    Soundcraft serie 200

    i use a 200b... if the 200 is anything like it, then: 1. yeah, it sounds fricking sweet. classic, dark and warm. 2. the insert jacks are pre-fader 3. if you half-jack the insert points (with TS cables, anyway) it does NOT cut the audio from the channel, so you can continue to use the faders...

    My Wharfedales Came Damaged!!!!!!!!

    NTK Sizzle Shizzle

    seems to me all rode mics are bright, bordering on harsh. my NT-2 certainly is.

    cheap pre-amp mod advice - component experts unite!

    thanks guys. ok, so to sum it up: -my tube is fine. but i can always experiment more. -the 2134's are the best opamp replacement i can get without having to mod more stuff that's perhaps a bit out of my league at this point? -i should replace the capacitors (yes, mshilarious, part #'s and...

    Asio?

    does cool edit not support ASIO, or am i just dumb? i'd like to be able to use cool edit with my new E-MU 1212m system, in addition to all the fancier software i plan on using.

    your pick for phones - M40fs, Senn 280, or Sony V600?

    dude.. another write-in vote for the akg k240s. they sound awesome, are comfortable, and unless you're tracking a really quiet instrument with a really hot mic, bleed won't be a problem.

    out of curiousity, what made the good one better than the bad one? maybe mine is just a reject.. it sure sounds dull... no high end..

    Blue The Ball & Ball 8

    don't believe the marketing hype. as much as i want to like the blue ball, because it looks cool and is a good idea in theory, it just sucks. it's dull and lifeless on guitar cabs, and hollow and boxy on kick drum. i can't think of a single thing it can do better than a standard dynamic such as...

    OK, so who has tried the Nady ribbon??

    i would really like to hear about this as well. are they comparable in quality to the oktava ml-52? is the oktava even decent? my roomate has a beyer m500 that i sometimes borrow and i NEED a ribbon for guitar cabs now.

    Worst Piece(s) of Gear You've Purchased

    b.l.u.e. "the ball" mic. it sounds so dull, no high end definition whatsoever... i ruled it out as an option for guitar cabs. i still have to experiment to see if it will work as a stopgap on bass drum until i buy an audix d6.. (right now i'm rocking the nady drum prepack - nasty!)

    Need Help With Hardware

    way to support your son's hobby. i support his decision to stay away from the pc. they have their advantages, but in the end i can't trust my data to a computer unless it's backed up somewhere else. plus at the rate we're going, nobody will even remember how to use hardware in 10 years. the boss...

    Wharfedale Diamond Pro Monitors

    dumb question here... is there any reason not to leave the xlr's plugged in at the same time as the rca ins? so i could quickly a/b two different sound sources? what would happen if the monitors recieved audio from both sources at once?

    trade offer: yamaha dx-7 synth for another vintage synth

    maybe a juno 106 or something with an arpeggiator or sequencer. anything worth roughly the same (~$250-$350).. i can sweeten the deal a little bit if neccesary.

    micing toms from the bottom? top? both?

    i have always miced my toms from the top, and the results are fine, but I remember reading that danny carey's studio setup is condensors on the tops and bottoms of all toms (boy, that gets expensive fast!)... my question is this: is it common practice at all to mic toms from the bottom or from...

    Wharfedale Diamond 8.2 Pro Actives have arrived.

    huh? do you mean the INPUTS? if you have the actives, you should NOT use speaker cable. use normal trs cables or (better yet) microphone (xlr) cables. if you bought the passives though, then yes, speaker cable goes from your power amp to the monitors. based on your question though, i'm pretty...
