How about Just doing it and letting us know how it worked.

I'd agree flatwounds don't have the brilliance you want (unless you're a iazz player). I usually get a light fret dressing about every 2 years. If you play lots of rhythem down at the neck end you'll get a lot of wear on the higher frets to the point where you need a full fret repair. I go in...

It's only the high end mixers that may have optional compressors and in some cases some effects built into the channel strips. You won't see that on most equipment owned by people on this board. Usually these effects and processors are external (outboard) to the mixer and they're fed the signal...

Think of a cigarette filter, or any other filter. It takes stuff out you don't want (or do want but pretend not to want). Whatever. Assuming you're talking about your mixer, there's often a low pass filter and a high pass filter. The low pass filter means the low stuff will pass but the highs...

Also eq out any "note" that may be present in the kick so it's just a thud. Then the bass notes will stand out but be nicely reinforced with the kick.

You're experience what's known as the "proximity effect" of cardiod dynamic mics. Here's more information about it: http://arts.ucsc.edu/EMS/Music/tech_background/TE-20/Proximity_Effect.html The essence is that anytime you place such a mic close to a source (usually within an inch or so) you...

It's finally happened: I'm speechless.

If you can make it sound ok on Auratones, you're definitely on the right track!

What a hoot. Great thread. Prism Ozark Mountain Daredevils Crowbar I Braineater Five Man Electrical Band War Frankie Goes to Hollywood and (gag) Serendipity

I've had a lot of success with the C1000s personally. It's dynamic and open, great for overheads. Good mic for its price range.

It seems to me you're getting ahead of yourself. My advice (for whatever it's worth) is to back off the gearophilia for awhile and start working on your recording. If as you say you're not sure what to listen for in higher end recording gear, you don't need it at this point. Start with what you...

Poo, maybe if you take a pre aux send from the channel, run it through the compressor, return the compressed signal back into another channel, and assign only that second channel to your main bus, then you still retain the full channel functionality on the compressed signal (e.q., monitoring, fx...

C'mon, what about Ion Paul Iones (honest, the letter that comes between i and k in the alphabet died on my keyboard). So read the I as a . Thanks. My son spilled coke on the keyboard, the little erk.

Did a bass gig at a blues bar a few weeks ago and plugged into their house bass rig. It used a Groove Tubes preamp, something I never knew existed. It sounded absolutely spectacular. Gave "warmth" a whole new meaning. Funny thing is I came across an identical used model in a music store...

I saw Jimmy Page using an Orange amp playing with the Black Crowes. Jes' an interesting tidbit for your consideration...

Thanks Emeric, good idea and I'll check it out.

Nice & simple. Modal changes from minor to major add interest. Good work.

Just a thought--if you only need this occasionally (I've mounted this hobby horse before) why not rent one when you need it. Very few pieces of equipment do everything well. Each synth, module, etc. has some great sounds, some ok ones and a whole lot of kaka. I do the same with guitars--I'd love...

I have a perfectly good mid-80's Ibanez digital delay pedal (Model # is simply DDL) that I use all the time. The switch is kaput but I hate to throw this baby away. I get attached to these stupid material objects for some inexplicable reason. Anyone know where I could find a switch for this...

Nice work Skippy, thanks for the good info. It makes all kinds of sense.
