Without getting into your promotion tactics, could you at least avoid posting the same thread in multiple forums? I think this belongs in the marketing and publicity board, and is unnecessary and unwelcome here. Thanks, Peter

If you search the board for 'monitors', 'studio monitoirs', or something along those lines you will find a lot of feedback on what systems people here prefer among various price ranges. You don't need an external mixer if its only purpose is to control the master volume. There should be an...

It's the same phenomenon that occurs when you hook a video camera up to a tv and then point it directly at the screen. It's nothing specific to your system, it can happen with any gear. Like Apl said, you can usually eradicate feedback by repositioning your speakers and microphones. I always...

I had a strange experience my freshman year of college. I spent a week laying down a new floor in my parent's basement so they would buy me this music notation program called Finale. I installed it on my roommate's computer, and the first time I used it I wrote out this great melody for a...

I think it's important to simply recognize that you won't always be satisfied with what you write, and that you may often have to struggle with your work before you get what you want out of it. That's not a mark against you and it doesn't make you any less competent of a songwriter, so don't...

I was worried I would have the same problem in my room (recording onto PC with some Rode NT's through an Aardvark Q10). I found, though, that unless you're trying to pick up ambient sound by jacking up the gain and backing off of the mic, you won't pick up any fan noise. At worst, you might...

I'm looking for a well-made, durable hand drum that I can bring with me on the road without excessive fear of it being obliterated. I'd like a Djembe or Dumbek (sp?) or something similar, between 18 and 36 inches tall. Ideally, this would be available somewhere close to me so we wouldn't have...

The University of Michgan, where I went to school, has a fairly thorough recording program. You can study sound engineering through the music school, or in conjunction with the electrical engineering department. I only know one person who was in that program so I can't tell you much more than...

I wouldn't be excited about or even contemplate signing any contract when, as you said, you have no idea what it means. I agree with the others who suggested you seek legal counsel on this, and I also recommend postng the terms of the contract here so we can give you more specific feedback...

What's worse is that there are like forty motherf*ckers out there whose hit songs I wrote first...

Back when I was in high school in the late nineties, there were several highly publicized KKK rallies in Ann Arbor, where I grew up. The publicity stemmed from a petition by the local community to deny the klan any opportunity to march. Ann Arbor is a very liberal town, and they clearly...

I've been told many times never to use condenser mics in smoky or humid venues, but I don't know the reasons behind it. Could somene explain that to me, and also tell me if the same consideration should be taken for guitar electronics? I've been playing in a lot of bars so far on the tour, and...

Sweetness, thanks!

Awesome... this is more or less what I was looking for, but if anyone knows the thread I'm looking for please let me know. Thanks Toon, Peter

Someone posted a list of radio stations not long ago, I believe it was in this forum. It had links to a few dozen websites that i believe were primarily college radio. I'm trying to find that list so I can mail CD's to them, but I can't track it down. Can anyone point me to the correct thread...

I've read through all of the information on the BMI site, and through some of the earlier posts here. What I couldn't find was any mention of potential disadvantages to joining BMI or a similar service. I don't expect to be getting a large amount of airplay, but I will be getting at least...

I would also recommend the Rode NT1 or NT1A. I've used those extensively and I'm very happy with the results.

I suggest that you negotiate with your customers the first few times you do it, then use the average as your standard rate.

ok, not active. I still want my duel though.

yeah, if they're the active model I'd be interested, and I could pick them up (as you know).
