If you are using the inserts on the board you need TRS jacks. Shield=ground and tip and ring are send and return. From your description, it sounds like you may have it wired wrong? It sounds like you wired both the ring and sleeve together unless I am misunderstanding your post.
Keep in mind that while it is true that you will loose some power, the important thing is SPL. In other words how loud will it be? The cone of a speaker will only move so far, right? So if you can get it moving it's full travel and get good volume, who cares what the power output translates too...
It's probably not necassary to worry about it (except in special cases) if you are going to a higher impedance. There will be less current draw on the amp and you might possibly not get the full output of the amp. You stand more chance of having problems pissing around with resistors. If you...
I like Reflex active pickups. In fact if anyone knows where to get them these days, please let me know. I'm going to be building another guitar and I need to find out where to get another set of these....Awsome!:D
A lot of times you can just use compressed air to blow the dust out of sliders and then work the piss out of them for a while to restore them. I'd try this first. Even if you do decide to use a cleaner on sliders (which I absolutely do not recommend), if you do not blow the dust and debris out...
You might try the search function first next time, but I'll save you some time just this once. :D :D
This won't remove everything, but depending on what your purpose is it may work for you. You might try the search anyway if you'd like to know more about vocal removal. There have been several...
Got an old Ensoniq ESQ1. First off, I'd like to know if anyone knows what it's worth. Then after that, I'd like to sell it. If anyone here can help with either, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

When I want to use an outboard processor, I send the track(s) out of one sound card output and back in on another making sort of a loop. Of course you have to have a card with multiple ins and outs. I'm running a dual pentium motherboard with 1 gig processors and 1 gig of memory and 2 SCSI...
If you gate after you compress, it will be much more difficult to suppress noise. Your peaks will be lowered through the compression process effectively giving you more noise. This would make it more diffucult to have a gate point that is closed for noise and open for wanted signals. Therefore...
Another thing that would help would be to slightly "carve out" a spot for the snare by cutting some of the snare's frequencies out of the the other "voices". This will make the snare easier to hear and you won't have to have it as hot in the mix.

Here's something to try. Never tried it myself, but I remembered seeing it so I thought I'd post.
Ethan,
Dude your entitled to your opinion and you obviously don't like these devices. But that statement is not (as you say) BS. I don't want to get into tech wars here, but if you take a dual trace scope and compare input to output while running a sweep generator through a BBE device that is...
