    Acoustic Strings

    i've had EXPs once and i'm not planing on buying them again. the set i had wasn't intonating correctly no matter how i tuned the guitar. maybe it was a friday afternoon set or something. i dunno. i went back to elixir custom lights and thats that. i might try the new phosphor bronze elixirs in...

    the CA-30 is an awesome little tuner.

    Calibrating your tuner... help!

    that's certainly not true. one click on either of the two calibration buttons raises or loweres the Hertz value of the A note by exactly 1Hz which is far from being one half step in the chromatic system. note that the rest of the notes will shift up or down in relation to that...the A note is...

    V-neck vs regular C-neck

    bs. but yeah...when playing with the thumb being the only thing touching the back of the neck a V neck is great. it lets your thumb rest nicely on the neck and relaxes the muscles.

    Fender Hot Rod Deluxe...Where Did My Reverb Go?

    this means that the send from the preamp section to the reverb tank is faulty. the return seems to work.

    Yamaha MG 16/4 mixer distorts with gain knob at zero. no headroom at all.

    i already tried that. it increaces the level of the hercules input by 10db which makes it even worse. actually i'm pretty certain that the unit is faulty. i tried literally everything. i studied the MG 16/4 manual today...nothing. i'll take pictures of the whole thing tomorrow. although i'm...

    Yamaha MG 16/4 mixer distorts with gain knob at zero. no headroom at all.

    thanks for the replies so far everyone. i've already tried everything that's been mentioned so far. it's still clipping like hell. did the whole phantom power on/off, turn every knob down as far as it goes, i have the originial power supply, did the whole fader thing (it's pre fader). could...

    Yamaha MG 16/4 mixer distorts with gain knob at zero. no headroom at all.

    TS. but it's already heavily clipping in the board when i monitor the snare or kick channel with PFL. the same goes for any other source i capture with the MG mixer. such as Hi-Hat or OHs. but i have external pres for those now.

    Yamaha MG 16/4 mixer distorts with gain knob at zero. no headroom at all.

    yes, i have. and it's perfect with the dmp3. i use the inserts on the MG 16/4 as direct outs with the one click method and then go directly into my soundcard. here's a pic of the board http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/koguregakki/img1050587256.jpeg EDIT: oh and, yes, i also tried the MG 16/4...

    Yamaha MG 16/4 mixer distorts with gain knob at zero. no headroom at all.

    does anyone know why the pres on the MG series do that? i'm close micing a snare with an sm57 and a bassdrum with a D112 and all i get is a horribly distorted drumsound. my mics have no pads and neither does the mixer (?) so i don't really know what to do. i'm using the dmp3 for the B1s as OHs...

    yamaha dx7

    i know that this synth has been discussed several times here. though, it would be nice if someone could clear some things up for me regarding the sounds that this 80s synth can achieve. i'm confused by the whole concept of those little flash cards or whatever they are. are they still...

    Rode NT1 vs. MXL 603 (OH)

    i'd keep both nt1 mics and use them for quieter drum recordings and get the 603s for the rock sound.
