    fixing a mackie 1220

    It's unlikely an op amp will go bad on its own in a destructive way. The power supply is probably OK, or it would have fried other channels too. Resistors seldom go bad. I'd check the capacitors in that channel first, to see if one is open or shorted. However, you'll have to remove or decouple...

    fixing a mackie 1220

    The crux of the matter is "Why did it fry?" If you simply replace it, you'll likely fry that one too. Check the integrity of the other components in that channel - the nice thing is you have other identical circuits nearby to help troubleshoot this one. At the worst you have a mixer with 11...

    Master Writer 2

    It looks very handy, but I think for me it takes away from what I enjoy most about writing songs - writing the song. It looks like you can get lots of words, phrases and ideas to choose from, but for me it would take away from the creative process of thinking up things on my own. Also, it seems...

    Cthulian Dreams, criticism (preferably constructive) much appreciated!

    I'm afraid I can't see music - only hear it, so unless you have an audio demo I can't give you any feedback, and I imagine many here are in the same boat. If you want feedback on the lyrics, write them out line by line without the music.

    HR Songwriting Contest #3 - Vote Now!

    Looks like this place has been infected. I'd say discount the votes of anyone who registered on this site after the contest started, which at this point looks like most of the votes. :D

    HR Songwriting Contest #3 - Enter your song here

    One morning, many years ago, I closed up my bass case which had been lying open on the floor, and took it to band practice. I got there, strapped it on, and when I went to plug the cable into the bass, liquid ran out all over it and my hand. I posted a query about this in a bass newsgroup, and...

    Swap K47 for K67 voltage question

    I don't know anything about the capsule question, but you won't be able to measure voltage at the capsule due to the high resistance there (G ohm) - your measuring device will suck the electrons from the circuit, giving you a falsely low voltage reading. However, if you know the resistance of...

    Help with Oktava ML-52 II please

    Don't give up on it yet. What is the part# of the transformer? Are you sure it has the correct specs and that it's hooked up correctly? If all the connections are good in the mic, I'd suspect the transformer - there's no other electronic component that would be bad. (edit: unless the magnet is...

    Help with Oktava ML-52 II please

    I'm not familiar with the specific mic, but first I would use an ohmmeter to check the continuity from the ribbons to the transformer, through the primary and secondary of the transformer (and that there is no short between the transformer windings), and through the connector. Look at any solder...

    Cats out of the bag...

    Just my opinion, like I said - nothing to do with "rules". Your right, if he doesn't show how he's building it and the thinking behind it, I won't be following this thread. I don't want to build one - I want to see how he builds it. Without this, it holds no interest for me. And he hasn't even...
