I know the difference. Active = Internal Amplifier Passive = Unpowered There's all the little types in between... bi-amped, tri-amped, semi-passive, etc. I'm not looking for a particular pair or brand. I just want to know. For the "budget" studio, say, no more than 450 bucks to spare, what...

I'm sure some of you Ebay-addicts have seen these so called "#1" Cobalt River crashes and splashes. Anyone have any experience with them? I'm not a cheapie musician, yet I don't mind buying "cheap" equipment that works and sound alright. I know Zildjain A Customs will almost always beat...

I've been doing a lot of cleaning up around here, and I've decided to sell my PS2 and games. It hasn't been used in about 5 months, so I need to make some space! What I'm selling is: 1 Working Sony Playstation 2 console with 2 controllers, 2 memory cards, AV Cables, and power cable. Also...

Well, this isn't JUST for me. I know of plenty of n00bz that register here just ot ask questions like this! But I'm really trying to find more and/or better ways for Stereo drum overheads and stereo acoustic guitar miking. At this point, I've been pretty dead-set on buying another MXL 991...

I'm stuck, I can't decide which I like more. What do ya'll think!?

So I've got an opportunity to spend 200 bucks. I need some other musical things, so I'd really rather not spend my limit on a compressor. 50% or my recording is just me messing around. The other 50% is me tracking drums for bands, my band, etc. I believe 2 channels worth of compression would...

So I've still got my ol' sm57 with all the fixins', and a free XLR mic cable. I'd much much much much rather trade my 57 for the MXL 990/991 pack. Or, less desirable, a MXL 990 and a few bucks. I'm only going to sell if no one can come up with a good trade. If you have something else you...

Hello everyone. I thought I'd let eveyone on here have a chance at one perfectly good sm57 before I threw it up on Ebay! Anyhow, I've got this "extra" sm57, and it's BRAND NEW. Still in the original box and wrapping. I've removed it from the box and packing to test it out. It works and looks...

So we've got what you'd call a "music" room at my house. It's full of shelves and your basic musical equipment. Couch, 5-7 guitars, piano, 2-3 amps, PA system, computer, recording equipment, and, of course, a drumset. Every once in awhile I'll re-arrange the whole room. I've tried the...

I know, I know. Some of you don't like either. Then don't vote....or post! :D I'm really only wondering about in general. e.g.- IC Hihat stand, IC Twin Kick pedal vs. Pearl Eliminator Hihat stand, Eliminator Twin kick pedal I myself, prefer all Tama IC for hihat stands and pedals...

I want to make a stereo pair of these LDC's. I already have one. With or without shockmount, I don't care about that...As long as it works. I might also take a MXL 990/991 combo, but I really don't need another 991!

OK, I've been doing a lot of recording and messing with mic placement and such. I use 2 SM57s I got off Ebay a few months ago. Keep in mind, I'm still new to recording and microphones, but I'm starting to think the SM57's I got might be fakes. As most will agree, the SM57 is bar-none as far...

Wow, I found these old headphones in a box. I knew nothing but what was printed on the side; HD414. They were Sennheisers, so I knew they couldn't sound too bad! The foam ear muff parts were torn and falling apart, so I've cleaned them up and just recived the foam earmuff replacements...

So I've gone through a few pairs of hats. I just bought some nice "14 New Beats and that brought up the question, "Wonder what other people like?". I aim to eventually get a set of 13" A Custom Mastersounds as primarys, and New Beats as secondary. So what do you all use/prefer? (I love 13"...

So I've been messing around with miking latley. This recording was done with 3 mics. SM57-Snare Beta52-Kick LDC-Overheads. Each mic on different tracks, and EQ'd and effects applied. I can live with this sound, but there's just something lacking. Will a stereo pair of OH's really make a...

So I've been doing some recording; recording my guitar. Micing it with sm57 and an LDC, like normal. I have started (again) using my DigiTech Metal Master Distortion pedal. I love this pedal. I have been tuning lower, and it gives excellent, meaty distortion. Sounds good and all, HOWEVER...

Here's my set-up/situation. Standard 5-piece kit, decent room Mics using: 1x SM57 (top snare, another 57 available) 1X Beta52 (kick) 1x LDC Mic for OH (another SDC available) Other Equipment: 12-channel Berri Mixer (6 XLR, 4 w/IMPs) DMP3 2 channel Preamp (on its way!) Computer with M-audio...

So I've been recording a lot of guitar and cannot seem to decide which (overall) is better. I'm using programs like Amplitube, ReValver, Rock Amp Legends, etc. and can get SOME decent sounds recorded. I'm talking distortions, reverbs, and espesically amp, cab, and mic modeling. So for these...

This really, really sucks! So I was recording some tracks in Sonar 4 and everything was going smooth. I went to apply an audio effect to a rather large track, and my computer froze. I hadn't saved it yet either! I had to run my sis up to school, so I left the computer in its frozen state...

So I'm trying to decide which Condensors will fit my case...and budget! What I'd looking at doing is using the 4-mic technique. Kick=Beta 52a Snare=SM57 (top) I don't plan on having the toms individually miced (3-4 toms), since I don't really want to mess with them...and it'll cost more! So...
