The Amp Garage

Yeah. I didn't even know about publishers until last night. I figured since the labels are generally the ones who own the band's copyrights for the recorded material, they would be a good place to go to. I think a publisher is probably a better target in this case.

I imagine some of you might have some insight on this. Being that just about anyone can produce decent quality material nowadays with all the readily accessible DAWs and interfaces out there, do you think that a label would be willing to purchase the song copyrights from individuals? What would be t...

I figured it was probably a situation like that. Really weak returns unless you're huge. Is it possible to actually sell the rights of the song outright? Tried googling "sell song copyrights", but the results were for selling the songs while under copyright, rather than selling the rights themselves.

Thinking about applying for royalties with ASCAP. I know most of us here do music purely for pleasure, but I'm thinking about putting my music to work. Any knowledge or advice on royalties? Which royalty company do you use? Forgive me if my terminology is off, this is all still new to me.

Yeah, like I said, years ago I was going for what I mistakenly thought would get the best audio quality without investing in worthy gear, thus, now my computer has a lot of math to do. Might as well spend a couple hours reducing everything to something reasonable. Learned a lot of things to avoid to...

I have a 2008 Mac book with some songs I have yet to mix on it. Just about all the files I need are on there, but the projects are too intense for the poor old geezer. I recorded all the audio just fine (some years ago) at 24 bits, 176.4kHz/sec, which, at the time seemed more necessary than it was. ...

I think it just goes to show that there's a lot of formats that are more than acceptable and that most people can't tell the difference. At the end of the day as long as the artists know how to write a good tune the audio engineer can get away with quite a bit.

25 years old, 2/6 correct... that's unfortunate.

Hey Martin. Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay. To be honest, GNFB is still confusing for me and I've been trying to research it more, learning about the function of the tail resistor and how it emulates a CSS. Also trying to understand how adding a single signal to the cathodes of both tr...

So the NFB signal appears at the second triode's grid? How is this possible if the grid is grounded at AC?

So is NFB more of a current signal, which is why you want it to flow across the large resistance of the tail?

Martin, is that why they always have the much smaller resistor "below" the tail? That would make a lot more sense now.

Also, I apologize in advance if this question is rooted in ignorance. I still have a lot I'm currently reading on NFB. Poles and zeros and whatnot.

So I know that this isn't normally done, but is there a reason? All I have on hand is a 1M pot. Amp in question is a Spitfire (47k tail). Any reason this shouldn't be done?

Strange that the PI even worked with it being disconnected from its traditional ground. I guess it was grounded through the transformer secondary. Not sure if that would then reduce or increase the headroom of the PI. Kind of surprised it was stable at all.
