  • Blown speaker, need seggestions

    I have my contact at Sweetwater on the job
    He is looking for suitable replacement for the blown 15 inch speaker
    I would replace both 15 inch speakers so the cabinets match


    He had some good points on what should be used for my application that I was not aware of

  • Blown speaker, need seggestions

    I could send the speaker off for repair, but I found out I am dealing with 150 watt speakers.
    I am amazed it lasted 10 years.

    That Crown amp is 1000 watts mono and 500 watts in stereo


    Then what about the crossovers and other speakers?
    How long until they take a dump?
    So I am thinking that I either get two much larger speakers, or just get some FR PA speakers like in the link I posted above.


    Any thoughts on those 500 watt Eminence speakers?

  • Blown speaker, need seggestions

    I run my Kemper through a Tube pre amp and then a crown power amp in stereo mode

    The Crown amp is hooked up to a pair of big pioneer speakers


    My neighbor gave me the Pioneer speakers many years ago
    They are a 6 way speaker with cross overs

    I gave them a try and I like how they sound

    I finally blew one of the 15 inch speakers and need to find a replacement

    I would go ahead and replace both 15 inch speakers so they match

    I would need a full range speaker that can handle 500 watts

    I saw these Eminence speakers at Sweetwater and they are on Amazon also

    Anyone has any feedback on those Eminence speakers?
    Or can suggest another 15 inch speaker?
    Thanks
    Here's a couple shots of the Kemper, Crown and speakers

  • Bob Seger - Her Strut

    Just a note that what I hear from my amp and speakers sounds different than what I record.
    The recordings sound thicker and fatter to my ears


    I like how the recording came out
    So the two profiles I uploaded may sound different than the recording

    Nicely done. What guitar and profile did you use

    Thanks,
    It's a combination of two profiles
    One -25% left
    One +25% right

    I can't give all the profile specs so I will just upload both of them in a .zip file

    The guitar is a Joe Satriani 24 fret model Ibanez with Dimarzio bridge pickup
    I double tracked the main riff with the two profiles I attached
    The track is recorded direct from a sound card into my DAW

    The super clean parts are a third profile

    World's Forgotten Boy - Billy Idol

    I ripped the Drums, Bass and Vocals from my CD and used those as the backing track parts

    Billy's vocals were super heavy on reverb and you can't remove that from the original vocals.


    I did all the guitar parts using my Kemper

    Loading | Kemper Amps


    I used Mixcraft 9 to do all the recording


    I also added some synth parts here and there

    After a few weeks of changing things, I am done messing with this.


    It's got heavy volume on guitar parts cause I like guitar!

    Another fun tune I like to play to play.

    Thanks all

    I did another play along to my backing track to see what you guys were saying


    I figured out what I am doing

    I am locked into the drum beats doing it my way

    I like the way that sounds and also I never try and do exact clones of the tunes I play


    Just my way of doing things.

    Quote from Per

    The main riff, the opening note is played four times before going to the octave. You’re playing it three times.

    I don't know why. I just play what I hear in my head. I never try and duplicate tunes exactly.

    Quote from Ruefus

    RipX isn't perfect - but it's *stupidly* powerful.

    Yeah, RipX does not do perfect rips on complex songs. It does really well on a 3 piece band like ZZ Top. I tried it on a tune that has way more instruments. It put stuff it did not know what to do with into Other or Piano.
    But ripping individual instruments is a very complex task.
    It's amazing it can be done at all.

  • I Got the Six - ZZ Top

    In case anyone is curious how to do this.
    I rip a song from the CD that I own into a .wav file.
    I used Windows Media Player to rip the CD tracks into a .wav file.
    You can use RipX to rip the CD tracks, but it does not seem to pull all the song title and other info like Windows media player does.
    Then in RipX, I open that .wav file and tell RipX to rip the track into stems.


    RipX creates a stem.wav file for every instrument it finds.

    I drop the stems I want to use into my DAW and record my guitar parts

    You will notice in my screen shot that it also ripped two other .wav files called piano and other.
    There was nothing on those tracks and so they were discarded.
    I did not use Billy's guitar track
    I only used the drums, bass and vocal stem tracks
