Sorry, I don't understand. You say you have one auxiliary send in one place and in another you say there's two. Which is it? The other thing, each auxiliary send by itself is MONO. Plugging a stereo jack into an auxiliary send doesn't change that. Your pan pot on the channel has NO effect on...

Another way to fatten it up a little is to use a pitch effect which detunes it by a few cents (hundredths of a step). You then mix that back in. A cool effect, yet hardly noticeable unless you've used it -- then it jumps right out at you.

Okay, let's see if I understand the question. Correct me if I misunderstood your question. You've got three mics on the drums and you want them panned. Each mic will be on its own channel on your mixer. Say channel one mic is panned left, channel 2 center and channel 3 right. OK so far? You...

Try "zero" rings on the drums. Basically a ring like a donut that fits on top of the skin, about an inch wide, at the outer perimeter. They totally eat up all the resonance and leave you with a nice clean tone. One brand I use is Remo and it's like magic.

Yup I've seen a few like that. Eye catching little fellas. Hang on to it I'd say.

I think the main thing you'll notice is the nickel strings last longer. A less corrosive alloy.

Every solid state Marshall I've tried has sounded like crud. Even compared with anything else--fizzy mosquito fart distortion. They should be ashamed...

Got all the right vibe. I think previous comments said it--some creative EQ will really set this one off. Good work!

Any tips on repairing a small tear in a paper speaker cone? Advice much appreciated.

They all do this. I replaced the belt and it still had this problem. I now leave the front housing off as the recorder is in a unit with a glass door in the front to reduce noise. It's not pretty but when the belt comes off you can put it right back--a 15 second operation. The other thing as you...

Comfort is big issue. Whatever you do, make sure they don't pinch or chafe as you'll soon hate them no matter how good they sound.

Please check your own post and see if it makes any sense to you. ..

Vox is absolutely right about SPLs. If it's too loud for you it's too loud for the audience. Someone will always come up to you and ask you to turn it up but then again there's always a few half-deaf headbangers in any crowed. You're mixing for the larger group, not for the hearing impaired...

The key is whatever you use, make sure you're giving it a strong signal from your board (just below clipping) and returning the same. That way when you mix the verb back into the channel(s) you only need to add a bit and you get a much cleaner sound (better signal to noise ratio). You can make...

Not to cause any offence, but why would anyone want to put goop on strings? There's enough crud coming off your fingers and clogging up the string windings already. I certainly wouldn't want a buildup of wax or any other substance on the fretboard. Whether wax causes damage I don't know but...

Just had a chance to crank up a full 5150 II stack last night at a friend's store. A lively amp full of tone and thunder. Anyone used these in a working environment? Comments?

Watch those audiophiles. I've known a few personally and I've seen them: -reverse the plug in the wall to improve the sound -place a brick on top of a tube amp to (you guessed it) improve the sound -purchase $5,000 platinum, oxygen free, linear crystal wires to (once again) improve the sound...

To reduce the effects of bleeding, put the bass and drum tracks on the outside of the tape (i.e. 1 and 4 or 1 and 8) if you can rig this in your recording technique. That way the (usually) most dynamic signals are only bleeding to one adjacent track not two. Other thing is, bleeding is not the...

You can use it either to send a direct signal to your PA system that is tweaked to resemble what the tone would be after being pumped through the named cabinets, or the same idea to a recording device, as opposed to micing it.

What's your objective? If you want to record with the guitar, especially a quality instrument such as a Martin, you'll get ten times the tone with a good microphone than with an under-the-saddle pickup. However, if you want to play live with a loud band and not get enough feedback to blow your...
