i studied a little bit of polymer science in college. it comes in handy sometimes.

i bought a pair of the mxl 604's from GC 3 months ago for $170. they've worked well for me so far. the pad and the roll-off are nice features. they aren't a matched pair though. but a matched pair is really only necessary for a true stereo recording. unless you are using them in x-y then matched...

a friend recommended this to me, though i haven't tried it yet. in the spring, when its warm again, stretch the cables across your driveway and leave them out in the sun for the day. you might be able to restore some of the cables this way. the heat will allow the polymer coating to relax and...

holidays have gotten me so busy that i haven't been able to check up on this. i would really like to get in on this if its not too late. i would love to have (2) HRM-10 (1) HRM-14 If my order is too late then still keep me informed IF I could pick up a few leftovers from anyone who backs...

that hurts my ears just thinking about it.

I used to be an aspiring NASCAR driver but I didn't have the money to buy a car or parts and still pay for time at the track. So I did what anyone would do for the "LOVE" of the sport. I mean I "LOVE" racing. So, I went up to GM and hotwired myself a Monte Carlo so I could start building my...

sometimes i fall asleep while i'm mixing. then i realize that i just moved my faders while dreaming. i wake up and i'm 17minutes past the end of a song but still moving automation faders

i like it a little more than a sm58 for live vocals. but i use mine most often on the underneath of a snare with its phase reversed, and in the back of my Fender Princeton mixed in with an LDC out front.

i have 3 guitars with rosewood and 1 with ebony on the fretboards. i usually clean mine with the rough edge of a dish sponge and soap. soap however, removes the oils from the fretboard and leaves it dry. so, i rehydrate the fretboard with lemon oil. its cheap stuff but it works great. this is...

i've got my pedal board rigged up in a 24 channel mixer case (80lbs or so). boss compressor, boss tu-2 tuner, boss blues driver, ibanez ts9, line6 tremolo, line6 dl4 delay, dunlop wah, morley volume, boss rc-20 loop sampler whirlwind a/b switch to my '79 fender princeton and my mesa dc3

there's a luthier here in orlando that builds an amazing solid body acoustic. but they run pretty expesive ($2500-3000). I haven't been too fond of the ES system either. The idea behind it is thoughtful but taylor just doesn't have the technology to pull it off. I almost wish my T5 came with a...

to add a little more air to a track i would also suggest reamping the sample by micing your monitor and soloing the sample to a new track. it takes some of the deadness out of a track and adds the character of a microphone

sometimes i think if i spend all my time reading about how to mix that i will get better without practice yesterday i spent a few minutes drawing up a really sweet volume automation only to realize i never switched it back from "pan."

yes, the compressor/sustainer pedal will induce feedback

i use my G4 powerbook right now. its nice to be portable. i can move my firepod into different rooms in the house and thats nice. i'd love to have a G5 tower to mix on. it'd be really nice to have all the extra processor speed for plugins. but that will have to wait.

the sennheiser's are a little more than 300 but they're probably the best around. i use a ew100 and it hasn't failed me yet. i use it a few times a week.

the firepod is 24/96 so you just make sure that you don't allow the preamps on it to clip during recording. you can do all your compression with plugins after that. the 24/96 will allow you to record at a lower volume with less noise. then you can push the volume of the recorded track up to...

more money

i prefer a princeton reverb over the champ. it'll cost you around 400 but i think its a better all around amp. the princeton is 12watts with a 10 inch speaker. so it'll get better low end than the champ(8 inch). i love my princeton reverb. it has a vibrato circuit on it too.

i got mine today. i won't be around tomorrow to test it out. i'll try it on a drum bus as soon as i can.
