1. True, but optical cables are more easily damaged. Runs are limited to <20' and they don't like to be bent into tight turns. 2. Actually, they are vulnerable to EMF's. I think you meant to say they reject RFI. Drone.

My theory is that they already have their own knobs to twist- what's the draw? Drone.

-> This is a place where a lot of talented people act like fools, and a lot of fools act like talented people. -> I learned the best piece of gear is the "right" piece of gear- not necessarily the most coveted or expensive. -> Rep is a real hoot.

Maybe you suck....or maybe you don't and you aren't doing anything 'wrong' at all. Music is art. Art is subjective. While you may not like the sound of your own voice, others may love it. Show me an artist (sculptor, painter, whatever) who isn't self conscious at his/her gallery debut and I'll...

The legendary recording of Muddy Waters' Folk Singer (1964) has always held a special place in my heart and mind. For this fan, about the only thing that competes with the performance itself is the room's acoustic properties- easily imagined and reproduced on a good HiFi. When I listen to it, I...

PM sent! :) I think I'm gonna go with an EV-RE20 for my first "real" vocal mic. I tried one out the other day and loved how forgiving and neutral it was. They seem to preserve the organic integrity of the human voice quite well. All in all I think it will be a good addition for a beginner like...

Thanks. I have a pair of Bryston 2B-LP's that will work (for now)....but I'm not crazy about 'em. Drone.

Thank you. I was hoping someone would confirm that....I know they were highly regarded at one time...just didn't now if they still earned that reputation considering the current advancement of engineering and value (Asian market) . The guy I'm buying them from is an old classmate and he's giving...

Like the title says, my Tascam US2000 came with LE5. I found it cumbersome, so on a whim I installed Reaper and it seems so much more intuitive to me. I immediately found myself whipping around on it like I had been using it for months...and I love some of the effects for guitar. I got a great...

I can think of all my favorite bands and I can't imagine any of those singers asking for the opinions of strangers. By the way, do you think my voice makes me look fat? Drone.

Like what Greg said- it's called "setting the action" as in: You want a guitar technician to set your action for you. He (or she) will ideally have you play a couple of different guitars lying around and see which one feels best to you. They can set yours up with similar action. This is a very...

I have a chance to buy a pair of these legends from a guy I know in Murfreesboro, TN. They came out of a studio in Nashville. My intention would be to use these for mixing. Are these relevant (today)? Could I do better for the $$$? I love Tannoys...I have owned many types and while they...

Well, you guys have certainly given me a lot to research. I'm developing a bit of an obsession with mics, and I just started in this hobby! If I won the lottery, I'd own a bunch of old ribbon mics- just to sit on the mantle if nothing else (but I'm pretty sure I could find other uses for them)...

So nice. I've been eyeing up the little D3M's for some time now...heard them once and loved how articulate they were. Drone.

Yep. Looks just like my rig...(I wish!!). Seriously, that's absolutely lovely. Great pics, too!! *edit: ..thought I recognized those towers- Tyler's, right? Drone

Dunno- someone didn't like me in green, I guess. I've been good. I know the rep thing is a big game, so I'm trying not to take it personally. Still lovin' this place all the same, though! Drone.

You've encouraged me to check out the Rocktron. I love the idea of modelers, but was never quite seduced by one for the reasons I said above. The way you have described this unit- sounds like something I would appreciate.

Agree completely- especially with that last part. Without getting into a pissing contest with guys who use modelers, they simply don't do it for me. Don't get me wrong, I have friends who bring only a line6 pod to a gig and they get surprisingly good results from it (probably because it...

It's not terribly difficult to do. I did it once and had no real experience with it before. I followed the step-by-step guide I found in a luthier book and achieved very good results (swapped plastic for bone). I would try something "pre-slotted" and be prepared for a bit of filing to get it...

I keep logging on here and think I need to ask more questions, but it's pretty much all here. Did you know you can scroll down on the main forum page and find a section on equipment and even manufacturers!? Amazing. I had a question about Cubase- already covered. I had a question about my...
