I have expanded my studio, but I don't want to put in another large window between the rooms (16" double wall). I was thinking of using some sort of Video Camera "Closed circuit" TV system to allow talkback and "viewback" into the control room. Have any of you guys tried this? What should I...

Just FYI... If you mike an accoustic guitar with two mikes in stereo in a nice medium to live room....Who needs reverb or effects? Mike a drum kit properly, add a room mike about 12 to 15 feet away... Who needs reverb? Electric guitars I use amps & effects and "Print" the finished sound...

I have 4 reverb/delay units available on aux sends. Several compressors and multi-effects units on the patchbay to use for inserts to individual channels. I rarely use more than two or three at a time. Dom

Is there wear at fret positions.... This is a big clue to me about how much playing time the string has seen. On an accoustic guitar: Inspect your wound "g" string (No pun intended) for wear at the place where it contacts the 2nd and 3rd fret. Is it flattened out? Is there a big dent" Is...

Every thing is shipped from somwhere to the store or your house! Unless you live in the factory, your instruments were thrown around in a plane or truck somewhere!:) As long as the package was not damaged (Crushed, spindled, mutilated) it will be fine... BTW always inspect the package before...

Use the aux outs Your board has two pre fader aux outs and two post fader outs For a simple mix just set the aux outs to 0db (Unity gain) on each channel and master send and the signal that you get will be the same relative levels as your fader settings. DOM:p

It's the Wages! A good portion of the amount you pay for a guitar (or anything for that matter) is the cost of labor required to assemble, finish, detail, test and package the item. Chinese labor is amazing in quality, and dirt cheap.... The exact guitar would cost about 5 times as much if...

WoW! I played in a band with a guy like you once...... I don't know what else you can do but change strings often! Dom

Have any of you had the problem of trying to fix a vocal part at a later session, and you can't match the tone or volume level exactly? I sometimes scribble a little diagram on a piece of paper... Like: Tube preamp-Compressor-Delay room 5 but the EQ settings and the recorded sound are hard to...

Hmmm I wonder? I have heard that tubes impart a color to the sound due to the particular harmonic frequencies that we humans perceive as "PLEASING TO THE EAR." The sound is not actually transparent but it is "altered" in a way that we accept as "sounding better." I wonder If we had solid...

I like Mackie mixers They are reliable, sound pretty good for the money Get one used and you will save even more! Dom

It is difficult but you can do it! It is a great challenge, even for an experienced studio drummer to add drums to an exsisting track. Because it is so perfect and many drummers like to lock in visually with a bass player. But it is well worth the effort, and you will be improving your timing...

You may also have tuning problems Accoustic guitars have fixed bridges that are set up for heavier strings than an electric guitar Dom:rolleyes:

Hot tea always helps my vocals.... Not coffee or hot chocolate! Dom:o

Look 1 more post.... OBTW I do have some Event Powered monitors and i love em! PS5's They are small but do the job well. Dom:cool:

I hate to be selfish but every time I let someone else play one of my guitars the strings go dead instantly. I can play my guitar every day for several weeks and the strings stay bright and live. I guess some people have acid/sweaty hands and kill strings with one touch! What a Bummer Man...

You need a compensated bridge ! Go to a reputable music store that sells guitar accessories buy a compensated bridge (plastic piece) it will have the 3rd string area adjusted forward to correct the problem you have Dom:p

I like option # 1 better I'd go with the mixer, and separate recorder of your choice. The "all in one" units like the Roland sacrifice sevreral things for convienience. They use data compression to save hard drive space, and the built in mixers are limited and cumbersome to use. You can...

It's easy to tune just a few strings! Just match the pitch of the offending strings to the ajacent ones that are in tune. (most likely there will be at least one of them still in tune). You will hear a warble vibrating sound that increases or decreases in frequency as you move closer or...

Try the other mics too.... You will never know if the other mics are any good unless you try them out! Just record something for a few minutes with the SM58 then with the other mic and A/B compare them during play back. *BTY* The SM58 is an industry standard and all other dynamic cardiods are...
