Holy crap. What school do you go to? I'm from Texas as well, I just finished up my first year at Angelo State University staying in the cheapest dorms. Luckily my roommate was a friend that I've known since childhood.
It's basically a really large room, but it's split down the middle (not by a...
Also, if you buy your own PA gear, just speakers isn't going to work. Aside from obviously having mics, you'll need a preamp and power amp (however, they're also commonly sold in heads, like guitar amps) or else your speakers aren't going to be amplifying anything.
Buying a small, cheap PA...
I second this advice. If you buy an SM57 and a mic stand, you should be good to go. The Sennheiser E609 is a pretty good choice of mic as well. To be blunt, if you're playing gigs at places that are so ghetto they don't even have a PA, your band probably won't sound good no matter what kind of...
They're discontinued now, but I got lucky a few years back and grabbed a Gibson Les Paul Special when they were on sale for $500 new. I'm not talking about one of the classic models with P-90s, but a modern issue that's basically a stripped down Standard without as nice a finish. A great...
BTW, if you're playing in reasonably nice venues (ie: not a local run-down bar), you may not really need to worry about buying new and bigger gear if you're happy with the tone you're getting. Any venue that's worth its salt should have a decent PA system, and any soundman worth his salt is...
Cabinets are passive. They don't generate power, they handle power. If a cab has a rating of 100 watts, that means the speakers in it can safely handle up to 100 watts of power. A head (or power amp) is what actually generates the power (and amplifies the signal), so if you can't hear yourself...
Okay, I know I don't post much here, but I have to post this.
This is a video I did with some friends for my TV production class. The only requirement was that it had to use a green-screen, but I thought I would go all-out and make a music video. Here is what ensued. It was a blast to make...
Hello. My roommate and I both have BF2 installed on our computers. We have internet connections but no LAN, so a LAN game is not an option. I want to create a listen server so that we can both play together. Is this possible at all? As far as I can see, the only options are both joining the same...
