    Mesa Mark V test/ Rose of Sharyn DI's

    It's the lower mids giving the trouble I believe. Try putting the 240 slider all the way down, and leave the 750 higher. I find when the 750 is all the way down the tone on the amp really suffers. Today I also put the 2khz all the way down and it seemed to help with the SLAP in the ears, I...

    Mesa Mark V test/ Rose of Sharyn DI's

    Sounds just like my mark iv... Like a big fat piece of feces. Love it in the room, hate it for recording. It sounds like it was mic'd up inside a cardboard box, and my IV sounds like it's mic'd up inside a cardboard box (i know thats a stupid comparison but that is just what comes to mind)...

    Industry Standard...

    Any cliche is going to annoy any half-intelligent person. I can't stand WARMTH... YA' KNOW? NO, I DO NOT KNOW. Also when people explain things that they do, and they say, "when you do this" and "you get this feeling." What is wrong with saying, "when I do this I get this feeling." fuck.

    Monitor woofer glue

    Interesting development, I didn't notice this before, and it could be new, but this monitor hums quite a bit louder than the other one. It's not hiss, but like a power supply hum. And it also just started to make a crackling noise every few seconds, but it only lasted about a minute and it has...

    Syllables.

    For fuck's sake, learn to sing or tell the singer to learn to sing. But yea, just have the singer keep going so you can fade in easily. It's not rokit science.

    FF800 converters (RME Babyface)

    Well, the Babyface has the M-32 DA and the FF800 AD from what I've read. Not 100% sure. Do you mean the babyface has superior conversion? Other; What's a fair price for a mint firepod and all original accessories?

    FF800 converters (RME Babyface)

    I canceled my pre-order but 2 months later and I'm still debating whether or not to do this... Someone convince me to do it.

    Monitor woofer glue

    Just bought these hs50m's. One is perfect, this one isnt. Should I care enough to exchange the monitor for different one? It kind of annoys me.

    Should I even bother with monitors

    Ok I've been using em for a little bit now. I'm kind of disappointed with yamaha QC, one woofer cone is perfect, but the other has kind of shoddy glue work around the dustcap and the cone. But a bigger issue is ear fatigue. I literallly just listened to them at very low volume for maybe 30...

    Should I even bother with monitors

    Well I went and tested a bunch of monitors out including higher end monitors like adam. I ended up liking the hs50m more than the rest including the hs80m which i thought was very harsh in the high end. I love the way that the hs50m has such a massive mid range. Got a pair for just under $300...

    Should I even bother with monitors

    I guess I had it backwards, I thought that bigger drivers were needed for a smaller room. Good thing I checked here! Now, are the hs50's in the same league as the hs80's or is there a big difference in quality and sound? 3" doesnt seem like it would equate to $300 more but I dont know... and if...

    Should I even bother with monitors

    I have a JVC boombox with 5" mids and 8" ported subs and everytime that I've tried to mix on them, the mix would come out horrific. The snare would come out just disgusting, and I feel like I cant even judge the low end even with the 8" subs, but I'm really not sure how much of that is the room...

    Should I even bother with monitors

    I'm planning on buying some Yamaha Hs80m monitors soon, but as I'm doing research I now feel like it would be pretty pointless to get monitors in my untreated room. There's just no way I can treat my current room, don't ask why, it just cannot be done right now in this place. The room is about...

    Building a 1x12 cab

    I'm in the middle of building an oversized closed-back 1x12 cab, and I have some room to play with on the speaker baffle. The baffle itself is about 20" by 15" and I was thinking of offsetting the speaker so it is not mounted directly in the middle. What do you think the effect would be of...

    is my hard drive about to fail

    I'd never buy a Seagate drive. Had an external drive from them that could literally burn skin. Immediately returned lol. Plus, designated "external drives" usually aren't as high of quality in my experience. I've bought a couple before and they were just shit; loud, hot, slow, shorter warranty...
