Have you thought about running balanced lines? I seem to remember that signal loss (and degradation from RFI and the like) should be much less significant vs. an equivalent run of unbalanced wire. You'd need some sort of transformer on either side of the line, though, to do the unbalanced --> balanc...

Something was up that weekend and I didn't get a chance to go figuring I'd catch him on the next go round. Guess that won't be the case now.

I remember thinking the same thing back in '92 when Nirvana played over here. Fuck.

How do I tell the original CD of the Dukes' "Chips" from the reissue?

Cleaning VCR heads ( my method, which so far has worked many times on several units): 1) Unplug VCR, remove top cover. Locate the rotating head drum (easy to spot) 2) Cut a 1" by 1" piece of clean thin cardboard and moisten it with alcohol. I assume the best choice would be isopropyl alcohol, but I'...

Hi everyone I was wondering if any of you 'd had any luck in taming that nasty, nasal EQ that Essential imparted on the 1998 mono Something Else. I've got both that one and the 'old' Reprise CD (the one with the chewed up left channel on David Watts), and I like the tonality of the Reprise just fine...

I don't know just how well it might work in English, but there's a novel by Argentinian-born author Julio Cortázar, called Rayuela , which I've read many times over the last years. I find it really evocative and um.. you know, just about perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone. http://www.google.com/sea...

It looks like it could have been some component with a push-pull design (where positive and negative halves of the signal are split and amplified independently) malfunctioning during recording/mixing. I suppose that could cause the output signal to look asymmetrical like the one you posted. Just a w...

Hi everyone, first post in here. Do you guys know if the old CDs are still available via Amazon Canada? It's my preferred way of ordering, since I'm in Argentina myself and that stuff just doesn't get here. I pulled a quick search (on Amazon) and got two or three results for both Tago Mago and Ege B...

I use(d to use) a Mackie 1402 for home recording. The 1402 is a 14-channel board which would probably be overkill for your needs, but I understand the smaller models use the same electronics and preamps, maybe with a little less-flexible signal routing capabilities. Mine is the 1402-VLZ; the current...
