THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! That helps me a lot... Its people like you who make this BBS kick ass!! Very informative! I can't thank you enough! I'll definitely let you know my decision... and I'll probably post a revised setup sometime soon. Thanks again, Ryan

Hello everyone, I have been trying to decide on a good setup for under $6,000 for the longest time... and now I finally have what I think will be a pretty good setup. The only thing that I didn't include in the list below is mic stands. If anyone has any suggestions or notices anything essential...

Bruce is right, an AKG D112 is going to be best for getting the kick sound youre looking for... the d112's are killer.. -ryan

I'll help! Hi Brian, how does a 10 or 20 dollar donation sound? I'm close to broke myself, otherwise I'd send more money... Hopefully some other people will pitch in. -Ryan

I love my mapex drums Hi CJ! I've played mapex drums for several years now, and I love em!!! I personally think that they're the best drum company out there.. the only problem with mapex is their customer service....anyway, I started out playing a mars series kit at first, and now i have an 8...

Uh oh.... Hi Brian, Unfortunately, I can't view your site either. It may just be server trouble... Lets hope thats the case... You should probably check with the company that hosts your site and see what the deal is... usually when it's server trouble, the site won't be down for long... If it...

Hello all, Does anyone know if the Groove Tube AM11 mics are any good? If they are good, what characteristics make it a good mic? I would only want to use it for vocals... -Ryan

Hello everyone, After reading over all of Rolands available documentation, I have yet another question about the VS-1880. How would it be possible to mic up an eight piece drum kit with a VS-1880? Obviously two XLR inputs wouldnt cut it and I have been told to get a separate mixer. What would be...

Thanks John! Thanks for the response! I'll review those formulas again (i've looked at them before, but it was a while ago) and maybe they'll help me more this time. Thanks again! -Ryan

Hello everyone... I have a question for all of you experts out there. What formulas would I use to figure out how I need to acoustically treat a given room? For example, say our good friend John Sayers is contracted to acoustically treat a room that is 10'X25', what formulas are used to decide...

Hello everyone, I am seriously considering purchasing a Roland VS-1880... BUT I need a little clarification first. Is it true that there are only two XLR inputs!?!?! I've done some research on this thing, but the description concerning that always seems to be vague. Any detailed descriptions of...

Hello everyone, I just recently recieved a drum kit that I ordered about 6 months ago. Its an 8 piece double bass Mapex Saturn Pro kit, and its killer!! I got a Gibraltar double bass rack with it and two Axis A pedals. Definitely my dream set up. I was just wondering if anyone else out there...

If you want that Pantera/Fear Factory sound (both VERY good bands by the way ;) a good start is the "HardAtk" setting in the bass drum library and tune it down 1. This gives a good fast punchy bass drum sound thats deep but not boomy. One thing you have to keep in mind when trying to get the...
