As an aside to the obviously "main" topic here (foam pads) and go way of topic, the actual stand looks pretty good. Sturdy, clean design, good utility and clean lines. My only criticisms would be maybe a bit too purpose-built (a different keyboard or monitors might look strange on that exact...

It appears the consensus is, yes!

I agree with you, Arm, but geech, go easy on the noob, okay?

I kinda like the band 'Fun!" but they over-use auto tune, and it is irritating. But not so fast, everyone. I saw Emerson, Lake and Palmer in 1974, and when Keith Emerson was playing with one hand and lifting a longneck with the other, the crowd cheered- I did, too, until I saw a slide...

Homerecording.com needs a live sound forum... Scored a 1-15 powered sub a while back, very cheap, b/c the power amp was blown. I'm looking for a 500-watt or better amp to drive it- plate mount like what was there would be nice, but almost impossible to find, used. So, rack mount it will...

The probably fell through the holes. I'd look in the crawl space under your house.

Oh, that happens here, too! Just got lucky that day. Scored two other guitars the same day, the same way- popping in on garage sales and if I didn't see any guitars, asking if they had any. Others were a 50's Kay flattop acoustic for $10, and an apparently home-built flattop acoustic that the...

My, my, what a difference a little bit of time can make. I remember when you and I would be at each other's throats with sharp, jagged-edge knives over far less, Greg. I drifted away from HR for a while, had some not-too-pleasant stuff happen to me during that hiatus, and when I came back a...

Picked up a Squire strat at a garage sale. Five bux. Nothing wrong with it, functionally- the kid has spray-painted the top- with pick guard, bridge, EVERYTING, still in place, with red oxide primer. Some Urethane bumper paint stripper and steel wool took it off; buffing with my high-speed...

Okay, I am going to settle in and really light into this thread. I speak from the perspective of an investor and part-owner of a pro studio, which no doubt colors (purple?) my opinions expressed here. First, to address the OP's questions and thoughts: 7-12 songs is not the best approach. As...

Ah, Mutt's one of the guys here who, if you say it's green, he'll say it's red. He's just a contrarian, Lord love him. He may be right about the Uke tuning thing (I'm too sleepy to think enough to figure it out,) but man, oh, MAN, does he like to say

Gearing up for backline for several rock n roll summer camps, and finding gear for my son's recording/rehearsal studio, I have bought more drum sets that most non-drummers, and probably many drummers, too. From my experience: $1000 gets you darn decent drums, even bought new. Two that I have...

Glad it helped. Really, all the manufacturers watch each other very closely, so features on one will be very much like the others. Most everything is made in China, too, so that leaves you price, company reputation and new/used as your primary criteria. That was behind my recommendation for...

I noticed back in the 60's and 70's that Janis Joplin and The Who both got away with dropping F bombs on their recordings ("Hey, hey, hey, fuckin' McGee" and "Who the fuck are you?" but now, "Who Are You?" has been edited to repeat "I really wanna know" a bit too often, now. AFAIK, Janis still...

I'd think that if you can find a vinyl mastering facility that can master it at 78rpm, it would play okay on a Victrola- and a more modern turntable that could do 78rpm. That said, there may not be that many machines- vic's or tables- that could play it, so you might be seriously restricting...

Geez, dude, some times it takes a few days for the people who are even slightly qualified to reply or even just SEE a post. Google the products you are considering, with "review" after the product name. That will give a relative idea. Not ragging on you, but you seem to be kinda all over...

In general about the BRANDS you mention, but not the specific products... Alesis is primarily a "pro-sumer" company at best, as is most Soundcraft in the budget range you are probably thinking. Behringer has a reputation of being close to junk, not just here but in general- some pro tech...

Just do NOT run a cable from the speaker-out of the PA to the Zoom R-24- you will likely fry the R-24.

When he was young and still living at home with me, my Son was jonesin' to go to FullSail. Tuition was something like $50,000, and i didn't have the money. Ultimately, he attended Delgado Community College, which has a studio recording program- good instructors, good equipment. David would go...

You MIGHT want to buy and try one of those 4-input, 80-100 watt 3-box PA systems you see everywhere for about $250 (YMMV.) If you buy new from Sam Ash or Guitarget, you have 30-45 days to return it. If you had to "fill" the space with sound, it would probably not do, but I'll bet the...
