I'm looking for a Presonus Firepod in new or like new condition. They're selling pretty regularly on ebay for $600 with free shipping and an SM-57. If I don't find a better deal I'm just going to get it there, but I thought I'd see if anyone has it available for sale here. Also, if anyone has...

I'm selling this black Samick acoustic/electric guitar. It's in good shape overall, has two frets that twang a little bit (9th fret on G and 16th fret on B) and there is a small crack in the neck near the head (which doesn't affect the sound). I just had the truss rod adjusted and new strings...

I currently have an Aardvark Q10 that I use to record on my desktop PC. I've been very happy with it, but now I need to make live recordings. Since I wanted to get a laptop anyways, I figured I would go for it over a portable stand alone unit. I've done a little bit of research (including on...

I'm looking to pick up a bass but I don't know much about them. I saw this one on craig's list and thought I would see what people here thought about it. http://detroit.craigslist.org/msg/59455258.html I'm a beginner so I don't need anything fancy, but neither do I want sucky garbage. I'd...

I've been contemplating buying a bass, and I saw this ad on Craigslist. I don't know much about basses with regard to brand or price. Can anyone tell me if this is a good deal or not? http://detroit.craigslist.org/msg/58331707.html Thanks, Peter

Anyone know of any good books about how to build a recording studio? It would be nice if it had information regarding building from scratch (site construction and all) as well as how to most fittingly adapt an existing space. Thanks, Peter

I'm not sure why, but I had never tried using room mics before. Usually I set up a coincident pair next to my guitar or voice and always have to battle for a good stereo image. I tried setting up some room mics today to pick up the ambient sound and the improvement seemed laughably easy. A...

Sorry...I just couldn't resist the developing theme, but feel free to expound.

This isn't a recording thread, so you meter junkies out there can tune out. I just bought a drum set a three weeks ago. I've been practicing fairly regularly, about an hour a day (broken into three 20-minute sessions). I'm having a lot of trouble with fast kick beats and I can't figure out...

My brother and I are thinking of buying a house in the next year or so, and it's important to me that it have a suitable recording space. With regards to size, shape, and acoustics I know more or less what I'm looking for, but I'm in the dark about how I should treat the electricity and wiring...

Anyone have any comments on these mics? I'm more or less decided on buying the NTK, and thinking about the NT4. Mostly just curious about the NT5. Let me know if you have any experience with any of them and what you have liked or disliked. Thanks! Peter

If anyone has any or all of these mics, I'm in the market for them. Looking for Rode NTK and NT4 and Shure SM58's. I'd like mics in VERY good condition or better, but they don't have to be brand new. Let me know what you've got and what price you're looking for. Thanks! Peter

I know this is a recording website and all...but I just bought a drum set and I was wondering if someone could help me out with a few bits of technique. First, if I'm keeping a beat with the hi-hat and I release it, do I want to hit it with the sticks when I lower it back down, or should I...

I'm looking for a complete drum set with at least a kick, snare, two high toms, floor tom, high hat, crash, ride, all the necessary hardware, and hopefully a throne. I'm hoping to find a Pearl Export set, but I would consider other sets as well. I live in Southeast Michigan, so this is...

I'm looking for something that I can bring with me on tour to record shows. Ideally I want something small and cheap with RCA ins and outs so I can feed directly from the PA system, and I would like at least some capabilities for setting input levels. Format and other features aren't too...

I'm heading back on tour in a week. The fall schedule is pretty intense, 80 + shows and about 20,000 miles on the road. I'd love to meet some of you out there; I'm trying to gain a sense of what it is other people in similar situations do. We're starting in the northeast, then the midwest...

I'm looking for any decent listing of music festivals around North America so I can try and apply as a performer. My searches on the internet have come up with events that are either too high-profile or too traditional. I'm primarily searching for folk festivals, but anything that would accept...

I'm looking for a well-made, durable hand drum that I can bring with me on the road without excessive fear of it being obliterated. I'd like a Djembe or Dumbek (sp?) or something similar, between 18 and 36 inches tall. Ideally, this would be available somewhere close to me so we wouldn't have...

I've been told many times never to use condenser mics in smoky or humid venues, but I don't know the reasons behind it. Could somene explain that to me, and also tell me if the same consideration should be taken for guitar electronics? I've been playing in a lot of bars so far on the tour, and...

Someone posted a list of radio stations not long ago, I believe it was in this forum. It had links to a few dozen websites that i believe were primarily college radio. I'm trying to find that list so I can mail CD's to them, but I can't track it down. Can anyone point me to the correct thread...
