    renter's insurance for studio gear?

    Well if your home owners insurance finds out you are running a business in your home with no commercial liability coverage (for the business) they will usually cancel you. You're agent might let it slide or turn a blind eye, but the insurance company feels differently and that agent is not doing...

    renter's insurance for studio gear?

    Yep. Those home office endorsements are for incidental things you may bring home from work to work on and things like that. If you have people coming into your home and you are charging them for it you need a business policy. The liability is where the money comes in. I have seen alot of...

    renter's insurance for studio gear?

    Yes. There is more risk taking you stuff out and about than having it sit in your bedroom. That is if I understand you correctly. Also the average person would not have the gear you may have. This is going to bring up questions.... F.S.

    Don't expect cheap practice amps ...

    small, cheap and shitty sounding are three different things. I learned this on Sesame Street. While most small cheap amps tend to suck, there is an exception to every rule. F.S.

    Learning/playing/buying an upright bass

    If you can handle a fretless bass you can handle an upright, but they are a pretty good workout to play. The only way you are4 going to know how one sounds is to play it. They have wood ones and fiberglass ones too. They even have carbon fiber ones:D I have played them several times. It would...

    Sunn 2000s head re-cap.

    I picked up a sunn 2000s stack a while back. It sounds awsome;) It's obvious the tubes have been replaced but, I was wondering if there is any obvious way to tell if it has been re-capped. I hear that the caps where the weak link on these heads. If anyone is familiar with these heads I could...

    .wav to .mp3 converter ? help ?

    I assume you are on a mac w/protools ??? You could always put the wave on a music CD and then rip it into windows media player on a pc. I am sure you have the same option on a mac with I tunes. It's the long way around but will save you having to load more sodtware. You may just be able to...

    Is it O.K. to Clip instead of Limit?

    Yes. Some systems handle clipping better than others do. You have to look at it in digital terms. It's all a bunch of numbers until it hits the end users DA converters. Samples are just that. Little dots in time along a waveform. The DA converter plays connect the dots based on pre programmed...

    Question on fender strats.

    There is a strat for sale in my town for $300.00. I'm not a fender guy but, I was wondeing if there is a way I can tell where it was made from the front.? I can't make out any words on the headstock. I figured a strat man might look at this and say "oh ya". It obviously says something under...

    Best bet for Lighting?

    We will see how good we really are and how many people will recycle them in the right place. Currently in our Portland suburb town, there is one place to take florecent bulbs and it is open 1/2 a day per month. The full energy consumption of cfl's has yet to be realized. PS: I use halogen...

    Best bet for Lighting?

    I had a 5 bulb chandalier in my old house with 40w bulbs in it. It pretty much heated the whole upstairs. CFL's done magicly make more light with less power either. They may use less energy in your home but, you can bet that the energy & material costs on the commercial manufacturing side is...

    Best bet for Lighting?

    Man:mad: What a crock! I will be stockpiling them:mad: I like using halogen my self, because I hate changing bulbs and I can usually pull a couple years out of them. I guess I'm going to whale oil lamps:o Fluorescent bulbs are better than they used to be but still suck all of the mood out of...

    Power amp tubes on an old peavey???

    Thanks Light. I just can't pay someone to do that:) I've got all the stuff to do it. I will follow the 8 pin taking care not to get zapped by a cap. I've been shocked so many times that I think I am immune:D I'll take care not to work on it in the bath tub though;) I'll see if I can get a...

    Power amp tubes on an old peavey???

    Ok, it's stupid question time. I have an old peavey classic vtx 212 amp that I never use. the last time I plugged it in it really sounded like crap. It used to sound goo......, well it used to sound ok at least;) It's a solid state pre with two 6L6 gc's on the power amp side. I was wondering if...

    Good headphone to check mix with

    I have a pair of the older akg k240df's and they work pretty well. Very detailed and pretty easy on the ears. Not loud phones though, you really could not use them for setup. F.S.
