hi, does anybody know if and where to get a string dampener for bass guitar like you can see and use on steinberg´s vb-1 virtual bass vsti?!? i know and do right hand palm muting, but would like to experiment with this if it exists - i think one could get some different damped sounds and maybe...

hi, i wonder with what to fill the fret gaps of my now fretless ;) cheapish p-bass copy? btw: it sounds nice now - quite vintage and kind of dull, dry and dusty, but really cool! anybody?

hi, i´d like to know what others out there working with good old vst 5.x think about the built in channel eqs in terms of quality, usability and efficiency. since i work not very regularly but exclusively in vst 5.2 i don´t have the comparison to other eqs be it some other software or even...

hi, i own a boss br-1180 and was wondering how it is possible that this recorder with its ac adaptor delivering 12v is capable of providing 48v phantom power for its 2 mic preamps?!? does anybody know? does it really work or is this just some kind of hype and i don´t really get 2x48v but maybe...

hi there, does anybody know a format converter which lets you put in 8 tracks from the roland rbus standard (d-sub) and comes out with 8 tracks in alesis adat standard (toslink lightpipe) and/or the other way round? thanks for any info! fretless "i swear i didn´t know that 45 was loaded! in...

hi, i don´t know if i´m talking complete bullshit here, but is it in any way possible to handle track arming, transport control etc. in cubase hands-on via an alesis brc?!? does anybody know if the brc transmits maybe at least sysex commands via midi-out on button pushes? thanks for your...

how does the display refresh time (20/30/whatever ms) affect metering accuracy in your audio (sequencer) software? is there also a smearing effect like there is with fast games (first person shooters). if you set your meters to catch peaks does it then mutate to showing rms values?!? ;) since...

hi, i´m finally about to begin with building of my recording studio in the outbuilding on our property. the building is 13,5 by 4,5 metres and will be internally seperated in two equal halves for live and control room - by room within room constructions. in fact the outbuilding doesn´t have a...

hi guys, i understand the principle of sound isolation and that this only comes with air tight sealing, but does this mean i can´t even put a single nail or screw in any wall of my control/live room? does everything have to be just glued to the wall? (is this even possible?) does this change...

hi! i´m considering buying a used blackface adat machine. how much head drum hours do you users out there consider too much? the one i´m looking at now has a little over 1800 ...?!? thanks for your input! fretless

hi! there are three philips lbb 9050/05 (200 ohm) mics on ebay here in austria - they must be from the 70s and are told to be superb tom mics!? do you know these? thanks for any help! fretless p.s.: the link: http://cgi.ebay.at/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2544291969&category=3275

hi! to those of you recording real drum kits with individual tom mics: is it a no-no to use different kinds of mics on toms? what do you think? it may take some weeks until i´ll be able to try it myself, for now i´m thinking about this because i don´t know if i can afford more mics in the near...

maybe someone can help me with this one: there´s a fostex vc8 adat converter box on ebay for cheap - it´s damaged/not functional because of usage with the wrong power supply! would you think it to be damaged beyond repair? or would you think that this just has to be some "minor" problem which...

i just surfed www.dbxpro.com where under products the dbx 266xl is stated as "Designed and manufactured in the USA" ... i took a look at the back of my 266xl where i can read "Made in China"! for my dbx 166a the "Made in USA" is correctly stated. what´s that? a typo? fretless

i own 4 compressors by now: drawmer mx30 dbx 166a dbx 266xl fostex 3070 for compressing bass i tend to use the 166a which quite satisfies me, but just not entirely ... however it´s a lot better than the 266xl (there´s a very audible ticking this machine does when compression is...

i´m thinking about what could be called perceived presence, punch, directness and all that stuff. doesn´t a good preamp act a little as a compressor himself even if there isn´t one built in discretely? what do you think? if yes, where do you think those good preamps start price-wise? another...

hi there! since the building of my studio has been delayed and i need to at least mix some stuff i moved the main part of my gear into a rather small room in our house. it´s 3,35 metres deep, 2,40 metres wide (at least on one end - on the other it´s just 2 metres!) and also 2,40 metres high...

hi! does anybody know if the teac pb-64 rca patchbay can be used for patching s/pdif signals safely if used with proper cables? i don´t know for sure, but i could be dealing with this issue which should be called something like wave resistance (this is just a translation from the german word)...

i wonder if some of the bbs members solder their midi cables themselves? since i´m doing so with my audio cabling and my midi-capable gear gets more over time this starts me thinking ... and i could decide myself exactly how long a cable should be!! i know there´s a metal din-plug from neutrik...
