    Digital Multitrack Recorders?

    I'm a Fostex VF160 zealot. It's easy to use, makes great recordings, is completely self contained, highly portable and only $800 new. I would suggest getting the gig bag and footswitch(both for $75).

    anyone use SM57 with VF-160???

    A SM57 works just fine plugged right in to the VF160. No external pre required.

    Punch in

    Big fan here. Saves a lot of time. No reason to scrap a good take over a bum note.

    VOX AD30VT Valvetronix amp question

    I'm probably going to buy one of these within the next week or so. My only reservation is that I don't know how well a 30 watt amp will hold up for rehersals with a drummer and my Fender Bassman 100. Gigs are no problem as all of the places I play at have PAs. Can it handle it or should I get...

    Nady Mics

    I've got the 7 piece drum mic kit. It's got the DM70(snare,tom), DM80(kick) and CM88(overhead). They all do a pretty good job of capturing the kit. I've used the DM70 on vocals and guitar cabs with decent results. The DM80 works on bass cabs as well, and the CM88 can get a good vocal sound. I've...

    Okay now a mixing/mastering question

    I listened to the Naked at Nite clip through headphones that have good bass response. I couldn't hear any bass frequencies. Non at all. It didn't even sound like a bass guitar was there. The guitar sounded like it was in a tunnel. A hollow sound with a slight phaser effect on it. You should post...

    8051 foot switch?

    Hmmm... I cannot seem to find one online. Could it be discontinued? That would be strange, as well as sucking profusely, because it is such a kick ass piece of gear. I think I paid about $30 for mine from Musicians Friend. It's worth a lot more. All it is is a unlatched switch. Don't know if the...

    Musician's Friend: Reliable? Return Hassles?

    I've purchased three guitars, two amps, some rack gear, all of my recording stuff, mics, cables, mic stands, monitors, headphones, etcetera from Musicians Friend. All of my orders arrived in a reasonable amount of time with not one missing or incorrect item. I had two returns. One was due to a...

    the marshall mg15 mg15r and mg15dfx

    I've got an MG10. It does sound pretty good, especially for a $60 amp. The emulated line out is total shit though. I tried to direct record it. No way. Just close mic it and crank it up.

    Anyone use an exciter?

    I tried a couple of those exciter things(Behringer & Aphex). I returned the Aphex and sold the Behringer on ebay. They were neat to play with a bass guitar through for about 10 minutes. On a recording they were noisey as fuck. You would be better served spending your money elsewhere.
