My friend has a pair of BX8a's with blown tweeters that he said he'd sell to me for......30 bucks! My questions is, how much are tweeters generally and is it something I could replace by myself or would i have to have a shop do it?

Bought a D112. What else would you guys recommend I try it out on?

What kind of compression settings would make that type of a snare sound? http://www.myspace.com/deathtograys listen to the song "delaware" at about 8 seconds in to hear it really clearly.

A dude wants to sell me his old MACKIE uad because apparently Mackie originally made them.....couple questions before I name my price. Are these upgradeable i.e. can i buy the newer plug-ins, even though I'm not the original owner? Are these functionally the same as the new UA ones i.e. do the...

I actually ended up only being able to afford 2.5k and not 3k like my last thread stated. I called up Dan aka soundpure and he recommended some stuff for me and I ended up getting a new pair of monitors, converters, and a few mics. I will buy from them in the future, he was a very nice and...

Here's what I've got so far..... -Presonus Firepod -Soundelux u195 -Chandler TG2 preamp -DMP3 -Sennheiser e604 -SM57 -MD 421 mkII -Studio Projects C4 matched pair -Wharfedale diamond pro 8.2 active monitors I KNOW I need better conversion so I was probably going to get a mytek 2 channel A/D...

I understand that the players suck but suggestions on production would be appreciated. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/17538_song4mastermp3.mp3 http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/43388_song2mastermp3.mp3 "magic magic south"

Hello mastering masters, When making certain parts of songs louder, "3db pushes" or whatever it's called, is this most often done by making the perception of the sound "louder" with compression, or is it TRULY louder using volume changes/envelopes/automation? Your dear pal, Briefcasemanx :mad...

hey guys what do you think of my band Telefission? http://www.myspace.com/telefission :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

How much of a difference is there? Right now I am using a Presonus Firepod but it doesn't offer enough as far as upgrading pres and converters so I wanted to get the fireface. Is it pretty necessary that I get some better converters right away? Would it make a HUGE difference, or should I spend...

I remember reading of a mastering house that judged whether mixes were good enough to be mastered by if it sounded good very low as well as very loud. Why is this? What does it mean to have it sound better at a lower volume than loud? Are my mixes creamy and milky enough?

Suggestions for bottom of snare mics???

I keep hearing of people using one mic as an overhead. They do this at the sacrifice of stereo image??? Wouldn't this not only sacrifice stereo image but also make things pretty crowded down the center of the mix? Why is this done?

when you double mic a cab and dual pan 2 different takes on guitar, how do you guys normally figure out eq settings for the 2 mics? Muting one of the takes and panning one take center and then eqing those tracks til they sound good and then doing the same thing with the other take? to you eq all...

When compressing all drum tracks together and sliding the compressed signal underneath the normal drum tracks to give them more "oomph", would you also compress the cymbals?

Okay, I did some overheads on a drum kit and I did an XY coincident instead of a non-coincident spaced pair. I would pan the left mic to the right and right mic to the left correct? Since the mics are crossed and representing the opposing sides of the drum kit? uhhhhhh..... :eek:

The drummer is terrible, the band has only practiced 6 times total and they have 4 songs, and I had the BASS ROLLOFF ENGAGED ON MY 421 WHEN RECORDING THE KICK! AHa!@#%@$^SLDFA;SDF. Any suggestions for making this sound better would be appreciated.....especially the nasty kick drum...

I was wondering who, or at least who will admit to smoking *green herbs* while mixing???? Do you think *mary jane herbs* helps you mix? When under the influence of *chronic herbs* do you feel you can hear things better in a mix or get a better mental picture of each sound in the mix? Who feels...

I need a pair of small diaphragm condensers for under 800. Mainly used as Rock overheads but may see other use, probably acoustic guitar. What do you guys think?

Okay this is probably an easy fix, but I can't seem to get the different parts on the nord lead to act correctly. If all the Parts A-D are set to midi channel 1 then they will all play at the same time even if the red lights aren't on. I have to set B-D to different midi channels and I can only...
