Hey G, you beat me to it, but I already wrote it, so here it goes ;) I'd go about it like this: Are you going to play live (jam, gig)? Is there even a remote possibility that you're going to play live, instead of just doing recording? yes: Buy an amp. Stop. no: Proceed. You already got a...

Maybe try a Diezel Herbert or Diezel VH4? They are a bit pricey though, but if you are thinking about having the head custom built, I guess that may not matter that much. Unless you're DIYing it ;) Cheers Tim

Some people don't like the click sounds because they are to synthetic or they feel the click is too "accurate". I think this could best be compared to a drummer listening to the click instead of just going with it. The performance lags or sounds unnatural. Some bands just have their drummer...

I don't know when the conversion from floating point to fixed point math happens or if that matters at all. I think the "good" peak limiter you're referring to would then need to emulate a DAC and do some oversampling to analyze where those peaks are. Do you know a peak limiter that does avoid...

I know you didn't mean it but I have to disagree nevertheless ;) I am no pro in the recording area but I read an article about intersample peaks in sound & recording magazine recently and did some googling. I found another simple article about the problem of intersample peaks. It's quite...

I use Reaper, too. Really easy to use IMHO.

Hey John, thanks for your advice! As you might have guessed I'm in the early stages of planning and I'm still collecting information and reading a lot about the theoretical background. I've been able to gather a lot of information from Sayers' forum & site and of course from your site and the...

May I throw some light on this misunderstanding? I didn't get it at first but I'm no "native speaker" so please forgive me ;) Where John is talking about the corners or "edges" where two adjacent walls meet (think V), Agent47 adds the 8 corners where 3 walls intersect for good measure (think...

Oh, I didn't scrub them, I put them in the dishwasher :D Honestly, it was more then 500 knobs / fader-buttons, and I really didn't want to use a toothbrush on them. I figured it would turn out ok, since I have seen people clean their computer keyboards in the dishwasher (only the plastic housing...

I just had to clear my head a little from all the thinking I've been doing around my "complex basement studio" thread, where I'm pondering how to utilize two rooms for control and tracking. There's nothing better suited for clearing the head than a little console cleaning. All those nice contact...

Ok, I didn't like the first draft, so here is another draft. Now the console is facing the other wall and I added a nice large window for communication. I've put some gear into the room to get a feeling for the size and if it's going to feel crammed. Does anyone have an idea if I did something...

Sketched up a control room draft based on one of John Sayers small studio examples. There is no window to the rehearsal room yet. Ideas anyone? The sketchup file. Cheers Tim

I have ordered many times from thomann over the past years and I have had no issues so far. As I am in Germany it usually take 1 to 3 days until the shipment arrives. I had to deal with customer service once, when an amp stand arrived that was missing one locking screw. I phoned them and they...

Hey, at least I think it's going to be kind of difficult to do because of the building's constraints. Some background first: In two years I am going to move into a house. My brother (drums) already lives on the ground floor. I (guitar, recording) will occupy the upper/2nd floor + attic. The...

Hey miroslav, yes I have the schematics. It's a printed version of a PDF which I got from German Teac support. I was a little disappointed by the quality but it's better than nothing. I sent a PM to Studio Dweller at gearslutz forum because he mentioned he wanted to sell his M3500 with manual...

Hey again, I thought I had seen them but it looks as if I might have "interpreted" the number and morphed it into what chips I already knew ;) Actually there are JRC 4580D chips in it. I don't have the console opened anymore so I'm relying on the images of the preamp and eq section here...

I finally got around to measure the voltages of the PS-3500. nominal | measured ================== +15,00V | +14,96V -15,00V | -14,99V +12,00V | +11,87V +08,00V | +08,04V +48,00V | +47,89V I couldn’t notice any 50Hz ripple as there was too much HF (in the range of about 20mV) from my computer...

Hey :) Yeah, I figured that, so I didn't try to soak it through the pot shaft but instead tried to soak it through what I think might be a small but accessable gab between the plastic body and the metal cover. I don't know if it took but I do hope so. In the picture you can see where I tried...

So, that's what you get when you want to do the right thing... :confused: I should have listened to my gut feeling when I applied it to the first fader and I thought how this mess is going to improve things. Very "luby". If it turns out bad I'll clean it up again (at least on the faders). I also...

Hi miroslav, yeah, we'll see if something needs replacing. I'll be able to get some new batteries for my multimeter tomorrow but the caps all looked very good so I'm confident nothing needs replacing. I'll measure the voltages and ripple nevertheless. Nice work with the cleaning, I did the...
