    Reamp box: From balanced to balanced signal you dont need it..??

    Think about it this way:Line level is what your recorder sends out, to be amplified to push speakers. It's already up there, as signals go. Pickups are not that strong, I think once I saw some really hot ones producing 4 volts (but that would be about clipping on amps...) Bass rarely sounds...

    drum machine software recommendations

    I have been using ACID 4 since the beginning of time (about 10 years) and the nice part of that is you can use real drum sounds. There are newer versions since they got bought out by SONY. Flexible, as good as the samples you can get, and they can export to different buses (kick n snare on one...

    PA speakers as studio monitors.

    Here's the point I have found. You can't get good monitoring with PA speakers, they are playing the SPL game and not the fidelity game. Studio monitors are not going to give you the sound pressure level, but will greatly surpass in quality, cause that's their game. Speaker sensitivity is part of...

    How do you record your bass?

    I record my bass with effects but without amp. Running bass through RB200 digitech and then into my Aardvark Q10, which is by now ancient. 8 channel 24 bit 96KHz and direct in works fine for bass, acoustic, and for electric fiddle (used the direct out from trace elliot amp. Headphone amp with...

    Bass amp wattage for fretless Tech/Death/Jazz-Metal.

    The biggest point I would say is BALANCE. 4X10 cabs (with horn if you're looking for some snap) is probably the best single cab option, though a combo with 15 and tweeter is good too. I have had an SVT400 head, 4X10s and a 15, and never needed more than the 4x10s. 5 piece band with a drummer...

    Which audio interface ?

    When you go with anything 2 tracks, inevitably you won't get some functions like inserts or low/no latency monitoring. And once you have a friend to plug in, too, then you're kind of hosed. 4-8 channels will be good, if you need more than 8 inputs direct, you need a full studio. Tracking with a...

    SWR Fan Club II

    :hyper:I got both of my SWR's used, my Workingman's 15 for just 10 times that 15 number...Made that up in 3 gigs with it. Have had that one for about 5 years now, last big rig was an SVT400T with 4x10s and a 15. The amp combo sounds better, is lighter than the amp HEAD of the other setup (lets...

    SWR LA12 with start up sqwawk

    I have an otherwise normal, good sounding (not great, but 100 bucks makes it a good player for the price) unit that will make a piercing sqwawk, or chirp, which is pretty dang loud, when it gets the switch flipped. I have seen this on other LA12s, and think this may be something someone...
