I hear Godin is goign to produce a 12-string electric as well. May wanna hang out 'til they do and see how much they are going for. Godin has always been a damned good quality, underrated instrument imo.

Hooked on Conklin guitars that is. My bassist turned me onto them. Not a Limp Bizkit/Godsmack wannabe, but I do play 7-strings now. Mainly for accented range. The action and craftsmanship in these guitars are amazing! Tonal versatilty - OMG! :D I used to be a Fender Strat only player. I've put...

I have two Fender Strats for sale: PM me or post here for inquiries. First one- Color: Transluscent red cellophane stain Frets: 22 medium frets Neck: Rosewood Hardware: Gold finish. Standard Strat hardware Pickups: EMG 85 at bridge (humbucker) EMG singles in middle & neck Hard case included...

My beef with Behringer is the poor manufacturing. AS is my beef with Mackie. They use surface mount 4560 op amps. This lil guy's are good opamps and very clean for pre's. The problem? They routed signals up underneath them. Some with 90 degree angles in the routes. A no-no in laying out a...

Read associated literature while on the toilet. Been proven things read while sitting in the can stick in the brain more predominately. **Now if anyone here says they carry their laptop with wireless LAN into the can with them so they can read this board, they need to see a shrink :D**

Went to record dums for another song last session. Kick drum was about 1/2 the amplitude on the recording. I freaked. I checked connections and compressor settings - all good. I checked program setting all good. Tested it on group 2 - good amplitude. Grabbed my meter and started buzzing out...

If the kick drum is sounding too muddy and low end, experiement with mic placement and do not be afraid to sidechain an EQ in the compressor to control the low's and level the high's. The punch of a kick is on the high end of it's sprectrum, the pump is the low end. Mix around the song, not an...

ADA microcab II is my speaker cabinet. I have to EQ it, but I get the results I want :)

I usually try to crete the "out front' effect the drums are panned as iff you were standing in front of them. Since it's a double pedal system, it's a cool effect. Snare - 5% right Kick - 5%left High Tom - 75% right High Mid Tom - 35% right Low Mid Tom - 35% Left Floor tom - 75% left OH Right...

Pretty much got it narrowed down, but wanted another opinion or two before proceeding. I have a Abit KT7 MB, AMD 1.2Ghz, 512 MB RAM, TNT2, Antex SC2000 StudioCard, Adaptec SCSI controller, Netgear 311 ethernet, CDR, & two 10K RPM Cheetah 9.1GB SCSI drives. Thought my PSU was a 350W, turns out...

I use a switchbox for monitors. I use the following: A set of pro monitors A set of Optimus bookshelf speakers A set of plastic "I wanna be a boom box" speakers My home strereo (uses Kenwood XL-999's - remember those? :D) A set of cheap walkman-style headphones A set of AKG-K240DF phones A set...

Also try the Aeloian mode. A bit tricky but quite useful when you need to alternate away from the root minor ;)

As a repair tech, two words came to mind when I saw a Ross in the "fix me" stack - "oh lord" The manufacturing was very low grade. The headroom was even less. I think they buy their connectors from the "didn't pass QC test" in a sweat shop overseas who produces crap connectors anyway. The...

I had to vote "Other" I use three amps. Ampeg VH-140C head. Very versatile amplifier. Gallien Kruger ML/S rack head. Amp for my leads. Best tube sounding solid state I found. A vintage, original MusicMan. 2 Channel, hard wired footswitch, original RCA tubes. Cleanest of of my cleans :D...

Check Pin3 on your 286 with a voltmeter and see if the phantom power is still there.

Maybe it's an active DI and putting the 286 in the loop broke your phantom power path?

To answer how we keep our drummer in time - Playing out live, I built a small metronome that merely flashed an LED. It was a general reference. I haven't played live in over two years now. Last drummer I played live with was popping Xanax's with whiskey chasers. Tempo wouldspeed up and slow...

rhythm is not necessarily drums. It's the timing. Ever seen people slow dance to someone singing acapella or to a song without drums? Timing of a song is very important, but timing cannot stand alone. As mentioned above it takes all elements and not one of them being the more important than...

I did score one of these froma Red Lobster. Phantom power quit on it, so they bought another one and were throwing this one away. Quite the pricey piece of gear, but did wonders in my live rig for tape/cd outputs as well as just laying scratch ideas to tape...
