It was a genuine question! Perhaps the old saying "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture" applies here. You either love or hate this kind of music (and I don't love it).

What's with tape? SCREW the speaker to a piece of plywood - voila. Or face to face (as someone else suggested), only use NUTS AND BOLTS instead of tape. That's what the holes are for after all.

What's all this stuff about? What's the point? Can't hear a word he's saying, (other than the usual hackneyed expletives). What should I be listening for?

Using two different close mics would at least give you a choice of sounds, one or other, or a blend of both. Never heard of the noise canceling method, sounds interesting.

From what I remember, the B1 has a quite warm, almost rolled off quality to it. Is that an apt description? I remember it worked quite nicely on vocals and steel guitar.

Surely, 8 tracks over 4, and all the fast access of MD, etc., has to be better than cassette 4-track? Never owned an MD recorder, but I always thought the concept was great.

hahahahaha

Any 12VAC power supply will do (providing it has the amperage). Did you try it out with a mic or a line input? Was the input push switch (2nd from left) set correctly? Or in the case of a mic, was phantom (red push switch) on?

I want one. http://www.petecornish.co.uk/bop.html

Sounds a bit 'veiled,' but otherwise, it's a decent recording.The guitars seem to be well 'captured' when they stand on their own at the end. Perhaps its my headphones being a bit woolly in the bass, but it does sound quite bass heavy, this mix. Balance-wise, I'd prefer to hear the melody...

That was the biggest pile of crap I've read for a long time.

They're OK. Now stop quibbling and go make some noise.

Genericizing, cunning plans, sending to return huge reverberating flower pots and varying nomenclature. Got it.

Light's got his boxing gloves off, and you know what that means - time to wrap up this thread! In the time spent putting you straight, he could have built/sold a couple of guitars. If the bridge/top junction isn't damaged, wouldn't the old superglue, squeeze and hold technique do the trick...

The send and return pots (if your mixer even has these, the Mackie 1604 has them) are for optimising gain; you shouldn't be fiddling with them, that's what Aux 1, 2, etc., on each channel strip is for. Unless I'm missing something?

Is there anywhere you can hear them side by side? The reason I say this is that, at the end of the day, it should be your own ears, not someone's bias that dictates. Mentioning Behringer on this forum is like throwing a carcass into a pirahna pool: I know of two instances where a broken Mackie...

A friend of mine had 7 of these for multitracking - a bitch to synch together, and location recording required a mini van. Chrome plated wires (if you can find them) offer better frequency response, but you have to reconfigure the coil head's driver tube to a cathode follower to achieve the...

Don't do that! The mixer's XLRs are for mic level incoming signals. The HD24 will be sending out line level - ouch. And sending 48v of Phan power to the HD24 will not help matters either.

Sorry, don't do this where phantom power is at the XLR end.

Jumper the XLR plug's ground (pin 1) to cold (pin 3) within the plug itself, pin 1 (or 3, doesn't matter of course) goes to ground (sleeve) at the phono end; XLR hot (pin 2) goes to hot (tip) phono end.
