so the saga of the 603 mod continues. thanks again to antichef for sending more caps!!! :) here's what's happening: i replaced the input cap that i somehow blew, so i now have a signal. unfortunately, the scratchy static noise is still there. it's sort of constant, but not consistent. like it...

so my 2 spare 603s are now junk. i have no idea what the hell went wrong, but i did the 3-cap mod to both of them, and one of them now has some crazy oscillating whistle going on in the background and the other one is completely toasted. oh well, live and learn. this is the first--and the...

i finished mixing my newest cd today, and my ears are burnt. i think i hear problems, but i have to step away for awhile and get some outside opinions. also, i'm experimenting a little with something (i don't want to say what it is because if its being misused, it'll be obvious, and i want to...

recently another user sent me a link to an mxl 603 mod... http://www.prodigy-pro.com/diy/index.php?topic=5156.0 here they instruct the replacement of the .22uf caps w/ panasonic metal film caps from digikey. problem is, they don't specify whether those are metallized polyester, metallized...

i've come to the conclusion that the thing that is most frustrating me at the moment in my recordings is the vocal sound. here's my scenario: when i'm doing clean, melodic, soft vox a mic-->pre-->daw works fine. but when i'm doing screaming/growling and even more emphasized, melodic rock vox...

i recently got busted in the drum forum promulgating the popular myth that larger diaphragms reproduce low frequencies better than SDs because of the physical size of low freq waves. :o while i have repented for these high crimes and misdemeanors, and after re-reading a lot of the "mic design"...

the guitar guru at my local shop told me yesterday that satin finishes on acoustic guitars don't seal the wood properly and will cause the instrument to deteriorate over time. is this true??? i've fallen in love w/ a martin 12-string and it has a satin finish. if this significantly reduces the...

most, if not all of these, have no doubt been addressed here before, but call me lazy--i'm a drumber after all. doesn't that pass for a worthy excuse here? :D 1. intonation adjustment i know the basics of intonation adjustment, and have done it before, with moderate success. but is there some...

i've recently begun to use keyboards in my music, which is progressive heavy rock. i just read a critique of someone else's song in the mixing clinic in which several people remarked that the keys sounded surprisingly clear, no mud (which apparently is a common problem with keyboards). well...

another one from me in NE ohio, but i'd be willing to ship (within the US) at my own expense. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/msg/990786303.html

selling my old drums on craigslist. they sound exceptional for an export kit. pickup only for obvious reasons. :D http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/msg/990477700.html

ok, so i'm sick of resting my sheet music on top of the keyboard and having it slide over my fingers while playing, and what really drives me nuts is when the spine of the book bumps the rhythm button on. :mad: i was expecting a music stand for christmas, so i didn't buy one, and no one ponied...

hi, i've been monkeying with my roland for a few months now and what i've tried from the manual doesn't seem to work. is there any way to lock in my eq settings to a patch? every time i turn the thing on, i have to put the eq back to where i want it. i tried doing the setup assign thing, and...

if so, then listen to these bands: mahavishnu orchestra meshuggah opeth intronaut pat metheny group (since antonio sanchez joined especially) fredrik thordendal's special defects (or mats/morgan band if you can't find it) dillinger escape plan bill bruford's earthworks mastadon tool...

i'd like some trippy lighting for my studio, and at first i was gonna get one of those dj lights, but apparently they're crazy bright for my small space, and they heat up and need turned off every 15 minutes. no good. what i'm looking for is something that will introduce movement, colors, and...

in 2000, i bought an akai dps12 and a harman kardon dual-deck cd burner. ever since then, i've been mixing/burning in real time via the optical jack. this is very costly in terms of cd-r's, especially when i'm simply burning a single track for the sake of transferring raw tracks into my pc for...

i thought this might simplify my narrowing-down process. for those of you who didn't check out my orginal thread on this song, just know that i've been agonizing over which version to use. please vote for which mix you think sounds best. dross '08! :D...

hey folks, i spent the last 4 days putting this together and need some feedback. it's the first mix that has ever sounded fantastic through my monitors, but on the computer speakers it's pretty lacking. it's a raw file, very little eq applied to the tracks, and nothing on the master bus. as a...

just scored me a mapex black panther premium snare (14 x 6.5) on ebay for $266. someone tried to sandbag me at 11 seconds left, but i prevailed! after hearing all the hype and some really great recordings here, i decided to drop half my "stimulus package" on it. i figure it goes for $480 new...

i have a crate G130C XL combo amp that i've been using for jamming purposes for several years, but have always recorded direct. now i'm looking at miking the amp, and i've never been impressed with the sound of this thing. so i've been looking at the fender 212R, as it gets good reviews, and...
