Can anybody out here help me out? I'm running a Fishman Prefix Plus acoustic guitar onboard pre into a Pod Pro as a direct box, then from the unprocessed guitar out to the recorder. Can anybody tell me if the unprocessed guitar out is line level, and if so, is it +4dBu or -10dBv? It's not too...

What is it with these suckers? God, when my engineer walked in, he looked around and asked "where's the Lava lamp?" Am I missing out on one of the great traditions? I couldn't think of any other forum to post this. Do they decrease RFI? What gives?-Richie

I'm using a little ambience on the reverb for tracking acoustic guitar, for instance. I'm using 2 mics, a SD cardioid condenser pointed at the 12th fret, and a LD omni condenser over the left shoulder, going into a DBX 386, then into a TC electronics M300 multi- FX box, then to the recorder...

We need a relatively high-end nylon string guitar for the current project to match with a Celtic lap harp. We think a steel string will overpower the harp, which has a relatively small voice. I'll admit to having limited experience with classics. Can somebody define the difference between a...

Has anybody used this amp? I'm planning on using it out of Pod Pro to drive a 1X12 Marshall cab with an 8 ohm Celestion vintage 30 in bridged mono for studio, not live work. Available used for $180 in good condition. Does that sound like a good price?- Richie

1 used AKG Solid Tube original aluminum case power supply power cord brand new 6 pin interface cable original shockmount $400 firm I'm selling it because I need other gear and I'm doing most of my guide tracks with another mic that suits my voice better. Send me a PM or email at...

Has anyone in the world except me used this mic? It has been my standard for a stage mic for longer than I can remember, and when I started recording, they told me to use an SM57 or 58. I didn't have either one of them, because they sound awful on my voice in every situation. So I stuck it on a...

I really want to put up some stuff I've recorded with a KORG PXR4 Pandora, but I've hit a snag. It's in MP2 format on the hard drive, plays fine in several players, and we've got the web site to put it up on, but the size of these files is huge! 5 minute song in stereo- 18 megs! I could upload...

Does anybody know where I can get a pickguard for an SG Supreme and an Epiphone SG special? The one little pickguard that Gibson sells will not clear the pickup housings, and if you cut it down, the cut runs right through the pre-drilled screw holes. I'm pretty sure that if I could find one...

This may not be a new thread, exactly, but the info is worth posting to a new thread. The hum from hell has been found, and it is not transformer interference from another pre, it is VC1QD, the analog-digital converter on the back of my twinQcs, which Macmidimusic kindly fitted to it, although I...

Well I just got the Joemeek twinQcs and I got a problem. I expect it is my ignorance, more likely than a defective unit. I am getting a *wicked* hum from this baby on both channels at any audible level. Now each channel has (2) 1/4" balanced outs and I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that they...

Well, I never got to audition a C3 because the dealers in the Boston area went flaky and Alan really doesn't have local people right now. So I broke one of my most hallowed rules and bought the puppy, because I needed a large diaphragm omni and a cardioid that doesn't have a tube. I was looking...

Hey guys, Alan, whoever- I'm a little S/PDIF challenged, here, so help me out. If you want digital out on a VC1Q, you need a VC1QD. If you want to use the 2 channels of a twinQ, do you need 2 VC1QD's?- Chessrock, I'm convinced. Even though the little Octava's actually *love* the DBX386, I need...

I don't know whether there enough micro recorder junkies around here to justify a forum. Most of y'all seem happy with PC based or Roland class DAW setups, and yeah, I do that too. I'm just interested in how many people here couldn't resist Korg PXR4 or ZOOM, or BR-532 4-trackers. Fess up, guys...

Alan Hyatt doesn't seem to be answering email, and I'm trying to find out if anybody knows where I could audition a C3 in the Boston area. Reviewers have raved about this alledgedly German-thrashing mic, and I need a large diaphagm omni to fill a hole in my mic cabinet, but I really prefer to...

Can anybody give me a tutorial or recommend a website for the down and dirty of setting intonation on a solid body with a tune-o-matic bridge? I'm way tired of paying guitar wizards to do what I ought to be able to do myself. Thanks in advance- Richie

What do you think, guys? I'm very familiar w/ the Lexicon but not the TC electronics unit. BTW, do not confuse this with the Lexicon M300, which is a wicked high end pro level unit- Richie

Ok guys, here's one for you- what's the best way I can get a standup bass to the board for overdubs? I'm using Roland VS1824, DBX386 mic pre, AKG Solid Tube, a matched pair of Oktava MC012's (cardioid), for which I have 1 omni capsule, AKG C2000B, and AKG dynamics. I have diddly experience with...

Ok,I've figured out enough to ask meaningful questions, I hope. I now know what my available tools are, and I can begin figuring out how to use them. First, you can skip the "everybody is looking for a sound, what's yours?" and the "I don't really know what your room sounds like.", etc., ;I know...

Just posting to invite replies from others who share my fate. I have so few people to talk to about all this stuff that have a clue what I'm talking about.(What's a compressor, dear?) I'm building a project studio to do the basic tracks and rough mix for my first CD. My interests involve...
