    Powders for a 'dusty cloth getting shaken out' effect

    That's exactly what we are going for, the banner in front of the grand drape being pulled down at the beginning of the show.I can definitely envision a quick fog/haze at the beginning, perhaps focussing the fog or haze through tubing directly on top/beneath the banner and then airing the...

    Audio Interface Suggestions [Home Recording]

    Audio Interface Suggestions [Home Recording]

    +1 on Focusrite bang for the buck, the Sapphire series is awesome and the Pro14 provides you with the 4 needed inputs (2 combo 1/4-XLR) and phantom power.http://us.focusrite.com/firewire-audio-interfaces/saffire-pro-14

    Yamaha DXR Powered speakers

    The direct out from the guitar amp provides a strong line level signal. Active DI's provide a similarly strong line level signal from relatively low output pickups or instruments.The Y cable is for various situations, such as when a left input doesn't also act as a mono input. Doesn't appear...

    Yamaha DXR Powered speakers

    I would recommend plugging your guitar into your guitar amp and utilizing its "Direct Out" (hopefully it has one) to send an XLR or 1/4" cable from the Direct Out of your guitar amp to input 1 in 'line' setting or input 2's left/mono input. You do not need the Y cable pictured.The guitar may...
