Biggest Ever Audio Mixing Contest is ON!
The Apogee Duet 2 Breakout Box has 2 ¼ inputs for instruments, 2 XLR microphone inputs, and 2 XLR outputs. This interface is very inexpensive and could be used as a main portable set up for the roadie! This box is built to last a long time, it is made out of aluminum and will not scratch easy either. One of the things about this unit th...
The Alesis Guitar Link Plus is a perfect way to get your guitar tracks right in your computer without having to purchase an interface with other inputs or having any other bulky gear around. All you need is this cord and your computer. You can even use it with an iPad via USB connections but you will need to purchase the iPad USB adapter which i...
The Roland GKC-5 is a 15’ cable that has a 13 pin connector on it to use with your guitar set up. I currently only a lot of these cables because they are my favorite and have never let me down. The end cap connectors are well made and will not break or fail on you in any situations. You can also purchase this cable in a 30 foot length for about...
Let me start by stating I usually do not buy Monster products. I fill most of my cable needs with Mogami wire. I can say that I am very happy with the way this particular cable has served me over the years. I use these to link my recording interface with my monitors. My previous rig had XLR outputs and I was using Mogami cables in the past b...
I used to only buy planet waves cables and these were the only ones I used to buy. They have upgraded them since and I believe they are better now. Previously the jacks were compressable so that it'd be a tight fit in the input jacks of amps and guitars which is nice so it won't fall out lose however, they were so tight and after time they would...
I've been using Planet Waves Jack/Jack instrument cables for about seven or eight years. I have a number of them and they are a mainstay in my guitar set up. I have found these cables to be beyond reliable. I have never had one break, and the gold tips ensure a good sound and solid connection. While they are a bit expensive for a cable, it is w...
The ProCo Sound MAX20 is a -20 db pad that you insert in between your mic cable and microphone to give you some more head room and -20 of attenuation with hot mics and on loud signals. There isn't really anything that you need to know other than that as it will simply give you -20 db of attenuation. There is also both a -10 db and -30 db versi...
Before there was Apple's iPad, Horizon released a much lesser known device called the Horizon IPad-10. The comparisons will stop there, as of course this serves a completely different function, as it's a -10 db pad for use in the studio. In theory you could also use it for live shows, but I've only used it for recording studio applications. O...
The Hosa CRA803 is an audio snake with 8 individual cable connections in a 3 meter long length. The connections are available as RCA-RCA, or 1/4"-RCA. In either case, the cables are unbalanced, which means the shorter the cable length that's being run, the better. These snakes are a good choice for connecting mixers to Tascam and Fostex reel ...
The Whirlwind DCT-9 Tester is a cable test that can test all sorts of cables to see if they are in working condition or not. I don't own one of these as I don't own a large enough studio, but if I did I would be all over this. Having worked at various studios over the years, you'd be surprised (or maybe you wouldn't be) at how many cables brea...
