    $%^ ^&*( Epiphone acoustic electric

    Ah thanks treeline. That's info i was looking for! I hadn't gotten to messing with the saddle yet. My theory was to put something underneath the high-e, to try and dampen it. But by what you are saying, the opposite is true. good to know. I was also going to try to put a small bit of cloth on...

    Cheapest Overall setup- semi emergency

    I'm with darnold on this one, get a four track. A new Tascam 424mkIII is about $250. If you can find one used, you can have some money left over for mics. You have a vocalist in the group. Do you not have any PA equipment? what does the singer sing through when you practice? where do you...

    The incredible value of Tube Mic Preamps

    geeze go easy on the guy. :rolleyes: shadows obviously got excited about something he heard in his recording. You can't really fault him for that, despite his overzealous and likely misguided statement about not ever going solid state again. Hopefully you haven't killed his excitment by...

    Make your own drum clip mic mounts?

    sometimes at radio shack you can find a mic clip with a "male" end instead of the usual female. What I have done is to take one of those, and one of those v-shaped mic clips with the spring and screw them together. The V-shaped mic cliped becomes what you clip onto the drum hardware, and the...

    quick bass check please

    Listening on my Event 20/20's the bass sounds freaking nice! I hear what you mean, how it drops off on certain notes, seems like the nature of the instrument. The only thing i could say to try is to ride the faders (or whatever digital equal you've got) like a madman. Or, the lower notes come...

    Sermon of the gun

    Holy Freaking Metal. The guitar fits well in the mix, but it isn't quite BIG or agressive enough as i'd like to hear it. On the drums I think if you panned them less it would feel more natural, with the individual sounds just on one side they feel more canned. You could maybe exploit that a...

    Remixing some old gems

    I promised Col. Forbin (nevermind) that I'd have A CD together for his birthday with all the "newer" old stuff from our old band. (got it) So basically all the tracks we never really finished when we split for like that 8th time.. The first I tackled was "ebb tide" the vocals are scratch...

    Just bought an ADAT

    I got tired of searching and looking and contemplating.. so i just stepped in it and picked up a Blackface ADAT for $250. Super low hours 1950...:( :D supposedly it had been serviced less than a year ago, and hadn't been used much since. Came from a "talent" agency that closed down. So...

    Looking for a card with ADAT i/o +

    I'm planning on picking up an ADAT sometime soon and I've been poking around the net trying to find a card to fly the tracks into the PC. The ADAT/edit card would be good, but I've heard so many horror stories i don't think it's even a consideration. This STA DSP24 ADAT card looks good...

I will be recording vocals and acoustic guitar mostly, but would like to be able to throw a cranked guitar amp in there on...

    tube pre necessary for drums?

    I usually end up running the kick through my ART tube MP and the rest through my Mackie board. I tried My M-Audio DMP-2 for drums and didn't like it compared to either the mackie or the Art. Do you have a mixing board? Something like the Mackie 1402 would probably be more useful than a couple...
