It's certainly a less than ideal situation, but I've gotten by with multiple headphones by running from the mixer's tape output to anything with rca ins, outs, and a headphone out. You can daisy chain them to supply headphone mixes to as many things as possible. Another mixer, a couple of old...

To my knowledge, the Akai can only export that kind of data through the SCSI port, not through the S/PDIF. It seems the key difference we're talking about has to do with the difference between a mixdown and a back-up. You can indeed dump stereo tracks out of the box to just about anything...

I don't really think that any back-up media can really compare to CDR/W. Sure the drive costs a little more than most others, but the cost of media more than makes up for the initial cost. I don't have a SCSI yet, but its coming in the very near future. Actually, I'm making 2 of my friends I...

...and me! If you're in something of a bar-band and intend to use the demo strictly as a sampler to get gigs, then recording covers will likely be worth your while. In any other situation, its essentially wasted energy. In sum, I completely agree with this newbie simpleton called Blue Bear...

Aside from the process of creating them (glass master versus laser) I'd love to hear some of your perceived differences between CD and CDR. I don't get it.

Sondriven: The compressor on my DPS only works as when the effect is set to insert. That means you only get one track per compressor. A lot like real life, I suppose. Then again, you can do your compression and save the track, move the uncompressed one into your v-tracks so you can readjust...

Bruce, He's right. There is a market for 7" vinyl releases here in the states too. On a very underground level, I know a few people who have put out vinyl releases of local/regional bands and done pretty well. Split 7's are very popular for underground bands. On a somewhat more high...

This is just a thought, but if you're tracking drums is it that big a deal that the guitar actually sound good? I know in a somewhat pro environment, you might consider it important to have a good guitar sound running to the drummer for the sake of energizing his/her performance. But at home...

That's a pretty interesting question. The one record that immediately comes to mind is the 1st Porno for Pyros. I really like most of the songs, and I think its a great record. Whether it was a mastering issue, I don't know, but I've never heard anything sound so squashed. Also, while...

JS, I've been meaning to ask you, are you familiar with Icenyne insulation? Its a Canadian company, but there are contractors here in the US, wonder if there are any in Oz. If you haven't heard of it before, its a heavy foam insulation that is blown in liquid form on bare studding in new...

Any fans of Grant Lee Phillips? Mooshie- Good picks. Welcome to the bbs!

Like Vurt says, use a cheap mic through a boombox, crank it, and mic the speakers. Ever heard of the band At the Drive-In? I saw them live last year and they even used the boombox trick on stage. Fucking crazy live band, too! If they're ever playing anywhere near you, go see them.

I hope not! If that's the case, I ought to hurry up and get the version 1.52 upgrade. Do you know anything about it? There's no readily available information on the website.

Robert Jaybird: You misspelled paragraph, entertaining, and used the wrong form of their! :D:D:D Okay Salvatore I'll be a sport here. The ADAT studio pack is a good start. It is a pretty good foundation to begin building upon, as ADAT has been a standard medium in pro studios for quite some...

Some of us are still studying, eh Hornet?

They were the poor fella's who lost a couple of band members in a tourbus accident right? If my memory serves me, a bunch of kind of famous bands made a benefit record for them. Sad story.

I'm only a part-time drummer so take my advice with a grain of salt. One of my friends used to have pearl exports and now has Tama Rockstars, so I can do a little comparison. As far as a hardware issue, I think Pearl still uses through-shell tom mounts. The Tama's have more of a free...

John Weigel, Good call on Nels Cline. I'll admit, I have very limited exposure to his work. He plays lots of guitar on Mike Watt's (ex-minutemen and firehose) first solo record. Really out-of-this-world playing! It really is light-years away from the rock stuff I'm accustomed to. I...

Hmm...Now I remember why I usually don't like talking to other guitar players. I'm not acutally taking real offense, but it seems that a good many of my faves are getting knocked here. I happen to really like sloppy guitarists like Page, Jimi, Slash, J. Mascis, Neil, Johnny Greenwood (you can...

Good call Jeff! You beat me to it.
