    Speakers/Power Amp

    Hi guys! Gosh, did I miss the party?:eatpopcorn::eatpopcorn: Hey! Were you guys talking about speakers or something? :laughings: Did I ever tell you guys about the greatest speakers in the whole wide world? No contest. No argument. Just the best speakers ever and you'll know it if you ever...

    How much is my Used VST Rack Gear worth?

    Good idea. Those "vintage" lines of code always sound so much richer than NEW lines of code. Go with that one ;) Ponder5

    New to Me Used USB Controller

    I never do well at thrift stores and basically hate you, now. :cursing: Ohwell... someone has to get the good deals. Ponder5

    Needed: Tascam 414 screws

    If they don't need to be countersunk, your ordinary hardware store has these. Ponder5

    88 Key Controller

    A fullsized controller is something you live with for a long time, or at least I think it should be. Especially in 88 keys, which points to piano technique, you want something that plays nice now... and will still play nice in 10 years. I'm glad I plunked down for a Yamaha KX-88 many years ago...

    Speaker compatibility

    The speakers will be fine. No problem. No concern. No debate. This rating isn't a weight limit or a speed zone, this is power (heat) rating. Permanent damage comes from physical abuse (heat, over-travel, etc.) and not academic numbers. You would actually have to try diligently to damage...

    Impact of fixing OSB on sound transmission

    Fill the gaps between the beams with insulation. Attach OSB to the beams with screws. Use plenty of screws -- for that matter, use a double thickness of OSB. All good structure is not good isolation, but all good isolation begins with good structure. NOW, you got a good, solid, useful floor...

    VLAD the IMPALER of 703

    I held mine up with a few nails from the back. Had the nailgun and just hit it a few times. That's kinda 'reverse impaling'. Whatever works. But then, the OP was about if anyone had an *opinion* and I'm sure it makes a world of difference to someone.... somehow.... maybe. But that's their...

    Comfortable fader length?

    Fader length? The longer, the better. I have an old Studiomaster with really nice faders I'm lightly considering making into a Arduino powered worksurface.

    Behringer and patents/lawsuits/etc.

    Well, this is all getting pretty far afield from the forum or the topic, but one thing I'd put out there is that a year from now, you'll be seeing an unmistakable uptick in disposable income, overall. That's my prediction, anyway. That translates into more music; more concerts; more ticket...

    Behringer and patents/lawsuits/etc.

    Our legal system is the worst there is... except for all the others. But you're right. Basically, you're right about most all of it. But let's remember this: a honest and forthright legal system can only come about from an honest and forthright people. We just came out of an election of fraud...

    Behringer and patents/lawsuits/etc.

    While I certainly appreciate the endorsement, let's just remember that this doesn't constitute legal advice. Yes, there are different laws among different countries. The chief difference is our rather unique (and wonderful) trial by jury concept. China, for instance, has all KINDS of laws and...

    Need Soundproof Wall Built

    Any construction contractor will do. When you're talking soundPROOF, you're talking mass, mass, only mass, and more mass. It's not about absorption or diffusion. It's about mass. Thick, heavy, materials like concrete. The specs are available anywhere and any contractor can build to spec...

    Do you leave your gear set up all the time, or do you set up/tear down every session?

    So maybe i'm not keeping up, here. That's probably it. I thought the *definition* of a studio was a place where stuff is set up and not taken down except for another setup. It's a dedicated space that's not suddenly used to cook meals or maintain cars. And I thought the definition of a gig...

    Hardware or Software Synth?

    Do you leave your gear set up all the time, or do you set up/tear down every session?

    Thermal cycling is what ages electronics more than almost anything. So when I'm just practicing or working up songs, I only power up what I need. Just a few modules. But when I'm tracking and such, I leave everything on, sometimes for months. I have a couple computers, but at lest one...

    Hardware or Software Synth?

    Hardware. Software is a *title*; Hardware is an *instrument*. But to each his own. I have both and prefer hardware. Even some cheap rackmount rompler is better than another gizmo on-screen. Ponder5

    Behringer and patents/lawsuits/etc.

    There's an old saying: Whenever you get 4 lawyers together, you'll get 5 opinions. There's nothing cut and dried about any of this. With this many lawyers involved, nothing is straightforward or, sadly, honest. So whether or not anyone was "right" is a maybe. Whether you can copy this or...

    Behringer and patents/lawsuits/etc.

    You're probably calling BS because you're a nice guy with good intentions. But not everyone is. So they had to come up with a standard that everyone could live with. First off -- who is this "original inventor" guy? Most products are made by a team of engineers, sitting at desks and cubicles...

    A few of my Pedals

    If it's possible, I'd love to see you post the schematic. Most of the skills I already got. Done a lotta projects. But circuit design? Not a big goal of mine. Still in all, the idea of an enveloped phaser seems especially interesting on keyboard for a certain idea i have swirling around in...
