Has anyone combined two Focusrite Scarlett 18i20s using ADAT before? It seems pretty straightforward but curious of any gotchas. I'm trying to record a whole band in my basement and need at least 12 inputs so I'm thinking of just chaining two of these bad boys together, considering I already have a ...

Depending on how the Bugeras are wired they may not need a load from a speaker cab. There's an internal load (a big ass resistor) that is providing some load and sending the rest to a speaker. IF at 100% dissipation it's providing the full load then that's fine. However according to Bugera ...

I'm doing something that I fear might be damaging my tube amplifier, my preamps or both. I have a drip-edge 50w Bassman head that I run into a Bugera PS1 attenuator . I bridge the bass and normal channels and turn them both up to 10. I go out of the amp into the 4 ohm input in the attenuator. I then ...

I messed with this for a whole afternoon and something about it is not tracking in my brain. What's the main benefit for you over using the take system?

I finally watched this last night and it was great! I lived in Portland at the time and saw these people around town but was too young to go to the shows. On retrospect, thank god I didn't. I did look up to them from afar, though, and thought they were living the life. Now I watch as a 36 year old ...

There's speakers made for IR usage called FRFR. But before you go there, I would suggest that you wouldn't need a cabinet to monitor. The stage should have monitors.


For any DIY-ish gigs I've seen/played I wouldn't trust this for more than a solo guitar set. Not being able to hear yourself ...

I'm thinking of going "ampless" in a live context and buying the Universal Audio Dream pedal. I don't really play places with great monitoring so I'm a little concerned about getting enough stage volume. I'm looking into getting my own little monitor. What do people use for monitoring? I'd love to ...

As an artist and public person, Steve was incredibly inspiring to a weird, angry Evangelical teen logging on to the forums from suburban Portland in 2004. His connection to independent Christian music through bands like Danielson and ZAO offered a Jesus-sanctioned escape from a very sheltered ...

We're in closing on a single family home in Edgewater and they have a history of the city sewer backing up into the utility room in the basement. A few years ago, they weren't keeping up with it and ended up having to do mold abatement, afterwards installing a drain tile on the perimeter of the room ...

2) McSorley's in Noho is one of the best tiny brewery/bars I've been to in ages. Older than dirt.

Not to be pedantic, but McSorley's is in the East Village, not NoHo.

But yeah, it's a good time and definitely worth checking out if you like old-timey bars, especially if you can hit it at an ...
