Has anyone ever found a suitable solution to the obnoxious sticky rubberized coating that JBL put on the front of their LSR series monitors?

So I picked a good-looking set of speakers up at a thrift shop for 5 bucks (Aiwa SX-LM99). Can't find much on them on the internet but they appear to be working fine. I tested them at a friend's place who had a proper speaker pre-amp and stuff. Connecting them to my own setup, however, posed some issues.

Hi,

Has anyone on here used the Audix VX5 live vocal condenser? I noticed the specs say it has a self noise of 26dB which seems pretty high?
What is the output and self noise of this mic like? Also, how does it compare to a Shure Beta87a?

Thanks

Just got the blue icicle preamp. It's supposed to be plug and play, but I can't get it to work. Everything seems to have installed correctly, I didn't get any error messages. But even with the gain all the way up, there's no signal. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times as well as restarting my computer.

Warren Huart, producer and engineer for acts like Aerosmith, James Blunt, Korn, and others, has this video on YouTube, where he talks about the 5 Key Things that every home studio should have. He also talks about the things that he feels aren't as important; most notably, pro level mics, pre's, converters and monitors.

So, I like my record rig. But I know it's a matter of time before I'm gonna have to have a forced upgrade.so I'm preemptively asking what direction I should go.

Hello All,

I am new to this forum.

I recently acquired a MOTU 16A. The unit, took a while to get setup and running due to software-based shortcomings from MOTU. Once the unit was setup however; after roughly 48 hours of tweaks, reboots, reinstalls and a myriad of bad words I didn't even know I knew...lol...the unit is proving to be very powerful.

I have been thinking about adding an OB compressor to the rack recently, and, being on a budget I have come across the ART Pro VLA II. This thing seems to get a good wrap for the price, and general concensus in regards to feedback is they sound better when the standard stock chinese-made tubes are replaced with Mullard 12ax7 tubes.

Now the Windows community can join the fun.
