M-Audio Pulsar II Matched Pair Small-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphones Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Wasted my money on this one. Bought it in usa, came back to my country just to find out that there is this huge wind-like noise coming out of both mics. Returning them would be the same as buying another set, due to high shipping costs. These mics were probably exposed to moisture, or worse. I dont know...

Allen & Heath AH-ZED-12FX 12-Channel Mixer with USB Interface and Onboard EFX Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Great unit once I got A good one that worked right. Perfect size/features for a home recording, and live performance. I do some ripping/remixing for my radio show.1st & 2nd machine didn't have a working CODEC. A&H knew exactly what was wrong when I called and had repair people lined up in my...

Audiophile Products MASS - Gray Acrylic Faceplate Remote Controlled Pre Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have no need for a traditional audio system and the last thing I want is some bulky rack system amplifier/receiver with features I don't need. I use my computer, iPad and phone for everything and anything audio/video I need. And I have self-amplified speaker systems through out my home. So for a couple...

M-Audio Prokeys Sono 61 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I got the ProKeys Sono to use during a temp, out-of-town work stint and wanted something I could play by itself (that has its own on-board sounds) and also use to drive the Reason and Sonar software synths on my laptop.Well, after many months of testing (through real use) I have to say it passed with...

Sterling by Music Man RAY34-NT Bass (4 String, Natural) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've played my Ray34 for six weeks and it's benched my entire collection. The sound is incredible, plays like butter, perfectly balanced, very effective 3-band EQ, stays completely in tune after hours of playing, and is just one solid bass guitar that has been very well constructed! I pound out classic...

Peavey Classic 30/112 Tube Combo Amp Tweed Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The sweet sound of this amp is unreal. I have not been so impressed with an amp in a long time as I amk with this gem. Warm but can be cranked without losing any of the warm tube sound. I've had a Marshall 50, Fender Bassman 50, Vox....loved them but this little amp is my baby. Great for blues and rockabilly.When...

Washburn M3SWK Florentine Cutaway Mandolin (Natural) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm a guitarist but I have played a few mandolins. The Washburn M3SWK has potential but not right out of the box. The two I tried and returned had issues. the first one fretted out on the fourth string at the octave and the second one came with the bridge saddle broken.These were issues I didn't want...

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...

Logic Studio Retail Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I use to use Logic Pro back in the day of Atari Falcon and STE1080. then i went to PC and used Logic 4.7. Though i never used the audio with it back then due to the instability of the product. It was easier to use a Mackie HDR 24/96 with midi clock to sync. Before obtaining Logic Studio i was using Ableton...

Stagg EDB 3/4 H Electric Double Bass in Violin Brown Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Ever since Bass Player Magazine did an article on this bass in 2008, I've been very curious about it. I've been with my current group for 10 years and decided I was going to take the fretless plunge (I've never so much as held one before). The review in the magazine had a pretty favorable opinion and...

Korg microKorg Analog Modeling Synthesizer with Vocoder Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The MicroKorg is probably the finest synth you'll ever get at that price. It's very small (same size as many of those toy keyboards you grew up as a kid, but this is no toy), and has 37 keys, although the big criticisms here is Korg opted for toy keyboard-sized keys, rather than full-sized keys (the...

Zoom R16 Multitrack SD Recorder Controller and Interface Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This thing is awesome. But let's start with the bad, before we get to the good. The Bad: - The preamp quality is not that great. I want to be careful not to over-state this too much: they are certainly not BAD preamps, and they are certainly competitive with other preamps that can be bought eight at...

Yamaha HS80M Studio Reference Monitor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The HS80M monitor gives you built in power, room adjustment gain controls and good sound. While monitors are probably the most subjective thing you buy for your home or project studio. You usually don't have the option of actually bringing home 2 or 3 pairs of monitors and picking the one that performs...

Rode SVM Stereo Condenser Microphone Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have a Canon HG10 High Definition camera that I use for recording my small kids and family events. The camera's built-in sound was just poor. With my default mic, the targets could barely be heard, and whenever the cameraman spoke the sound was overly pronounced. So I researched many mics over months...

Genz Benz Shuttle STL6-0 Bass Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Received recommendation from my bands Bass player to acquire a Genz Benz Shutlle 6.0 to add more depth to the Bass Guitar in our Church Auditorium. Did a Demo on the unit, fell immediately in love with sound that this unit added to my sound system, really made the Bass pop out of the mix. Immediately...

Epiphone Nick Valensi Riviera P-94 Archtop Electric Guitar Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have searched for what I would consider the perfect guitar for a long time. I have had strats, teles, les pauls, jaguars, and prior to this the two guitars that felt best to me was my Gibson SG Classic and Japanese Fender Jaguar. Originally I had been looking at a Casino (always wanted a semi-hollow)...

DBX AFS-224 Dual Channel Advanced Feedback Supression Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am a 30 year+ giging modern jazz musician. Feedback in the monitors has always been a big problem, in many cases making me change the set or instrument. I now can play any acoustic instrument with drummers, amplified instruments... and the vocals can be loud and crisp with no feedback. Very easy to...
