I really hate to get rid of these, but the truth is, I just don't have the time to work on recording like I wanted to. I have litterally used these once and only for about an hour. They have been in their original boxes the rest of the time. Here is the description from zZound.com (note that I...

I'm trying to understand their use. Should I be able to run my guitar through one of their pre's I could run the output into the power section of a solid state amp to get a different/better tone? What other applications are there or did I totally miss the idea and this isn't even a proper...

I was thinking about plugging in my Tascam 122 into my USB for power, then plugging in a streo pair of condensor mics and trying to route the Audio into my old Tascam 488 to get a few extra mic pres. Anyone know if this will work?

So this is actually related to an old Hammond L103 I scored for cheap, but the circuit ideas should be the same as guitar amps . . . .so heres the question....or rather questions. When I fire her up, not all of the tubes glow. Is it normal for tubes to not glow or does that indicate a problem...

I've been considering going into electrical engineering and I daydream a lot . . . so I was thinking about a senior project and I wonder if this has been done, or if this is a stupid idea. An amp that features a tube preamp and a solid state preamp along with the same options in the power...

For Sale: Behringer Multigate Pro - Never used. From the MF webpage "The Behringer XR4400 Multigate Pro Quad Expander/Gate combines 4 frequency-selective expanders/noise gates in a single rackspace. Suppresses noise during quiet passages and reduces crosstalk between mics. Features extremely...

Ok two questions for you all . . . 1. Does anyone know the approximate price I could/should get for selling a good condition Peavey Studio Chorus 70? I know Peavey gets a bad rep sometimes, but the little bit of research I've done on this amp says it's actually a pretty nice amp. I like it...

Hey everyone. I'm completely new to the world of hammond. I picked up an L-103 for $40. I'm stoked right! But now to the task of getting her to really sing again. It starts up and plays ok, but several drawbars are not generating tone. (I hope I'm using the correct verbage.) In other words, when...

Has anyone tried running a guitar through the amplification section of an old Hammond Organ? I'm not just talking about pushing it through a Leslie. I mean through the organ's tubes and such. Is it even possible? Just a thought. Thanks.

As I am new-ish to electric guitars and to understanding the nuances of tubes vs. SS amps I am going to ask what may be a very dumb question. I was given an old Peavey Studio Chorus 70 amp. It's solid state with two channels. Anyway, I was mucking around with the "lead" channel and I stumbled...

I pulled my 488mkii today to work on some new tracks (obviously right?) Ok, so channel one's preamp is fucked. I'm not sure if it's from the shipping or if it just died. I ran the same mic and cable through channel two with all the same settings and worked great. So I know it's the pre. Any...

This may be a dumb question . . . but if I want to use the mixer section of a Tascam 388 with condensor mic, I could use an external phantom power source. My main concern is; do these introduce additional noise or alter the tone in any way? Thanks for your help. Nate

Ok, do I have your attention? This really isn't a recording post, and I fear it may get moved, but . . . . anyway. I'm posting this here because I feel more at "home" here than anywhere else. Lately I've been having a bit of an identity crisis and thought you might all be able to help. Most of...

I can't claim the photo . . . but the poster and caption is mine. Hope you smiled.

I'm working on a beat-oriented instrumental piece. At some point I want to slowly add distortion to the drum beat. I was thinking about using the effects send/rec but i worry that "dry" signal will still be present. Do any of you have any thoughts on how to slowly add distortion to a track once...

What are your thoughts on pre packaged acoustics kits like this? http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Primacoustic-Broadway-Room-Kit-10X12-Room?sku=482847 Thanks for your help.

Ok, so I live in military base housing. So screwing, bolting, and modifying anything is pretty much out. I'm thinking of building some GOBOs to try to set up my garage to be a decent live room AND controll room. I know that having them mixed is not ideal. However, in my housing situation as well...

I am super curious what each of you use for your PREFERRED recording medium. I am just as curious as to WHY you pick that medium. So, lets keep it civil, but let's have it. Why are you a member of Analogaholics Anonymous or why are you Die Hard Digital? I'll refrain from answering just yet...

So I'm starting to shop for a relatively inexpensive analog delay. I've listed four that are not outrageously expensive. Please tell me why you pick the one you do. Obviously tone is one of the top priority, followed by delay time, then features. I'm not opposed to buying used (which is the only...

So I know you all hate it (as do I) when people say "how do I sound like 'insert famous band with huge budget here.'" But I do wonder about how you chose where you are going to START with compression. You know, do you start at a specific ratio when you are recording acoustic and then alter it as...
