Members BushmasterM4 Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 Much like a music gear horder, I have a problem with old pc parts. Ive been building my own rigs since the 386 days. Around 1986. And I still have motherboards, graphics cards, math co-processors, cpu's, etc. Even hard drives and 5 1/4 floppy drives from then !!!! I just couldnt part with the stuff.

Members temnov Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 I can sell couple of interfaces, don't use them, like M-audio Project Mix I/O. All other hardware I have is too good to sell Use it on all sessions. Have some plug-ins that I wouldn't get today and don't use, but who new ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 I've lost track of how many guitars I have too. Anyone want two Altec metal voice of the theater horns? I sold a bunch of crap a while back and no one wanted those. Terry D. I had a friend of mine give me one he found in an attic. It had the driver that worked finr too. Having only one is like a bycycle with only one wheel. I thought about getting a second and then thought What will I do with them then. I have good horns in the PA already. Those A7's were great PA cabs in their time. First time I heard them used in a proper theatre setting was on broadyway in 1968. Went to see Hair. They had the whole band miced and a good 20 vocalists coming through just two of those cabs and they sounded great. No breakup with a full ranged sound. I had a set of them maybe 25 years ago but could never afford the good drivers. I eventually cut them down to half size because they were so hard to move. I eventually wound up giving them away.

Members philbo Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 It depends on what I'm doing...I have 7 or 8 guitars (all different), an old '80 Korg keyboard I use as a midi controller, a small PA, a couple mixing boards, an 8in/8out audio card, a pair of decent Tannoy monitors, and about 15 mics, a couple of vintage fender amps, a piano, 2 electric guitars with synth pickup (used with a Roland guitar synth or Alesis QSR) and some misc. instruments: didgerido, dulcimer, washboard, various shakers, tamborine, chimes. When recording, I use all of it. When gigging, I travel as lightly as possible: 400W powered Eon for the FOH, powered Kustom floor wedge for monitor, small LED par light, small mixer + mic/stand + instrument(s). Though it'd be nice to have a 25' 8x4 snake for those few times I host open mics. No hurry, though, it doesn't happen that often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators MrKnobs Posted October 19, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 19, 2011 Those A7's were great PA cabs in their time. . Metal horns just sound different than fiberglass / plastic horns. I like the sound of metal better, though I realize it "rings." Terry D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators MrKnobs Posted October 23, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 23, 2011 I don't feel so bad now keeping old stuff, some of you all do too. I literally don't have room for all of it, especially the live PA gear. Terry D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeonardScaper Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 i make music for me and anyone who will give a listen so no sweat. Me too. ....and I like to keep things pretty simple. When I'm ready to track I do not want to be distracted by gear decisions. After all this time, I already know what works and it's sitting right there in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
