From Our Partners At Audix USA…

Here are the final versions of the “How to mic your drums” video that were shown at NAMM. 

These are the first definitive videos on how to mic your drums with clear explanations and useful examples.   It  is divided into 7 chapters. 

Dean K has  used AUDIX  mics for more on air recordings than anyone else out there and Mike Snyder is a professional clinician (for Roland) who speaks directly to drummers in terms they can understand.

These videos will  be on YouTube soon  but for higher audio and video resolution  we subscribed to Vimeo and suggest that they be viewed there.     For faster viewing make sure the “high def” option is turned off.   AUDIX will also be making a DVD to be included with all DP series packs.

Announcing Bedell Guitars & The Great Divide

Old enough to have been around when the concept of peace, love and rock n' roll inspired a generation of free spirits. Young enough to embrace a world community, where generosity, compassion and equality are a way of life. We celebrate living every day.

Our love of music is expressed in a collection of premium acoustic guitars, Great Divide Vintage Guitars and the next generation of custom Bedell Guitars.

Portions of our earnings will be directed back to global communities, and individual artists.

But, beyond material things, Two Old Hippies is an outlet for the values and beliefs that two "born" hippies acquired long ago. Seek peace and harmony for all living things. Inspire community. "Be True" to ourselves. And share in the spirit of Peace, Love & Rock N' Roll.

Tom (and Molly!) remain as passionate about music and fine guitars as they were all those years ago.

Today, that passion has resulted in incredibly handcrafted, all solid wood Bedell Guitars.  Once again, they share this passion by introducing Bedell Performance Series Guitars.

Genelec is very proud to introduce to the market the 8260A three-way DSP System which features major advance in audio driver technology integrated to a sophisticated enclosure design.

The 8260A is a master piece in electro-acoustic design as mechanical, acoustical, and signal processing designs are intimately linked together. Genelec 8260A features major advances in audio driver technology integrated to a sophisticated enclosure design. Genelec MDC™ Minimum Diffraction Coaxial Mid/High driver technology takes a big step in perfecting audio quality in professional active studio monitors.

This breakthrough in coaxial driver design provides extremely accurate imaging and improved sound quality both on the acoustical axis as well as off-axis. The extremely smooth frequency response leads to outstanding clarity and definition of the inner details of the music. The 8260A combines, for the first time, a coaxial driver (MDC™) with a modern waveguide technology (DCW™), ensuring drivers to couple coherently over their full operating bandwidth, as well as creating coincident mid-frequency/high-frequency point source.
