    Mini review of the new Mackie Blackbird

    I ordered mine a while ago and they are finally here! I haven't had a chance to do a full recording session, so take my impressions with a grain of salt. Here is what I have noticed since hooking them up yesterday: First impressions: Very solid. A lot of this review will be comparing them to...

    FS: Presonus Firestudio and Digimax D8

    Picked up a pair of Mackie Blackbirds recently, so I don't need the Presonus gear now. I picked up the Firestudio from another member here a couple months ago and it has been great. There are a couple scuff marks (normal rack marks) on it, but it is otherwise in great shape. The Digimax does not...

    FS: Sennheiser EK300 IEM G2 (in ear receiver and buds)

    We were getting rid of one at work and I thought I might be able to fix it up to work with some legal frequencies here in the US, but I don't think that's going to be feasible/practical, so I might as well sell it. This one is essentially brand new--I believe it was a canceled special order, so...

    DW7000 and Pearl P902 drum pedals

    Getting rid of a DW7000 single pedal and a Pearl P902 double pedal. I got the DW7000 used a while back to replace a Gibralter double pedal. I liked the feel of the DW better and thought I wouldn't need the double. Couple years later, I started listening to heavier music, so I got the P902 to...

    FS: ART Tube MP Studio (x2)

    They're in pretty much mint condition. I just have a whole lot of other preamps that I like better, so I don't need them anymore. Looking for $15 shipped anywhere in the continental US. I have the power adapters, I think I still have the manuals, but I don't have the original boxes.

    Various ways of syncing converters...

    I've been trying to find some information on the advantages/disadvantages of the different ways of synchronizing converters, but I can't seem to find a whole lot of information. There's word clock sync over BNC, there's ADAT over an optical cable, there's AES/EBU (I think, though most things...

    FS: New M-Audio ProFire 2626

    I recevied it about 2 days ago, decided I would rather have the Firestudio, but can't return the ProFire, so I'm going to get what I can for it. I opened it to try it out, had it sitting on my desk for about two days, and will be putting it back in the box tonight. What you're buying is...

    WTB: BNC Ts and terminator

    Or if you can just recommend a place that sells them cheap and doesn't charge a fortune for shipping in the US. I need two Ts and one terminator. Actually, if there's a male BNC coupler out there, I would like one of those, too. The ProFire 2626 already has a breakout cable, so it seems kinda...

    Sync some gear without an expensive master clock?

    I'm trying to see if there's any way to sync 3 pieces of gear I have without spending a fortune on a master clock. I have a ProFire 2626, which has word clock in/out and ADAT in/out, a Presonus Digimax D8, which has only ADAT out and wordclock in, and a MOTU 2408 mk2, which has wordclock in/out...

    Can't get rid of hum/buzz!

    I upgraded to an Orange TH30H not too long ago (and posted my thoughts about it here), but I noticed there was some hum/buzz (both, really) coming out through the speaker. At first, I thought maybe it was something with the amp, so I emailed one of the Orange techs who took me through a couple...

    FS: MOTU Traveler (original) in box with accessories

    Selling my MOTU Traveler. It's the original one, not the mk3, which means it doesn't have the onboard effects, but it is otherwise a fantastic interface. It is in pristine condition--there may be a scuff on the top, but it may also just be some dirt. Definitely nothing that will show up if you...

    Which MOTU interface?

    I have a MOTU Traveler, the original one I think. I recently inherited a MOTU 2408 mk2, but not the PCI card that goes with it. Is there any real advantage to the 2408 over the Traveler? I only record at 24/48, so the higher sample rates of the Traveler don't matter to me. I have a Presonus...

    Swap tone controls for treble/bass controls?

    I have an older Gibson with stock pickups and electronics, but I'm wondering if it's possible to add at least active electronics (if not active pickups, too) so that I can swap the two rather useless tone controls for a master treble and bass control. Has anyone done that before? My bass has...

    Thoughts on my new Orange Thunder 30 head

    Being a little impulsive, I decided to put in my order for the new Thunder 30 head before it was shipping, so now that I finally have it sitting here in my house, I thought I post my thoughts on it for those considering picking one up. First, the gear I'm using. I'm playing in a small basement...

    FS: Vox Night Train with Jule Mods

    I finally decided I needed an amp with a little more power and a proper effects loop, so I need to get rid of my Vox Night Train. It's in great condition (I'll post pictures a little later) and is a versatile little luchbox. The cleans are nice and sparkly, which I rather liked (especially with...

    Layaway is the worst thing ever

    Because I am putting a nice G&L Legacy on layaway tomorrow and I can't take it home until I pay it off... :( On the other hand, at least I get to claim it. I don't think I would've picked the off-white (vintage white?) coloring if I had a choice, but it's a used piece for an absolute steal, so...

    FS: DW7000 single pedal

    I recently bought a new Pearl P902 double pedal, so I don't really need the 7000 anymore. It's in great shape, though it's a little dusty right now. Shipping charges will apply, but I'm flexible on price. Make me an offer.

    Is it the SansAmp or my bass?

    Every bassist whose tone I am after uses a SansAmp Bass Driver DI. Many of them also use a Mesa 400+, but I can't afford that, so I thought I'd spring for the SansAmp. I just cannot get the tone I want out of it. Everyone seems to love the DI, so I feel like I must just not be doing something...

    Just had my Night Train modded by Jule...

    ...and I am extremely disappointed. The Jule mod is supposed to smooth out the sound and get rid of the fizziness, which it did, but it completely ruined the nice sparkle the amp had running clean. It's quite simply not there anymore and it's impossible to get back without putting the amp back...

    FS: Audix D6, MXL 990/991 pack

    Just ordered the Audix DP7 pack, so I don't really need the extra D6. It's in great shape. The grill is a little dented, but it is otherwise ding-free. I don't need the 990/991 pack, either. Both are in great shape and come in the plastic MXL case with clips. The D6 includes the clip and Audix...
