Would any of the afore mentioned bass' or other bass' in their general price range deliver a good reggae bass sound (i.e. more of a bassy sound than a trebely sound)? I don't need to hear every definition of every note crystal clear, I'm more concerned with a good deep bass sound.

I think the real debate should be an ethical one. The working condition in China is notoriously inhumane, some of which includes prison labor. Many manufacturers sub contract their work to people who then subtract tht work out to others. Its hard for U.S. distributors to keep track of every...

What are these used for?

Very professional, guys. You obviously seem to have a pretty intermediate setup and the knowledge to go with it. Well done. One comment I have is the guitar sounds a little dry. But I'm listening in cans so take that as you will.

Well, shucks. Thanks for giving me the reality check. I was hoping I could forego actually researching and thinking about it enough to where I could form an educated outline for accomplishing my goal. :D I was hoping that maybe if I could find an unprecedented amount of blankets, foam, and egg...

Hm so now I'm a little confused about the wattage of an appropriate soldering unit. Is 60 watts too much in that its just not neccessary, and a 30 watt unit would be all I needed? Or, is 60 watts going to complicate things when dealing with cables and should be avoided? This is the unit I'm...

Heat shrink tubing? Cool. What do you use as the heat source? Also, do you have any idea what temperature (ballpark) I should be soldering at? Or does it matter? Just want to make sure I'm not going to fry the crap out of my solder/cable. One Hakko station I'm looking at has a range of 392°F...

Hey thanks a lot DJL and Marik. What about a crimping tool? I've seen these recommended on various sites, are they neccessary for any of the cable types I've mentioned, or have you ever found the need to use one?

Well, I have some questions. All this talk of making your own cables has sparked my interest and I want to have a go at it. My questions are: 1) What tools will I need to make: a)XLR cables b)1/4" cables c)RCA cables 2) Are there any resources, tutorials, or FAQ's anyone would...

Well, sound-wise anyway. I plan to use my garage for recording this summer, and have a virtually non-existant budget for sound proofing/room treatment, etc. So basically, I just want to deaden the shit out of it. Egg cartons, old blankets, cardboard, whatever I can rummage out of the dump/thrift...

I think it depends on how much your concerned about your overall sound quality. IMO, the quality of your cables should at least compare with the quality of the gear you are using. A $1000 instrument, recorded with a $700 mic, through $800 preamp, and into an $500 sound card isn't really going to...

Awesome. Very well done. Definitely works as an instrumental. Vocals could either make this song amazing or ruin it, would be interesting.

Hey thanks Dethska, thats what I gathered, but just wanted to hear someone's direct experience with each. I think I'll be picking up an SP B1.

Oh, hah, I should have thought of that, thanks. I was able to find quite a bit of material on the SP 1, but not much on the behringer or much comparison between the two.

I really apoligize if this has been covered to point of nausea in the past, if so just ignore this post. But since the search here won't accept a 2 letter search term "b1" and I didn't see this covered in the sticky's, could anyone share their experience with one or both of the mics to give me...

Clean tracking and mix, I think the genre is pretty well represented, however dismal it may be. Vocals do need to come up. Sounds very well produced overall.

Damn you sure got that kick and bass down low. Very tight though.

Ahaha! I got quite a kick out of it after reading everyone else's comments first. I too would be impressed if you could play that exact same thing again. The abrupt and random sounding signature changes do give it a disconnected feel. It sort of sounds like 10 different songs that you took short...

Hey, great stuff. I really liked the song. The only thing I noticed is the guitar sounds somewhat bass heavy. Might tweak the EQ a bit. I'm not an expert on guitar micing, but it sounds like things generally were done as they should have been. What mic/equipment did you use? What kind of mic...

My biggest quall with "sandimas" is the drum recording. I really think you'd be better off with samples or loops. It just sounds like it was recorded on a really poor quality kit with one radioshack mic. One thing that would significantly improve the sound of the kit overall is making some...
