For one thing, I was told that placing monitors with rear-firing bass ports up against a wall was a bad idea. Then there is the console issue. Placing the back of it against the wall would make it almost impossible to change connections on the back of it. It is too deep to just reach across to...

For the rest of my life I plan to build my own cables. I'm so sick of paying stupid prices for premade crap that doesn't last. So I've ordered 500' of good mic cable. Now I need a good source for 1/4" TRS plugs. Anybody know of a place with reasonable pricing?

I tested this mic out in depth before choosing to buy the MD-441. I really enjoyed the 421 though. It has a nice fat punchy sound to it and I found it worked pretty good for female vocals. Not quite enough sheen though... I could see it being used in a wide variety of situations with decent...

Sorry for taking so long to cobble this up... it is very rough and not to scale. But it gives you an idea.

So I am testing the unit out now. Works well with the electric violin, the acoustic/electric 6 string and synths. Has a nice clean sound to it. My console pres overdrive beautifully when pushed hard by a synth bass :D But I am getting a buzzing noise from it. Ground lift on either the box end...

$500 range... AudioFire 8 or 12. I got my 12 on Ebay for $500 and it's blowing me away. Echo makes some serious shit and I can't begin to express what a good value it is getting this level of quality for under a grand.

Best bet is to order an ACM-4 then. :D

Here are the dimensions of my music room. Music Room Dimensions L = 19' 4" W = 11' 5" H = 7' 10" The room is carpeted. Walls are very thick 1/2" wainscotting. When I run this info through RealTraps ModeCalc I get the following problem modes (roughly). 145 290 440 I have Yamaha HS80 monitors...

Same here, I have an older MX802A which is used for summing my FX outputs back into my main console. While I have had bad experiences with newer berry gear this old thing really ain't so bad. Just for kicks and giggles I plugged my MD-441U into one of the mic pre channels on the MX and was...

My friend in another band talks us into opening for him at some dive bar. As a favor we agree to do it. A few days before the gig I go to the place while a band is playing to talk to the sound guy. I tell him I have a mixer on stage and decent compressor/limiters so he says it's cool for me to...

Maybe its a monolithic transistor array? MAT04? A chip with a number of super-matched transistors.

Thank you Beck. I'll pass your compliment along to his royal highness King Rex. :D It's power hungry so make sure your supply can handle the extra current. I'll provide more subjective listening tests at a later time. Here are the specs (National website): LME49860.html Actually I traced the...

I just nabbed a four channel version. I'll let you all know how it goes when I can try it out.

Rolls has a good reputation for small, clean, inexpensive line mixers. This one might even be enough for you. http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-RLL-MX28-LIST

I use the following things from your list: Yamaha HS80M - very satisfied with them. Echo Audio Audiofire 12 - Extremely satisfied. Audix I5 - Surprisingly crisp with a good hot signal for a dynamic. I briefly owned a Xenyx mixer. I had to send it back because FX unit kept making bursts of...

Thank you cjacek. During it's life it had many of Country Music's greats play through it including Johny Cash. So I guess that makes it a bit of a historical legend. Believe me, old Rex is getting the 1st class treatment now. I'm using only the best in terms of parts and practices. This ain't...

I think my friend you are more impatient to see this project finished than I am ;). And I am quite anxious to be done. However, please consider the SCOPE... This is a gigantic SOB. On group modules I am replacing something like 80+ resistors, 30+ cap, adding 17 bypass caps, 6 opamps, 1 LED...

Same here. When the mics came into port I got all excited until I realized just how daunting a task Chance had in packing + shipping everything. He did an excellent job of it though.

Yes but no. I like my coffee this way though :D I have hope that the computer will get as good as dedicated hardware. Maybe when people get off their asses and make Linux work for the masses... My Akai sampler has a USB port and some slick software for the PC. I can shuffle sounds back and...

Sorry to reiterate WhiteStrat, but some of the best stuff I've come up with was in the heat of the moment where I just ran to my rack of synths, plugged in headphones and went to town. While I'm beating deceased horses consider this. My bands last gig of the summer last year was almost a...
