    Subwoofer placement

    My suggestion, for many reasons, is do not put the sub on the shelf, and really do not puta subwoofer on a shelf that is attached to the desk you are working from. There are many online resources to look up as to why. But hey, if it is the only spot you can put it, then that's the only spot you...

    What would you do?

    She is a credited writer, she can record, preform do what ever she wants. Is there an agreement in place as to who owns the mechanical rights? As in who owns the recording? If nothing is in place I would suggest that she is entitled to the tracks also. If that's the case then it largely sounds...

    Live Sound Settings, Volume Equalization

    If I want it to sound like an amp and a cab I use a flatish external power amp, then feed of that into a guitar cab. However, if you ever mic up or run an ir feed to the PA that's what the audience hears NOT the amp and cab. The sound from a recording, speaker, PA is not what it sounds like...

    Live Sound - What do you use to set the sound?

    Create your presets and gig volume. Creating our presets at lower volume at home means they will sound bright at gig level, amongst other issues. It is called the Fletcher Munson Curve.

    Bug? Gapless switching not completely gapless?

    Not aimed at OP, but If people want true zero gap switching they should be morphing using expression pedals to morph between. Even a multi channel valve amp has some time between when switched.

    Anyone Else Find Dyna-Cabs Overly Bright?

    Ah yes that is something I had not thought of. On a “normal” cab the difference is pronounced when moving a mic around, so far, to my ears, it appears to be less so with dyna-cabs. It does change a little but not much, as compared to similar/same mics moved around on a physical speaker cab. I’ll...

    Yeah I have mic right on the speakers edge and still have to high cut. It’s all good, I’ll keep messing with it from time to time and see what’s happening. The legacy cabs are fine so I have no complaints. I was just curious as to what others were finding.

    Anyone Else Find Dyna-Cabs Overly Bright?

    It sounds great, some of the places I tried were actually commercial studios. At home on my own setup, reference tracks sound good also, so does the axefx with legacy irs. It’s not that big of a deal, dyna cabs just aren’t working for me at this point.

    Anyone Else Find Dyna-Cabs Overly Bright?

    Does anyone else find that dyna-cabs seem overly bright compared to legacy cabs? I have to push the mic locations right to the edge and employ a high cut down to about 4-5k This is not the case when I use legacy cabs and 3rd party irs. I only high cut down to about 6.5k.

    Yup. I have way too many 3rd party cabs, live I probably use 2, maybe 3 at the very most. I usually use a Friedman cab, a DLX verb cab, or occasionally sometimes a ac/morgan/matchless. Recording is a different story.

    When changing guitars during a performance.....
