I can't help you with the first scenario, but did you ever definitely rule out the possibility that the mic was broken? It is true in California that vendors are not obligated to accept for return goods that cannot be resold due to "health considerations." I can't find a definite list of what that is, but it could conceivably include microphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Walters9515 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 health considerations how and why? Then ever night club or bars that has bands play would get sued because they are all using the same microphones on stage Well my ears can tell bad music from good and yours sounds really bad so don't insult me because of they type of equipment i own or have doesn't make a different its not the microphones fault thats not the point its 'MATCHING" the equipment together for it to work right which costs alot of money which i don't have under that is not just the NTK its having the right preamp, microphone EQ and compressor and recorder to Match the impedances and bandwidth for it to work right your overlooked the point instead of focus on trying to insult me again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I can hear it too - it is definitely broken and can't handle the specified SPL rating (what is that again?) - I think you need a store credit after having determined that the mic is broken!

Members Walters9515 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 Are u guys going direct into the recorder? with no preamp,no eq, no compressor going straight into the DAW? The NTK matters what type of converters,preamps,recorder is being used NTK>>>>tascam 2488 trimmer preamp not a microphone preamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooey it'd [prob help if we can quote the Cal sate or UCC section that covers it, otherwise we are spinning out wheels...any idea what the specific area of code that describes this?

Members MorePaul Posted December 31, 2005 Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 health considerations how and why? really, we covered that earlier -- possible "mucous membrane/ wet" areas..open sores, bodily orifice as opposed to generaly handling, etc Then ever night club or bars that has bands play would get sued because they are all using the same microphones on stage You might want to look at the diff between vendor and end user there Well my ears can tell bad music from good and yours sounds really bad have you heard it? so don't insult me because of they type of equipment i own or have doesn't make a different its not the microphones fault yeah, this I agree with...we are talking about merch/returnability of goods..."oh, brand X sucks" isn't really appropriate there...we can deal with that in "equipment shootout" threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MorePaul Posted December 31, 2005 Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 A little, not tons and tons, but I've done the classic load the bobbin, wind it, and pot it in glue (yeah, I did the wax thing too) deal so I can maybe steer you clear of mistakes, but I don't think I'm the best guy to answer "best practices"...more "don't do that...cause I did" (uf you're gonna ask, ask it now b;/c I'm off to bed and tomorrow is a wash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Walters9515 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 How do i wind the pickup to get more midrange? Or what pickups out there that have midrange peaks or midrange boosts? Does midrange cause twang and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MorePaul Posted December 31, 2005 Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 Originally posted by Walters9515 How do i wind the pickup to get more midrange? Think about it as balancing and RLC network, as you are familiar with alpha and beta in qactive amplifiers...you should be familiar with that caveat -- remember, the RLC in the guitar's subnet is only half the deal...it couples to the input of your primary amplifier stage www.guitarnuts.com is a good place to go as is forumite jdwinger Or what pickups out there that have midrange peaks or midrange boosts? product specs you'll just have to deal with on a catch as catch can basis...they change and the manufacturers change stuff up. the Duncan Invader I'm familiar with from 25 years ago may very well NOT be the invader of today Does midrange cause twang and why? well, "twang" is sort of a subjective, aesthetic view of how the sound lays out spectrally...wheras "midrange" is a bi more defined (softly defined as we don't have exactquantities, but still more specific" so it's really just a matter of definition/interpretation I think generally hitting up the advice/resources you got on the electric guitar forum is a good psuh start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Walters9515 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 as balancing and RLC network The new pickups in my strat are Flat respones no EQ or midrange added to them im trying to add more midrange to my stock pickups how or where can i start please? The new pickups they make now are flat like a EQ i want that midrange boost and midrange peaks How do i change the RLC network?How do i change the Balancing ? to be more midrange?

Members MorePaul Posted December 31, 2005 Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 as balancing and RLC network The new pickups in my strat are Flat respones I would seriously doubt that, esp passive pickups.."flat" is a matter of degree no EQ or midrange added to them im trying to add more midrange to my stock pickups how or where can i start please? www.guitarnuts.com http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_pickups/Pickup_winding_and_repair/Schatten_Pickup_Winder.html (there's a more "homerew" guide to bobbin inding out there as well - I'm sure you'll find it with a little searching) the old Donald Brosnac text like the rest of this craft...jump in and start, specifically where? doesn't matter so much as just doing it The new pickups they make now are flat like a EQ i want that midrange boost and midrange peaks Once again, "flat" there is a relative term...they aren't "flat" they may be "flatter than some", but not "flat" How do i change the RLC network? there are a number of ways (as you discussed amplifier characteristics with SirHC, I'm confident you have your basic passive network analysis at least somewhat under your belt...so let's not play that game - let's be adults about this shall we?) How do i change the Balancing ? you're asking good questions, don't fall back into character now..you can dig yourself out of the hole If you are smply looking for a one off...www.guitarnets.com offers custom winding -- just let him know what you have and what you want and there ya go!

Members Walters9515 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 I don't know how to change th LCR network inside of a pickup or give more midrange boost or midrange peaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MorePaul Posted December 31, 2005 Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 follow the way above therein is what you need you're so close brother, drop the character and be free of it you can come back and visit it for fun...later, but it will hold you back if you cling to it (notice that you interchange RLC and LRC you realize that they are interchangible, interrelated parameters and the order of the parameters is fluid in the texts...let go the character and talk to us as "brent" or whatever your name is ) really...it'll bring you into a richer , better world!!

Members Walters9515 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 The L is the inductor the R is the wire turns most common turns are from 6000-9000 wire turns in fender pickups the C is ? i don't know Thats all i know i still don't know how to get midrange boost or midrange peaks out of a pickup do u know? How do i change the LCR ? i only know how to change the wire turns but the magnets don't have a inductor rating value so i don't know how to change the L or C do u know?

Members MorePaul Posted December 31, 2005 Members Share Posted December 31, 2005 Oh you knowdunno, but it suret seems like LRC is used by old schoolers (like me old man) whereas RLC seems like the new gen coming upmaybe a regional thing or publishing house deal though ('sides if you didn't know, you'd have to investigate the resources stated earlier) this is "the act" -- you tipped your hand a few times during the last couple fo weeks let it go brother, I know you've cultivated the characte, but step beyond it I understand...it's hard. You've invested a lot in this character across many forums. But what used to be a hammer is now an anchor enter a brighter, more cooperative world...you can replace the empty fun of "{censored}in with em" with a richer fun of getting things done you can do this!
