How to?; recording speaker + mic

Forums

Hi all I just made the account on this forum and I have a question...

I make calls using VoIP-Buster, a program which lets you call phone numbers all over the world using your microphone..

Most of these calls are important, and I would like to record them...
So that when I call somebody, I am able to record both my speakers and my microphone (I use a headset...)

New Mastering Speakers

I am looking into some new mastering speakers. I went to a couple of shops to hear the new B&W 802Ds but neither shop had them hooked up so I have been invited to go back when they are hooked up. I am also looking at the ATCs and the PMCs. We currently have ALON I vs with a Bryston 4B amplifier and a Benchmark DAC-1 head end.

Tapco Poweramps and Speakers

Has anyone used them, heard of them, played at a show where they we're used. I'm looking for some input on them because my new local music store carries them. They look like they are built pretty solid and I'm thinking about purchasing them within the upcoming month. Any feedback would be great. You can find the specs on their stuff at Google it!.

Speaker Cabinet Wiring

I have a Madison 4x12 cabinet. It has Eminence Symphony drivers and on the plate in back it has MONO, STEREO, and OUTPUT. The problem is that only the MONO side of the cabinet works. It is not the speakers, because when I plug into the STEREO side instead the other half of the cabinet works. Therefore, this must be a wiring issues. This goes out to all you wiring experts out there!

Front Mount or Rear Mount Guitar Speakers

I've searched with little success. I just finished the grunt work on an Avatar Vintage Premium-inspired 2x12 cabinet. I have a rear mounted 1x12 and a front mounted 1x12, both are satisfactory.

Do any of you have (well based) strong opinions on this? I'm mounting WarehouseSpeakers.com clones of V30 and ClassicLead80s (wired in parallel if you care)

Residential speakers for acoustic concert?

I have a pair of Tannoy Mallorcans and a Crown CE1000 amp. Would these speakers work well if I used them for an Acoustic concert (Two mic setup, guitar and vocals)?

If you don't know these speakers look at them like large residential speakers (12" Woofer). Also does anyone have any idea what the wattage might be?

Cheap Speakers (75-150w) ?

I'm looking for good cheap speakers that'll handle 75-150 watts well. I'm looking to use them for a small room as monitors or loudspeakers. I own a Crown CE 1000 so speakon in's would be great. Price range around 50-150 each. Also, I don't care if the case sucks, I can build new ones.

And I'm looking at the Kustom KPC 10M. Anyone know if its any good?

Recording Guitar Amp via Amp Speaker

I'd like commentary on an idea I've had to record a guitar amp with another guitar-tailored speaker (used as a microphone, a la Yamaha's SubKick), and particularly one of the same make, model, and size.

Specifically, it occurs to me that using a 12" Alnico Blue speaker right on top of my Voice AC 15 might be cool for the following reasons:
