    D/A converter

    what exactly does this do, and is it essential?? I am going to purchase two Bi-amped monitors but were considering two passives and a 500W studio amp. Would I need a D/A converter for either of these two setups?? Thanks.

    Vocal Booth Plans...

    does that sound booth work really well???? It looks pretty versatile and easy to set up. I was thinking of mounting a couple 703 panels on cheap mic stands using a PA speaker bracket on the top of the mic stands. so that I can move them around. The only problem, is building them so that you...

    Mineral Wool Vs. OC703 safety issues

    I know that these are fairly similar in acoustical properties. My question is, which one is more SAFE. Obviously I know that fiberglass is no good as far as skin contact and breathing in airborn fibers. Is mineral wool the sam :confused: e, or is it pretty much completely harmless to people...

    WOW! I'm Blown Away!

    I heard that its good if you wrap the 703 in this batting material..or is it baffling. ( I think its kinda like that fake white snow crap you wrap the base of your christmas tree. ) then wrap the thin cloth on top of that. Not only are you adding some more density to the 703, but it also helps...

    emperical labs distressor...warmth???

    I have small pockets and was looking for something in the 200 dollar range. I agree that "WARMTH" is very subjective, but a vocal that is dry and a vocal that has some processing to it, regardless of what you call it, is like night and day. I could try some plugins. It was more of a question...

    emperical labs distressor...warmth???

    I have seen some people talking about this for a mic chain. What exactly does it do? I have seen the Emperical Labs FATSO which is supposed to add warmth to digital. My next question is this....what is the best budget processor to kinda do the same thing ( obviously not as good as a 2500...

    Ascap or BMI

    BMI and ASCAP are what are known as PROs ( Performing Rights Organizations ). They serve many purposes but you can kinda think of them as a guild or union of sorts. They not only collect your publishing royalties ( I believe that they keep 50% though, so thats sometimes tough to chew. ), but...

    Copyright ???? On covers

    I guess you would say that your pastor should sleep in a gutter since he spends all of his free time at the church instead of a normal 9-5 job? The musicians who write those songs deserve to be paid fairly and evenly for their hard work. Sure they are doing it because they love to worship, but...

    Least expensive must-have mic

    you're right....cause he can afford an engineer to do it for him :D I actually stole that set up from a video on taylor guitars website. The placement of the 603 though is pretty common for acoustic micing.

    Least expensive must-have mic

    I could be wrong here, so anyone else feel free to chime in on this one. Its all preference anyway. You can aim the MXL 603 directly at the guitar at the beginning of the neck. Like kinda between the 12th fret and the soundhole. Then I would recommend maybe a large diaphram condensor to the...

    berry 2031A vs KRK rp-5 vs event ALP5 vs Alesis MKII

    that helps a lot. I am leaning pretty hard towards the KRK rp-5s or MAYBE the RP-6s....guitar center has a limited edition set of white RP-6s that look really clean. I was considering the behringers just because there is some voice in my head saying "settle for nothing smaller than an 8" sub"...

    berry 2031A vs KRK rp-5 vs event ALP5 vs Alesis MKII

    I also just found fostex makes MKII Active Nearfield Studio Monitors with 8 inch drivers in them. no reviews on MF though. Wonder if they are any good. Are fostex monitors usually junk?

    berry 2031A vs KRK rp-5 vs event ALP5 vs Alesis MKII

    yeah, I am 90% sure I am going to go with the KRK rp-5s. Unless I can find the RP-8s for under $400 bucks. by the way..the MKII also come in an active pair http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Alesis-Monitor-1-Active-MKII-Powered-Monitors?sku=603203 Any thoughts on the Berhinger truths...

    which monitors?

    yeah, I have been kinda fighting with myself on that one CC. I have heard the war stories of monitors sucking. I have pretty much heard atleast 1 person on here complain about pretty much EVERY monitor under 500 bucks because they happened to get a faulty one. Then again....that ebay sure...

    best investment?: mic or monitors?

    noone is an idiot. I think that all of your opinions raise valid points and different perspectives. I appreciate all of the help. I agree that I could probably do some half assed set up with blankets and crap, but I have this thing called a "wife" and quilts, blankets and matresses hanging off...

    room treatment advice.

    I have researched building some absorbers with some OC703. I am going to place on 2x4 panel horizontal on the wall behind my when I am mixing. then do the same to the wall behind my monitor ( or I may do two seperate 2x2 squares for directly behind the monitors. ) then to my direct left and...
