Eventide TimeFactor Twin Delay Stombox Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this after a couple of failed attempts with cheaper Boss and TC units. For the extra $$ it's built like a tank, and works exactly as advertised. Awesome, inspiring delay sounds, more than I could explore in a lifetime, are readily accessible. If you just want simple delays there are much cheaper stompboxes (e.g. Digitech Digidelay, Boss in the $100 range) that do the job fine with a lot less programming. But if you use delay a lot are are particular about the details, avoid the $200-$300 range TC and Boss options and get the Eventide.

Behringer B2030P Ultra-Linear Reference Studio Monitor Pair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are really great value speakers.From talking with an expert (i.e. a person at hydrogenaudio forums) i have learned that these are speakers with very great response for bass as well as high frequencies from the tweeter. They work very well with my amplifier and are just phenomenal being that they perform as if they were about $350 or $450 dollars. Only warning is to not drive bass too hard, unless you have a subwoofer.

When it comes to your recordings, you want honesty. In fact, considering how important your music is, you should demand it! That's why Behringer designed the B2030P Reference Monitors to speak nothing but the TRUTH. They sound great hooked up to your stereo or your video surround system, and are critical tools for any recording studio--where every note you play or sing is under the microscope.

Built on a Legacy The TRUTH B2030P passive monitor has all the great features of the TRUTH B2030A active monitor with one exception; you provide the amplification. Due to their high-resolution performance, B2030P 2-way reference studio monitors are perfect for nearfield monitoring applications: from small mixing environments to multi-channel surround setups.
Don't Let the Size Fool You Despite its small size, the TRUTH B2030P provides ultra-linear frequency response from 75 Hz to 21 kHz. The internal crossover point is fixed at 2.3 kHz for optimal performance of the two-way system. And the B2030P can handle input levels up to 100 watts.
Rock-Solid Bass Bookshelf-style home stereo speakers can really fool you when it comes to bass output, mainly because they are not designed for critical listening applications. That's why audio/video engineers and producers listen to projects through studio reference monitors or studio-grade headphones. The B2030P's long-throw 6.75" polypropylene-diaphragm woofer delivers smooth, deep bass all the way down to 75 Hz.
Why the Polypropylene Woofer? We're glad you asked. Polypropylene is light and strong, enabling the speaker cone to respond very quickly to fast transient peaks. This low-mass cone material is also much stiffer than paper, important for not only maintaining bass content integrity, but critical for midrange accuracy and definition. The deformation-resistant aluminum die-cast chassis maintains suspension integrity and provides highly efficient voice-coil cooling, even under extreme operating conditions.
Non-Fatiguing, Wide "Sweet Spot" B2030P's HF (High Frequency) content comes courtesy of an ultra high-resolution 0.75" ferrofluid-cooled tweeter mounted on our proprietary wave-guide. While some of our competitor's studio monitors have a highly focused "sweet spot" (the optimal listening position for a pair of loudspeakers), our wave-guide is designed to create a much more generous, broader listening zone. That means you won't wear a hole in the carpet in that one spot where everything sounds great. You are free to move around inside the stereo image to find the ideal spot in the mix for subtle instrument or effects placement opportunities.
You also won't suffer the ravages of "monitor fatigue-syndrome," an ailment that comes from listening to harsh high-mids and treble content for hours on end, even during those all-night mix-down sessions that can really test your nerves.

Tascam US1641 USB 2.0 Audio and MIDI Interface with digital Connection - Macintosh and Windows Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I looked at virtually every multiple mic interface on the market and couldn't find anything to touch this in features and/or price... so I bought it.
Wow!This thing rocks! I connected up 8 microphones for Kick, Snare, Hi-hat, Tom 1, Tom 2, Tom 3, Left Overhead and Right Overhead... all those mics plug into the 8 XLR mic sockets at the front of the unit. Got some really great 20ft XLR mic cables from Amazon for only $6.95 each (Whirlwind LowZ Microphone Cable (20 Foot) I then plugged in my bass guitar into one of 2 switchable line/guitar 1/4" mono inputs on the front.
Each of the 10 front panel inputs has a volume control knob and red/green led. The drummer hits each drum individually one by one so I can adjust each vol control so that it just occasionally clips red but mostly stays green.
After adjusting the six individual drum mics I now get the drummer to play the whole set and I adjust the left and right overheads mics so they don't clip (go red). That's it! The mics are setup ready to record.
I took the main output from the back of the unit to my monitors and there's a volume control on the front of the unit to allow you to turn down the monitor while recording... then you turn it up to listen back... so in effect, the unit has it's own monitoring control.
Two headphone jacks would've been nice, but I used a Y-adapter 1/4" Headphone Splitter to split the output allowing me to plug in the two headphones for me and the drummer.
I now setup recording on my laptop (HP TX2500z) using the supplied Cubase LE4 software which is really easy to use - buy yourself the The Complete Idiot's Guide to Recording with Cubase. There's no specific book for version LE4 but this idiot's guide worked great for me.
A note about my notebook - It's a tablet PC laptop HP Pavilion tx2500z 12.1" TOUCH-SCREEN Notebook with a great touch screen - so you can arm/disarm or mute/unmute your record channels/tracks just by touching the screen buttons with your finger - it's just like a real mixing desk with real tactile switches - it's really cool!
You may need to tweak your laptop for audio recording to get the best results otherwise you will hear artifacts (odd noises) when recording if the laptop is struggling to find the necessary processing power. I tweaked my laptop and it was just amazing to see the difference in performance. You can Google "Tweak Vista for audio recording" to find the information on how to tweak.
I also replaced my 5400rpm drive with a 7200rpm drive Seagate 500 GB 7200RPM 2.5" Drive - it's real easy to do... Google "Upgrading laptop hard drive". As well as getting a faster speed drive I also made it a 500GB to replace the 320GB drive that I had - so lot's more space... and very low cost too!
RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!
Well... Let me tell you, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the results obtained with this unit! The Tascam 1641 is an amazing piece of gear and Amazon's price is just out of this World at only $299...
It's like having a whole recording studio in a box - the mic pre's, the mixing desk (vol controls), the signal LED's, the monoring vol control, headphone controls, etc... AND the software - all for $299 - You can't beat that!
The actual sound that I got was totally professional - I couldn't have done better if I was in a top-notch recording studio. I am 100,000% satisfied!
GO FOR IT!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!

