It's a GREAT sub and the feature that lets me put two sources into it is a welcome bonus. -- Regards, Ted Perlman www.tedperlman.com www.myspace.com/tedperlman www.facebook.com/ted.perlman

It's got a separate volume knob and I usually just bring it up half way till I can barely tell something has been added. Keeps me from mixing with my finger tip on the NS10 woofer to feel how much speaker excursion I have. If those puppies are moving too much you know that the bass will knock you down on a home system. -- Dave "Mod Bod" Modisette http://www.gatortraks.com/forum http://www.gatortraks.com
From: Ted Perlman on 14 Dec 2009 16:58 <The YST-SW215!> I have to try and find another one. I get nervous when I only have one of something I use and rely on daily. -- Regards, Ted Perlman www.tedperlman.com www.myspace.com/tedperlman www.facebook.com/ted.perlman

Any more than that is usually too much to get an accurate mix. But it depends on your room's acoustics as well. -- Regards, Ted Perlman www.tedperlman.com www.myspace.com/tedperlman www.facebook.com/ted.perlman

<I can drive five or six sets of phones, but they all have *my* mix in them> Couldn't do that here. What I'm listening to and what the singers are listening to in their phones are oftentimes not in the same universe :-) But it's my responsibility to listen to the ENTIRE mix to make sure what's getting recorded fits with the other parts. The singers, however, mainly need to hear the piano for pitch, some drums for feel and pocket, and of course (the main event)...themselves :-) -- Regards, Ted Perlman www.tedperlman.com www.myspace.com/tedperlman www.facebook.com/ted.perlman |
