I need a 1/8" stereo --> 2 1/4" mono.. cable of a decent quality. Hard to find.. ps - for the time being, If I take a 1/8" cable, a 1/4" cable, a knife, scissors and some tape.. cut, slice, and put together, will that sound like trash?

Ouch. Bruce, you're right -- I did indeed hear those dynamic peaks and that's what got me wondering.. So, you're saying that it's allright to connect the monitors to my mixers output and route all instruments through it? (ie: guitar -> mixer -> monitors) Will the sound be more subdued (and...

Thanks all for shedding some light.. I would like to take this opportunity to sneak some possibly asinine questions about monitors without starting a new thread. It is about their proper use, since they are expensive and I don't want to risk damaging them. Is it allright to: 1. Connect my...

Yeah, but what about height? I suppose they should be at ear level, right?

Great! thanks So how far away should these be? Or maybe the question should be: how close can I have them?

I just recieved my pair of Event PS-6 studio monitors from Music123, on the basis of all the good comments I've read. On the box it says they are Direct Field. I need monitors that I can sit in front of, I don't have much space, and I cannot turn these up loud. So, I need Nearfield, right? I...

Sabith: i tried that once just for fun (to a crappy laptop's line in), and it was ugly. But would it aboslutely permanently damage somethin?

Yup, I've looked through the debates on here. Some say cables are all sonically similar, others swear by their brand. I'm aware that Monster has 100, 500, and 1000 cables, of different levels of quality, but I'm also aware of their giant price tags. And I really don't like how the 500 series...

Hmm, so I'm getting the Mackie 1202 VLZ-Pro.. What am I looking for that will let me hook it up to my sound cards' 1/8" Line In? Anything else I need? edit: oh, and if you have reccomendations on a brand and place to get it from, along with other instrument & mic cables, that would be...

Thanks sabith and drstawl.. I guess I'm gonna get a headphone amp. I won't be recording drums, other than possibly a drum program or machine. At home, I have an SB Live, but over there I'll have to bring a laptop, which does have a line in plug, but may compromise our sound quality. Also, it's...

okay, so I want to record a small band "live" with a Mackie 1202 mixer -> computer, at a friends house. The thing is, I don't want to lug amps there and mic them. I want to send the guitar and bass straight to the mixer. So, is there a way that all of us can listen to what's playing, and sing...

^ bump

I've gathered some good brands of cable are Canare, Belden, Mogami. Also, Monster is good, but too expensive. Where I can buy these? Monster 500 is too expensive for me.

The budget is flexible, keeping in mind that i'm a newbie and I Don't know how much I'll be getting into this stuff, and alot of this coudl be wasted on me since I be happy with lower-end stuff. However, I am attracted to equipment that I know is quality and people agree on. That in mind, my...

Okay, I've spent a good amount of time searching through this bbs looking for relevant posts, and I think I'm getting closer to buying. Thanks for the responses to my previous post. I'm Pretty sure on: Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro mixer Shure 57 and/or 58 mics One of the popular multitrack programs...

Thanks for the tips, especially about Behringer. What I will be recording? I suppose guitar, bass, the usual stuff, a drum machine maybe, probably 6 tracks. Yes, I was considering this Mackie 1202, very high quality. Could use some sliders though. I meant to say I would spend about 700 on the...

well, I guess no more than around $700. On the other hand, I could pick up a Behringer mixer for $150.

Hi, novice here, and I want to get started, from scratch.. I want to buy a mixer/multitrack, mics, stands, cables, guitar effects, etc. I think I've decided on the mic: Shure SM57, and for the guitar a Line 6 Recording POD. However, I have no idea about the mixer/multitrack.. I am pretty sure...
