I have a 12" speaker in an 'isolation cab' with a built in cheapo SM58 clone. It works well but I no longer to use it since I hardly ever record the band and when I do I just 'embrace the spill' :D It's a good solution but doesn't get the OP the experience of feeling as much as hearing the sound ...

Another thought, small amps usually have small speakers (the Champ has an 8") and I've never found a guitar speaker smaller than 10" that sounds good to me at any level (TBF I haven tried very hard as I can use my 18 watt, 1 x 12" combo in the studio) and at lower volume small speakers sound even ...

Hi Riggillespie, I have been infesting this forum and other similar recording forums for the best part of 20 years and this has to be in the top 5 "Holy Grail" questions! I also spent a huge amount of time with guitarist son trying to make basic (cheap) valve amps sound like Brian May's or Dave ...

https://www.ballicom.co.uk/162005-manhattan-usb-a-automatic-sharing-switch-.p1447453.html I used something very similar, silver not black, to the above some years ago to switch a Cubase dongle between two tower computers, worked fine. I see no reason why it would not work for an interface? I ...

Couple of things rang bells? Dust: this cannot be good for your health especially if it contains such things as silica. Might I suggest seeking some measures to keep it out of the premises? Filters: good idea but ONLY if you change/clean them regularly! EMI: why such a problem? If mains borne you ...

If you’re open to 2nd hand, the old KrK S2 or VXT are found for [much] less than 500. I’ve got a pair of 8” at the recording room currently, and I used to mix at home with a pair of 6”. They would still be here if they wouldn’t be as prone to RF interferences (I live close to mobile antennas) RFI pr ...

But: A) having the right tools and a good workshop will make it sooooo much easier to work on the 20-year old Micra. And B) they will also allow you to do a good job on something newer and more valuable in due course. I really don't think this is a very good analogy, but then my degree is in ...

Ajay, you have expressed my ideas perfectly. I am in that happy place where I need seek no one's opinion as to what I buy, nor if I go into a bit of debt for a time. My pensions will keep dripping in for the foreseeable (to give you some I idea, I shall STILL qualify for the fuel allowance. 80 early ...

Are these really markedly better than for example Adam t7v for a small home studio? If you mean the KH150s Michael then yes, I would say so. I would be forever worried about that Adam tweeter even though I won't hear its contribution! There is a good chance that my financial position will be ...

I have to say that the site is back to normal speed today so maybe that router reset did something? OneWorld, yes passwords are a pain but I find the list "apps menu" under 3 lines top right very useful. But phone numbers? I struggle these days to type them in accurately. Ancient minces. Dave.

Now, "Hai know noooo thing Mr Fawltey" but if upgrading a tower PC would it not be wise to ensure it can handle Thunderbolt? Thunderbolt will probably go the same way as SCSI and Firewire. Something that may be technically superior to contemporary alternatives but just too specialist to catch on ...

Now, "Hai know noooo thing Mr Fawltey" but if upgrading a tower PC would it not be wise to ensure it can handle Thunderbolt? And a shout out to AMD? I have an Asus MOBO with an AMD 3G 6 core Black and it is pretty nippy. Was W7 but I fitted an SSD and upgraded to W10. I fully expect Ten to be ...

Just had quite a long online chat with a BT tech. Nice chap and he said he will reset my router, take about 4 minutes. Did not do Jack to speed things up but it did wipe all the numbers stored in my VOiP phones! "Oh! Should not have done that?" No indeed and when I had a DECT annyloggy rig THAT ...

Taskbar: Thanks but no good to me (I have reverted to W10, W11 lappy is for son) I have just bought and installed Reaper and a lot of setting are buried in the taskbar* and there seems no way to move the page up. With ten I can just chuck the TB to to left side, there now, and do the bizz then put ...

Has anyone found a hack to shift it vertically left or right?

Site is still very slow and I am now using Edge (ugh!) on 11.

"I have yet to find a reliable source of large reinforced rubber washers, though." Well, what you get up to in private Shuffs is your business! I can recall in dad's church organ factory that they had a set of huge hole punches. Steel cones with a sharpened edge and up to 3" in diameter IIRC. These ...

To me the mic stand falls neatly into two camps? Those that will stay "at home" for private use and can thus be pretty cheap "Pulse" or "Zon" types that you will handle carefully. A pro studio needs to look good and so more expensive stands can be justified. They will also be able to handle heavier ...

When I was a chorister none of this was deemed necessary, and IMO it's an extension of a trend that I disliked very much at the time, happy-clappy guitars and doing away with the High Altar, it's been down hill ever since, also, the extra money the church needs to buy all this stuff, it's all extra ...

So much great information on this thread, especially appreciated the posts by @Wonks, Hugh and merlyn. I've been trying to find the perfect ultra-portable travel/pocket-sized audio interface for me, the main priorities being a good-enough Hi-Z input for electric guitars (not necessarily world-class ...

Been painfully slow for me all week, spinning blobs. I am with BT and use Firefox. Anything known? Dave. I use Virgin Business broadband 1Gbps connection and have found it OK, from Cambridge area, but a couple of our team reported slowness. Broadband speed varies daily and hourly all across the ...

My A&H MixWiz is currently in a rack case sitting vertical, this is always a dilemma, it has advantages and disadvantages, advantages are that I can clearly see the EQ and AUX sections, without having to get up and look down on it like if it's horizontal on the desk, disadvantages are that its very ...

Edit: The outlets are indeed NOT grounded. My cheap testing device was a bit hard to read and misled me, double checked with the multi meter and got the truth! Feel free to delete this thread- much ado about nothing. Sorry to waste everyone's time :crazy: You have wasted no one's time friend, it is ...
