More and more I'm seeing that some companies building preamps don't seem to understand "monitoring" as in no, or low latency monitoring. In a lot of DAW setup's the best way to achieve this is to use an output that is on the preamp and use that output for monitoring. Companies like Great River...

A buddy of mine who fell on hard times still has some gear left. I've previously sold some mics here for him but here are some more items. I don't have any prices on any of this gear yet..but thought I'd list them here anyhow. Crate acoustic amp. Model CA30D Marshall DSL401 Shure SM58...

What do you guys really think about these pre's? There has been so much hype (a lot of it from Mackie) about them. I'm at a point where I need a couple more pre inputs but I want decent quality. I keep thinking about the new Onyx 400F's that are coming out that have 4 pre's. But then I've got...

I did a little test last night on which set up gives me the best sound for recording acoustic guitar. I used an AT 4033 mic I first recorded my Taylor 420 into my Alesis studio 24 with very little EQ tweaks. Then recorded the 420 into my Meek VC6Q pre using no compression but doing a little EQ...

Both in perfect shape.. PM me any offers

This unit looks very interesting.. Right now I run a 1010 and use an Alesis mixer for some routing and monitoring. The mixer is crapping out more and more and I've been looking at newer solutions like this 400F. Although it's still not available. What do you guys think of thsese units? The...

A good friend of mine is really falling on hard times. Here's a list of some of his gear. He's asking me to help him out and get the stuff on EBAY but of course I thought I'd list it here first. He's open to offers and all correspondence will have to go through me as he doesn't have net access...

Posting this here because I think some of you guys here have posted threads there before. Their message board got hacked awhile back but it's still not up. Anyone have any idea when it might come back up? I’d like to go through the messages there because I’m doing research on a PMI Audio product.

I’ve been thinking about getting a matched pair of small diaphragm condensers for recording acoustic instruments. Something like Studio Projects C4’s. I already have an AT 4033 that does give me pretty good sound on acoustic guitars so what I’m wondering about is would my money be better spent...

Sitting here in my cubicle at work is a Taylor 410K that a co-worker brought in. This baby has a Koa top, back and sides and it’s beautiful. It’s in great shape and he will let it go for $550. It’s not the cut-away (I can always use my legend for lead work) but man it sounds good. I’m at the...

I’m getting close to making a decision on getting a new acoustic. I have an Ovation legend and an Ibanez AW series but I need a good quality-recording instrument. Budget is $1,300 to maybe 1,700. I’ve got a friend with a –5 series Larrivee and I think it’s an incredible guitar. When he bought...

I’ve been running a Delta 1010 for a few years no and it’s been rock solid reliable. I’ve got a buddy who’s looking for at least an 8 in 8 out unit. The kid at GC is trying to sell him a MAudio 1814 because GC (at least my local one) no longer carries the 1010. What I’m a little confused about...

How can a guitar like this made out of Basswood sale for $2600? Anybody here gonna get one? http://www.charvel.com/models/evh/black_white.php

I’m thinking pretty hard about buying a kit. I’m not a drummer but over the years I’ve played drums quite a bit, and once had a drummer roommate for several years and played drums quite a bit during that time. I’m not going to start asking a bunch of questions because I’m reading through a bunch...

I was checking out some Taylor guitars yesterday and some with a price over $1,600 have a satin finish. How much more does a nice lacquer finish cost? Spending that money on something that looks and feels cheap bothers me. I guess the alternative would be Larrivee unless you can special order a...

Anyone here using the SE2A on acoustic instruments? What do you think of them?

Guys, I'm getting more interested in controllers all the time and the 2400 is impressive. But this guys raises a good point about system performance issues. I hope this guy gets an answer. How good is Tascam support? http://www.vaporpark.com/invboard/index.php?showtopic=5146

Onyx mixers direct outs are pre-EQ (why couldn't Mackie be like A&H and Soundcraft and make them switchable) but here's a thread where this guy is going to come up with a mod. Just thought I'd pass this on... http://forums.mackie.com/scripts/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=27&t=000059

Guys, I'm using a powder actuated hammer to drive 2x4's into concrete for my sub-floor and the 2 1/2" masonry nails usually don't go in all the way. They stick out and are hard to nail in flush even using a mallet. 2" nails don't seem to go in far enough and I can't find 2 1/4" nails anywhere...

"The other thing I'd say is, left to my own devices, I rarely use pop shields either because with the tools that are available now, you can deal with those kinds of problems with Pro Tools and I think people sing better into a microphone without the distraction of the pop shield." That comment...
