Sure would, but for the price of those two units you'd be getting close to the price of something decent with a Firewire output. The BCA2000 is around $180 The ADA8000 is around $230 That's $410 - if I had that to spend, I'd save my money and get either an 8 Channel Hammerfall unit, or if I...

I went and looked, the one we have is a Classic 20. It is a 15-watt Tube amp and has a 10" speaker - no wonder I like that little amp so much! I don't know how old it is, my brother picked it up used for $130 bucks (I asked) - the thing looks mint to me. I don't think it ever left the original...

How large is the mp3 file? Tim

I'm with you - I'll take a tube amp any day over a Solid State one. We've got three tube amps A Peavey Classic - It may be a 30, I don't know if they made one smaller than that or not. I don't know the model but it's a little Tube, Tweed-covered practice amp, and it KILLS! Man, I would have...

Keep it simple. Here's what I used to do when I first started programming, and it totally changed my life. I got to the point where, I was able to program material and completely fool people with it. Just keep a few things in mind. When you do tom rolls - make sure there is no hihat or...

It's worth signing up for 1 BS class at a Community College, just to get the discount. You can buy the software, and then drop the classes. LOL Tim

I'll tell you what's funny, Sabian has relabeled the B8 line several times. Back in the mid-80's, the original B8 line looked and sounded identical to Zildjian A's. They were super cheap, because the Canadian Dollar was evidently super weak against the American Dollar, so if you played Sabian...

Okay, I just went and looed up the DP-01, and saw that it only allows you to record 2 tracks at once, so here is what I would do. I would set the room up just like you are playing on stage if you can. Make sure the drumkit is extremely well tuned. Mic the kick drum. Use a Condenser as an...

I'm not familiar with the DP-01, does it allow you to record 3 separate tracks at once? If so - plus the mixer into two of the line inputs, and then use whatever internal mic input you have on the DP-01 to record the third track/instrument. You will need a headphone amplifier of some type to...

You can mount one under the drummer, and get a decent spread of the whole kit. I have only done one "theater" type of performance, and it was for an old time radio show type of broadcast. The guy behind it got the idea from an old issue of db magazine. Anywya, we used Radio Shack PZM's and...

Yes, it is a good combination....but you may also want to seriously look at the D6 for the kick mic. I haven't personally used one, but I have some friends who have them and they love them.... especially if you are doing Metal....I kind of find it hard to believe that they'd choose them over the...

Bwahahaha! I just noticed - this thread is 2 years old. Hahaha Tim

Well, if the option was a Mackie 16x8 mixer or the Carvin MX1688, I'd take the Carvin any day of the week. Granted, it may not be as quiet as the Mackie - I don't know, I'd have to do a listening test, but I prefer the EQ on the Carvin over any of the Mackie EQ's. I have quite a bit of Carvin...

They were discontinued because of price and weight - they weigh like a billion pounds. The 1688 is completely modular in design, so each channel is on it's own circuit board. Most modern economy mixers are all on 1 circuit board, or they have several channels on a block..say 4 channels on one...

No offense, but have you ever even seen a Carvin MX1688? The reason I ask is because you are talking about something you have no idea about. The MX1688 is a good mixer. The real issue is - how much has it been abused - keep in mind Carvin hasn't made these for close to 20 years. Here's an add...

What is it specifically that you are looking for in a kick drum mic? Tim

Do you have a parametric EQ? If so, you can thin out the bandwidth, and sweep it until you find the frequency (I use a DOD spectrum analyzer for visual verification of this) and then begin spreading out the width of the Eq's bell, just enough to take out most of the ping - I still would leave...

Acrylic drums don't record as well as wooden ones right off the bat. I played Ludwig Vistalites (Acrylic) drums for years, and used an Acrylic snare, and you have to do some serious tuning to make sure you've got rid of the ringing in the snare, the best bet is to muffle it, or do what I did -...

Mindset, Click on the Soldering 101 in my signature and you'll learn how to make guitar and mic cables. :D Tim

I'm a DIY'er when it comes to cables. For me, it's more economical for me to buy a high grade cable and black Neutrik ends, and do it myself - when I had my studio going, I had a little repair space set up, and I made a cable jig - which was essentially an experiment's box with every kind of...
