So what's missing in the guitar sound? I'm guessing that the low end isn't there. Does it sound too far away? You'll have to get into a little more detail so we can figure out what the problem might be. Mic position is crucial in getting the sound you want. There isn't one perfect spot, but...

First one that came to my mind was also the Polytone amps. I know a couple of guys in LA who still use those and sound great. I'd also have to say that you don't HAVE to go tube for a great jazz sound. The Polytone amps are desired cuz there's not a shred of overdrive in them. People use...

pedals Bow-dude, There's a WORLD of difference in the two pedals mentioned here. The DOD American Metal is about as different as you can get from the Ibanez TS-9 and still be talking about distortion pedals. All you're gonna get with that American Metal pedal is really bad 1980's glam rock...

LTG- How are you micing the amp? Is it a clean sound or a distorted sound? You've got the basic path right- guitar-amp-sm57-board-sound card. Are you getting a hot enough level into the soundcard? By the way, the WinAmp display is just a light show. It is NOT accurate. Especially if you...

Cool man, I hope that works out. I looked for a used pair for over a year and never found them used (which is a good sign), so good for you!

Man! See! Isn't that an unreal price? I think it might lead people to think they suck, but they definitely don't! Not a bad idea to check on the return policy though since everyone's tastes are different. Yeah, I'd love to hear how they compare head on with the passive Reveals and 20/20s...

Malgo- I can't vounch for any one of the monitors you have listed, but I know many people here like the Reveals, and the Genelecs are used in many studios. (Don't know anything about the Yamahas) Find out if the Reveals you might get are powered or not. A good amp will cost you at least $300...

I'm not sure if they're shielded or not but, I have mine less than a foot and a half from my monitor and I don't have any problems with them. Saxman72

Thanks Skippy, I was hoping you'd find your way to this post. I seem to have most of the grounding issues under control (except for another loop i found sneaking it's way through a midi cable). Two questions though: You said to connect tip to tip and ring to ring and then the shield at the...

Okay this is more of a question than anything (and it has nothing to do with monster cable!). Is there any benfit to using twisted 2 conductor wire for unbalanced connections? ...If star quad cable rejects more interference for balanced lines, does it follow that 2 conductors (twisted) rejects...

da plane! da plane! actually I don't know how good they are, but I do have a pair of TL Audio eq's and am always impressed with the quality. incredibly low noise and beautiful sound. mine are actually from the "classic" range, but I've heard good things about the "ivory" range too. there are...

same mic... by the way, the mc-012 and the mk-012 are the same mic. i read somewhere that they use the different letting depending on the intended line of distribution. i think the c and k stand for "condensor" or "kondensor" depending on which country it was intended for. who knows, maybe...

where can I find Furman or Neutrik? Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll try a 1/4" bay one more time before I dive into the bantam type. (especially since I've already done all the soldering of 1/4" trs plugs.) So where can I find a Furman or Neutrik? All I can find on the web are...

Does your Re'an patchbay suck? Mine does!!! I've seen a few other posts up here with people mentioning the same snaps, crackles, and pops from their Re'an suck-bays. Some of my connections drop out completely! Shoot! If my whole damn life savings is connected to something, it might as well...

Yeah, that's where my problem is... I'm willing to spend more for the better converters, but I also have a DA-88 and would like to hook that up digitally. I don't want to buy BOTH though. Oh well. So far I'm surviving fine with my GadgetLabs without digital.

Hmmm... I have to admit I'm using a decent amp (Hafler 1500) and I don't know how they'd sound using anything else. The Samson Servo amps seem to be a pretty good deal (if they still make them), but I'm not sure how good they are.

I just did a search on this and found very little on it. Is the 1224 not common here cuz it's expensive? Or some other reason? I have a GadgetLabs 824 that I like but I missed the chance to add the digital i/o. NOW I want that digital capability! Oh well, so much for my timing. Assuming I...

H2H, Sounds good! I hope you like them as much as I do. I know Bruce and Track Rat agree with me on these. Let us know what you think when you get them! saxman72

Hey Bruce, Looks like that might make 4 of us now with the Yorkvilles! :> Others seem interested now too after reading my other post in the mixing/mastering forum. Saxman72

I once had the pleasure of mixing on an SSL. With so many damn buttons you have to be careful. I was working under the fear that there was a button that ejects the assistant engineer!... ...Actually it was a lot of fun. It was the first time I was in on the mixing of a recording that ended...
