I always shoot for micing the amp over any other technique. But thank God for direct line in jacks, because sometimes a mic isn't a great idea for other reasons. Same is true for live sound. When possible, everything is mic'd to FOH and then I pound on the band to keep stage level down as much...

I bet this'll make ya feel better bro.

They have antibiotics for that now, you know.

Got it. That was kinda what I meant in my own Adult ADD way. I agree with you about nipping it in the bud. I figure if Steve talks with the minister and walks, then this guy will understand what its like to get cut out and it might teach him a little humility. Then again, perhaps not. But if...

Part of their usefulness may have to do with the way you process information. I tend to process information visually. That means that thinking graphically - in 2d, 3d or whatever, allows me to become more intuitive about what I am doing. When I'm doing live sound, I depend on hardware graphic EQ...

Bob, [no stupid the OP was Steve!] Stevie - it seems to me that this guy is going to be a thorn in your side no matter what happens. If it were me, I would wait until all the dust settles and there are are no music demands on the immediate horizon with the church, and then have a talk with the...

Jeez... I was waiting to hear that the post office had returned it again as nobody could figure out how to actually deliver the thing. one of those job description things. Glad it all worked out!

You might also carry a few extra tools for when the band locks the keys in the car and so forth. Last time that happened it took a hell of a long time for them to get the bass player out.

I use both, exactly as suggested by Washburn100. I use a DPS16 for multitrack live recordings in the field and then dump the files into my DAW at home. I rely on visual as well as audio cues when editing, plus I have severe vision problems. Teeny tiny LCD screens just do not work for me. So the...

I never do a gig without an extra DI box.. Basically I'm a rolling ad for Subaru - how much will fit in there? I used to have a pickup truck with a cap and it was loaded to the gills. Then I stopped bringing subwoofers and realized that i never really needed them in the first place.. Ever since...

It's a travesty that AKAI had to pull out of the market when it had the best product in the business1

"Owens corning equivalent" can mean almost anything... I'd want to know why these are for sale.

Seriously, I would definitely swap those strings for a set of lights. Coated strings like nanoweb strings will be even easier for her. And if it were me messing with that guitar, I'd start with Muttley's suggestion and drop the saddle height 10 - 15 %. If you sight down the frets from the nut to...

The biggest limitation of my system is the operator.

And electrics are for soft-spoken, sweater wearing, girly men with baby-butt soft fingertips and no hand strength. C'mon Greg. Tell your wife she will never be a real guitar player until her fingers bleed. Then raise the action and put super heavy's on that thing.

I have an idea for the A/C. Build a vented box outside and mount the unit inside the box. Build a small chase up the outside wall to the A/C window, run flexible 4" pipe through it (cheap drainage pipe or even clothes dryer exhaust ducting should be fine) and turn the window space into an...

How about fiberglass insulation between the interior and exterior boxes? If you're after isolation of the interior box, think about suspension with bungee cords. Its the same way a microphone is suspended in a mount. Use a zig sag of bungee cord on all four sides of the front and the back to...

Then again I got my first unit cheap after the kid loaded the peanut butter and jelly sandwich into it because the tape went all over the living room. So I might have been rong about that whole digital thingie part. It was Jif crunchy. Kind of a warm sounding peanut butter.
