I'd agree with R.E. My logic would be, the SM 57 is usually used as an instrument mic, e.g. guitar amp or snare drum--something that's loud and punchy, which the SM 57 has a distinguished record of being good at. You don't want it to sound like a condenser mic. However, you want a vocal mic to...

Last thing I want to do is resuscitate the old debate on analog vs digital sound. But last week my kids found my old turntable in a closet and for the fun of it we hooked it up. I hasn't been run in at least ten years. We pulled out a bunch of old records and tried it out. Now this is weird: IT...

Here's a few reasons I enjoy my analog setup: 1. No computer crashes 2. No hardware incompatibilities 3. No layers of menus 4. No upgrades 5. It works every time 6. Not superseded by the next version every X months 7. You can see the reels turn--cool I am not against digital; quite the...

Do yourself a great big favor, unplug that sucker and get it down to a qualified technician! One thing you don't want to fool around with is equipment that is leaking sizzle-juice. It could whack a heck of a hole into your day, redline your LEDs, clip your inputs, deguass your head, etc. in ways...

Neutrik has a line of 6-pin XLR type wall receptacles (I'm assuming you need this to power your tube mic). You might try contacting them through their website for a dealer near you.

CJWalker, no sarcasm intended in my previous comment; sorry if it came across that way. Your question is very legitimate. No question we want good, solid, well performing cables and connectors in our studios. The brands recommended above will provide good shielding, strong construction...

Excellent, and very original sound. Hats off. What language is it?

"Warmer" cable? C'mon folks...maybe it's the extra insulation on the cable that keeps the signal warmer as it passes through those cold basement walls...

I have to agree, there's no sound like it.

Last Friday nite at a party we ran out of amps so I plugged my acoustic with pickup into a bass amp and (maybe the Tequila helped) but it it sounded great. The graphic eq on the amp permitted boosting the highs to get the presence back, and whereas most acoustic guitars are boomy in standard PAs...

Just another thought--for the type of guitar you're looking for I'd be looking mainly at features such as size, durability and of course playability (if it has lousy action, who wants it...). It should have good intonation and be fairly solid so it can hold up to some travel. There are some...

If I had spare change I'd get one just to tote around while travelling, camping, etc. They're not bad little guitars, but they definitely have their own sound. Kinda jangly and tinny. But when you're drinking beer around a campfire and singing old Beatles tunes, or practicing your scales in a...

Aren't you glad now you didn't wack your mixer with a bat?

Did you do this in Powerchords Pro?

Maybe keep a fire extinguisher nearby when your DI blows up...unless you are using a device built to take a powered signal such as a Hughes & Kettner Red Box or something like it.

I'd agree on the Deville--but as Jim Marquard said, try the 410 compared to the 212--I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the former. You're dead on about Valvestate--all I can say about them is that they stink. PPPhht.

Good questin. The problem with the crappy ones is you won't hear the detail that you will on your better monitors. Mixing on good monitors gives you a baseline from which to make minor concessions to the range of problems lesser speakers may present down the food chain. However, mixing on bad...

One other thing--if you turn down the FX on the return side does the original signal (ie the sending channel) go back to one side? In other words, is it just the effected return that makes it sound like you're getting the original signal on both sides? If you run a signal your same signal into...

Let me be sure I understand the problem--if you run a signal any channel, assign it to your main outputs (L-R), centre the pan pot, and make sure both L-R main faders are up, no effects, you only get one side? And if you send effects from that channel, you hear both sides? (I'm assuming you're...

My apologies in advance if this is too obvious...but are you familiar with the board and is the "Pan" pot centered? If you know this stuff, again my apologies, but this could be a newbie error...
