    Noise Gate Recommendation?

    It does have a noise gate; hold tap & turn the reverb knob to past 12'o'clock.

    Bass drum mic technique

    We replaced our drummer's felt beater head with a wooden one when we weren't getting enough attack. This helped. I found the best sound came from putting the 52 inside the hole, not inside the drum. Like sickmelvin said, with the blue ring even with the head. Also make sure the hole is offset...

    Bass drum mic technique

    We use a beta 52 for kick also. I cut a hole in the front head & position the mic in the hole pointing at the spot where the beater strikes the head. The beta 52 is designed to emphasize the attack & bottom end of a kick drum. It's great for rock music, but not for everything. It definitely...

    newbie question-how do I do this??

    sound card is m-audio audiophile 2496. It does have the GSIF drivers. Giga seems to only want .gig files & I couldn't figure out how to convert wave files to .gig. I can't use Soundfonts unless I have a Creative card right?

    newbie question-how do I do this??

    I want to set it up so I can play wav files on my computer from a keyboard, each key triggering a different wav file. I have a trial edition of giga sampler, but can't figure out how to do it with that (hell, I can't seem to do anything with it!). I downloaded a trial version of mellosoft, but...

    History of the drum kit

    When did people start playing drums as a kit the way we know it today (ie. kick, snare, toms, hihat, cymbals)? Was there one drummer who came up with this format, or did it develop over time?

    Best tone

    I also just recently was turned onto Frank Black's 'Teenager of the Year' cd. Although there are a few different guitarists on it, the guitar tones on the whole disc kick ass (as do the songs). ok, I'll shut up now.

    Seck mixers

    Well, I bought the Seck. Han- The seller tells me the following: "The actual SECK 1882 board is all +4dBu (at unity gain) except for a few things. I think most of those can be modified to +4dBu, but it takes swapping resistors. The meter bridge converts the +4 group outputs to -10 for an...

    Seck mixers

    How does Seck compare to Soundcraft & Allen & Heath? Are the pres & eq's of the similar quality? I did a search here & didn't come up with much.

    ecm8000's whats the deal?

    I agree. I have both the 8000's and the 603's. 603's are better on both guitar & oh's, but I liked the 8000 on tambourine and sheep-hoof-shaker-thing. They also did good as a room mic recording a rock band. The combination of 8000 (above shoulder) and sp b3 (in front of guitar) worked well...

    define aftertouch

    So is what you're saying is that some synth patches produce one sound when the key is struck halfway & another sound when the key is pressed all the way down & a keyboard with aftertouch will allow you to get both sounds?

    USB midi controllers

    I see some cheap midi controllers for sale at MF (Midiman Keystation, Studiologic CMK161). Both claim to be powered via USB. Question is, can they be powered without the USB? I don't want to drag a computer to gigs. Any other opinions on these 2 midi controllers?

    Need a REALLY good multi-effects and/or Reverb rack unit for live guitar...

    I recently bought a TC Electronics M300 primarily for recording, but I love it in my guitar rig. No foot pedal control, though.

    Shure beta 52

    I like the beta 52 for the rock music I have been recording. You can listen to some tracks I recorded with it here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2649&alid=-1 I have no experience with the d112 or the beyer, but the re-20 has a flatter response where the 52 emphasizes the...
