So I'm looking for an amp head and cab to go gigging with, small to mid size venues mostly with a sound that isn't Marshall. I've been looking into Laney amp head's as I've always loved the sound they can make and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them? A 50 watt amp would probably do the trick.

I have a VH100R (running it at 50 watts at the moment) and it's fantastic. I would trade it for a GH100L in a second though because I don't use the dirt channel as I have pedals for that.

Laneys are fuckin awesome and I'd love to have a GH50L. I can't think of a bad amp that Laney has made.

I'm involved with a school project where I help a junior high kid build a wood xylophone. He has the idea to hang blocks vertically from one attachment point, like a cross between xylophone and chimes. Ultimately he gets to make the decision but I'm supposed to provide guidance and my knowledge of xylophones is limited. Hoping you guys have some thoughts about it or on making xylophones in general. My idea was to go by these plans: http://www.makingmusicfun.net/htm/f_mmf_music_library/build-your-own-orff-xylophone-step-by-step-woodworking-plans.htm

Hoping you guys have some thoughts about it or on making xylophones in general. 1) making sure the mounting system uses the right nodal points of each bar so that they're suspended without obstructing the bar's natural resonance. Experiment with suspending a single bar and making sure it still resonates well before commiting to the whole approach. 2) the bars have to be suspended from the top and the bottom, or stabilized in some other way, or else they will flap around and hit each other and be annoying to play. Those were my main hurdles when working on mine, which may or may not be helpful. Sounds fun though, good luck!

I have a loop pedal which only takes TRS jack lead inputs. If I buy an XLR to TRS cable or converter, will I be able to put my mic into it and have it work?

It depends on the mic - if it requires phantom power, then no.

I'm sure it has a name just like the "bo diddley beat" has a name even though it's equally simple. Anyway the reason I'm asking is because I want to read about where it came from, what's the first popular song to use it, etc.

heap posted:I'm definitely not a pro, but I've built a vertical "xylophone" with bamboo (which doesn't behave quite the same as solid wood blocks). My main concerns would be: I told him we would build it like a normal horizontal xylophone and he could turn it vertically if he wants. We cut all the bars today but I made a mistake and cut them 1 3/8" wide instead of 1 3/16" and they are all about 2 keys off, not a big deal since I can run them through the tablesaw and cut them again. The bars are made from padauk and sound beautiful. I might have to make one for myself when this is done.

Howdy folks! I've been playing cello for about 2 years now, which I enjoy. Last week word got out to friends of a friend of mine that I play. These guys expressed interest in adding some classical strings to their band (They're sort of a folk/bluegrass kind of band) and asked me to jam with them after Christmas. I like their sound (Here's their reverbnation page), but as I've studied mostly classical stuff I'm not sure that my musical acumen or style will match up with them. What kind of stuff can I do to complement this music style?

Listen to a lot in the genre and try to emulate it. That's really all I got for ya. Try to be in the right mindset, which I imagine is pretending to be a hillbilly.

I heard Ben Sollee once say that when he was growing up in Appalachia and learning to play classical cello, in order to jam with the locals he started watching fiddle players and learned to mimic that style of playing.

I don't know if this would work, but you might be able to bring some plucked bass styles in as well. Or just be Yo-Yo Ma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWqj2cUkAFc

This seems like the most appropriate thread to ask this in. What are the best moderately priced headphones for recording and mixing? I will mainly be recording acoustic guitar, some vocals, some electric guitar. My current gear is a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB, and a CAD M179 microphone. I need something with minimal bleed because with my current lovely headphones, when I'm not playing or when I'm letting some notes/chords ring and fade, the stupid metronome sound turns up in the track cause the mic picks up the bleed. Previously I have had recommendations of the Audio Technica ATH M50s, and the Beyerdynamic DT770s (I think it was) but I'm still not really sure what I should go for.

My Denons were around $250 and I think you can get the DT-770s for about eighty bucks less. Also: Short of getting new headphones, have you experimented with gating your mic with a quick but smooth decay so it only records when you're actually playing/singing? If you still hear the click track over the vox/instruments though that's another story.

There's this percussion instrument that I cannot remember or google up successfully, but need. Starts some 14 seconds in and goes for a while at 19 in this fine classic song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZAEr-sp2U0 Sounds like a fine saw through fine wood but I think there is a shaker-like noisemaker making these sounds.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a better way to pull off my stage setup than the way I'm doing it. Currently I'm running backing tracks from a first gen iPad using a program called backtrax which is really just a plain music player. The tracks are mixed to hard-left music and hard-right drums. The iPad then outputs a stereo ine which I split into the two mono tracks and either send to an onstage mixer or directly to the house if I trust the sound person. It has been suggested that we get more on the fly control of track levels (ie being able to raise bass synth levels independently) and I have thought about switching to a laptop for tracks but I am trying to think if there would be a better solution either using the iPad or a hardware box (for the sake of stability honestly). Ideally I would have 3 mono tracks: 1. Drums, 2. Bass, 3. Everything else. There isn't a multitrack playback program that I can find that isn't also a clunky bloated daw on the iPad and speed and ease of use is really important to me. Any suggestions?

After debating on a good field recorder for discreetly collecting ambience/samples for tracks on the fly, I recently got the Sony PCM-M10. I chose it over models that had XLR mic capability mainly based on its size/stealthiness. Originally, I was planning on just using the onboard mics for the above purpose. Now I'm starting to move on to collecting whole instrument tracks (stuff like our band's drummer on a conga, for example), and I'd like to use better mics without lugging my laptop rig along. My question: since my current recorder only has 3.5mm input, will I see any noticeable difference using some sort of XLR-to-1/8" adapter in conjunction with higher quality condenser mics, or should I just bite the bullet and get a new recorder with XLR capability?

"Horse bite" is a new form of underground club music, it's basically a mix of trap, dancehall, vaporwave, and surf punk. Horse bite parties are notorious for the wild near-pornographic dancing, where a guy will grind up against a girl while she shakes her rear end and violently grabs his quads.

So I previously asked a question about studio headphones, requiring flat response and minimal sound bleed for acoustic and vocal recording. In this thread and another, people were happy to recommend the Beyerdynamic DT770s, which I really appreciate. I did however also ask some other people at Headphonic for recommendations, and they recommended the Beyerdynamic DT250-80 ohms. Does anyone know anything about these and how they stack up to the DT770s?
