I have two separate 1x12 guitar cabinets (both have a single speaker input) that I’d like to run with my Mesa Mini Rectifier. What’s the best was to accomplish this? Both cabinets have an 8 ohm Vintage 30 speaker. I’m wondering if I could use my Morley ABY in this scenario. The Mesa has two...

I don’t see many posted about speaker enclosures or guitar cabinets in these forums….seems strange to me because it has such a profound impact on tone. I just had a custom 1 X 12 cabinet built recently and it’s had a pretty big impact on my tone. It surprised me. I would have done this sooner...

Imagine you are a guitarist-songwriter and you need a drummer to record drum tracks on a song that you’re working on. Would you be comfortable getting the drummer to do the tracks in a studio and then sending you the wave files without ever having played with the guy in person? I did this one...

Does anyone have an idea of the size of the “home-recording” market in the US? I get the feeling it’s growing fast. I suppose I could look at the sales of the major players in the audio software market (Cubase, Logic, Cakewalk, etc)….maybe the number of audio interfaces sold, but I don’t think...

We all buy CDs and have different ways of looking at our purchases. My question to you is would you be disappointed to get a 5 song CD in a full color professionally packaged CD jacket as opposed to a jewel box with a color insert? With the jacket there is no way to add lyrical content, but...

Is there any consensus on whether it's better to capture a mix with a stand alone system (CDR or another computer) rather than to use the audio mixdown features in a software package. I use Cubase SX 3 for example....24 bit 48k. I need to mix a project and I'm debating whether to invest in a...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just receive my new amp yesterday. Plugged it in and the tone is incredible....as long as I am touching a piece of metal on my guitar (input jack, bridge, strings ect). If I take my hand off of the guitar, I get...

Can the Mytek Stereo 96 unit be used as two "unlinked" individual channels feeding two different mono tracks...or does it always work as a stereo unit? I'm wondering if I can use it as my main AD converter. I don't see a "link" switch like on the Lucid AD9624.

I know that Cubase SX 2.0 projects can be imported into Nuendo, but can the inverse be done? I'm mixing a project that was recorded in Cubase SX 2.0 and the studio will import into Nuendo for mixdown. We may add some tracks as well and I would like to be able to import those Nuendo projects...

I sent an email to RODE asking about which tubes I could use in my NTK. Nothing's wrong with the current tube, but I read recently about possible improvements in the sound quaility by trying dofferent tubes, so I asked the manufacturer about it. Below is the reponse I received. I thought some...

Is there any difference between the standard SX3 and the educational version in terms of functionality...or is the only difference in the price?

Does anyone know how I would setup and outboard piece of gear like this to work with Cubase? Isn't it now possible to use outboard gear with Cubase SX3? ...maybe I should have posted this in the Cubase forum....I have a problem with double posting though. I bugs the shit out of me when other...

I'll give them a listen over the next few days and post my thoughts a little later if anyone's interested. First thing...they are much bigger than I thought they'd be....and they're heavy sumsabitches. By the way, for you folks in mainland Europe, I know a distributor in Germany that might...

This is a really interesting article about black CDs and audio duplication that I came across while looking for a CD replication company. I thought I'd pass it along because I've never heard any of this before…. The guy is obviously borderline obsessive compulsive (no offense Gary). I DID...

I’m looking at the Groove Tubes Soul-o Single as a small studio recording amp. They offer a 10” version and a 12” version. I will not be able to audition them side by side and was just wondering what your thought were on different speaker sizes in terms of tone and character in a combo or...

A longshot, I know.... Can anyone tell me where I can get my hands on one of these amps? Not much "selling" info comes up on my internet searches. I'm looking for new and used....although no one seems to want to sell these things once they get one. I wonder why? :) Simmons

I'm curious what methods you guys use to record bells. Im curious about which mics, mic placement, pre-amps, compression (settings and hardware)you guys use to record bells (as in xylophone-like...not ding dong-like)?? I've been playing around with some bells on a new song and I've been using a...

I have a Swissonic AD24 mk2, which is great. I’m going to buy a Lucid GenX696 clock this month. The quality of the Swissonic AD conversion is really good…..clocking it with a Lucid GenX696 will make it even better. I was wondering….if I were using a Lucid AD9624 converter instead of the...

Are Cubase SL 2.0 files compatible with SX 2.0 and vice versa? For example, if my drummer records his audio in SX 2.0, can I open and record more audio in the same projects in Cubase SL 2.0 and vice versa? I know it's the same audio engine, but I'm not sure if there are any other unseen issues...

I have a BNC cable (58 Ohms) feeding word clock from an RME Multiface to an AD converter. It seems to work fine, but I've read that I should be using a 75 Ohms cable. Would this 75 Ohm cable make an audible difference compared to the 58 Ohm cable?
