    1972 Yorkville YSC-8

    Canadian Electronics companies coming your way! As I find the companies, I'll post them. http://www.rpelectronics.com/ Click Catalog at the top right, then speakers and accessories on the left hand side toolbar. They just have a few 8" speakers. They have a 70Volt 8" speaker with a whizzer...

    POLL: What Sample Rate/Bandwidth do you use for recording?

    Now that is interesting - I would have thought that the increase in speed would have increased the definition and precision, because you are using more surface to store less information (ala 2" 24 track at 30ips, vs 15ips.) Tim

    "Reducing Noise" in my recording

    Gecko zzed, True - he does need to work through his signal chain. It could be simply a matter of his volume too high on his soundcard, and not sending enough signal from the mixer. I've got a Mackie 1604-VLZ pro mixer, and we went through everything trying to get rid of the hiss I was getting...

    "Reducing Noise" in my recording

    +1,000%! Cheap mixers tend to add noise to recordings. Also, it could be whatever your sound card is, and most likely it is the combination of the two (mixer+soundcard). Hiss isn't caused by "external" sound sources, like an air conditioner. Tim

    POLL: What Sample Rate/Bandwidth do you use for recording?

    Glen, I wasn't necessarily talking software or hardware, but I don't see the point in purchasing something designed to do 192khz (hardware), if you are only going to do 44.1k? why go for the "extreme" if you are not going to use it's full potential. Is the RME Fireface really worth the $800...

    1972 Yorkville YSC-8

    It was late and I was tired whenI wrote that (I had only slept 3 hours since midnight on Friday.) What I meant to say was that guiatr speakers are " voiced" differently than PA speakers are - they tend to be designed to break up more (Ever heard a Green back used as a PA speaker? Ugh! Talk about...

    POLL: What Sample Rate/Bandwidth do you use for recording?

    Massive Master, I figured that since a lot of the newer gear would do 96k and 192K that most people would be using those higher rates. That really surprises me - and here I've been worrying about how I'll be able to afford the jump to 192k. Whew! That takes a lot of pressure off of me in buying...

    POLL: What Sample Rate/Bandwidth do you use for recording?

    Okay guys - What Sample Rate and Bandwidth do you use for Recording? Somebody just told me he records at 24-bit/44.1khz And that kind of surprised me - I was positive he was using at least 96 khz since he's recording in Neuendo (I just didn't see the point in spending that kind of cash for a...

    Who Destroyed Metal?

    Obviously somebody who is deaf. Michael Sweet has one of the most amazing voices in Hard Rock/Metal, and the entire band was made up of really good musicians. Tim

    Went to see Carl Palmer last night

    You know what sucks - I want to love Carl Palmer - but I just never found him to be anything exceptional. Isn't that awful?!?! I mean, I listened to Karn Evil #9 one night, and thought - big deal I could do all that when I was 15. I thought he had a cool drumkit, but I have yet to hear anything...

    Heck, look online for a Canadian distributor - I'm sure there are some up there. I'm sure there's something like Parts Express in Canada, you just need to find it, that's all. Tim

    1972 Yorkville YSC-8

    Yeah, you want PA or Musical Instrument speakers, but not guitar speakers - they will have too much of a limited range. Also, you have to keep in mind - this thing isn't going to put out a ton of low end - it's a vocal cabinet meant to cover about 150hz to around 5khz. Not a real wide range...

    Drummers, Could you help me out?

    Are you going to be playing places where your kit will be mic'd through a pro PA system? If so, the sizes of the drums in the kit doesn't really matter. Most of the major label recordings are recorded using small drums because they mic better. Tim

    You guys wanna laugh?

    It's True - GNR were the first band to use a small kit back then - Actually Steven Adler wasa killer drummer - I saw them open for Motley Crue on the Girls, Girls, Girls tour, and GNR were simply incredible. Tim

    A Whizzer cone is a separate cone that puts out highs. NOTE: (4+) means you have to buy four or more at once. Non-Whizzer 8" speakers $9.80 each.(4+) http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=290-260 A BETTER idea would be this: Buy 5 of those 8" speakers. One 8" Horn...

    You guys wanna laugh?

    These days they've made the stages so small that you almost can't use a big kit. I miss the giganto drumkits Noawadays almost everybody plays the exact same setup - locally, virtually 90% of the drummers I know use 10" & 12" rack toms, with 14"&16" floors and one 22" kick. It's kind of...
