or even compare them to the Tannoy System 600A's. KRK V6? Mackie HR624? are these higher end monitors that much of an improvement over the 8.2 actives?

yeah, sorry bout that. i'm just learning and sometimes forget my physics. the tube walls are thin enough that they will allow lower frequencies to go through them. they're really just monitor stands but they will work to some extent as a trap. i'm gonna have other traps also so i'm not relying...

i've been reading a lot of good things about these Wharfedale's. Can someone give me an honest comparison to some higher end monitors? I want to get some monitors really soon but i'm just not sure how much i should spend. i guess my high limit is $800 for a pair. How do they compare to KRK...

phil keaggy. although i know a lot of guitarrists know about him i don't think many realize how good he actually is. he's just a wealth of melody. i agree with some peoples adversion to just naming the "fastest" player around. although speed/dexterity is highly valued i don't see how it can be...

you can also use fret/string dressing like ghs fretfast. it also has to do with your playing. as you play more you'll begin to learn how to manipulate or eliminate things like squeaking

I'm building some membrane traps for my project studio and i'm just wondering, what determines the affected frequency? is the frequency based on the size of the membrane or the depth of the trap? if size of the membrane, is it similar to a quarter-wave pipe? if depth, is there a calculation to...

hey, i'm in the same situation. I'm putting my project studio into my sister's/brother-in-law's house because there is no room where i live. i can't make any permanent alterations to the room since its not my house. ok, first to your mode calculations then i'll tell you what i'm doing to my own...

24/96 mainly because i can. the 24 bit is nice because i don't need to worry about clipping quite as much. 96 just because i can. i'm thinking about 88 just so i don't have to alias in order to get down to 44.1 but i'm not completely sure what the differences would be.

nope, i actually think technology has helped me get better. the best training tool i have is my boss rc20. its a phrase sampler and playing with it helps me stay in time and think of new lines. it really expands my creative thinking. i could sit in my room with this thing for a few days and...

i got my firepod about a month ago but i've only been able to use it twice. it was definitely an upgrade from my tascam us122. i wanted the firepod because it has 8 mic pres. my other option was the motu828 but it doesnt have 8 pres. i would have had to buy a seperate set of mic pres in order to...

i have the senn HD280 and i enjoy them very much. although i can't wear them for extended periods of time if they are not producing sound. it gives me a headache. but i think that is due to air pressure. i don't have a problem wearing them for a long time as long as there is sound coming out of...

i'm not a bassist in the most liberal sense of the word. however, when i do pick one up i play with my fingers. i'm sure thats partly because of the style of music. i like the softer attack of fingers compared to a pick.

i've been thinking about the Pod but haven't played around with one since they were introduced. when i first tried one i thought it was "sterile." there was no warmth. i'm eager to try out a Vox Tonelab. it uses a 12ax7 for a preamp so i would imagine that it would sound much warmer than the...

if you can take off the grill then its ok to use soap and water. i clean my beta57 this way. if, like a typical sm57, you can't take off the grill; hold the mic upside down and brush the grill with a soft-bristled tooth brush.

you should check ebay also. the 57's shouldn't cost you more than 50 each (i actually found a beta57 for 65 on ebay) you also might want to look into getting something other than a 57. i've heard good things about the sennheiser 835 (already mentioned). i have a senn e609s and i like it a lot...

wow, everybody is a little uptight today. it is ok, i've been seeing it all day. everywhere i've gone today people have been uptight and easily offended. i haven't been part of this forum for long but i think forum manners do exist. for one, don't go cussing people out while asking them for...

they become vintage when someone will pay a lot of money for them. i personally think guitar prices should be based on tone not age. there are some 86 teles that sound better than the 76's (3 bolt neck crap). typically the "vintage" name is reserved for things more than 20 years old but i'm not...

i haven't used any of the mxl's or joemeek's but i'm very happy with my superlux's. i got a stereo matched pair with individual frequency response curves(noted with serial numbers) for around 200. i think the price went up to $230 now but they are still really good mics. i don't know about...

you listed 4 mics so i guess you're looking for at least 4 channels. i would suggest getting 2 FMR RNC's and then the Funklogic rack face for them. They work alright on drums. I usually like the soft knee mode better and use it with vocals.

i've used the waves bundle and its pretty nice. the L2 on it works really well for a buss limiter. however, i don't really like to compress the final project too much. I'm not keen on using too much of a buss limiter. i think it just makes the whole project too loud and gets rid of dynamics. i...
