Erm... it doesn't matter when you are talking about interference from a PC monitor. I have a couple of guitars with humbuckers and a Strat with single coils. Both types of pickups react the same when too close to a PC monitor. The easy solution is to not stand/sit close to the monitor. As...

Falken, why do you keep implying that this stuff is voodoo? All of your posts seem to have this underlying assumption that room treatment is just a steaming pile of horse shit. What the hell is some geek at M-Audio tech support going to know about acoustics? And why would you give that M-Audio...

Just trying to bring it all back into perspective. :D The reason I used rock wool was cost. I got the stuff from www.spi-co.com and these were the prices for 2'x4'x2" panels (the rock wool boards I got were actually 8pcf density-- over twice as dense as the OC fiberglass): OC703 = $.99 per sq...

Man, Falken... sounds like you have all the answers... why are you wasting your time in this forum? This stuff can be as complicated as you want to make it. There are no written-in-stone solutions to everyone's problems because there are way too many variables in the equation. The only way to...

Everyone seems to be talking about mixing here. What about tracking? I use my RNC for tracking vocals, drums, acoustic guitar, and bass guitar. It's awesome for those purposes. Sure, it's unbalanced... but you are going into a Delta 1010lt which only has unbalanced inputs anyway-- so who...

The whole deal with "my amp sounds better cranked" has to do with power tube saturation. You will almost never hear that statement in regards to SS amps. Most tube purists agree that power tube distortion is the gold-standard of guitar distortion. Of course, there are many variables: type of...

I'm glad we've got the new guy here to straighten us all out on that issue! :rolleyes: Seriously, I'm no expert, but the data clearly shows that rigid fiberglass and rockwool do a pretty darn good job absorbing down to the 125 to 150hz range. I'm not sure what you consider the "low mid and bass...

Jeff, I'm experiencing the same thing. However, I would debate the premise above. I've seen it mentioned time and time again by people around here who really know their shit-- the room matters as much (or more) than your signal chain. A couple months ago I took this advice and bought some...

Also... If you don't want to do the $1 a yard scrap stuff, there are lots of other options for fabric that is WAY below $16/yard.

DAMN! You are paying more for the fabric than the fiberglass panels. That just seems wrong, man! I've been getting $1 per yard fabric from Walmart. It takes 1.5 yards of 56" wide fabric to cover a standard 2'x4'x2" panel. That makes the cost for fabric per panel around $1.50. I use the...

You might consider GraphTech bridge saddles and graphite string tree(s) to help with your tuning problems. I put the Ferraglides on my American Strat because I wanted to keep the chrome bridge look. The original black GraphTech saddles are cheaper (but all black). You can get slightly better...

OK, I don't know if SPI prices/cost vary from state to state-- but here is what I paid in Oklahoma: The rigid fiberglass I bought on my first order was 2" thick and 3pcf density (Owens Corning 703). Cost: $.99 per sq ft. They only sell it in cartons and the carton I got was 12 boards...

Hey Timmerman, is your first language English? Seriously, I cannot understand a damn thing you are saying. You seem to be giving Rick a hard time. Why?

Yes, I have tried the MD421 on toms. But I only have one and I like to use it on the snare. Like I said in my previous post, if I had 2 or 3 more 421s, I'd use them on the toms instead of the 57s. I have also tried a 57 on the snare many times in many different positions (on top, on the side...

The drummer in my band bought the DMK57-52 kit. He got it from Guitar Center for about $300. We had a connection there who would give us deals at cost (he'd even show us on the computer how low he could go). For $300, I think it's an excellent deal. Three brand new 57s alone at retail would cost...

A few years ago in the college town I lived in at the time, a local band setup in the parking lot of a 7-11. I don't know how they arranged the whole thing... I assume they had permission (maybe a family member was the manager) because they were plugged-in to the electrical outlet by the ice...

LOL! Thanks! That makes sense.

By the way... do you know what the M and S stand for? I couldn't find an explanation anywhere in the manual. It only took about 5 seconds to figure out what they did. But it bugs me that I don't know what the M and S mean.

Cool, man... that's what I wanted to hear. I've been thinking about buying some for my amp... but wasn't sure if they were all hype.
