    Simple question: How many dB to record at?

    Gut punch, but well deserved. I think, personally, I spend more time worrying about niggling little details that completely drain me of the only thing I really need, and that's creativity. Thanks @Dusty Ol' Bones for the reality check.

    Treble bleed circuit

    Just for giggles I just checked the treble roll off on my Epi P90 LP, and a Firefly SG with SD Pearly Gates pups, and noticed the same thing. the next question is do you approach linear pots the same way as log pots?

    Treble bleed circuit

    That's a very interesting question. I never really paid any attention to it till now. And now I wonder. My Tele loses its high end when I back off the volume, especially the neck pup. My Strats, which have Seymours, suffer the same. I think it's a good way to go. PITA to do the wiring, but...

    Simple question: How many dB to record at?

    Yeah, it could. I think if you take into account the latency. i.e. phase shift, at the end of the day, it would significantly reduce the noise. It is being used in automotive applications already. I can't cite anything, but I do remember that noise cancellation tech in the cockpit of an auto...

    Simple question: How many dB to record at?

    Balanced Line - Wiki "Many explanations of balanced lines assume symmetric signals (i.e. signals equal in magnitude but of opposite polarity) but this can lead to confusion of the two concepts—signal symmetry and balanced lines are quite independent of each other." -G. Ballou, Handbook for Sound...

    Simple question: How many dB to record at?

    What might be an interesting experiment, and this pretty much how noise-cancelling headphones work. 1. Set up a mic and record a few minutes of just ambient room noise. 2. Record your guitar and singing on separate tracks. 3. Invert the phase on the room recording. 4. Mix them all together on...

    Wouldn't It Be Nice...Design Idea

    I think that's for the cables only. True, at 10A @ 230V. Yet still enough for a 3kW fan.

    Nice amp!

    Wouldn't It Be Nice...Design Idea

    Wouldn't it be nice if amp manufacturers would include an AC outlet on the back of practice amps so you could just plug your pedal board there rather that plug it in to a separate outlet?

    If you're whistling on a recording, please turn in your mics & headphones...

    I can't whistle. But when I die, I am going to tell Otis Redding what you said, and ask him to haunt you for eternity. :spank:

    Is there a 'typical' eq and FX setting for a male vocal?

    You are wise beyond your education.

    Is there a 'typical' eq and FX setting for a male vocal?

    Hmmm. "it DON'T". Rather than get into a row about condensers and capacitors, I would much prefer your opinion on your grammar.

    When the going gets tough

    "Feet are not to be sniffed at." Thank you very much for this :love: I've always been a fan of "Brit Wit" ever since I was a young child. Unfortunately we were not exposed to much. Dudley and Moore were a staple on Ed Sullivan, but that was about it. The older me met the Pythons in the late 60s...

    PS: If you're trying to EQ your own voice? Don't. Get a friend to help.

    I also just saw this same post on the Steinberg forum. Are you sure you don't have the NT1?
