    IEM Question

    You know.....that's not a bad idea. I'll look into that. Perhaps we can buy one and bring it to rehearsal each time. Maybe there's one can that be folded up and transported easily. Or maybe we could make one. Or maybe we can just store one at the rehearsal studio. I've never played live...

    Violin sound.

    Ok....I give up. Was trying to ask a question about IEM's in this thread called "Gear Reviews and Questions" and my posts keep getting bumped by a long running discussion about learning violin and garden work. Ok.....I'm being unreasonable. I know it. Sorry. But you have to...

    IEM Question

    Hi Guy........welcome! Yeah.....seems to be a common rehearsal space problem. I neglected to mention that our drummer wears earplugs (because he already has tinnitus) that lower the sound by about 15db. They're just run of the mill foam types. He does realize that they make the sound muddy...

    IEM Question

    Hey spantini......you got it. The drummer is loud and even though the band trys to start the rehearsal out at a low volume....the volume quickly creeps up. It becomes a giant squall of sound that overpowers the ability to clearly hear tones and dynamics....not to mention that it over powers...

    IEM Question

    I'm thinking of rigging up a system for the practice studio only for me only. A good mic in the middle of the room (or wherever it sounds best)...plugged into a small mixer/amp that I can wirlelessly send to wireless closed back headphones with good isolation or some wireless IEM's. Seems like...

    IEM Question

    Yup...believe it or not that works great. I have a setup like that at home for my musical friends and band mates. I live in a neighborhood that isn't good for live band practice. Here's my setup. I use an old Tascam DP-24 as a mixer....since I had one I used to record with before. 8 inputs...

    IEM Question

    Hey spantini...thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it. I've tried no less than 9 different hearing protection plugs for musicians and others. None of them get anywhere near a "balanced" sound blocking. A couple are a bit better....but not by much. All of them reduce the levels...

    IEM Question

    I've been trying to find ear plugs for use at band practice. I've tried MANY....all for professional musicians....even a custom set....but they all do the same thing. They do cut down the db's and some are better than others at maintaining fidelity across the frequencies but let's face...

    Finding the right vocal presets and effects to record myself with

    Hey...welcome! We need a bit more to help you out. Tell us what equipment you are using (mic...tape....Audio Interface...DAW...whatever) and maybe some of the settings you use. We can take a look at them online and see what they can do and how to use them. Also...and this is important....we...

    Need Help with Choosing Components for Audio PC

    Hello Tym...and welcome to the forum! What you've outlined will certainly work...but I have a couple questions. Personally I think it could be a bit of overkill but we don't really know what your overall goal is. Are you planning to have a bussiness or is this for personal use? Why not an...

    Is there any way to make my low-watt practice amp much louder?

    Dave.....the OP also admitted that he had never really tried to crank up the amp. Most replies pretty much told him to turn it up and see. Assuming he finally did that....he probably found out that the amp is really "much louder" than he thinks. Many who replied told him that the 40 watt...

    Is there any way to make my low-watt practice amp much louder?

    Hey Dave....I was not saying that valve amps and solid state amps are equal in "loudness" (or anything else for that matter). I was saying that stats and tests are what they are....as in....they are what they reveal. "Loudness" is not so terribly subjective as to be difficult to discuss...

    Is there any way to make my low-watt practice amp much louder?

    I have the fender Champion 40 and it's LOUD for sure. It holds it's own in every venue but fairly large ones. Our lead player has the same amp but with a different Celestion speaker (can't remember which one) and it is even louder....but it also has a slightly different tone than mine. Since...

    Anybody use SDCs for vox?

    I have a pair of matched Oktava MK-012 mics. I also have an omni capsule for one of them. IMO they are best used on string instruments and piano recording...but I have actually used them to record voice. They add a touch of "clean" warmth to voices that could use it. Mick

    Vocal Harmonizers? TC Halicon Voice Works - a walk through the basic functions and presets

    I have the older version TC Helicon Voicelive Touch. It mounts on a mic stand. It does take a little time to understand the tons of adjustments and effects to get the best out of the unit...but once you do it's an awesome live and recording harmonizer. Simple taps on the control face can be...

    SG Strap Button Relocation?

    Yes....I love the tone of my Epi SG G400. And...for me...it's playable now and enjoyable. I forgot to mention that I initally tried the old style method of connecting the strap to the head piece....you know...like we used to do with acoustics back in the day. That created the exact opposite...

    SG Strap Button Relocation?

    Yup...I know no one cares much...and this topic is sorta boring but I'm doing an update. I changed the Grover tuner knobs from the solid metal type (fair amount of total weight) to some nice looking plastic pearloid looking knobs. They match the pearloid fret markers. I bought some stick-on...

    Equipment Question

    Hey Marco62......I'm not trying to worry you or give you reason to doubt your purchase but you mentioned that you bought the DP-24 used. I have a DP-24 that I used for many years before going to a DAW. These days I use the DP-24 as a mixer. Over the years the buttons on the DP-24 have...
