    getting the whole guitar in tune

    I've played a guitar with that system. A rep brought one into the shop I used to work at. All the guitar players agreed everything was so in tune up the neck it sounded wrong. Like too good. :p It takes some getting used to, since we all unconsciously tweak strings a bit as we play to bring...

    A few questions about the DAV BG1

    I stroke with a broad brush.:p Everybody has their things they are passionate about. The DAV from many accounts is a pretty good pre. And I don't have a take on the build quality and parts used, because I've never seen one, and really don't care anyway- I am a pretty strong believer in...

    I don't dis the amp, just the douchebags that own them. Kind of like Macs.

    I think I screwed up my amp...?

    Snapping and popping could be some low-level arcing across a tube socket, more likely a fried cap or resistor. It could even be the output trannie, but since it's not blowing the fuse, probly not.

    XENYX Series preamps

    Xenyx is Behri's answer to Mackie's Onyx. They are both better than other products by those two. FWIW, I use a Behri mx9000 a bunch, it sounds way better than the VLZ Pro crap. I have a VLZ, I like it, VLZ Pro was a step back for Mackie in every way- sound, build quality, and reliability.

    Could any of you

    The Shure and Crown websites both have a ton of great info. And of course, the thread at the top of this page is very informative, a must-read actually.

    Ukulele

    Used to be you could get a nice Favilla for $50-60, I think they've gone up recently. Favilla was a maker in the early-mid 1900's, very playable ukes.

    Ok, I need a decent mic stand

    The Tama also comes in black, it's a great stand, though a bit heavy. Not an issue if it's for home. Other than that, there is only one choice for tripod boom stands, K&M. Atlas makes some good stands and boom arms, they have ones with counterweights that are great for really heavy mics. Cheap...

    effect of cold on my gear

    It's not the heat, it's the humidity, like the old saying goes. Gradual temperature changes aren't usually a huge deal.

    Drum Isolation on Stage (pics)

    Again, pre-existing cushions and carpet are going to meet the legal standards. And danger to life aside, that's what you want to look at, the legal standards. Astoebe may be in violation of local fire codes, and therefore unknowingly be exposing his church to liability in the event that...

    Mackie VLZpro XDR preamp question (for those who have one)

    1) It's not hate. It's that Mackie stuff, in the big scheme of things, isn't really considered excellent. Mackie gear is totally usable. Their mixers are laid out reasonably well. And compared to many other budget mixers, which they certainly are, they are built well and perform well. You will...

    Mackie VLZpro XDR preamp question (for those who have one)

    Why the hell are you asking about Mackies then? -16? You sure about that? Anyway- I've never really paid much attention, but you can hit them pretty hard- if you clip, use a pad, that's the way it's done! :)

    Tube amp Cable?

    Read some more, and come back later.:) Signals don't degrade merely from passing through cable, you can make a telephone call to China on 12,000 miles of cable and hear just fine. There is something else going on. Hint: resistance affects current, not voltage.

    Earthworks Kickpad?

    According to that silly ad, the A/T POS20 is a great kick mic!:p

    Calling all vintage fender heads!

    If you want it to be like the original, grab any two random piece of crap speakers you find lying around and throw them in there, that's what Fender did.
