    mic choice for an odd application

    I've only tried this at home, seems like works so I'm going to try it tonight at a gig: It's sort a poor man's in-ear monitor system. I'll be setting an sm57 out in front of the band, facing the band. Run the mic to a crate powerblock, with an alesis 3630 comprssor in the effects loop, and then...

    b-1 + vtb-1 or AT3035 ?

    I'm presently using mackie VLZpro with a Rode NT-3 and SM57. My primary uses are vocals and acoustic guitar but I'd like something that will sound decent for recording a bluegrass band's practice sessions. My budget is small. From the great responses I got in another thread, I'm thinking of...

    One mic for bluegrass recording AT3035 ?

    Would an AT3035 be a good choice for a $200 mic to record a five piece bluegrass group? I'm not trying to come up with a polished product, just a decent recording of practice sessions. I have an SM57, Rode NT-3, and Radio Shack 58 copy (got it with a used amp, it sounds pretty good!) but I'm...

    Which stomp boxes?

    I'm looking for neverending sustain, and really smooth distortion. I play a Strat through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe at very, very low volume. I borrowed a Big Black Russian Mufff and a Vintage Rat yesterday, I think the Muff may be closer than the Rat, but I still feel like there's something...

    Can't restart HS2004 w/o rebooting

    Great Crap Almighty! All of the sudden, if I am using HS with Fruity Loops as a DXi and shutdown HS2004xl, I can't open HS again unless I reboot. No error message, just no response to my click. I recently tried disabling ACPI mode, a failed experiment, it wouldn't let me start XP except in safe...

    Can HS2204xl slave to midi?

    Am I blind? I'm trying to find how to make HS slave to midi sync. I'm running FL as a DXi plug-in and hoping to be able to get the HS tracks to run when I start the sequence within FL. Just out of curiousity, is this something I could do with Sonar? Bill

    HS2004xl looping dxi (Fruity/Sonar??)

    I'm still having a problem with looping when I have a DXi synth track running. It will loop fine on the first run-through, but when I stop the song and then start again, I get a dropout at the end of the loop. I posted about this a month ago, and none of the suggestions (latency, buffers, pci...

    dropout when looping w/synth HS2004xl

    Why, when I add a software synth track (Dyad, Dreamstation, or Edirol), do I lose the ability to loop? It works a couple times and then when it hits the end of the loop it goes to the beginning of the loop and stops, and the dropout indicator lights up. Once it starts doing this, it does it all...