Normandy ATGWB-SB Archtop Guitar with Bigsby, Powder Coated, School-Bus Yellow Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i've had a normandy "school bus" since december, and i can't say enough good things. i've always had a soft spot in my heart for hollow-body guitars, but i'll admit at first i was skeptical about a metal one. but it's more than proved it's worth. i play in an irish punk rock band, which means that i go from soft melodic songs; to loud, fast, angry songs at the drop of a hat. and this guitar can definitely keep up. the best thing of all? there are no sharp edges. i used to slice my hands open at every show, and i can't find a single place that that would happen on this guitar. i do also have to mention that the model i have is the slightly older one. and there were a few (minor) things i didn't like about it (the knobs, the neck colour) and those have all been vastly improved on this model. they look great, and they play great. if you can scrape the cash together, this will definitely last you a long, long time.

Manufacturer's Description (March 31, 2009)Key FeaturesEvery Normandy anodized archtop guitar comes fully loaded with these features -
Triple-electroplated chrome
Aluminum body constructed of aircraft-grade material
Warmoth hard rock maple with rosewood fretboard
Tuners made by Gotoh
Graphite nut made by Graphtech
Normandy Humbuckers for high output, powerful midrange and tone
Optional Vintage-style Bigbsby virbrato tailpiece or Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge

Ten Reasons to Own a Normandy Guitar
The Look – From the classic arch top curves of the body, to the vintage Bigsby-vibrato tailpiece, to the distinctive rivets front and back, there is simply no other guitar like it.
The Sound – The resonant, aircraft-grade aluminum body produces smooth, warm tones that ring true and long. Sustain is increased significantly when compared to that of a conventional wooden guitar body.
The Feel –The Normandy weighs 8.6-pounds, which is roughly the same (or less) than most other electric guitars. It maintains perfect balance when on a strap, and is so accommodating that you may just be able to go at it all night.
The Durability – This is a deceivingly solid piece of equipment. You may be able to snap the neck, but the body will stand up to the most aggressive punk-inspired outbursts.
The Neck – Our maple-on-maple and rosewood-on-maple necks are shaped close to what you would find on an old-school jazz guitar – not too fat…not too thin.
The Pickups – Normandy Old School-Humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets are overwound to 12K ohms for higher output, powerful midrange and driving tone.
The Craftsmanship – Normandy Guitars are made one at a time with quality and durability as our foremost concerns; they are built to stand the test of time from one gig to the next.
The Finish – The Chrome guitar is triple-electroplated, the School Bus and Army Green guitars are powder coated using a special baked-on finish and the Candy Apple Metal Flake finishes are far superior to the standard paint, stain, or varnish typically found on guitars. Whatever the color, the appearance will outshine that of any guitar you've ever seen.
The Service – Normandy offers a warranty against defective materials and workmanship for the life of the guitar (check with the vendor for details). Normandy takes pride in every one of their instruments playing its very best right out of the box.
Add it all up – Custom, boutique styling and quality that every player can afford.

Kramer KS42MBBFN1 Striker FR-422SM Electric Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading the previous review of this item I became nervous. There weren't alot of details on the ad, and the review writer said there were scratches and hardware missing so he returned the guitar. So, I was pleasently supprised when the guitar got here and was in the "as new" condition that was listed on the ad. Actually It was in better shape than most new floor models. For used it was in super shape. It was shipped with the trem. arm mounted and the thing was in tune when I opened up the superb packageing. AWSOME!!!
If the missing hardware mentioned in the review was the allen wrenches that werent in their mounting on the back of the head? A buck at Wal-Mart will buy you a full set. Problem Solved! I can't rave enough about this guitar and the seller.
