Anyone heard of a Ross mixer? A friend of mine out of state bought a 16 channel Ross mixer for $150. Never heard of this brand, so I assume it can't be that great...am I right or wrong here?

Well this isn't good...my studio is upstairs in my house in an ex-bedroom, and apparently the ceiling below is starting to crack. I suspect the drums, namely the bass drum, as being the culpret, considering the large THUMP THUMP THUMPing will more likely cause cracks than a loud guitar. What can...

I'd hate to cross post but this is prolly a more appropriate board to post this to. I use my computer to mix down to using a SB Live! Value card (older card) from a Tascam 688 8-track cassette recorder. My problem is that my levels can never get very high without distorting, especially low end...

Is this a good idea? I'm rather good with tinkering with things...electronics and what not...taking stuff apart and putting it back together...fixing things myself. I'm looking to re-fret my guitar (Fender Jag-Stang), as the frets have worn down a lot, especially the G spot on most of the frets...

I use my computer to mix down to using a SB Live! Value card (older card) from a Tascam 688 8-track cassette recorder. My problem is that my levels can never get very high without distorting, especially low end bass. All my song end up being much quieter than they should be. I have no problem...

Anyone have experience with these? I've played around on pianos before but never seriously, and never owned one. For the holiday season my work (CompUSA) is selling three models: PSR160, PSR260, PSR280. They run $70, $100, and $150 at cost. I figure I should pick one up for the studio cause I...

I've treaded long miles and yet I have nothing...I tried mic placement, EQ (both on my porta and on my amp), praying to the guitar gods, but nothing...I am unsatisfied with my distortion. I have a Marshall VS100 combo amp, and for the life of me, all I can get is a "fuzzy" type distortion, when...

I'm planning on building some baffles using the plans in Musician's Guide to Home Recording (frame out of 2x4's, insulation inside, cork board outside). Is cork board still the best material to use for such a cause? I'm planning on making 2 baffles for mainly the drums. Plus, the room I'm...

Is there such a switch that when I hit it, it kicks in my pedals? For example, let's say I'm in the clean mode, and I wanna kick on the distortion and delay (2 different pedals) at once...is this possible? Better yet...is there a way to kick in my amp distortion, delay pedal, and pedal...

Anyone use both and like one more than the other? Is the Classic worth the extra cash? Which is more versitile? I'm looking to get some good distortion tones cause my amp isn't satisfying my needs, and I'm too loyal to cheat on it with another amp, so I figure I'd look for things to spice up our...

Any opinions on this head plus a Roc Pro GE-412 4x12 cab? I played it at low volumes at Guitar Center and man did it sound good...you could feel it in your gut. Anyone have one?

Not every single time...Anyway, I don't want to hurt my NT1 when applying/removing phantom power. I suppose I have to make all cable connections first then apply power, correct? How long should I wait after the power is off before removing the cable? And when I hear a "pop" sound when removing...

I was at the book store today and I picked up a book about building your own effects and such for music. Ring modulator...compressor...etc. Call me cheap, but I didn't buy it. I was wondering if anyone knows any websites that has plans and such for building your own effects.

I am now the proud owner of my own studio upstairs in my house (used to be sisters' room). The room is 20' long by 16' wide, and the ceiling is arched in a way that it's 7' tall in the middle of the room for about 6' then angles down on both sides, and at the bottom of the angle the room is...

Let's lay it all out on the table...time to make some cables: 1. Wouldn't I be better off making my own instrument/mic cables? Cheaper than Monster cables, but the same quality right? 2. Can the same cable be used for both, or are instrument cables and mic cables different? 3. Best cable...

What's the cheapest unit or way or whatever to get phantom power to two NT1s? Cheapest dual unit/single...anyone? And would cheap a phantom power unit cause extra noise or something?

Is there really a big difference between these two types of cassettes? Will I notice better sound with SMX? And what length of tape should I use on a cassette 8 track? What's the longest I should use? 90 minute? 120 minute?

Here's a good one for you...I'm looking to setup a studio (semi-pro, we'll be recording other bands as well as our own) with a few friends of mine. We are originally planning to get a 8+ (more like 16 probably...24 MAYBE) track reel to reel. We dig the analog warm sound and such, we're rock...

Are these good bass amps? I have a Fender Jazz bass (which needs fixing up), and I'm looking for a good amp to get. The BXR-100 fits perfectly in my price range, but is 100W enough for bass? I have a 100W guitar amp that I never turn up past 6 or 7...I usually play it at 5 on overdrive and 4 or...

Anyone have one of these? So far, I think that's my best option for my rock band...we need a PA system but we done have fat cash to spend (we're spending most of our money on recording equipment). Is the Passport 250 VERY LOUD with 250 watts? I'd assume that's all we need for practice/small...
