    S'craft Spirit LE ?

    Local music shop has a well used big old soundcraft desk for $700. It was dusty and looked like it came from your basic smoky venue. I didn't count to see if it was 24 or 32.. It was grey, with the master channels oll the way over on the right, and had a large-ish power supply. I'm pretty...

    My Jazz Band's Flashy Promo Video

    I sound like a total schmuck in the interview, but I had just been running cables and recording and stressing out in general... We recorded the song first (with electric bass!) and then shot the video at the pianist's house. (Recorded piano is a yamaha cp33.) We had no way to play the...

    My Astatic JT-30 has a Crystal Element and has been cutting out the past few times I've played (harmonica) through it. It is now dead, but will make crackly attempts at reproducing sound when I speak loudly into it. Anyone have experience replacing the elements in these? Is this how an...

    My firepod review/experience FWIW

    This is copied from a response I sent to someone's PM, asking about the unit: Previous to the firepod, I only had a (good quality yamaha) four track cassette.

    My Ribbon Manifesto for Noobs like me

    I bought myself a $150 ribbon as my studio's very first real vocal mic. Why? 1. It was cheap. 2. A cheap ribbon is something that will always be interesting to have around the studio. (unlike a crappy over-bright condensor) 3. Similarly priced condensors tend to get more negative press on...
