    Cash or Credit?

    I'm currently in the credit card universe - all the way. Once the stores I shop added self-checkout, I went cashless. I don't let the debt accumulate, I pay it off fully in several early payments throughout the billing period. I do try to leave a few dollars unpaid so it comes due at the end of...

    Have you ever had to go back and learn something of your own?

    I submitted 10 recordings (songs) as a collection, one file at a time. I submitted no sheet music, lyrics or other documents. I was asked if it was intended to be a CD for resale - I replied no, just for copyright and personal use. I took screenshots of the whole online procedure, then filed...

    Have you ever had to go back and learn something of your own?

    I did this when I wanted to register the copyrights for all my songs from 1974 to 2015. I hadn't played them in. . . forever, so I relearned and practiced for about a month, then recorded them on a DP-03SD Porta Studio - just a single acoustic and single vocal using the internal mics. Then I put...

    Tascam interface Last Straw (bye bye Tascam - hello MOTU)

    Well, the ol' MOTU M2 has been in operation for 8 months now and no problems. The only nit is I'm hearing a teeny 'tick' when I turn it on, then a slightly louder 'tick' when turning it off - even with headphone volume all the way down. None of that while operating. Just @ ON/OFF.

    Now that's what a rock band's supposed to look like

    That sounds like 80's MTV. Nuthin' wrong with that.

    Now that's what a rock band's supposed to look like

    Can't argue with the Peppers. Though I'm not a big fan, there's at least one song of theirs I really like. The guitar and bass work on Under The Bridge are excellent, IMHO. I used to play bass very much like that when I was high - in my younger days :guitar:

    Can I transfer a project created in DAW to TASCAM 488?

    :LOL: I hear ya. I had 4 years of French and 4 of Spanish, but in those days it was not taught as conversational.

    Old microphones

    Man . . . $6000 . . . WHEW! I read a bit closer on the 412 and it says it can be phantom powered by a tape recorder. I knew consoles could deliver phantom power, but I wasn't aware tape recorders could do this. Interesting stuff. The C-412 may be phantom powered by the c.c. supply in most input...

    Old microphones

    I'm always checking out microphones I see on old TV shows - game shows mostly. In my online searches today, I came across these two sites. The first has the Shure SM5, and the second is a Reverb page with some nice pics of one for sale at the time but has sold...

    I'd like some info about ordering from Thomann

    I touched on the subject in someone else's thread, that's probably what you remember. OK. Thanks for the happy story on your LP, it's reassuring :-) The order times on this one keep changing, from 7-9 weeks then 9-13 weeks, then down to 5-7 weeks so I may never see one anyway. I did that with...

    I'd like some info about ordering from Thomann

    I really want a Harley Benton SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series. I'd like to know if anyone in the U.S. has ordered a guitar (or whatever) from Thomann that was shipped overseas to the U.S. What's involved with this? Are there extra fees and/or taxes that need to be paid when it arrives in the U.S...

    What's goin' on with everybody

    I'm hoping to observe the Boeing Starliner launch tomorrow night. I'll be watching from an East-facing balcony about 100 miles away. If the skies are clear, and they have been, probably the most I'll see is a trail of bright light streaming upwards - but that'll be cool. The last time I caught...

    What's goin' on with everybody

    Can do. Like the old days before interfaces, DAWs and plugins - I gave up my SVT stack for a single rack unit (Roland GP-8) and plugged that into the board. Not the same Ampeg sound, but I didn't really need it to be at that point. Here we go again, only with a modern setup, eh.
