    Fixing cable with soldering

    I have an a perfectly good cable that I've had sitting in my house for maybe 4 years now, as it died and was left by a friend of mine. I'm interested in buying my own soldering gun and learning how to solder. I have a bit of experience, but not too much. I checked the ends of each cable and all...

    Another drum critique thread

    Alright guys, I want you to listen to a sample of some drum recording. I know it's not very good, but I'm just wondering on ways to improve it (bit of compression, notch of EQ here and there, whatever). It has only been put together in Cool Edit, my board currently isn't setup for me to mix on...

    Apex 120, or 125?

    Alright, I know these aren't great mics by any means, but I'm very limited here and I don't want to shell out a ton of money on a D112 or Beta 52. These two mics are kick drum mics. My local store has the 120, so I'm just wondering if it's pretty much just as decent as the 125. Here are the...

    Wiring XLR connectors from RCAs

    Started from this thread: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=185197 Alright, so I want to take my snake which is 1/4" to male RCA and chop off the RCA to replace it with a XLR (only two cables from the snake though). I have done some searching online and am not totally sure on...

    Board to Soundcard issues

    Board to Soundcard issues (new idea....) I've posted about this kind of situation in the past, but here is another view: Setup: Mixer individual channel insert out (used as a direct out) via a snake to a Delta 1010lt. As you know, the first two inputs on the Delta have XLR ins. And no, I will...

    Another dead snake cable

    Just like the other thread, I had a problem with one of my snakes. It is a 1/4" to RCA snake and one of the RCAs busted off (the plastic is there, but the connector stuff inside came out). Is it fairly simple to buy a new jack and solder one on?

    Another channel repair thread

    Loose guitar jack

    My fiance's strat knockoff has this problem with the input jack where it comes loose after a while. Then I have to unscrew the plate and push the connector back out and screw the bolt thing back on. The cable doesn't come in and out of this thing much, it just happens after some use. Is there is...

    What key sig?

    I don't know enough theory to figure this out, though I did some searching with no luck. What key signature would this chord pattern be: C, E, Bb, G?

    How much for repair?

    Acoustic guitar neck cleaning

    I've been attempting to clean up the fretboard of my acoustic today, and just wanted to run this by you guys. I've attached some pics, for your reference. I've been using some lemon oil stuff and a cloth, scrubbing away at the neck...surprising how dirty it was. There is still quite a build up...

    Pickups dying?

    I have a Austin strat copy lying around my house I hardly play. I picked it up last night and plugged it into the cheap Crate amp and I got some weird results from some PUP combos. You know how normally the pup by the bridge is 'brighter' and the neck is 'darker'? Well At the bridge position --...

    What kind of desk would you build? (pics included)

    I apologize for the small size of the picture, I had to shrink it to fit it on here. Anyway, as you can see my current setup isn't very ideal for monitoring anything. I've wanted to build a desk for this sucker for a while, but I haven't got around to it really except drawing out ideas. As it...

    Setting levels between mixer and soundcard

    Okay, I have read up on these and am still a little confused. Basically I'm using an analog board where out 8 outputs run into my soundcard (Delta 1010lt). So I've read about how you should send a test tone through and set the levels. So I'd send a 1kHz tone through and have it go up to 0dB, but...

    Is this an intonation problem?

    There was a thread here not long ago which contained what I'm looking for, but I can't seem to find it. I also searched the net but I haven't found an answer to my problem yet. My problem is that on my acoustic on the high E string, frets 17 and 18 are the same note (A). I don't know if this...

    Help!

    Alright I have a mixer which I run into a Delta 1010lt. Usually never gives me any problems. Today I recorded a simple drum track through the first 4 channels. Upon playback I realized I wasn't getting channel 3 and 4. As a test, I took one track and set it on all 8 channels of the Delta and...

    Anyone know anything about this?

    Sorry I always seem to make this kind of posts. This one is gonna be a tricky one, but I'm trying to find any information on my acoustic. I've had it for about a year now and I find it a pretty decent guitar. It's an acoustic, that says "Minstrel" on the headstock (I can get some pics later if...

    Apex 415, thoughts?

    I've done searches, but I mostly only find stuff on the 460. These mics are easy to come by because I'm in Canada. I did a search a long time ago and I found nothing, so I'm surprised to see all these posts about it now. I don't want to spend too much on a mic, and my local music store has the...
