Mackie 808m's pre's, but they are weak. In addition to having only 12v for phantom! Tax returns are coming, and I've managed to weasel a bit of money out of them from the boss...

I've been using both my 4/12 and my 1/12, the latter of which is in an ampeg VT160. I honesly can't tell which I prefer. I've spent so much time trying to critique my sloppy, nasty Peavey 4/12, that I'm not sure if I've polished this piece of shit, or if I actually prefer it... So what is...

Looking for a different/better flavor to spice up the 57 I have. I play mostly metal stuff, and am going to buy ONE of these after the 1st of the year. I've read where some find either/or irreplacable, and still others find either/or absolutely useless... If you vote "other", Please name and...

This was kinda inspired by "gunslinger" thread. Who has the most enviable/sought after guitar tone? I'm mostly curious about hardrock/metal/nu-metal/ACM distorted tones, but please feel free to name any who differ from this...

Unity on an MR8 fader would be? Centered? How does this translate to my little MR8 world? Fader/etc. thread I didn't want to chime in with the big guys... :o

I'm sure I knew at one time, vaguely, what this meant... I have an ampeg vt120. I would like to be able to take it from it's present output of 120w down to 60w for recording purposes. Let me detail the switchs/knobs on the back, because if anyone can give info on these they will be awarded 86...

Just got the drum set, heads were already on it. Didn't notice until I got back home that the floor toms' head has a pretty good wrinkle to it. It's not by any means tuned, so I wasn't sure if this "wrinkle" might work itself out, or if I need to take it off and put it on again...???? :confused:

What is the optimal way to hook up nearfields? My next two purchases are an audiophile 2496, so I can disable that dreadful onboard soundchip my dell has, (and a dmp3). Using the 2496, what's the best way to hook up my Yorkville ysm1p's?

What is required to record DI guitars? Do I need a POD, or a Behri simulator? Or can I run the output from my guitar into the line of my mackie? Just an off-handed thought I had. Maybe I could record one track DI to fill out my other miced tracks. I don't have the money for a pod, and I've...

Is it just me, or does search usually not work for you guys either? I keep getting "website not responding".... Well anyway, I bought a set of Sonor 503 series for $400 w/o cymbals, and now I need to figure out how to tune them. Someone once posted a link to a very helpful tutorial on this...

My last endeavor into making my recordings sound slightly better than crap, was the sm57/58 on my 4X12 cab, on different speakers but close enough to avoid phase difficulties. It has since been recommended to me to try a single 12. Has anybody tried close micing a single 12 with two mics...

Mackie, ppm series, 808m I'm trying to recall (and can't) what standard phantom power is rated at. My mackie 808m has 15v phantom... this doesn't seem right for some reason. Is it just me? I did try searching, but kept getting "website not responding". Also, how would I determine exactly...

Anybody use the footpedal? Anybody used a footpedal other than the one peddled by Fostex? I can't imagine that a normal ol' run of the mill temporary contact-type footpedal wouldn't work...but then again I'm cerebrally challenged in technical matters..... Anybody got anything for me...

I remember hearing a while back that stockpiles of fake shure mics were being found (and had been for some time) in China/elsewhere. I have a sm57 and a 58. I have tried them in identical posisitions. I've tried compensating for the grill of the 58 by moving the 57 away, and a thousand other...

Anyone have it yet? What are it's issues? Have ALL of the issues from 4.0 been fixed? I'm still waiting for them to smooth out the rough spots before I upgrade from 3.3... anxiously awaiting I should say... The eq and compressor sound interesting... :)

I've been trying to use a Boss MT-2 (metalzone) pedal, for the purpose of recording. It has been suggested that this pedal is less than desirable for this purpose. What distortion pedal/effects processor does everyone else use? I have a tube amp (ampeg vt120 w/sovtek's), but the distortion...

Sorry, I did a search and thought of resurrecting an old thread... but didn't Recording distorted guitar through a 4X12 w/ SM57. Cab is 3 ft. off of the floor. I've played with the mic positioning endlessly, from 1/2 inch off the grill, to 6 inches away. From centered on the cone, angled...

Besides the obvious, that the FD8 has an internal hard disc, what differences are there in these two units? I'd never really looked at the FD8 before, because of the price. It seems there are not a lot of differences other than the internal hard disc and "virtual" tracks... whatever those...

The less expensive the better (I know that is an illogical statement). I'm a guitar player, I suck at playing keyboard, but it'd be nice to have one around less than 50 years old like my other keyboards... Soooooooo.... If you HAD to buy a cheapy, whay would you buy? <$300 :o
