Does anyone know how Ray achieved that mysterious sounding organ sound on the intro to The Unknown Solder by the Doors? I don't have an organ myself, but I've always wondered if it was just "studio magic". There is a live version and it's just a guitar doing the intro with drums, so I dunno if...

Hey guys, you know this product: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--HOSDOC10?trk=smx, right? You know, turns inserts into direct outs and all? I'm not sure if we have any of those cables around here locally, so besides ordering, are there any other brands that make the same type of cable...

I have some tape residue on my board from when I took it out for a week during the summer with my youth band while on a little "tour" I guess you could say. Anyways, the tape marking the channels has left residue on my board and it doesn't seem to wanna come off very easily, so do you guys any...

Does anyone have experience with Apex mics? I can't find a ton of information on them. A local shop sells them fairly cheap (and Shure fairly...expensive). I'm the process of eventually buying mics and whatnot, but not right away. I don't need pro sound quality, I'm not very picky, just...

Okay, I haven't been on this site in so long, but now that I have a part time job, and some cash coming in, I can seriously start figuring out my setup. Now mind you, I'm only 17 and don't need anything overally fancy. I have a 16 channel Audiopro board (old one from the 80s, Yorkville doesn't...

Been a while since I've been on here, so hey to everyone again. I recently came back from a week tour with my youth band out to the east coast in Canada. We used my good old AudioPro 16-S board and rented a Yorkville power amp and monitors (used as speakers). Monitors were not a big neccesity...

Okay, couple months ago my church was given a free amp, we used it for a bit and our bassist shot it, so we didn't use it for the longest time. Now, I (the drummer) brought it home a couple days ago. It's an old amp from the 1970s that Yorkville used to make called "Sonax". All I know is that...

Okay, I have a 1,000 word essay on copyright laws for CDs, tapes, videos, etc due tomorrow. I have stuff on CDs and a bit on videos, but I'm stuck on cassette tapes. I've been searching the net for a couple days and scraping up some stuff but right now my head is killing me and I am having a lot...

Ok, I've posted this before, except now I've actually tried it. I'm trying to patch a BBE Sonic Maximizer (no, I will not use it as a doorstop! lol). My Audiopro board has 2 effect outs and returns. I now it works properly, because the guy who sold it to me hooked up a guitar reverb pedal. But...

This isn't much a problem because I don't do this often, but sometimes I run my MiniDisc (it's uh, a Sony walkman, I forget the model now, but it's a piece of shit in my opinion) through my board (Audiopro 16-S) and it makes it sound really crappy. Like bassy, etc. I've run it through my other...

This something I've always wondered. People will also say things like "I cut 250-500 Hz" etc. I know what that means, but with my EG knobs on my board I dunno what's what. I know my example is like the lower frequencies... My board has the following EQ: hi, hi mid, mid, tune and lo. It's not...

Ok, I haven't been doing a lot of recording lately because I'm tired of setting up cheap 'Shack mics to my drums and keeping a crappy sound, so I plan to eventually, you know, buy some decent mics, a good soundcard, etc. Anyway, I've been sort of pondering over how you guys record. What I've...

I was going to a hospital this morning and my aunt was driving us. Her step-son is the one who sold me my 16-track Audiopro board. Anyway, she handed me back these cables and told me that he was giving them to me. It's sort of strange. Basically there is a thick gray covering and at one end 3...

Ok, I have this BBE processor (yes I know, I've told to use it as a door stopper, to put drinks on it, and avoid it like the plague). I currently run the outs of my Audiopro into it, and then from the BBE to my receiver to the soundcard. Now, I know the signal has a lot of travelling to do, in I...

Hey, I was wondering how much ... well, let's use a Shure SM57 for example. How much is it where you are? A local store here sells them for nearly 200 bucks (like with tax it'd be). But in the States you see the prices at around 70. Now, I know there is an exchange rate between the 2 countries...

I'm not really sure how bassists figure this out, I'm a drummer, so it's not really my area of knowledge. Basically I have a few chords for a ska riff, just a very simple pattern that goes something like this: e - x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 5 x 5 x 7 x 7 b - x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 6 x 6 x 8 x 8 g - x 9 x 9...

When I record my drums I have to set all the volumes low because when I do something like a snare fill it tends to hit 0 and be a brickwall. And I'm not a very hard hitter either. So I have to set them low and then boost it on Cool Edit. Is there some better way of doing this? Like... I don't...

This sort of guys with my other thread from today but not really. My Audiopro board has 2 Monitor outs, 2 sub outs and one main out. The 2 subs seem to be the main outs, but I haven't the slightest clue what the monitor outs are for except maybe speakers? The outs you can choose between XLR and...

I've been racking my brain for a while this morning thinking logically of working with direct outs to soundcards etc. Now I posted something like this before but I'll try explain it a bit better. I have a 16 channel Audiopro board with 8 direct outs (it says pre outs, same thing?). Here is a...

I have 2 mixers, a Behringer 802a and an 16 ch. AudioPro board from the 80s I assume. Anyway, starting last night the AudioPro board has been buzzing like mad. I took out all the connections except the plug, put in headphones in the headphone jack and turned it up some and it was still buzzing...
