    DIY Electric Xylophone

    Has anyone ever done this before? I know how I'm going to build the xylophone section, but am wondering what the best way to amplify would be. I don't want to use any open mics because it's going to be used with very loud music and it seems like non-resonant noise would be a big problem. Would...

    Vinyl pressing plants in the US?

    Wasn't sure where to post this, so figured mastering would be close enough. I'm looking to get around 150 12" records made and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on where in the US would be a good place with reasonable rates and quick turnaround to go. Ones that offer colored vinyl...

    Blue glow in tubes... uh-oh?

    So, I've read the various FAQs on blue glow in tubes, and when I started seeing it in my tubes I didn't think anything of it. However, tonight I looked a bit closer and noticed that the glow is situated visibly in two main areas. It looks like it may be in a bad place, but the tubes still sound...

    DIY Burst Finish?

    I'm refinishing my SG (well, re-re-re-refinishing I guess) with an actual paint job. It's my first paint job that has mattered, so I'm a little bit nervous. Right now I'm in the process of priming, sanding, priming, sanding... you know, the fun part. Anyway, the finish I'm thinking of is a...

    Some heavy rock

    I just mixed this song from my band. Using a consumer stereo so I'm having trouble getting a decent mix out of it, but whatevs. Drummer on here is no longer our drummer, we got a better/heavier one who can keep a constant tempo. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=5398 Input on the...

    12V one power supply tube distortion pedal?

    Is this possible? I want to build a tube-based distortion pedal but don\'t yet feel comfortable working around 120VAC supplies or, by extension, transformers. However, I do feel very comfortable with 9-15VDC and am wondering if there\'s a schematic out there for a 12AX7-based distortion pedal or...

    Speaker isolation box

    Anyone built one of these for recording yet? I'm thinking about doing it for a few upcoming sessions and was wondering how the construction of it differs from that of a standard cabinet aside from the acoustic padding and dimension differences. How many speakers did you use, which brands work...

    Tube amp question

    I've got a Music Man HD130 with the 12AX7 phase inverter. I just changed my tubes to JJ E34Ls from GT 6CA7s, also replaced the 12AX7 with a JJ. The tubes don't seem to be running red-hot, and sound great right now. I don't have the courage to bias the amp myself yet, but am not sure if it even...

    Metalcore for your ears!

    I recorded a band this weekend. I have spent about 5 hours total mixing and editing. It's hard for me to get used to having to do this stuff on headphones but I don't think it's turned out too bad so far. Here is a track: Track 3 - The Combines I am having trouble getting the kick where I want...

    Help! Kick drum woes and troubles

    Hey all. I just recorded a band the other day and, like a moron, trusted the kick mic placement to a friend who was helping out. So now I've got a kick track that I can't get any click out of without having the cymbal level being over that of the overheads, and gating helps a little bit, but it...
