Did I screw up? I'll try again. Left ear doesn't receive as meny dB as right ear so, the sound appears to come more from the right. So in my "close eyes and centre the sound" test, I panned the balance to the left so that it sounded like centre for me. "Dead center for me showed the balance to...

Hi all. I always knew something was not right. The hearing test confirmed it - my left ear is certainly lacking in most of the frequencies they measured. My right ear is ok (for it's age). Does it bother me? Never. Actually I'm not even aware ... except for when I'm mixing down my music. Here...

Rock and roll man, rock and .... ummmm .. something. FM

Not that I'm an expert, but I have heard the results for myself with both DI and mic'ing. Definitely better in my opinion. After doing this I threw the question to some pro bass players and they said both DI and Mic each bring something to the sound that the other doesn't have. Since my short...

For all those who keep two separate tracks, the down side for me is that most times I end up editing the track in some way and you have to deal with two tracks. On the other hand, would I trust myself to commit to mixing the sound to one track - nope! Sounds like most people keep 'em separate...

Hi all, I have a bass amp now to mic up, like the big boys. If I wanted to record two sources, one DI and the other a mic on the cabinet for a bass track, how would you choose to arrange this in your DAW? Would you have a mono track with both sources mixed or would you have this as two tracks...

Yeah? No problem with the soldering iron at all. Will the Monte Allums mod kit get me some descent compression? Cheers, FM

Thanks for all your replys. Good info. Can you explain what makes the difference between a good compressor and a bad compressor? What do I listen for? If I bought one, mine would get two uses: Between my guitar and my amp for when I record (mainly single note solo stuff - my brain doesn't do...

Hi guys, I've been playing guitar forn quite a while, but as far as gear goers I never looked deep into any pedals or amps. Really, I'd say zero experience here. What does compression do for *you* and where do you put it in your effects chain? I'd really appreciate your info here. Cheers, FM

Thanks all. Went to the shop yesterday. Got a big run down from the guy. For lower end of the budget, whilst still being able to easily produce quality sound against a drum kit and band, he was talking Genz Benz which is the back friendly setup - man it was light...

Thanks all. I've just spent 6 months with my new Blues Jr Class A valve amp and understand the difference between solid state and valve sound for guitar. I definitely prefer valve. :cool: So, cut to this thread about me and bass amps, I'm totally lost with the valve vs solid state thing. Is...

Yep. Welcome to the club. I started using the JD stubbies years ago and I reckon I've got at least $50 worth of them flaoting around the house. I was thinking about this the other week - for me it actually doesn't matter if it's 1mm, 2mm or 3mm or the stubby vs the full size version. It's the...

Thanks guys. I'm just trying to make some basic sense of it all. Ggun, If you gig with 300W, can I assume that this enough for my purposes? Or is live setup (via DI) something different? Also, will something like a 2x10 be adequate for reproducing notes evenly down to low B? ( I know it has...

Hi all, I'm looking at playing bass in a drum/bass/guitar/(Other instrument) format just for fun, using a practice-studio sized room. I have a little BTB 6 string with passive Bartonini pickups and an active eq. I like him, he does a good job for recording. Can you guys shoot some basic info...

The nut. No one has mentioned the nut. You can lock the tuners all you like but if the string slips throught nut, you're out of tune. FM

Yep, I'm with you. I treated my room and had fantastic results in comparison to when it was un-treated. Someone suggested that I mearure it with REW and, well, I still go back and tackle that task every now and then but I 'aint got there yet! +1 on Jlewis' advice. That's exactly how I treated...

It's been a looooooong time since I've used one, but this is what I remember. It was edequate in producing sound. It's feel was ordinary. It was a pain to stand it up somewhere during rehersals. It wasn't mine so i can't comment on obtaining strings or restringing, but I do remember someone...

This gets a big tick in my book. Fantastic effort man. You're certainly getting guitar sounds that I dream about getting. Do you have a count of hours to put this together? Cheers, FM

Hi there, Wow, this is a seriously large and open ended question! Start by nailing down what you want and need first. ie What's wrong with your current usb mic ? Does it not do everything you need it to? If you gave your USB mic to some of the guys around here, (although they'd hate it)...

Ok, so XLR splitter it is then. Cheers. FM
