    Fed's raid Gibson ..now I've seen it all

    Well, now I know what the Fed's are doing with all those confiscated guitars. Looks like a parallel program to the ATF;s "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal. Only this time...it's guitar "walking" iowahawk: New Scandal at DoJ as Illegal Guitars End Up In Hands of Mexican Drug Lords...

    Google Sketchup is Awesome for Studio Planning.

    Yea, Sketchup is great for modeling your studio. Me and a few others have been posting Sketchups here for years. But when it comes to actual detailing of complex elements, it really shines. I couldn't have designed my computer enclosure without modeling the modded computer cases them self in the...

    Fed's raid Gibson ..now I've seen it all

    For the record...you are naive. It's LYRICS I'm talking about. The Department of Homeland Security is now putting song writers on the "watch list" due to anti-government lyrics. I don't have the link at the moment...but I'll be back.

    Unfreakingbelieable. If you travel internationally with your instrument...better document when it was made...or one of those Big Bang of Stupid TSA agents might seize your guitar. Geeezus...what's next. Drones monitoring what you play? Fucking feds. Guitar Frets: Environmental Enforcement...

    What's your Tascam product?

    Well, I have a 42b. Had it for 7 years and never used it. Thinking about selling it if I can get what I paid for it. Almost mint. $350 And it comes with a matching Tascam roll around rackmount stand. If interested, shoot me a PM.

    Wow, that was fast. Isn't the Internet cool!!:D Yea, if I understood it.:confused::D Ok, I'm asking.:p In regards to this... :confused: Hmmmm, that "seems" to be a contridiction. If a small single semicylinder, say like the ones in your picture, equal a value of 1, but are "not much...

    Diffusor-Absorber Design

    Hey John! Thanks for chiming in. I saw those same type corners on your design for the "outback" studio. :D But I have a question for you. To what extent do Slots/Slats actually "diffuse"? And in corners, what advantage do they have vs simple "superchunks" and a thin plastic scrim fro HF...

    Diffusor-Absorber Design

    First off, these are simply Polys, with some HF absorption via the holes/batting. Poly's do NOT diffuse...they only scatter sound in different directions. Lets define a diffuse sound field. According to Alton Everest, a diffuse sound field is one where sound decays equally at all frequencies...

    My new Tascam M3700...

    I did the same thing a few years back. Made a straight through trip from the Southern Oregon coast down to LA and straight back to get my M3700. 1700 miles. Talk about being a zombie! I was totally zonked by the time I got home. But it was worth it. I love my M3700. Here it is now. I was...

    Building furniture..................

    The post you referring too was posted in..2002! I doubt if the author will care at this point.:D However, I'll bite. So, are you referring to "type" of wood as "species" of wood, as if they are "solid"? In this day and age, very rarely do woodworkers use solid planks, especially if they are...

    My Quasi-Recording/Mix Room Build

    That's odd. The post in question suggests the contrary. Besides, define "too old". This forum has witnessed my own adolescent ravings many times, and I'm 66.:D

    My Quasi-Recording/Mix Room Build

    Well, that's up to you to determine. I thought I'd offer them as it seemed important. If not..I'm not wiring your studio so take it with a grain of salt. There are other considerations though. Like OPEN ENDED SHIELDS on some cables and on some Tascam gear...HOT PIN 2 VS HOT PIN 3. I won't...

    music computer

    The key here is expansion. Are you intending to expand your setup to include RECORDING? Band in a box is only editing existing midi/audio files to create new music. Actual recording is an entirely different animal which places other performance requirements on a computer. The audio interface...
