The aux connections are listed in the specs as "electronically balanced 1/4" inputs and outputs (pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = hot, pin 3 = cold)", although I've had no trouble with short unbalanced cable runs. It's a Midas Venice console.

I just bought an Eventide H910 off EBay. I have yet to receive it, but, apparently, it does not have an input/output jack section for audio connections. Instead, the unit I purchased has been fitted with mogami xlr cables. I intend to use this device as an aux send/return effect via my recording con...

Machine Gun Ettiquette is pretty damn good. "I Just Can't Be Happy Today" is right up there with "Something's Gone Wrong Again." "Smash It Up" is my favorite. Read their biography many years ago. It was funny. Also funny that not many people see Dave Vanian's influence on GD and The Misfits. Perhaps...

Thanks for the advice. I am actually going to do as you suggested and build a series of 2' x 4' panels for the sides and corners of the room. I am still seriously considering trying some new monitors though. I have worked on the HR824s in a number of different rooms and every time I perceive there t...

You make a good point about the 8" vs. 6.5" woofer. Since I have to be respectful of my neighboors, I rarely rock out at high volum...

Hello all. I have been using a pair of HR824s as my primary reference monitors in my home studio space. I am not real impressed with the imaging or low frequency response, and I find the way they translate mid range frequencies to be harsh and exaggerated. Admittedly, my studio has some acoustic spa...

I know that the Distressor and 1176LN compressors have already been covered in some detail on this very forum. Can anyone compare the 1176's All-Button Mode to the Distressor's British Mode emulation of this function? Specifically, I am wondering how faithfully the Distressor's British Mode produces...

wouldn't the world be better served if Pink Floyd gave the heal-the-world-festival-circuit a pass and used one of their fancy aeroplanes to air-drop a couple hundred cases of condoms over Ethiopia? for fuck's sake. 600,000 people. awful music. sweaty pits. "there are people dying now, so give me the...
