    Why do we come here?

    I started coming here around 99. Was just starting into computer recording and there was NO WHERE to get info on making computers running Windows 95 to play nice with the very few interface offerings at the time. It's a great resource.

    I think I need a patch bay

    The TTL patchbays just have more connections. I've used both. My fav in the Switchcraft TRS long frame type. You have to solder the rear connections but that's a plus as far as I'm concerned.

    It's official. I do NOT like the StringJoys. They break easy and don't hold tuning as well as GHS.

    What Are You Using To Make Music Recordings?

    Still have two 238's but I haven't used them in years. Now I track to an Alesis HD24. That gets dumped into a PC via a MOTU 828.

    How many electric guitars does one really need to (fairly authentically) "cover the bases" - soundwise only?

    I still want one of everything. My collection doesn't overlap much. I need a Tele, well, just because. And a Strat for quack. A Les Paul for the humbuckers. A LP with P90's for sure. A 335 and a Casino for the same reasons (humbuckers and P90's). A jazz box of some description (an Artcore in my...

    I love C-1000's on toms. Not so much as an overhead.

    Peavey Classic 30

    I have a Delta Blues. I have a lot of amps actually. I'd put it in the class of Blues Jrs and such as far as the front end. Having gain and master volume lets you dial in some fizz. What I like about the Peavey is you can bypass the gain/ master volume and its just a straight up Volume/tone...

    Need guidance on use of phantom power on my PC interface

    Phantom power will not appear on the 1/4" inputs at all. Ribbon mics are what you should worry about although I believe Royers can take it but I won't try.

    Strings

    I was in a local store that I've done business with for more than thirty years that recently sold when the owner retired. Some kid walks up to me and starts into his "string" sales pitch. I told him I had used GHS Boomers and he says "hmmmmm.....never heard of them". I won't be going back.

    I've always been a GHS Boomer guy. And all my local spots don't carry them anymore. What's a mother to do? So today I'm trying something new. I hate change.

    How to correctly connect balanced XLR to unbalanced stereo AUX on headphones amp

    Yes. You make the special cable. Check the specs on your mixer to confirm the pinout. Most are 1= Ground, 2=+ and 3=-. I also have a StudioMaster mixer where the XLRs are jst the opposite.

    Another f'n mandolin post?

    I'm somewhat of an acoustic freak and Norman Blake in particular. This is fucking excellent all the way around.
