    Is that collection of Superior Drummer presets still around anywhere?

    And if not, anyone fancy starting a new collection using 4shared? Seems most of the links on the SD preset threads are dead. :Smokin:

    Thinking about making LSD Speaker IRs....am too stupid though

    Yeah, whats the news? Am curious myself. Sidenote: I don't have a problem with big libraries. I actually prefer the flexability thats offered by them as long as the quality is good as well. :P I have a nicely organised loader and menu for my impulse collection so it makes dialling in tones from...

    Heavy felt/vinyl for use in soundproofing.

    So, embarking upon a new studio build. We have to soundproof a ceiling and I've considered putting in a heavy membrane sandwiched between layers of rockwool. We're concerned with keeping both our noise in and potential neighbours noise out. A lot of the proper membranes seem very expensive...

    Other than redwirez + ownhammer, what companies are selling impulses these days?

    Premium = I.e. purchase only. Not free stuff. Sorry if I didnt make that very clear.

    Can this direct box handle speaker outputs?

    Yeah I figured the 40db pad would make it suitable for speaker level, but I wasn't too sure, I emailed the company a few days ago but they still haven't replied (lame).

    Just a matter of curiosity really, I'm interested to see whats in the "premium corner" regarding impulses but I can only really find two companies.

    Bought a SSD, where do I install my programs?

    Do a ctrl+alt+del and look at the CPU usuage per program. If you're using Reaper then you can also pull up CPU usage information for each VST while the program is running. Other DAW's probably can do this as well. Basically, look at your computer's performance charts and your DAW's internal...

    Can this direct box handle speaker outputs?

    I am trying to find out whether this di box (http://www.palmergear.com/pdi01.shtml) can handle amp speaker outputs. Have never tried this before so want to check before I commit to a purchase. I have tried to contact Palmer and a few of their stockists in the UK about this but they are being no...

    Recommend me a loadbox please.

    That doesn't really say much about the DI box lol. I will definitely investigate purchasing this + the tonehound today though.... either the PAN-01 (or possibly also the PDI-01 seems better quality?) look like what would be required. Palmer say that all their boxes are safe up to a 120w limit...

    Recommend me a loadbox please.

    Yeah I am pretty set on the Tonehound, looks perfect tbh, and yeah I agree Red Phoenix I *hate* Behringer gear with a passion... but its the only thing I can find that actually states that it can handle speaker level signals without modifying the signal in some drastic fashion. Its got a speaker...

    Recommend me a loadbox please.

    Dude, no joke, I am crap when it comes to soldering and I wouldn't wanna risk fucking up mine (or potential future customers) amps. The only box I can find which will do what I want seems to be a fucking Behringer model of all things... In case people aren't too clear what I'm trying to do...

    Recommend me a loadbox please.

    Well.... the main problem I've had shopping for DI boxes is some of them seem to have really uber-lame cab emulation that you can't switch out.... Also to be set up like: Amp head--->Di Box---->Load (I.e. power being dumped into a dummy load + a balanced line out to an interface) Then it...

    Recommend me a loadbox please.

    Yeah I'm going to order mine today I think. I am also after a DI box which can be set up between the head and the dummy load with the power being dumped into the dummy load via the THRU and a balanced line out to the desk but I haven't found anything suitable as of yet. UK shop support staff are...

    buying a tube head without being able to play it loud!?

    I'm looking at same thing atm really... my plan is to basically get decent amps (I already own a Marshall JCM900-SLX and a Laney ProTube) and to use Redwirez impulses for cab'ing. I used to be an amplitube user but i notice a big difference in sound quality between a real jcm and an amplitube...
