Depends partly on how good your amp is. There is a very real threat from flyback voltage if the impedance mismatch is too great. Cheap amps can get zapped by it, good amps can mostly handle it.....but it's not worth the risk. I would never mismatch more than 1 level. I would mismatch a 4 ohm amp...

I've taken apart a set of AKG phones before.......it aint worth it. Buy new ones. If you have your heart set on repair, your only real option is an AKG auth'd dealer, but then the phones may or may not be gone for several weeks as they will probably ship back to Austria for repair. Again, not...

I agree, they are there, but I think cutting them out of the vocal is the wrong answer. I hear the problem as the vocal and the guitars are all in the same frequency band, and the guitars will always win that battle. This may be a perfect example of why metal guitars do the "mid scoop" thing, to...

I put a C414 and a BK-1 about 12" in front, one on either side of the cone edge. It varies, sometimes I use an E906, very warm natural sounding mic. I was using 3 mics, but realized the difference from 2 to 3 mics is not nearly as significant as the difference from 1 to 2 mics.

How do you get an M/S recording without using a Fig 8 mic?

Go with the Rode, but not the Shure. If you really want a Shure, get an older one off ebay, the kind that say "Unidyne" on the band, they are much more natural sounding. Otherwise, you can get much better performance and more versatility from a Heil PR20 (or PR30 or PR40). The Heil mics are...

Your keyboard has a built in midi sequencer. It's probably counting in clock pulses, 96 or 192 clocks per beat. (some systems use a 100 based count, so an 1/8th note would be 50 clocks, etc) (this is not the same as your tempo setting) Sustain is midi controller number 64, a simple on / off...

The best budget mic is the EV BK-1. It will blow everything else that's under $200 bucks outa the water, by a long mile. Grab an AT2020 while you're at it. No need to blow your whole budget trying to buy new china mics that will have a ton of presence boost. The EV is hard to find, but extremely...

I like the vox, and the lead guitar cooks. But the distorted rhythm guitars are scorched. One of the biggest mistakes new recordists make is having guitars too distorted. The recording will "hear" fizzy mosquito sizzle crud that your ears will not necessarily be offended by. It might work in the...

And it's the easiest, most obvious thing for non-musicians to notice. Even people with no musical knowledge can tell if timing and rhythm is off. I'm like the others, I would not have thought to use those sounds, but it works and I can hear why it makes a theme song for the panel show.

The only fx in this mix are a bit of compressor on the bass, and a bit of reverb on the sax. Everything else is "as is." Catchy tune I guess, but seems to be missing something.....:eatpopcorn: A Flat Tire

You have next to nothing (about $60 bucks) to lose by first trying Reaper. Best DAW software on the planet for the money.

Get a pro or semi-pro sound card / interface. And dont spend any more money on anything that says Behringer on it. Spend the $60 bucks (it went up) to license Reaper. It's the best, most powerful and easy to use DAW software for the money anywhere on the planet. You will have to spend at least...

I suppose only a drummer with something to plug would refer to EZD as "crappy." So you have a ton of riffs that SD2 and DFH are not capable of producing? Did you intend to "filter" the pool of potential clients? I was intrigued until I saw all the "fucking" going on. I'm not offended, I just...

I agree, it's a heckuva deal. I still may not be done with this story...... during my amp quest, I stumbled on someone selling a Fuchs Blackjack 21. The reviews for all of Andy Fuchs gear are always stellar. And the guy was asking $650 for the BJ21. I wanted that little thing soooo bad, but...

Those are excellent offerings, and I honestly almost bid on that Chubster combo. But at the last minute I went for the Knucklehead 55. Now I have an empty 1x15 cab to fill.....

That is a very tempting suggestion. There were a couple of Rivera Chubsters up for sale, but both ended up bidding slightly out of my reach. I think I may go for a Rivera Knucklehead 55 a late 90's amp (the one with no reverb). It's a head, and if I get it at the price I'm offering, then I'll...

Yup, those would count as being SF Fenders. I played a real Princeton once, it was great. I regret not buying it, had the money a week later and it was gone. I played a DRRI but I could not bond with it. I am sure the older SF DR's are bound to be a lot better. I've checked a few prices, they...

New amp day is coming soon to a basement near me! But there are too many choices. My current budget is about $1000 (preferably shipped) but if I were to wait 4 or 5 months it could go up to $1500. But I've already sold a guitar and my big amp, so I need to replace the amp soon. Research has...
