Behringer buys Midas / K-T?? WTF?
Didn’t they learn anything from BSS? I bought a new FCS-960 (post mackie buy-out made in china), and I had to return it 3 times before I got one that worked. They finally fixed it by giving me a N.O.S. unit that was one of the last made in England. Horrible. Now my beloved grey and purple boards will now be mass produced over there? Please don’t tell me that I now have to start using a PM5D!

As the whole world is regressing to compressed MP3’s, $4K digital boards that don’t know what 0dBU is, and general production values that were only acceptable when the mainstream audio media was wax cylinders, Midas and K-T stood out from the pack as 2 brands I could count on to sound as they always did - better than everybody else.

I guess the Corporate Money didnt learn its lesson when Harley Davidson was bought by a Bowling Equipment Manufacturer, will the day come that in the back of Guitar Centers everywhere PILES of Midas consoles mass produced will be returned to the factory as Behringer did, its a sad sad day, or maybe when Fender was bought by $%#@ and On and On…..I hope they can remnain Autonomous but if Mackie, EAW, Fender, St Louis Music, Ampeg, Harley and any number of other companies succumb to the Stock market money managers, the Music Industry lets out a Loud collective MOAN (more…)

I love these headphones, the S model means it comes with a straight cord instead of the coiled cord, so either way is available. I went with the straight because I was tired of it always getting stretched and always just looking like crap or getting caught on something so easy.

I was a big 7506 guy, used them both in the studio and for live applications, but one thing I always noticed with them was that they seemed to be a bit thin and lacking on the low end. This was very apparent to me when I would do Protools mixes on the road and than play them back on the tour bus stereo and I noticed my mixes were way too bass heavy. When I would use them to solo stuff up on the desk live, I would kinda have to go on vibrations in the room to judge along to what I was hearing inside the cans.

All that changed when I went with the AT headphones, I love them… I been using them for about 6 months now and they sound great, my mixes carry out into the real world much more accurately now and when I solo off the desk the low end is more audible for me, even when the FOH mix position is kinda close to the stage and I am getting blasted with so much low end… Unlike the 7506 with the lil wires that get pinched, these headphones have the wires inside and are not exposed, so I was very pleased to see that. So far my cans are still in mint condition, cuz I like to take care of my gear, but even when I put them in my bag they still are kicking ass!

I’m working on a local community theater production of “My Fair Lady” and we have to mike the two leads (Doolittle and Higgins). We don’t have any decent mikes to go over the ears, so I have to use a pair of wireless lavaliere mikes. The capsules are sort of clunky and hard to hide, so we’ve put Eliza’s mike just above her ear, and Henry’s under his collar, just peeking out the front.

The sound is acceptable, but tonality is not particularly nice.

Does anyone have any tips on anything I could try to get better high end response (4-16k)?

I think the Si is a very good sounding desk.It is easy for people unfamiliar with to figure out in 10 minutes max.This summer I spent several weeks with one of the Si3’s had to mix very different styles it worked very well. We also had a lot of guys thrown on it with little or no notice out of 16 one could not work around it not being a digi design he mixed more with his eyes than ears.Even though as of now it is not plug in friendly the comps are DBX , the Gates and EQ’s are BSS and the effects are Lexicon In my opinion that is a better start point than any other desk at the same cost point. The desk is well finished runs cool also very easy to get around on I have spec’d one for our fourth theater on campus they also just added a Si1 to the list (more…)

I worked with someone who had a car kit. It was a classic Mercedes, Mustang manual rack required.

I was impressed very satisfied with the availability and price for this. Obviously, many construction companies using this rack kit Ford. Who would have thought that the 70 Mustang II rack and pinion is still so popular?

Best new car parts site I found? Reality found on my iPhone. Car Parts Warehouse have their new car replacing Mobile website. Great site to check a large collection of auto parts. Best of all, easy to navigate on your iPhone or Blackberrry.
No more long delays in taking or difficulties in trying to read.

The question is, is the future of car parts to buy? The answer is little. Nobody gives the Office for the iPhone, but many users are moving. Until he fell back on the LCD, this is an important place in automotive repair. We have scored some of those places in case of emergency.

Especially when somewhere, then it is the beaches are very useful. Trying to find a drive shaft or belt on the side of the street to demand from these users.

Anyone out there another good site mobiel auto parts?
