    Convert balanced line to rca line on presonus inspire

    Hey there! I need to convert a high level xlr line level to a low level rca input on my inspire. Does anyone know the cheapest way to do that? Can an XLR to RCA cable with a resistor inline do the job? I know there are the active line converters, but that's overkill for this task. Can't it be...

    De-encoding MS encoded tracks

    Hi. I accidentally had the MS button on my Octane when I recorded a band. I never have done any MS teqniques before. One channel was a bass direct, and the other was a sax mic. The width was all the way up. One of the channels also had the phase button in. When I flip the phase on one of the...

    Fender Super 112 half power

    Hey. This amp runs pretty quiet. One of the 2 power sections isn't running, it seems. I can take it's tube out, and it's the same volume. It's not the tube, it's the socket, and it's corresponding power section. I poked around a good bit, and did a few obvious continuity tests, but can't seem to...

    New talent sharing website

    Disclaimer: I work for them! But I'm a regular on this site, and I hope this isn't considered spam. This at least seems like the proper category. We're actually a post-production studio Near Rockefeller Center, but my boss got this idea for this website. It's sort of like a cross between...

    DMP3 vs DBX386 vs Aphex 207 mic pre upgrade

    Hey. I have an Aphex 107 that I really like (with an Amperex 12ax7), but it doesn't play nice with my snake and other preamps, having the inputs on the front, and all. Was thinking of trading it out for something similar. The 207 has the ins on the back, so that might be good, but does anyone...

    Light bulb compressor

    My roomies hooked a lightbulb in series between a guitar amp and the speaker. It definitely acted as a compressor. And the light gets brighter the louder the signal, and the more extreme the compression. I didn't get too into it, but it did sound pretty cool. Anyone have any experience with this?

    Isn't Joe Meek dead?

    And didn't he kill himself and his landlady on the anniversary of Buddy Holly's death? So who, why, and how did this company come about using his name? I mean I understand his contributions to music and engineering. I just don't understand how this company came about. He's been dead almost 40...

    Premium power cables worth it?

    I've seen premium IEC power cables from like 60 bucks to over a thousand! Magic power seems to have cheap ones, and cardas more in the 200 dollar range. Does anyone have any experience with these? Could one improve the quality of a tube mics power supply, or a preamp or interface? I thought it...

    Modded TCM1150 APEX460 disaster

    I did all kinds of mods on this. And like the tool I am, I didn't test after every mod. Just went and did them all at once. So now I don't know what's wrong with it! I turned it on, let it warm up, and no signal! Opened it up, and the tube was warm like it's supposed to be. I changed the tube...

    Replacement capsules for MXL 603S or new SDCs?

    Somehow, very mysteriously, it seems both my 603s' got their diaphragms busted. They were just sitting up on their shockmount/t bar over the drum set with a sandbag on the base. My roommate's always whining about why I don't just leave everything set up so we can record whenever. Well I did, and...

    Case for Nady TCM1150 / Apex 460 ?

    Hey, this mic comes in cardboard box. At least the Nady. I've moded the hell out of it, and now I'm looking for a hard shell case for it to complete the package. Anyone know of one that would fit? Inside the box there is a nice cut out foam block that has compartments for the power supply, the...

    Behringer Ultrapatch PX1000 help

    Hi. I need a little help in figuring out how the modules are supposed to be changed to change the modes on these. I'm pretty sure I want mode 5, half-normal. But the instructions and the diagrams don't really specify how the modules are supposed to be oriented for the different modes. They just...
