I love telecasters looking forward to playing a mahogany telecaster, that's the good thing about shopping guitars for someone else I get to play some as well :p

Hmm, I'd never buy cymbals I never played before. Most high-end cymbals are partly hand manufactured which means that two cymbals in the same line might sound similar but never sound the same. I've got cymbals from Paiste and Zildjian but could have also walked away with different brands. If...

I'm interested. Haven't got a great mic set-up for my kit as yet, so it depends on the quality you're looking for...

Good luck with that, it also saves time because you have to hover less often :P ! Speaking of sticks has anyone ever played Vic Firths Jack DeJohnette sticks? My favourite so far, 5a sticks but then slightly longer, I love them. If only they would come without the paint that makes my cymbals...

What kind of fender is that. Cause we tried a telecaster (don't know the wood) with humbuckers and a strat (dont know the wood) with one humbucker at the bridge and a single coil and both missed the warm deep sound, both sounded a bit more punchy/spiky, if you know what I mean...

Nice one! Congratulations, good repairs are awesome!

That sounds awesome, we'll try to find a guitarshop who has one of those... I'll pass on that he should work on his technique, for me it is also hard to imagine it not being possible to get used to such a common type of bridge as the Gibson bridge. I like both guitars a lot for their different...

I'm in a band with this guitar player who is looking for the exact dark and rough sound of a Les Paul Guitar but can't get used to the Gibson bridge, it's in the way while strumming it wounds his hand while palm muting. I'm officially the drummer, but usually the guy who does all the technique...

I know the problem. I was able to make my sticks last longer by three things: technique (playing more wrist and less arm) is a bit obvious, but also drumkit set-up: lessening the angle under which I hit the cymbals, the smaller the angle the less the sticks wear, and putting the toms in a way I...

Okay thanks! When placing the bass traps how important is it for them to fill all of the corners? Is it a problem when I leave 2cm open at the top bottom or one of the sides? It's gonna be quite a job with all the different shapes and angles. And, how important is it to make all the basstraps...

If I understood it well you need the material to be dense to be able to absorb low frequencies, that is why foam won't work.

Thanks Jimmy for your suggestion. Does the following picture capture the placing of the bass traps? @Jake, I was thinking of placing the monitors the way they are on this picture. (excuse my MS Paint skills :P) @ RFR, yeah it looks nice. It's like most of my house (and some women), loads of...

Thanks a lot for your reply! As you probably can see is space something I haven't got much of, that's why I put the desk in the corner. It is nice to work at but I know it is rubish for mixing. I have considered to place my monitors facing the drumkit and then sit behind the other desk on the...

Two photo's of my studio for an impression...

Hey guys, I've been checking and loving this forum for a while now but never have done much posts. Coming year however I'd like to take my music and my studio to a higher level which brings me to quiet some questions regarding studio building and investments I have to make. This room has...

Haha thanks guys. I was just wondering because money always has been (and probably will be) a problem. It might be nice to be able to build up a contemporary studio/ practicing room anywhere (no smoking allowed, though). Thanks for the links I'll have a look at it!

Thanks for the reply. Wouldn't the fact that straw isn't too heavy just mean that you need more of it? The flammability is indeed a serious issue...

This might be a funny question but I was wondering if Straw Bales would work to absorb sound in a way that would make recordings better. I read about the soundproofing qualities of straw bales but that isn't same as acoustic treatment, if I'm right. A while ago I found this excellent graphs...

Thanks guys! @ Dr.SpringReverb I didn't plan becoming an ambassador for recording with less mics. Mainly because it takes much time to find the good spot for the condensatormic to have a nice drum/bass mix... @Mr Clean, I see what I can do, I might be able to get it less bassheavy while playing...

Hey fellow recorders, So I managed to put something online, and I really need some advice and expert knowledge. Two friends of mine and me did a semi-structured jam session and recorded the bass guitar, electric guitar and drums with two mics since my interface hasn't got any more channels...
