    Wiring options for MEC vintage humbuckers..help

    The volume pots don't look right to me in the diagram above. If you look at this diagram, you'll see the hot wire from each pickup coming to the central lug, with the outer left lug connected in series

    I would try moving the white wire from the preamp onto the same to the left lug if that makes sense.

    Room Treatment

    I'd start with thinking about these 3 areas:

    1) basstraps - corners and where wall meets ceiling behind speakers

    2) absorbers - to kill first order reflections from speakers - i.e. ceiling above, and to the sides (think of it as a mirror)

    3) some sort of diffuser behind you - bookshelf with randomly stacked books is acceptable as a real world compromise....


    other than that, aim for symmetry between walls, and ideally sitting at around the 38% mark of the room.... don't be afraid to experiment with speaker positioning too, especially if they are rear-ported. sub-woofer set up is a whole new area too....

    good luck!

    Bands tuning out of tune, why?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by roman_sub

    Sometimes people detune / change speed of mp3s they put on youtube... if it's the whole band, and original was recorded on tape, maybe the mp3 you hear was recorded when tape playback wasn't *quite* at the perfect speed.

    I think Pantera de-tuned around 10 cents flat on purpose (can't remember exact number).

    Another example is that I was looking at the multitracked session I did of a live orchestra performance - and these guys were as much as 24 cents sharp (against A440) by the end of the symphony, and they're highly trained pro's. However, most importantly, they were in tune relative to one another....

    I've actually contemplated recording a full album tuned to A = 432Hz... just because I can!

    No such thing as absolute pitch - and don't even get me started on the inherent tuning problems within Western equal temperament tuning! ;-)

    Warren is the real deal IMO, as far as real world experience goes. His credits include Aerosmith!

    I think he has a lot of good stuff online, but ultimately his aim is to get you into his paying PLAP program - which is fair enough.

    As with anything on the internet, I'd suggest taking a critical approach towards what is being presented. I'd suggest looking by topic (e.g. multiband compression, or mixbus EQ) from a variety presenters and taking bits from them, as opposed to trying to learn from one person only. That also reduces risk of you "learning" from someone who doesn't actually know what they are talking about - not naming names, but a polished youtube channel appearance doesn't mean anything...
