ScopeRise

http://www.hitfoundry.com/issue_21

Then takes us on an historic journey to the earlier half of last century with a comprehensive rundown of many electronic music pioneers. We've also included a useful Scope PCI guide for any second hand buyers that may be new to Scope or even experienced users who have just plain forgotten. Suffice to say that for the time being there are more in the pipeline. We've been hearing about CopperLan. For a while. But what is it, what can it do for us and how easy is it to set up? A great new trend in the music...

Making Song Presets on The Helix - Planet Z

http://www.planetz.com/making-song-presets-on-the-helix

Making Song Presets on The Helix. Wednesday, March 15th, 2017 at 9:59 pm. After preparing my basic Pedal Board preset. I’ve spent the last week learning my way around the Helix, preparing presets for our setlist. I’m loving this thing! I’ve been waking up early to craft song presets before work, and staying up super-late every night. Yes, I’m obsessing, but there’s a lot to prepare if I’m going to pull this off at Friday’s gig with the Drop Daddies. Previous: Helix vs Blackstar. Bull; Line 6. JBL EON His...

Filling In The Spaces - Planet Z

http://www.planetz.com/filling-in-the-spaces

Filling In The Spaces. Monday, April 3rd, 2017 at 7:48 am. I’ve been so busy with work and my band. That I’ve neglected this blog for a loooong time. I’ve posted gig updates and not much else. However, I have accumulated tons of draft posts and notes over the last 3 years that I never published, just for lack of time and focus to get em done. The longer I waited and further behind I got, the harder it became to commit to doing the work to catch up. Making Song Presets on The Helix. Helix Is On Order.

Gigs - Planet Z

http://www.planetz.com/category/gigs

St Patrick’s Day 2017. Saturday, March 18th, 2017 at 10:30 pm. This was our 5th year playing St Patrick’s Day at Norm’s Grill. In Danville. And it was off the hook! We had an absolute blast. It was my first time ever playing a gig without an amp- and the Helix was awesome! There wasn’t even room on stage for the Eon 610. So I just went direct into our DL32R mixer. And out to our in-ears and the PA. I’m a Helix believer! Jeff and Ryan’s amps ended up down on the ground to the right of the stage. On Friday...

Helix Has Landed - Planet Z

http://www.planetz.com/helix-has-landed

Wednesday, March 8th, 2017 at 9:38 pm. My Helix arrived last night.  Sweet! I lost myself for a couple hours, going through the presets and getting familiar with the unit. I borrowed a JBL EON 610. Full-range powered speaker for the occasion, and the combination sounds amazing.  I haven’t even tried plugging it into my Blackstar Stage 60. Yet  It sounds soooo good through the full range speaker. The Helix is a beautifully built machine- solid as a tank! Did I mention how amazing it sounds? Bull; Line 6.

Helix vs Blackstar - Planet Z

http://www.planetz.com/helix-vs-blackstar

Sunday, March 12th, 2017 at 9:50 pm. I mentioned last month. As I awaited the Helix arrival, that I was considering going ampless- completely replacing my entire amp and pedalboard rig with a single device: the Helix. So, once I started learning to edit on the Helix, the first thing I did was try to make a preset to match the sounds of the channels on my Blackstar Stage 60. I A/B’d between the Blackstar and the Helix- EON610. Playing on my SG. We were playing with in-ears. Next: Making Song Presets on Th...

How To Use Solo on DL32R Mixer - Planet Z

http://www.planetz.com/how-to-use-solo-on-dl32r-mixer

How To Use Solo on DL32R Mixer. Saturday, March 11th, 2017 at 8:38 pm. We’ve had our Mackie DL32R Mixer. For how long now? And I’ve never bothered to figure out why the Solo channel controls weren’t working as I expected. When I solo a channel, its Solo button turns yellow, and the yellow all-caps SOLO indicator shows up in the top right quick access panel button. But, I don’t hear the channel solo in the audio outputs. Why not? We don’t really need to use Solo. We like to record our soundcheck. We just ...

Helix Is On Order - Planet Z

http://www.planetz.com/helix-is-on-order

Helix Is On Order. Tuesday, February 28th, 2017 at 4:17 pm. The Helix finally came in stock today, and it’s on order! While I’ve been waiting over the last couple weeks, I’ve been obsessing about my big rig transition to the Helix. I’ve come across a couple of new video demos which just blow me away how good the Helix sounds. These demos have me seriously considering going ampless. While I love my Blackstar Stage 60. Previous: Hard Disk Failure with DL32R. Next: Helix Has Landed. Bull; Line 6. Yes the ss...

Mackie DL32R Digital Mixer – Level Up! - Planet Z

http://www.planetz.com/mackie-digital-mixer-level-up

Mackie DL32R Digital Mixer – Level Up! Sunday, April 12th, 2015 at 6:06 pm. Using the Mackie DL1608. Mixer with my band. Has totally sold me on the benefits of digital mixing. But the DL1608 has some shortcomings, and we’ve outgrown it. Mackie recently released their new top-of-the-line digital mixer – the DL32R. Back when I posted about their teaser announcement. The multitrack recording feature also enables us to do a virtual sound check. Mounting the iPad to the front of the current mixer was always a...
