12's match my 70's hollow-body Ibanez (Gibson 175 knock-off) real nicely. And the same strings make my cheapo solid-body less annoyingly twangy and shrill. I think it's worth it to try real heavy and then back down if you don't like it. This way you'll get an idea of range of sounds/feels from...

Searching "half-normalled" turned up this: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=267142&highlight=half-normalled There's a good diagram of everything but normalled, which behaves as mentioned above. The important distinction is that in a normalled config, plugging into either front...

I have an old, simple tap (Western Electric) that I scavenged from a radio station. I've used it to record musical ideas from other people, but never for a finished product because it sounds like bad audio over a phone line. Though, the one you're looking at is almost certainly better than the...

As you are getting a good sound, as mentioned above, it sounds like there'd be no great benefit to using a DI. Where one would be useful, though, is in matching your instrument's output to a preamp's input. A DI will take an instrument's signal and convert it into a low-impendance, mic-level...

No actual board, just a pile of stuff I'm getting tired of wiring and unwiring each time... EHX Bass Balls -> EHX Stereo Pulsar -> TC Electronic Vintage Bass Distortion -> Line6 DL4 (mostly for looping) -> Boss TU-2 Tuner The bass distortion pedal has recently replaced a Line6 DM4 with a Boss...

Won't this help prevent (or perhaps just minimize) your getting shocked from polarity discrepancies between amps, etc., from which your amp's fuse will not? Of course, only when holding your strings and touching the other mic, guitar, whatever. I've never tried it, but it sounded like a...

Having received no answers in 'The Rack', I'm trying again here: (https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=277178) I've got a strange noise problem that I've never encountered before. One particular patch cable (1/4" TS) when connected to one pedal, a TC Electronic Vintage Bass...

I've got a strange noise problem that I've never encountered before. One particular patch cable (1/4" TS) when connected to one pedal, a TC Electronic Vintage Bass Distortion, generates a loud buzz/humming noise. The same cable does not do this connected to anything else. Likewise, the pedal is...

Does your amp have a polarity switch or a power switch with two on positions and one off in the middle? If so, you needed to reverse to polarity (or switch it on with the other on position). Also, if that's so, in the long term, you should have someone install a properly grounded power cord that...

Right, sorry.

I would think that you'll also have to figure out what caused the resistor to burn. Unless the resistor was seriously flawed in manufacturing (or the circuit design is wrong, but the others, pictured haven't burned), something drew too much current through it to cause the burn. The 2N3055 is...

I agree with everyone saying that you need enough tension for the low B, let alone the low A, to work. Longer scale helps that too, but that's obviously harder to change. While gauge is often a good indicator, you should get the specs for different sets of strings and find the lightest...

Soundcraft 200 vs. 200B Is it a 200 or a 200B/SR? The first series, 200, have have their XLR jacks wired in 'reverse' in that the pins 2 & 3 are reversed. I do not know if the TRS jacks are also reversed. I have a 200B, and while my XLRs follow the modern convention of 2-hot and 3-cold, and...

To add to the mountain on the subject... The front pickups are generally in the same place (1/5 of the string length away from the bridge). The P bass (except the earliest 50's models) has a hum-cancelling split coil pickup and the J has a single coil. The J has a second single-coil bridge...

Found the connector by enlarging photos of the connector on my Soundcraft. Two manufacturers: JAE Hirose Can still find the connectors on JAE's site. Can't make a URL to take you to the page, but here's what you need to find it: http://jae-connector.com/en/type_en.cfm - Click under Type Search...

I'm sure you've found the company website, but here's contact info for various countries including the US: http://www.samick.co.kr/eng/about/global.php Have you tried contacting them? (though it looks grim) And here's a newer version of the M24 (Korean site only)...

I agree that, as said above, you need to get an interface with atleast 4 inputs and play the tapes on a machine with 4 direct outs. As you've observed, you can't line up the tracks from separate transfers because of erratic playback. I've beat my head against a wall trying, but no two passes of...

Connect the 1/4" cable to the talkback box but not the footswitch and see if talkback works. If it doesn't, then a normally open switch is what you need to keep talkback off unless you're stepping on the switch. You also may be able to find a switch that has contacts for both normally open and...

Sonar's (and many apps) MIDI input is generally set to omni, meaning all MIDI channels. So all channels that have sounds configured are receiving your keyboard's ouput. I've found it easier to control this on my keyboard by limiting what channel I'm playing/sending. Or you can set the input...

If the finished tune were just guitar/voice, then in a choice between guitar/voice and a capella, I would go with the guitar/voice tempo because that's what the song's going to be. Along those same lines, if the finished song will be a full band, then when working on the parts, I would try to...
