Just purchased a pair of Event PS5 Nearfield Monitors, and I like them a lot. They are small but quite powerful. Anyone out there hear of a review of these speakers. They sound pretty balanced to me but I have nothing else to reference them too. Just stereo speakers. Any of you guys use these...

Oh! the aroma of freshly sawn wood, The sawdust the splinters... Sometimes I would like to start all over again. I am currently in my third "Home Studio" and I personally enjoyed the construction phase almost as much as making music. Take lots of pictures, and keep us drooling.... Dom...

I was just wondering how many Christians are here on this BBS. What do you do with your songs? Do you play concerts, or at churches? Do you record and sell CD's? I am a "Bible Believing Christian" and I lead worship every Sunday at church. I Write songs about the Lord. I do this because I...

Tell us about your studio lighting.... I removed all florescent light fixtures from my house...and Replaced them with track lighting. Some banks are colored and some are white to change moods. During vocal overdubs I keep it dark in the control room, just the glow of the equipment looks...

OK I have a CD! Now What? I started this post sort of as a joke, but now it seems a bit more serious.... WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR FINAL MIX? Sell it? Give it away? To Whom? Bring it to school for "show and tell"? Let's hear from all of you creative masters out there. I'll start; I usually...

Ok don't make fun of me, but how you guys get pictures of your studios to show up in your threads? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to computers so explain it to me step by step. I tried to attach something to an e-mail once and the duct tape got the computer screen all sticky! I want to...

I see the ADAT 24 track digital unit advertised in the new Musician's Friend catalog, $1,999.00! Do any of you have one yet? I really value the oppinions of the BBS members, and would greatly appreciate some "hands on" experienced answers. Sincerely; Dom Franco

We can all use some extra space in the studio, and control room. I came up with a simple Idea for HINGED SHELF BRACKETS.... You can use them for Keyboards, mixers, temporary work stations etc. The best part about them is that they can fold away flat against the wall to make room for an...

Just finished a session using my new JOEMEEK VC3Q PRO CHANNEL as a mic pre-amp. and Direct input for instruments. It's awesome! The EQ is highly usable. A little compression on accoustic guitars! Vocals are crisp and clear. Bass Guitar is fat and punchy! I wish I had several more of these! I...

I seem to always have a tangled mess of wires hanging in back of my racks and work stations. Most of them are black and hard to tell apart. Every once in a while I get the bug to untangle the mess and start all over clean. Then a new piece of gear comes in and an old one goes out. I play a...

I was asked to help mix and master a live digital recording of a beautiful grand piano, vocals and flute etc... (classical stuff) The recording was ok. Piano close miked in stereo with nice condensors; but it had that digital harshness. That bite and edge to each note! I experimented with EQ...

One of my ADAT's (The oldest one) will suddenly kick out of recording mode into "PLAY" I have read that this is a sign of the idler wheel being worn. Have any of you replaced on yourself? Had one replaced when serviced? It look's like a simple job, but....? Thanks ; Dom Franco

I just couldn't wait for the HD 24, and "Guitar Sinner" had ADAT LX20's on sale for $899.00 new in the box! I bit, I bought, I blew a bunch of bucks! They did however throw in two 8 channel snake cables, and I must say that my rack looks impressive now. When the HD 24 becomes available, (And...

I just checked out the specs and Faqs for the Alesis HD24. Wow is this thing cool or what? I was thinking of purchasing another ADAT for more tracks, but now It looks like I'd be better off getting an HD24. The list price is $2,499.00. Musicians Friend has them for $1,999.00 but I wonder if...

Do any of you own or use the Yamaha RY9 rythym programer? It looks like a bargain for about $200 bucks. I would like to know if the drum samples are any good. It looks small enough to travel with, and might work well as a songwriting tool. Thanks in advance for any help... Dom Franco

A few years ago I was writing a lot of good songs, even had some financial success with a few. Then I started buying better equipment, and building a studio; all because I wanted to write more, and better songs? Don't get me wrong, I love home recording, but for me it took up all my time to...

I Recently had to travel out of town on business. The thought of leaving all my (*loved ones) at home was just unbearable. I might also miss my wife and kids. I had to find some way of doing some recording in the motel room. I finally settled on a few small pieces of gear that might get me...

I have to do some traveling this next month.... and I just hate to have those Airline bag boys throw my good guitars around. (One trip to Australia broke the neck of my favorite vintage accoustic!) So I went down to Guitar Center to try out their selection of small guitars... Martin...

My studio is very well isolated from the upper level of the house. So I cannot hear the door bell.... This is of course a good thing when I am tracking vocals or accoustic guitars. However; when my musician friends arrived at the house they had no way of letting me know that they were standing...

Help.... Anyone out there have a schematic for an older black face ADAT? I smoked a capacitor on the power supply board component # C107. The little cap is charred beyond recognition so I can't read the value. Anyone out there have a manual with a parts list? HISTORY: Everything was going...
