    Live Sound Rig

    Turbosound does offer powered speakers, but I am not sure where they land in their price range. Personally, I do not find powered speakers to be much if any easier to setup and tear down. In fact, often, I find it more of a pain to do so. With an amp rack, you only have to get power to one...

    Good Place to Buy Monitors that's NOT Musician's Friend

    I have had good dealings with Sweetwater, Vintage King, Sonic Circus, Front End Audio, and audiomidi. What I mean by good service is not just that things were timely and proper, but that the sales people I dealt with were knowledgable, seemed trustworthy, and were able to answer questions and...

    waves presets???

    I do think the best thing is to do it yourself, however, I also think that trying some presets can be very helpful. For example, some of the add on presets for the waves SSL stuff are pretty handy (is it the Jack Joseph Puig ones? ). The kick drum preset from that collection is actually pretty...

    Live Sound Rig

    Before i say anything else, I should mention that one of the companies I work for is a dealer for several products I would reccomend. That being said, a couple of the lines were also chosen for a reason. First off, I would give some serious consideration to the Turbosound TXD line. Not only...

    sonar/protools sound different

    I think there is one big thing here that has been overlooked. Music and peoples opinions of it is very subjective. We are talking about trying to compare two things here that were in different audio platforms, on different days, through who knows what other different equipment, if the tracks...

    Ribbon Mics, Backsides, and fliping phases

    Even if you aren't reording with two mics at once, what if you are doing something like layering tracks? You are still better off to reverse the polarity to keep things in proper relationship. I guess a better question is why not reverse the polarity?

    Best Pre for under 2500$?

    There are still some places I beleive that are doing the buy 4 modules and get a 6 space lunchbox for free deal. You should be able to find your self 4 modules in the $2500 price range, or at least pretty close. I have an OSA 11 space prototype rack and love it. The power supply that comes...

    Alesis 3630 or Focusrite Penta

    Not to beat a dead horse, but I have had the displeasure of the using the 3630's on more occasions than I can remember. Honestly, I can't think of a worse compressor out there. As for any good reviews, my gut tells me that there are some unspoken things there, like complete lack of experience...

    Question for the Tube Guru's

    I will look through my stock and see what EF86's (if any) that I have left. So far all fo the people I have dealt seem to be in agreement that any of the vintage tubes just have a much larger and sweeter sound than the newer tubes available.

    1 Terabyte recording drive? too large?

    Maybe I am wrong about this, but I was always under the impression that the more important factor was sustained throughput and not actual seek times.

    Recommend an SDC - flat response - high SPL - stereo pair - weather proof

    So far I have been very happy with the sound quality of the Peluso SD mics. They always seem to have a pretty true sound, and I think they far exceed their price to performance ratio. The durability on them is good, they seem buiult very well. They do offer 3 position HPF's, and 3 position...

    If you own the SCXD, you should RE-BIAS it (even stock tubes)! TONE!

    Keep in mind that with cheaper amps come cheaper parts which can often correlate to less consistency. All tube or not, if you have power tubes, then calculating your proper bias range is a good thing. Remember, maybe "BillM's" tranny is outputting a little different. If you have the tools to...

    If you own the SCXD, you should RE-BIAS it (even stock tubes)! TONE!

    Not an uncommon problem. Marshall likes to send there stuff out pretty hot as well. Adds more gain, but tends to reduce clarity and punch. One thing to consider though, I would reccomend not blindly biasing to some certain number, but learn how to calculate what your specific bias needs or...

    Celestion Vintage 30 in fantastic shape

    Bypassing the preamp on my mackie board.

    Wouldn't you want to have signal on the ring since that is what the channel is looking as far as signal goes? Also, I beleive that if you just run your preamped signal to the line input that you are actually skipping the preamp part of the circuit and just hitting the line buffer. Without...

    Anyone check out the new Crate V100 head?

    I would be a little wary of buying it. I have the little 1x12" combo (V18) and it is pretty much worthless. SO many issues I don't even know where to start. Reverb? Uck. Speaker? plastic worthless peice. Sound quality? pretty bad. Even after a tube and speaker swap which helped a...

    What is the best hard drive brand?

    The reason I go through so many drives is because I hardly ever delete anything. I have lots of projects and I save all takes, good or bad so hard drives fill quickly. Rather then deleting, I just add another drive, and remove one from the system. Therefore, I have a shelf and a drawer full...
