    Cafepress alternatives

    Thanks for the info! That really does help. We were discussing this stuff last night and wondering if it would be better to just get our own shirts made and sell direct from our website and at gigs. However... I just can't let go of the idea of having my picture on the front of a woman's...

    Cafepress alternatives

    I'm glad you posted this. My band was seriously considering doing the CafePress thing. I would've ordered some stuff as a test run before we launched it on our site. But I think you just saved me the trouble.

    Man..I'm confused on Budget Mic pre's. Please help

    Yeah the jazz piece was nice. I was listening to it yesterday while I was reading some stuff. At one point I forgot I was listening to an example of a budget pre and was simply enjoying a cool jazz recording. Nice work!

    Man..I'm confused on Budget Mic pre's. Please help

    I've got an RNP and a DMP3. I haven't done an A/B comparison of them so I cannot really make a fair comparison. But, from just using both on various sources like drum OHs, vocals, mic'ing guitar cabinets, and mic'ing acoustic guitars-- I can't really tell much difference between the two. So, I'm...

    *STICKY* Where to Buy Rigid Fiberglass

    I got $1 a yard fabric from Wal Mart. It's basically just scraps. They have it on a table you can rummage through. This is a pain because if you find some fabric you like, there may only be 5 yards of it. They can't order any extra $1 a yard fabric for whatever reason. So you just have to take...

    Guilty of buying cheap mic stands.

    Whoever said they used a 20lb weight on a round base stand is right-on-- that works great. I've also used a sack of potatoes to stabilize a tripod stand. I finally broke down and bought one of these off Ebay for about $80 brand new: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--MUPSMS7650 Let me...

    Converting a closet to a vocal booth?

    I have a friend who did this with his closet. I don't like it at all. The closet is bascially the same dimensions as yours. He has every inch covered with foam-- I think it's just egg crate foam and not audio foam like Auralux. Basically the foam sucks the highs out of the signal-- but that's...

    MOTU 2408 MKII and Latency

    Doh! Ok, so that sounds like what I need. I didn't see a Cuemix option anywhere in the options. But now that I think about it... I think there is a MOTU folder in the Start menu that has a CueMix icon. The computer is at my drummer's house, so I will look for CueMix options when I go over there...

    MOTU 2408 MKII and Latency

    Hey all. I recently got a MOTU MKII. I'm having latency problems. I'm using Sonar 4. Right now, the latency is around 23ms and that is as far left as the slider can go. I tried going into the MOTU control panel and changing the buffer size. This got the latency down to 5ms but there were too...

    Balanced, unbalanced, high impedance, low???

    Yes. You *should* (not all mixers do) be able to use the INSERTs as a direct out. Usually you just plug in a cable until the first click-- so the cable is only half-way plugged in. An INSERT can also be used to run your compressor or fx processor on a single track rather than across an Aux...

    Balanced, unbalanced, high impedance, low???

    Wow! You really need some help! :D With the equipment you've got, there are quite a few options. Here's a basic setup that will get you recording and monitoring. I am assuming you will be using the preamps in the mixer to record with. Also, you didn't list any mics, but you would just plug...

    New Amp!

    Hehe... yeah it's great getting a *nice* amp-- even better with a matching *nice* guitar. The loudness vs. tone thing is very common with tube amps. What most people like (whether they know it or not) about tube amps is the tube distortion. But, to get that sweet distortion, you usually have...

    Sounds like the quality of your tone increased by about a factor of 10. Congrats!!!

    *STICKY* Where to Buy Rigid Fiberglass

    Honestly, I just don't know. I have gotten itchy from fiberglass... so I know how it feels. But... I didn't exactly get naked and roll around in the rock wool. The most I handled it was grabbing a board to put it on the table-- that's it. I didn't have any problems from that little bit of...

    *STICKY* Where to Buy Rigid Fiberglass

    The rockwool boards come in various size options just like the rigid fiberglass. I got 2'x4'x2" boards and 2'x4'x4" boards. I got both 6pcf and 8pcf densities. They are very easy to work with, we cut some with a drywall knife and it cut like butter. We hung them with fender washers and 3"...

    People keep asking, so... BUMP! {hint: For the intellectually challenged among us, look on the first page of this thread for links to places that sell rigid fiberglass.}

    How easy is it to change Strat pickups???

    I understand the reasons why people put humbuckers in strats. I just don't understand people who want LP tone and think they can get it from putting a humbucker in a strat. :rolleyes: Some people will spend a couple hundred dollars on pickups/mods/parts for their Strat when they could save up a...
