What are the differences between various video file formats (i.e. MP4 vs. avi )? Why can't I burn then together? And if I'm forced to convert, which one should I convert to? ( Presently not able to burn mp4 files ) The first thing to realize is that most of the time, when people are talking video f...

Mp3 is not a video format.

It's basically an effects unit from Behringer. There are a couple of ways to use it. Some folks might use it inline with a keyboard or guitar for reverb, delay, flanger, chorus, or phaser. Effects units like this are most typically used in a mix send/return scenario. One of the mixes (aux knobs) on ...

It's time that I put a little more effort into my playing- I found a bunch of super cool guys that I really click with both musically and personally. We can only get together two to three times a month and for convenience, I've been leaving my kit where we get together. It's easy for them to practi...

If you are standing there with a screwdriver and a drill, the easiest way (rule of thumb, if you will) is to just line up the acoustic center of each audio source...this is best approximated by the primary source of the sound in each speaker...aka the rear of the cone or horn. Not much you can do a...

From my understanding of driver alignment ( very limited understanding ) low frequencies travel slower anyway and this shouldn't be a real issue. Is this something I should even bother concerning myself with ? If so what what suggestions do ya got. The tops are lightweight and should cause no balan...

As far as time alignment goes, you want to keep the rear of the diaphragms (cones) as closely aligned as possible. As FCB said, this is a secondary concern, especially since you are probably setting this up to accept any top cabinet. Unless you are measuring the speakers impulse response, phase, an...

I was talkin' with some musicians the other night and the topic of bar owners stiffing bands came up. i was asking about how to prevent it and what not and one guy mentioned there used to be something like a musicians union. i don't know if that's the correct terminology or not. what i gathered fro...

I just noticed in the RP want-ads that somebody wants to start a rap/hip-hop band. I thought they were mostly DJ's with samplers copying everybody else's tracks and re-mixing them. It never dawned on me that actual musicians with real drums and other instruments were a part of the deal. Discuss I'v...

He plugs a processor directly into the PA, as opposed to playing thru a guitar amp and miking it. This is a completely different issue from sound reproduction. You will not find any guitar amp cabinets (exclude bass) with horns in them because horns just plain suck for guitar tone and tactile respo...

Jeff, I have been finding lower SPL ratings on the 3 way cabs and actually some bizare dips in certain frequency ranges that I wouldn't expect. so yes it looks like lower volume per watt like you say and it also looks like you would need some heavy EQ work to even it out. These are the reasons I wa...

I'm looking to upgrade from two cans with a string. :lol: What smart phone and what carrier do you recommend ? Prices reasonable ? Thanks, Hawk My recommendation: If you get an iPhone, go with AT&T. They have faster 3G speeds than Verizon, and currently the iPhone is 3G only. If you get a 4G An...

3. Bands with a bad mix or too loud for the situation. One bar asked a band to turn down and the band had an issue with it. The bar got a call from a neighbor who threatened to call the cops. Anyone else have any thoughts? On this one, 99 times out of 100 a case of bad mix, bad EQ or "the wall...

+1 on getting powered speakers. Recomendations: QSC K series QSC KW series QSC HPR series Yorkville NX55p or NX550p I've also used Mackie SRM series. They are pretty good too, though early versions had over heating problems. I've also listened to the yamaha MSR series that some band had in the mall ...

Here is a good one..need some advice and or ideas on what to do. I recently became unemployed due to the fact that my employer could not afford to pay my wages... instead of burning bridges I opted to leave. With this I am getting Unemployment, because I never got a paycheck and what not....My Clai...

Bah! Don't waste your money on cables. The only thing to look for in a cable is the build quality, flexibility, and wire gauge. Low oxygen, directional, hocus-pocus B.S. is just that - B.S. I recommend that people just build their own cables. Quality microphone, instrument, and speaker cable is not ...

What was the loud buzzing noise? It was almost like the device used to record the show couldn't handle it. So that would account for some of the failing. I'm not defending it, it does sound bad. Also, Eddy always dropps his tunning. That is a signature of his. :) The "buzzing" noise - tha...

A couple of other things to consider in addition to floodcitybrass' excellent points. Don't put extra mics on stage if you are not gonna use them. For example, if you have a drummer, guitarist, or bassist that insist on having a vocal mic, but don't sing much, or they just get one as a "courtes...

ah thanks for the advice! its an all acoustic type of band. soo i'm thinkin from the what i read the best is to use my onboard electronics into a direct box and into the pa system? - kayla. It depends. If you are going to be within 30' of the mixer and the mixer has 1/4" line inputs, a guitar ...

I am curious as to what people use acoustically for gigs. do you run your guitar right into the pa system or do you have an acoustic amp ? and if you run through a PA system do you use the onboard electronics or do you use an acoustic pick up? i've been thinkin of gettin a dean markley pup. which i...
