    Focal Spirit One Headphones

    My buddy Mike is a distributor for Focal and he dropped off a pair of these headphones for me to try out tonight. Compared them to my AKG 271's... The Focals are so much clearer and louder than the AKG's. I actually heard some reverb nuances that I hadn't heard before. Not hyped in bass and...

    Friends - latest mix

    Friends - MP3 Mix Back again with the latest mix - re-recorded all the guitar tracks today. Eq'd the MP3 a bit to try and make it sound less crappy at such a low bit rate. Does this need any fixes to the mix? Let me know what you think.... Thanks! :D:D:D:D

    Greg what level is your pre gains on your JCM900

    I was setting up my levels - thanks to rayc - and tried a few different settings. I've played/recorded with the same settings for a long time. Specifically for this thread, I turned the gain on both my preamps to full blast and played a few things. To be honest it was mushy and it sort of lacked...

    TIme for new tubes

    Amp is ready - picking it up after work. I'll try and post what he did when I get the invoice listing. He did a lot of things trying to recreate the crackle - but I don't think he ever did get it. He did get a hum eventually (wonder what he did to create a hum which wasn't there orignally...

    Sitting or Standing - does it affect your singing?

    Maybe I'm too relaxed when I'm sitting, maybe my posture is better, cause I find I sing better when I am standing. I know it's usually easier to sit with an acoustic and they sometimes have no strap. Which way do you find easier/better for you?

    Friends - mix check this song for me

    SoundClick artist: G and M Project - G and M Project My amp is in the shop so I thought I would mix something instead today. I did a lot of tweaks to the relatively few tracks - stuff like eq and automation. I have a few reservations on the mix but I'd like to hear what others think before I...

    TIme for new tubes

    2011 Les Paul Goldtop Traditional Satin 1960

    Gibson.com: Gibson Les Paul Traditional 1960 Zebra Played a goldtop satin at Long and McQuade this afternoon. Found a couple of spots where the string choked - up in the 12th fret area. The action was not low so I wonder if it needed a fret job - I was surprised a 1600 guitar would have a...

    Old Gibsons I wish I still had

    70's Les Paul Black Beauty and 55/74 Les Paul Special Edition. That 8 X 10 cab was pretty sweet too... I bought a mid 70's Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop for $550, which I traded a couple of years later to my guitar teacher for the Les Paul Special. The Les Paul Special was stolen along with a White...

    Compression

    Compression Celine Dion makes sure she gets no compression in her IEM's (read this a while ago). Have you ever sung with compression in your monitors (IEM or speaker) and do you find it good or bad - for you. Do you always sing compressed or uncompressed? Of course soundman for a venue's house...
