    Noobie Question

    Definatly record with a click track and idealy you could get an audio inteface like the M-Audio Mobile Pre or the Mackie Blackjack. I would recommend the black jack from personal experience because it has the same preamp as the Mackie Onyx 1640i has which is what I use for recording everything...

    Very High Pitched Noise!

    A 1/4 (or TRS) and the XLR are both balanced connections (in and sleeve to ground, pin 2 and tip to signal hot, and pin3 and ring to signal cold) and the input on your monitors may be in parallel so your probably right that it wouldn't make a difference, unless the 1/4 connection your using is...

    300$ Budget To Mix

    I've used Sony MDR 7506's for mixing but only for live events when I don't have a choice but for a different reason than you have. They have worked great for what I have used them for and that's all I can really think of right now from my personal experience. I know Sennheiser and...

    Very High Pitched Noise!

    You could also try a power conditioner if nothing else solves it, but that costs money. FurmanSound.com - Pro A/V Product - M-8x2

    Help Working With Others

    It was a volunteer gig that I was looking forward but I decided the best way to deal with him is to just let him take care of the whole thing since he wanted to so badly, so then I'm not involved if something goes wrong.

    Help Working With Others

    Its the venues but I'm bring some mics and other misc. things headphones, adapters, spare cable etc. Maybe I'm being to harsh on him since its not my gear.

    Help Working With Others

    In a few days I'm mixing for a show where originally I was supposed to be the only engineer, but now someone else (who won't be named) is now trying to take over and seems to think that we should switch off mixing every few songs. He is pretty much clueless but thinks he knows every thing. I...

    Post Your Analog Recordings Here...

    Good Song, Nice mix, I like how there isn't very much master compression which I think is something that music has way to much of now.

    Flip Top Transformer

    I was just putting the amp into stand by before shutting it down completely and it just died then and there. It's 47 years old I think it just has to do with age and deterioration of the insulation on the windings. I've been checking other components but unfortunately the amp was built long...

    Flip Top Transformer

    I have an Ampeg B15 N with a bad power transformer. I have found some replacements online, but $220 seams like too much for a PT. Does anyone know where I can get one that is equivalent? Please no suggestions for trying to rewind the PT myself.

    I'm a bass player myself so I guess that gives me the right to criticize my own kind.:D

    Clicking/Popping Noise with Amp!

    Just a guess but it sounds like it might interference to me. Might be something on the same AC circuit or some EMI/ RF related noise.

    Sound Engineer for Pub

    Speaking of the musicians with bad technique, how about drummers who seem to think they're in a stadium when they're clearly not?

    Headphone Help.

    I'm looking for some headphones to use in the studio as a reference and as a reference for troubleshooting/ monitoring at live performances. I need something with an accurate frequency response, decent isolation, and something reliable. I don't want to pay more than $150 but would pay up to...

    Quick PA question

    My experience with a smaller PA is from a 4 piece band I do sound for. We use 2 Mackie SRM 450v2s for the mains and 2 MackieSRM1801 for the subs. The mains have a 300 watt RMS LF and 100 watt RMS HF amp built in. The subs have a built in 500 watt RMS amp. Our drummer plays far from quite and...

    My Third Recording!

    Your guitar will still sound out of tune if its not intonated properly even if all the open strings are perfectly in tune.
