    a thread where I whine about my dead monitor.

    I can't really afford to replace my V 4s. I can hear damage to the coil on the woofer. Must have overheated or whatever. They were floor demos bought cheap-- the damage was probably already done when I got them years ago, and eventually worsened with use. Guess I got what I paid for...

    Vintage Ibanez six string RS335

    Catalog shot. mine's the cream one. now aged to a nice yellow, which really brings out the binding. Also has a coil tap mod that's a 3 way switch-- up and middle positions are two different phases of the 'bucker and down is single coil. Great mod, and worth doing to this vintage guitar...

    Adding firepod inputs? VST inputs not dragging down.

    I just finally got hardware back together after a career ending HD crash. Latest firepod driver installed, firewire card up and running. Firepod is lighting up blue. Youtube vids play fine through the KRK V4's. I can't get any project to see more than input 1 and 2. I've played around in...

    Replacing LE

    Lost my LE in an HD crash. (and all the free plugins that I'd downloaded over two years) Can't find my LE disc, so I guess it's time to upgrade. I have a lot of projects on my backup drive that I still need. I'm concerned that my 1.7 Ghz laptop isn't going to be able to handle any of the new...

    MXL 604 for VO questions

    I'm mailing my extra MXL 604 (the one w/ the broken omni capsule) to a radio newscaster friend of mine who is trying to get freelance newsreading / podcasting work. Any advice for placement and post prod for her (a rank newbie)? I think she's going to be building TimObrien's PVC vocal booth...

    Zoom H2

    I got a Zoom H2 and already recorded a concert with it. I stuck it up on the balcony with the rear mics on the organ pipes and the front catching my choir and the brass ensemble. It came out really well. There's plenty of page turn noise from the organist and a ton of audience noise, but...

    File Management-- moving en masse to a new drive or new computer

    Time to record my band again! I have a USB hard drive that I'd like to use for audio files instead of my laptop's drive. I've already dumped last winter's audiofiles into it. It's 250GB. So if I open the files on that hard drive with cubase on another computer, or on this one after...

    Small condensor for live micing of URB

    Hey people, I have had a rane two channel piezo / mic mixing rack pre in my live rig forever, and have not gotten around to adding the mic to my fishman. The fishman can cover the low mids, but I think that I can replace tyhe piezo-y finger-string soudn emphasis in the upper range with a mic...

    Hammond Model A Organ w/ B3 Upgrades.

    Just like a B3, only you can get the 32' and 16' pedal tones using the lower two sliders on the bottom keyboard! Smaller cabinet than a B3, but way bassier. The guy from the shop loved it and it kind of killed him to deliver it for use without a Leslie... he said it kills through a Leslie...

    Fender Showmaster SSS

    http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar/product/Fender/Showmaster+Special+Edition+SSS+FAT/10/1 I just got one. Y'all will kill me, but I traded my '71 Ampeg VT-22 (minty) for the Showmaster SSS F.A.T. (=Flame Ash Top.) At least it's lighter! Truth is, I've never really had a...

    I just traded my Sennheiser Shotgun

    and a parts P Bass for a Palatino Electric Upright bass. I really never found a decent use for a shotgun here in the studio, and I'm getting sick of taking my big doghouse bass everyehere! I figure what's the point of great mics if you don't have lots of instruments around for making music!

    Getting my Desk and Gear together. Advice?

    The studio's produced one demo album so far, and has settled into a reasonably good workflow arrangement. My desk is a mess, however, and I need to get things settled once and for all. Some Background:The room is a 20x30 multi-purpose space above my detatched garage. It must serve all these...

    NIN Ghosts

    I've just downloaded the free first part. Only on the second track, but I am into it. I read about it in the NY Times-- Reznor has a bunch of pretty skeletal tracks that are there to be remixed as desired under some kind of creative user license. I just about wore out my pretty hate machine...

    Phase Inversion in LE?

    I want to do fun things with my cheap ribbon mic... Is there a phase invert on the channels anywhere? I looked about and didn't find one.

    Built me a P Bass

    '57 RI MIJ Fender Neck, worn in by yours truly as a teenager. I managed to lose the body in a refinishing fiasco (never picked it up from the guy who did it) The SX (aka essex for those searching) body took some work in the neck pocket, but it wasn't too hard to do. (slideshow)
