So im going to start running the sound for my high school theatre (yea im a young'n) typically how should spoken word be EQ'd? Anything else i should know for theatre sound? for the EQ i'm guessing rolling off the bottom end below 250, boosting around 1k, and rolling off the highs above 10k...

Is there another bass drum mic with more bass than the beta 52? The beta 52 has awesome bass if you mic the bass drum real close, but i prefer the tone of moving the mic back a bit, but then i lose the bass. Is there a way around this? I need a mic that is sensitive to pick up all the resonance...

quit staring at your computer screen and go record something! you dont know it yet, but you have just recieved a tip more valuable than gold.

just wondering. Any opinions on being lessons vs self teaching? I know a lot of guitarists are self taught, but i havent heard of as many pianists that are self taught. I'm asking because i'm not a pianist but i have a piano, and have been messing around with it learning how to play it the past...

ok, so i've made a few posts on this topic, about the massive drumset I'm building. I decided I'm almost definetly going to have to build the 28" bass drum myself, since shipping alone will cost an arm and a leg on ebay, that is if i can find any on ebay for a decent price, and there arent going...

I'm building a massive drumset, with massive drums. for details, check out my thread, building my own slightly unusual drumset The beast has begun its first stages - i just bought the 24" bass drum off ebay, which came with a free high hat stand so i got that too. Now i need to get mounts and...

I'm considering building a hollow body guitar. My question is how do different woods affect the sound? Is it different for electric guitars than it is for acoustic guitars? Is it different for hollow body guitars than it is for solid body guitars? I have an old yamaha classical guitar with the...

Why must i dither if i have enough space left on the CD to not dither? is there a technical problem here, like it wont play in typical CD players or what? Why cant there be 24-bit CD's?

i swear this isnt an analog/digital war thread. This is just for fun. What would the perfect imaginary recording system or medium be? Im thinking a 2" reel to reel with a digital interface for editing - but no digital effects or anything, everything but the editing interface would be analog...

i hope its okay i post this here. my question is about home stereo speakers, not studio monitors... so i didnt know where else to post. Anyways, it used to be that the bigger the speakers you had for your stereo system or entertainment center the better. now the speakers are smaller than my...

Maybe the answer to this is obvious to someone else... but what is the point in everyone trying to master their music to be as loud as possible?? The listener is going to make the volume whatever they want it anyways, and it sucks the dynamics out of the music in extreme situations - so why do...

Are the bx5a's the only version of the bx5's available now? I just looked at a few websites and all i can find are the new bx5a's. i cant afford the bx5a's, i wanted the bx5's... whats up?? i heard that they still make the bx5's (although i cant find them) but now they dont have the acoustic...

My all time favorite microphone is the legendary U67. I would give my right arm for one. Unfortunately I'm a student... so money is pretty tight. Is there a cheapy microphone, say, under or around $500, that is sort of like a cheap U67? Smooth, slightly dark sound.... U67 ish... similar...

My friend is in the market for an LDC, with a budget of $200. Right now he's looking at the Studio projects C1, the AT3035, and the Rode NT1. It will be used mainly for vocals and drum overheads. PS he's in a punk rock band (without much screaming, fortunately.) Oh and he has a folk sort of...

are they the same thing? can they be used interchangeably? I'm sure each is a little more specifically designed for its own instrument, but i've seen several amps that are titled keyboard/bass amps, which gives me the impression that really there is no difference. I guess they both have a...

I'm in the market for a hollowbody electric guitar right now, but to be honest i dont know much about them. I'm looking for a real mellow tone, i have this idea of a sound in my head that is like a nylon string guitar.. only electric. I'm thinking one with just one neck on the neck will be fine...

I'm building a massive drumset. (see building my own (slightly unusual) drumset for details) does anyone have any bass drums that they'd be willing to sell? Especially a 28" bass drum if anyone has one. The other sizes I'm looking for right now are 24" and 18". Also, i'm looking for really used...

allow me to share a little story as a demonstration. Me and my friend run my churches sound for youth groups and some main church services. We just got a brand new digital board and this evening were playing with it with the youth band. There are two other sound guys in the church that do the...

by building i dont mean i'm actually going out and getting wood and turning the wood into drums or anything... i'm just getting various peices of drums and putting them together as a set. My idea is to get a bunch of used, big bass drums, one 14" tom, then either a very large wood snare or...

This may be a really dumb question, but what is the difference between 'normal' cassette tapes and 'high bias' cassette tapes?
