Hey Colin.....no worries. It's not about asking you to stop posting...so don't stop. Mick

Hey....no worries. I bumped it to keep it going. Not for nothing though....this conversation has evolved...let's say....out of the realm of equipment where it began....long ago. The good thing is that some of you seem to enjoy this thread....which is a double edged problem. If someone posts...

You know.....that's not a bad idea. I'll look into that. Perhaps we can buy one and bring it to rehearsal each time. Maybe there's one can that be folded up and transported easily. Or maybe we could make one. Or maybe we can just store one at the rehearsal studio. I've never played live...

Ok....I give up. Was trying to ask a question about IEM's in this thread called "Gear Reviews and Questions" and my posts keep getting bumped by a long running discussion about learning violin and garden work. Ok.....I'm being unreasonable. I know it. Sorry. But you have to...

Hi Guy........welcome! Yeah.....seems to be a common rehearsal space problem. I neglected to mention that our drummer wears earplugs (because he already has tinnitus) that lower the sound by about 15db. They're just run of the mill foam types. He does realize that they make the sound muddy...

Hey spantini......you got it. The drummer is loud and even though the band trys to start the rehearsal out at a low volume....the volume quickly creeps up. It becomes a giant squall of sound that overpowers the ability to clearly hear tones and dynamics....not to mention that it over powers...

I'm thinking of rigging up a system for the practice studio only for me only. A good mic in the middle of the room (or wherever it sounds best)...plugged into a small mixer/amp that I can wirlelessly send to wireless closed back headphones with good isolation or some wireless IEM's. Seems like...

Yup...believe it or not that works great. I have a setup like that at home for my musical friends and band mates. I live in a neighborhood that isn't good for live band practice. Here's my setup. I use an old Tascam DP-24 as a mixer....since I had one I used to record with before. 8 inputs...

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! Hey Beak......got any more of that mary jane?

Hey spantini...thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it. I've tried no less than 9 different hearing protection plugs for musicians and others. None of them get anywhere near a "balanced" sound blocking. A couple are a bit better....but not by much. All of them reduce the levels...

I've been trying to find ear plugs for use at band practice. I've tried MANY....all for professional musicians....even a custom set....but they all do the same thing. They do cut down the db's and some are better than others at maintaining fidelity across the frequencies but let's face...

Hey...welcome! We need a bit more to help you out. Tell us what equipment you are using (mic...tape....Audio Interface...DAW...whatever) and maybe some of the settings you use. We can take a look at them online and see what they can do and how to use them. Also...and this is important....we...

Hello Tym...and welcome to the forum! What you've outlined will certainly work...but I have a couple questions. Personally I think it could be a bit of overkill but we don't really know what your overall goal is. Are you planning to have a bussiness or is this for personal use? Why not an...

Dave.....the OP also admitted that he had never really tried to crank up the amp. Most replies pretty much told him to turn it up and see. Assuming he finally did that....he probably found out that the amp is really "much louder" than he thinks. Many who replied told him that the 40 watt...

Hey Dave....I was not saying that valve amps and solid state amps are equal in "loudness" (or anything else for that matter). I was saying that stats and tests are what they are....as in....they are what they reveal. "Loudness" is not so terribly subjective as to be difficult to discuss...

I have the fender Champion 40 and it's LOUD for sure. It holds it's own in every venue but fairly large ones. Our lead player has the same amp but with a different Celestion speaker (can't remember which one) and it is even louder....but it also has a slightly different tone than mine. Since...

I have a pair of matched Oktava MK-012 mics. I also have an omni capsule for one of them. IMO they are best used on string instruments and piano recording...but I have actually used them to record voice. They add a touch of "clean" warmth to voices that could use it. Mick

I have the older version TC Helicon Voicelive Touch. It mounts on a mic stand. It does take a little time to understand the tons of adjustments and effects to get the best out of the unit...but once you do it's an awesome live and recording harmonizer. Simple taps on the control face can be...

Yes....I love the tone of my Epi SG G400. And...for me...it's playable now and enjoyable. I forgot to mention that I initally tried the old style method of connecting the strap to the head piece....you know...like we used to do with acoustics back in the day. That created the exact opposite...
