    Is a mic cable really necessary?

    i'm using a jetpack to boost my signal. then i'm sending it to my daw with laserbeams rather than adat lightpipe because laserbeams give me a warmer sound.

    Recording Live Performances at Clubs -- combining equiptment

    HangDawg, i was just going to suggest that. you can use the inserts on a mixer to go to an external board/daw. just trs out of the inserts into your daw. it'll bypass the channel faders and you should get a healthy signal off the board preamps. Using multiple busses is also an option. my...

    Excessive String Breakage

    if you're breaking the same string on 2 different guitars then i would guess its something with your technique. Have you changed anything about the way you play? pick thickness? strum patterns? strap length? there was a point when i was breaking my acoustic e string often. i found that it was...

    mic damage without pop filter

    $15 is not a lot for a popfilter i paid $30 for my last one. it just uses a nylon screen. but i can replace the screen if it gets dirty. you can use one of those circular knitting frames/embroidery hoops and some nylon pantyhose for a popfilter. then just find a way to hang it in front of your...

    Guitar Amp suggestions

    i have a princetone chorus as well as the princeton reverb. they are completely different amps. the princeton chorus is a newer model solid state amp with (2) 10 inch speakers. the chorus and reverb circuits are pretty good too. i have no idea why they gave this amp a princeton label though. It...

    Best Capo

    i use kyser because one of my capos is cut down. i've cut it to open up both e-strings along with the b. its easier for me to change a kyser in a live situation too.

    Using multiple mics at once on vocals...

    phasing occurs because the sound takes longer to get to one mic than another. if you put the two microphones right next to eachother you won't get any phasing problems.

    Best cheap 10-15w amp?

    if space and money is a problem i would still recommend looking for an old fender champ on ebay. the vox ad30 does sound pretty good.

    vox tonelab w/tube?

    its solid state. there is an extremely marginal relation to volume and tone in any solid state amp. so i think what you are actually experiencing is the natural compression your ears create at louder amp volumes. i've played around quite a bit with the line6 spider II and i didn't like it one...

    vox tonelab w/tube?

    its not a power amp. its a preamp. the plan is to have the tube produce some of the qualities of a tube power amp that can then be powered by a solid state amp. they are trying to get tube power amp tones out of a starved-plate amp modeler going into a solid state amp

    Best cheap 10-15w amp?

    ok, so you say you want a 10-15 watt amp. the only reason i would see in wanting a small amp like this would be if it were a tube amp. with solid state amps you can play at any low volume and always get the same tone. from what i understand there is minimul volume to tone relationship in solid...

    vox tonelab w/tube?

    the reason you are seeing the tube glow so brightly without a warm up time is because they are using a starved plate design. its the same type of tube circuitry used in the cheap mic preamps (presonus tubepre etc.). this can be slightly warmer than an all analog preamp circuit but still not as...

    Sennheiser e609 guitar cabinet microphone

    i use my e609 a lot when i play out. i just put it right up against the grill and to the edge of the cone. i'm playing through a fender princeton reverb (10 inch speaker) so i need all the bass reponse i can get. up against the grill utilizes the proximity effect and i get better bass by putting...

    Most enviable/sought after guitar tone

    hardrock: i'd have to go with the guitar sounds on lateralus by tool. absolutely amazing sounds metal: not too sure. i know the more popular pickup/amp setups are humbuckers into a marshall or mesa. if using the mesa it has to be with a diode rectifier. the tube rectifier won't allow a fast...

    Guitar: who are the new gunslingers?

    haha, thats hillarious. i never heard anyone call it Angry Christian Music. Screaming is ok, when in its place. I'm not too fond of the growling but i can definitely get passed it. As I Lay Dying Haste the Day and if you want to hear something absolutely chaotic listen to "Everything is Alive...

    Best cheap 10-15w amp?

    cheap? i would say a vox ad15. i've played around with one and they don't sound that bad. it doesn't compare to my fender princeton reverb but its also 1/5 the price. the vox definitely sounds better than the line6 modeling amps. if you can shell out $200 i suggest you find an old fender champ...

    Best Acoustic Guitar Strings

    i used the elixer polywebs a few times when i just started playing and wasn't too impressed with them. i enjoyed the fact that they lasted a long time but they just didn't have the tone i was looking for. i haven't tried nanoweb's yet. lately i've been set on martin sp's (light) for my...

    Dimebag Darrel slain....

    the problem isn't the fact that they have guns though. its that they are unstable. i think he would be able to do the same thing with a knife. i understand that a gun is a lot more powerful and that a crazed lunatic could hurt more people with a gun than a knife, but i have the feeling this guy...
