    Live sound--dumb question?

    When my band plays out we keep it simple and just run everything full range.(our PA) Its quick and easy and suits us well although low end is always a problem, as in not enough. My question is I have a couple of cabinets with 1 15 inch EV each and the horns are disconnected, since I have no...

    Rode nt-5 pair

    Ive seen some pretty mixed reviews of these mics but my question is ,to all you mic experts out there, what would you consider to be a great price on a pair of these mics in good used condition? I would use these mostly as OH, HH and maybe acoustic.

    My Pearl Eliminator double pedal ....revisited.

    I posted a thread about this pedal a few months ago when I was planning on getting rid of it, which I never did , not because of a lack of trying. Anyway I got it out one more time to mess with it and I FINALLY think its now playable. What I did was increase the action?...not sure if that is...

    Steel snares on the cheaper side.

    When I quit gigging on a regular basis I got stupid and got rid of my pearl free floater snare, I had a brass and steel shell, and started using all older wood ludwig snares. I cant ever seem to get a decent snare sound when recording with these things so im gonna start looking around for a...

    Moving projects to different laptop

    If I have my projects saved to a external hard drive can I just plug into a different laptop using the the same DAW(reaper) and pull em up and continue? That seems too easy, am I missing something obvious. Sorry for the dumb question, just dont wanna mess things up!

    Here's what I did on my sick day.....

    I feel like Im getting better but Im still missing something, maybe just experience. This is what I came up with on my sick day, not really a guitar or bass player and playing the drums with a head cold was a bitch, but whatever. Input on sounds and mix would be great. Thanks! Fallingdown...
