    Nady SPC-25 battery-powered condenser mic

    I just bought this very cheap battery-powered condenser because that was all I can afford and it was on sale. The thing is that it functioned perfectly, gave a little extra hi frequencies. but I changed the battery and suddenly it doesnt function anymore. I think I could make it function...

    Whats the main difference with guitar single effect unit and multi-effects ?

    What I wanted to know is if it is true that most guitar multi-effects units handle the signal digitally including distortion. I know that many guitar effects are done digitally like delay but I also know that distortion and overdrive are done with analog circuitry (?), transistors, etc. But...

    What is a Direct Box for ?

    Excuse my ignorance, but I see this DI box again and again and don't really understand what it is used for. Right now I record my guitar direct through a Boss GS-10 guitar effects and amp simmulator to hard disk recording in my Alesis Fusion keyboard which has 8 audio tracks. It is not the most...

    Anyone knows this guitar ?

    It is played by Robert Smith of The Cure in the Trilogy DVD concert. He plays it only in two songs at the end ( 'If only tonight we could sleep' and 'The Kiss' ). I like both the looks and the sound of the guitar. Any help will be appreciated. ( The quality of the images is not good, sorry )...

    buzzing noise on bridge pickup on Ibanez GSR 200 bass ( four knobs version )

    Hi: I have an Ibanez GSR 200 bass, the one with Phat II, and four knobs. I noticed from the first time a buzzing noise when using the bridge pickup. I wonder if this is normal being single coil pickups. It is strange that the neck pickup doesn't have that noise.

    Which guitar does Robert Smith ( The Cure ) plays in the encore of the Trilogy DVD ?

    He uses this guitar only for the last two songs ( If Only Tonight We Could Sleep and The Kiss ). It is the only time I have seen him using this guitar. It is like a solid body "stratocaster" type but bigger. Maybe it is not solid, but it doesn't have holes. I like it very much and would...

    Any Artcore AFS75T users ?

    I recently bought an Ibanez Artcore AFS75T Hollow guitar: [img=https://img92.imageshack.us/img92/7997/artcoreafs75t8io.th.jpg] I bought it mainly because I like the looks of Gretsch guitars and this Artcore closely resembles the Gretschs ( IMO ). I find it doesn't have a brilliant sound ( not...

    Is there a real difference between Ibanez Artcore Semi Hollow and Hollow guitars ?

    I have a semi-hollow Ibanez guitar ( Artcore Talman TM-71 ) and I would like to sell it in order to buy an Artcore AFST with tremolo. This one is hollow body. Should I expect a real difference in sound between these guitars ? Both have the same ACH humbuckers. Thank you.

    Why the Fostex MR8-HD is better than the original MR8

    I am not trying to convince the users of the original MR8 ( I am one of them ) but to convince the ones who are deciding between the two units. The obvious reason to buy the MR8-HD is because it has 40GB memory included. Everybody who has the MR8 knows that the 128MB card included with the unit...

    Software Compression and Limiting and Fostex MR8 Master Effects

    I have read here that most of you preamplify the signal externally using a mixer. Then transfer individual tracks to PC for editing and mixing ( Rokket, Cellardweller and Dave in Toledo ). I know I have read here that you can add compression ( and limiting ) using software. I have Cakewalk...

    Balanced Output on V-Amp 2 ? and Sampling Rate Question

    1st question: I have an X V-Amp which has similar outputs as the V-Amp 2. The stereo phones output is also a stereo line output. The specifications say that this is a balanced output. Does this means that I can connect it to a balanced input ( using a stereo 1/4 connector to XLR connector )...

    Alesis D4 noise....

    Hi: I have an Alesis D4 Drum Module. When I bought it a year ago the only thing that didn't function was the display, but I could handle that. It sounded perfect and responded perfectly to my playing. Then suddenly it began to act strangely. When I first turn it on it functions perfectly...
