    Mixing the first song for my band's initial EP

    You'll get more feedback if you can put it where people can stream it instead of downloading.

    Low-Watt tube recording amp

    Another vote for Silvertone. I have an old Twin Twelve that has seen a lot of use over the last couple of years. It doesn't work for everything, but when you're looking for that tone, it's hard to beat.

    Microphone in this Black Keys vid?

    No clue what the mic is, but wow does that place bring back memories!!!! We were playing at a little place in the Tri-Cities called The Fillin' Station when the guitar player knocked over a Colorado Bulldog that was sitting on his Blues Deluxe. The output tubes (one of which I have displayed in...

    Just got a pair of Rokit 5's and they sound like...

    Would love to some day. I have enough of a hard time remembering how to get around Road Atlanta, would probably need a GPS at Nurburgring. :D I know all about the crowds of spectators at the crash spots from running off-road cross country races. :laughings:

    Just got a pair of Rokit 5's and they sound like...

    Interesting post. As both a club racer and a recording musician I can relate to the point you're trying to make. But... Let me make some additional analogies. I don't race cars, but do hold an Expert motorcycle roadracing license. In any type of racing, there are multiple classes. The guy on...

    Budget Les Pauls

    As soon as someone starts being more concerned about how much a guitar is worth more than how it plays and how it sounds, it should be forcibly removed from them. These asswipe "collectors" are actually just doing everything in their power to price good instruments out of reach for working...

    Budget Les Pauls

    Actually, yeah, there were a few guards. Insurance paid off on all the instruments, but they had to be destroyed. Evidently, a bunch of mint condition guitars are now mulch. :(

    Budget Les Pauls

    You guys would absolutely shit yourselves if you knew how many Gibson Les Pauls (and other Gibson guitars) went into the chipper after the flood.

    Equipping a venue for better recordings?

    The problem with doing that in a small venue is that the vocals usually come out way too hot from the console. The amplified instruments, as well as the drums normally do a large proportion of "pushing the house," leaving them underrepresented in the PA mix. The vocals, getting all of their...

    How to construct a 96-track recording/playback computer ?

    On the hardware side, take a look at what MOTU has to offer. They have a few configurations that can go up to 96 channels. One would be the PCI424 card with a few 2408 units fully expanded. Although that alone would fill up a pretty good sized rack. Another option might be the PCI424 card with...

    Admit it, you have a lava lamp in studio

    Don't the USB 2.0 Lava Lamps have more bandwidth than the firewire units? :laughings:

    The Tech21 SansAmp works great for bass.

    The Crappernater - a spider bridge square neck resophonic guitar

    No bottom end? Give the poor thing a break, for all of it's life until now all it had was bottom end! :laughings:

    Why computers make bad musicians. Funny.

    Must resist... Must resist... Can't resist... Like they say, "it takes one to know one." :D It takes only a certain very minimum skill to play well enough to perform a recording. But in order to play well enough that it's worth recording the performance? That's a whole 'nother ball of fish...

    Teac A-3340s problem(Mp3 included)

    Looks good. Be sure and do a full recalibration because lapping increases the head gap a bit. You know the drill, azimuth, playback levels and EQ, record bias, yadda-yadda...

    Corner Bass Traps Must Be 4'' Thick

    I kind of follow your logic, but let's take it a step further. If you've ever been in a warehouse or storage area for steel, you'll know that it's generally a pretty noisy place. Now let's examine a place were people store and read books - the library. Very quiet. So obviously the books would...
