I have this AKG C2000B which i've had forever but almost never use anymore. I decided to take it apart and check out what's inside. I noticed there's a pretty heavy second layer of screen on the inside of the mesh cover. Also, there's a foam pad that was attached to the diaphragm area. I...

i'm doing a mixdown of a song my friend recorded of the band at his church. it's a live recording, with 8 tracks and i think he recorded it thru an Alesis firewire thing. it's a Christian song, and really not my type of music AT ALL, but i'll mix anything someone gives me, haha. anyway, i...

i sent my Ampeg SVT-3 Pro in for warranty work a couple weeks ago. it had been giving me some trouble. mostly, after playing it for about 5 minutes or so, the gain would seem to drop by at least 50%. under normal circumstances, my bass could get the clip light to come on with the gain about...

i just got an amp, and the previous owner painted the name of the band on the top of the amp. just wondering what would be the best way of removing the paint without messing up the tolex. :confused:

i'm gonna go check out this Sunn Model T head that somebody is selling for what appears to be a decent price. i had intended to use it for bass, but after doing a little bit of research on the thing, it appears to be listed as a guitar head. it's 150 watts, is it gonna be loud/clean enough...

i'm having a bitch of a time trying to find my drum stick of choice! my first drumsticks were Pro Mark oak 747 with nylon tip. i like the feel of the oak, but don't like the nylon tip. i tried some Vic Frith 5A, i like the taper and the tip. then i bought some Pro Mark hickory 747 with wood...

so i was a member of AcidPlanet a long time ago when i used to use Acid (versions 2.0 and 3.0, yikes). anyway they have these remix contests, and i used to do them pretty regularly, then i sorta disappeared for a couple years. now i decided to go back, armed with better stuff and more...

i need some help for an upcoming project. it's a politically-themed death metal polka ballad. what's the best mic i can use for this for under $100? :confused:

i have a really stupid question to ask regarding a Yamaha MG24/14FX mixer for live sound (although it probably applies to any mixer i assume). anyway, the mixer has 4 Group buses, and each channel has only 2 buttons for sending to groups, a 1-2 button and a 3-4 button. so does this mean that...

i was reading through this article here about audio cables: http://www.rane.com/note110.html according to the diagram on that page, it shows that on an XLR cable, the shield should not be connected on the female end. is this really true? because on the mic cables i've made, i left it...

so after having my Wharfedale Diamond Pro 8.2 active monitors for about 3 days, the tweeter buzzes on the right side. it's really freakin annoying, especially since i've really gotten into a certain project that i'm trying to work on. i didn't even do anything to mess them up, i was working on...

speaker out sends a speaker level amplified signal. line out sends a line level signal. so you would plug the speaker out into a speaker cabinet, and the line out into the line input of a mixer or something.

a clip from my favorite morning radio show, The Mikey Show (www.mikeyshow.com). unfortunately The Mikey Show moved from one of my local stations down to San Diego, so now all i have to listen to is their podcasts. check this one out, it's a bit they do every now and then called Tyrone and...

hey guys...i came across this thing at work, it's a Tripp Lite LS-600b, on the front it says, "Line Stabilier/Conditioner" and on the back it says, "Low Voltage Regulator With SPIKE BAR Noise & Spike Supression" is this thing maybe a good power conditioner? it only has 2 outlets on the back...

i have a guitar that i have designated to be used for drop tuning (basically Drop D -1 step). i know thats probably pretty damn lame, but hey i like to play some low-tune metal type stuff every once in a while. anyway, i was wondering if maybe i could take the guitar to a shop and get it set...

i need it to sound ultra pro. it sounds crappy after i mix it, but when i run it thru iTunes it sounds good. just wondering how to adjust the settings on iTunes to get the best mastering? :confused:

if someone forced you to purchase one of these items, which would it be? (used doesn't count!)

Me and my cousin are gonna be getting our own place pretty soon, since my rent where i'm at is just too high. i'm looking to use a spare bedroom at the new place as a jam room and want to get a (used) drumset on the cheap that is decent. i came across a newer Pacific drum kit for $350 and a...

hey this might be kind of a dumb question, but is there any place (other than ebay) that you guys know of that sells signs and posters and stuff that you see in music stores? i think some of that stuff would be cool to have around the house or in the studio area. like signs from different gear...
