Can anyone tell me what mic splitters are and why they are used? Thanks.

I am trying to set up an in-ear monitoring system and need to get a brick wall limiter to protect my hearing from unexpected loud peaks. I am trying to keep the cost down, but need a unit that will do the job right. What unit will do this?

I would like to monitor myself from the main board, through my board and through in-ear phones. How do I split the signal from the main board and get it to my board? Also, do I need a limiter to protect my hearing in case there is a spike in the signal, and could you please give me a model and...

I have a Lexicion 100 that I use for snare drum. I have not been at all satisfied with it. I'm not sure I can describe in words what I don't like, but I will try. There is either not enough "wet", or too much. I can't seem to get it right. I own an Allen and Heath mixer that has onboard reverb...

I am a drummer and monitor my drums through headphones. I use a Crown D-75 amplifier, which is a very high quality amp with headphone output. My problem is, even though the amp is very high quality, I keep frying the headphones. The reason is because after I get all gain structure settings set...

I've decided on purchasing the Beyer Dynamic DT770s headphones for drum monitoring. My board has a weak headphone output. If I'm going to buy a headphone amp I want the best one I can find. I want it LOUD and Clean! What is the best, loudest and cleanest headphone amp? Also, can a regular...

I own an Allen & Heath Mixwizard (16 channel). I use this exclusively for drums. I would like to upgrade one of the preamps for the kick drum. I would first like to know what will an upgrade do for the sound? And how much do I need to spend for the upgrade to be worthwhile? Please give makes and...

I am trying to wire insert cables (Y cables) for use with my mixing console. It is so I can use a compressor in each channel. My problem is I don't understand how to wire the connectors. I have done this before but for some reason I am having trouble. Can someone please give me step by step...

I would like to play my drums to a sequencer. I want to download songs from the internet and load them into the sequencer. I plan on buying something like a Proteus for a sound source. As far as the sequencer is concerned, do I need a computer and what software is good? Or is there a stand-alone...

What is a good microphone for hi-hat? I know a lot of people don't mic the hats, but I do! Thanks.

I am interested in purchasing an Allen and Heath WZ16:2DX mixer. I will be using this mostly for fun and for recording drum tracks to a multitrack recorder. My question is how many inputs are needed to record 16 tracks? I thought since there are 16 inputs on this mixer I could record using the...

I am trying to compare the Aphex Expressor (no longer available new), the RNC and the Presonus BlueMax and the Presonus ACP-22 compressors. I would like to compress both kick and snare. I'm not exactly sure how to describe the effect I'm trying to achieve, but I think I would describe it as...

I need to purchase overhead stands for drum microphones and want to know if there are any features or anything else I need to be concerned with as I have never used these. I am looking for quality and money is not an issue. However I don't want to spend money on things like wheels or other...

Can anyone explain to me what a "send" is used for on a stage box? I understand what a snake is but I am confused about the "send". Thanks.

I am a drummer and am interested in a pair of in ear monitors for my practice. I play with microphones, not to amplify, but more to control the sound. I would like a pair of monitors that really block out the ambient sound of the drums, as much as possible. I know I can't block it completely...

I am looking for a compressor to use solely on kick drum and for recording. I would like to know what is a good unit to use. I am looking for specifics, both brands and models. I am looking to spend around $500 or so, but I could spend more if I feel it is worth it. Again, I am looking for a...
