Yes the MR-8 has "8 tracks," but one of its big weaknesses is the crappy built-in preamps and lack of mixing capability. I found I was really frustrated at the poor sound quality I got running an SM-58 directly into the MR-8. What made an enormous difference for me was adding a pre-amp (an...

just about everyone has something good to say about this pre! Do a quick search and you'll see ;) It sports nice clean, clear gain that's unbeatable for the price per channel. It also has switchable, built-in phantom power and phase inversion switches on each channel. You can't go wrong with...

I'm leaning towards getting the e845 because of the great things I've heard about it, but I was wondering if it would be worth spending a little extra coin for the e945. They're both super-cardioid mics. I'm wondering if the 900 series is similar in relationship to the 800 series in the way...

As a newbie I'd say there's nothing wrong with your mixer...the Behringer's are great when you're just starting out, and despite what people might say about their pre-amps they're MUCH better than the one built into your computer's soundcard! And the mic isn't a horrible choice either...I...

What do you mean by "nice amps" etc? The reason I ask is because often what might sound "good" live is significantly different from what might get you that "good" sound in a studio. For example, many engineers have gotten their "best" guitar tones using a small tube amp like a Fender Champ and...

I've been looking around for reviews of the e900 series mics by Sennheiser, but have only been able to find information on the e835, e845 and e855. Does anyone know the differences between the 800 and 900 series mics, besides price? Has anyone A/B'ed these, or used any of them? There haven't...

Mine consistently runs a bit high, around 123-126V. I don't have an amperage readout on mine...it's one of those Furman conditioners. I always wondered what the significance of this deviance was too, so I'm eager to hear if anyone has a good explanation.

There was a dealer on eBay that was selling the same set (matched pair plust case and shockmounts) you can get at 8thstreet for around $160-170, plus shipping. I was lucky enough to get one last spring. I don't see one of these sets listed right now, but maybe if you keep an eye out you'll...

I love the vocals! Sounds like someone's a pretty talented vocalist! The drums make the recording sound very "live" to me, if that makes sense. I agree that the cleaner guitar at the beginning sounds pretty bad, but that the distorted guitar later on is pretty good.

What exactly do you mean by "harmonics" here? I'm not sure I understand it in this context. And how does it work?

actually, someone just posted their MR-8 for sale in the For Sale forum! You might just be in luck!

exactly! I got my MR-8 for $240 from musiciansfriend.com because it was a "scratch and dent" item. Basically it didn't come with the original box, but was otherwise in perfect condition and guaranteed to work. It also came with a really bad song on it that the previous owner had recorded. I...

have you looked into the MXL v67g? It really awesome on some male vocals, and I like it lots on acoustic too...definitely not a "bright" mic...more "dark" like what you're looking for. And it can be found easily for $90-100, brand new.

Holy crap, that place in Orlando looks amazing! I'm just sad I didn't see even one single left-handed guitar in any of those pictures :( Awesome amp selection though!

This place has some really hot, customizeable cabs: www.earcandycabs.com

I caught that in the trailer the other day too! That mic's the shizzle! hehehe! Funny, one of the headlines on yahoo the other day was about Snoop getting divorced. When you clicked the link the first line of the story was something like, "Snoop is getting a divizzle!" hahaha

I'm still confused about the differences, if any, between building a PA type speaker and a guitar cab. I know the guitar cabs use different speakers, but is there anything fundamentally different in their design that makes them appropriately tuned for guitar amplification (dimensions...

is that Crybaby still available?

I'm selling a lefty Washburn Maverick Series BT-4Q Cherry Sunburst Quilt Top guitar. It's in great shape as it was hardly ever used. It's an alder body, maple neck with a darker colored fingerboard, has Grover 18:1 tuners, and 3 pickups (one humbucker and 2 singles with a 5-way switch and a...

Has else here built GUITAR cabs (2x10, 2x12, 4x10, 4x12), or has everyone made PA or car/home stereo boxes? I'm thinking about making something like this: http://www.6stringninja.com/buzzbomb.htm At some point I'd also like to make a larger 4x12 cab.
