Another picture showing the inside of the connector more clearly.

I just managed to destroy my new z3300a microphone and I know pretty much nothing about electronics, soldering etc. I need help urgently. I was just ready to test a new mic position and started screwing the mic (no, not like that) until it kind of dissasembled. Then while struggling to...

Tommy Emmanuels album "Only" has by far the best acoustic guitar sound that has ever reached my brain. As you can see in this video, he uses multiple mics and he compresses pre-mix. Now most people advice against this because of phase issues and especially against the compression part. Others...

..No, like really, I did move into a cabin in the fringes of my home valley to see if I could come up with some musical ideas in guaranteed isolation. Weekend had finally arrived with its glorious opportunities for creation or rather reproduction of music running through my mind during the...

So I am obviously not the most practical of people. I was wondering if anyone has a good suggestion on how to lock a Boss pedal in the stomped position, if you know what I mean. The thing is my DD-3 has a hold function where the delay remains potentially forever. In order for this to engage you...

Any experience with this one? I've got an se2200a. Even though I like the sound of it, it seems way too noisy for me and my preamps are too good for a cheap chinese-made LDC. I don't have any experience with tube LDCs; what is the difference? I assume they have a warmer sound with less sibilance?

So I am pretty new to mixing and I thought I should upload something just to see what I need to work on. This is a pretty rough jam with myself and yes the drums are MIDI. As of yet I don't have a bass so I'm using an Electro Harmonix Octave Multiplexer pedal for my guitar along with some EQ...

So I wasn't sure where to put this. Feel free to move. These days I work with noise canceling headphones and I thought it would be good to spend that time (about 8 hours a day) learning about recording, sound physics and equipment. I recently discovered the Sound on Sound podcasts which are...

So I recently got a stereo pair SDCs but don't have any mic stands yet. I would like to record my acoustic guitar and was wondering if you see any problems with ducttaping them to my interface like this: ________ | .Comp. | ( / and \ = microphones ) \---------/ (Comp = laptop computer)...

I'm considering getting a couple of microphones as a headphone-deal went to the outskirts of bananaland. Yes that is a local expression :P Having read different threads here my choice is between a Neumann TLM103 or two Sennheiser MD421 mics. The Neumann would be more expensive than two (even...

So first of all, my first real interface is finally in the mail heading my direction! Will probably pick it up early next week. Needless to say I am overly excited! I have a couple of ideas for rhytmic bass-driven kind of reggae'ish songs where I want to use a djembe I got on a backpacker trip...

I just realised why stereo delays sound so good. "Phased thickening" of the sound at below 0.07ms or so delay time. The stereo aspect! Doh! Other than that, excellent article.

Hey guys, As mentioned in earlier threads, I am on the verge of buying an RME Fireface UFX which have two unbalanced headphone outputs. Quote from the manual: "These low impedance outputs of highest quality are able to drive headphones at higher levels undistorted, no matter if low or high...

Can a compressor with balanced XLR I-O's connect to a preamp TRS jack insert? Preamp insert: 1/4” TRS Phone Jack (Tip/Ring) @ 10dBV (316mVRMS) :o

Is there any way to monitor a preamp through headphones with no headphone input if it has the following outputs: --- Connector: XLR-3M and 1/4" TRS Phone Jacks Type: Impedance balanced (may be used unbalanced) Output Z Balanced: XLR: 66 ohms - TRS: 1200 ohms Output Z Unbalanced: XLR: 33...

I can't seem to find any information regarding whether or not it is preferable to get old gear, in this case an A/D converter (Apogee Trak 2) which is about 1/5 of the original price or if I should find new gear that cost approximately the same new as the used cost used. In my case the...

I'm using a EH Memory Man Hazarai in the multitap 1 sec mode with the current settings: - About 1/4 blend - Slightly falling successive repeats volume - In between high- and lowpass filter - Approximately 10-15 repeats - 0,6ms delay time (which is minimum) I kind of like this sound and so...

I can't seem to figure out which bitrate the following EH effect boxes have: - Octave Multiplexer - Metal Muff El Nano - Holy Grail Plus The manuals are silent on the matter. I know the Stereo Memory Man w/ Hazarai is 24 bit. I am planning to upgrade my setup in order to record at 24 bit...

I've spent the last 3 days trying to decide which preamp to buy and I'm almost going crazy about it. I was thinking about enhancing my guitar sound with it but I am already using a T-Rex Spindoctor to a H4n recorder. I am using a DI setup and want to continue doing that as my apartment doesn't...

Does it matter which pin goes into the power supply and which goes into my pedals? Do they have different polarities? I can't find any info on this and I don't want to break my pedals.
