A couple of questions.....

1) How many input and outputs do you require?

2) What is your budget?

I use a reverse delay, rether than reverb. Both my Helix and my Kemper have this functionality, but I'm sure that a lot of individual pedals have this also.

Have you gone to a lighter string guage? Lighter strings generally mean less tension which, in turn, can reduce neck relief or even lead to back-bend. A lighter guage can also mean that the string sits too low within the nut slot and, in some cases, allow for sideways movement which can produce a ...

It would be worth looking at a Vox AC10. A lot of players seem to prefer this to the sound of the AC15 and it would appear to be bang on budget.

That actually makes me feel a little scared already, because I'm not sure, if I might end up breaking their old machine/computer. You won't break it. But, speaking as someone who used to own one, no great loss to the world if you did. I found the old review from SoS. I can't believe that I spent ...

I don't, but I remember reading an article about luthier Patrick Eggle, and he used them.

Now, show of hands. Who amongst us started out with a set of pitch pipes? Like trying to tune up to a kazoo.

I don't use one.

I paid £250 for my guitar, and they told me that it was in-tune when I got it

Neumann KH80DSPs + stands (£1k - I've read good things)

Add £200 for the MA-1 measurement mic which will unlock the DSP Room Alignment feature on the KH80's

Just to add - Maybe it was an 'artistic choice', but I find the wide panning of the cymbals to be distracting

That’s an excellent result for a home studio, even with smoothing, Music Wolf!

Thanks. And to think, it's only taken me 18 years to achieve it

In a small room it's almost impossible to eliminated all of the dips. Here's a link to my recent home studio makeover (my room is less of a cube than yours) https://www.soundonsound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=93361 Even with 7 panels of Rockwool RWA45, 1200mmx600mmx75mm, spaced from the wall, plus a ...

Another vote for the XR18. In fact 2 votes, since I own a pair. The fact that it is also an 18x18 interface makes it worth the extra money. I routinely make multi-track recordings of my bands live and at rehearsal, which is great for home practice or for syncing with mobile phone footage from gigs ...

Hi I've just put my Casio piano into storage (loft) in order to make room in my studio. From memory it's a Casio CDP S100 (I'll have to double check), complete with stand and a proper soft-pedal. I'd let it go to a good home for, shall we say, £75? I'm about 3 miles from Jn 8 of the M62. I also ...

Done Front end (corner panels employ a limp mass membrane). https://i.imgur.com/75Ekh07.jpg Could add some more panels if required (1 already built, enough material for a further 2) https://i.imgur.com/5tRVyXI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PqyhvN8.jpg After running Neumann correction software I get the ...

You still need an analogue mixer......................to rest the laptop on.

Hugh built some limp mass bass traps for his studio and discussed the build here https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/studio-sos-making-small-room-sound-good I've just (as in last night) empoyed this technique in my own studio make-over. https://www.soundonsound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=952837 ...

The first 4 panels are covered. https://i.imgur.com/BVKcLSa.jpg Bass trap in rear corner consists of a 2m x 600mm carcass, 300mm deep, with Rockwool (I re-used my RW3 slabs) front and back with a limp mass membrane in between. https://i.imgur.com/Fyqb6kN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/2AZpwaD.jpg https://i ...

Carpet down and some of the gear back and tested. I'll try to get the panels up before I bring my guitars and live gear back into the room. Whether or not it will be acceptable to still be cluttering up other rooms remains to be seen. Here's where I'm at. https://i.imgur.com/Kw6mhu6.jpg I made a ...

What are the dimensions of your room?

The room is painted, now waiting for the carpet to be fitted on Monday afternoon. I've knocked up 8 of the 10 panel frames ready to be built. I've taken over my parents garage as a workshop / storage area which is good, except that it's a 20 mile round trip each time. https://i.imgur.com/HlfWGHw.jpg

I can't hope to match James' thread, but I know that you guys like to see pictures - so here's what I've done so far. https://i.imgur.com/mTDAQhP.jpg Basically an empty room. I've repaired the skirting and floor (which had to be hacked away when fibreoptic broadband was installed the other year) and ...

Hi Sam. I did stumble across a supplier on the Wirral. I can’t remember now why I ruled them out, but it’ll no doubt come back to me.
