Bright sound

This microphone is really cheap, around 99 bucks. It's a good condenser microphone if you are starting to record. It captures bright sounds decently but it's a bit short in the low frequencies in comparison to larger diaphragm condenser microphones

Good Price-Quality Ratio

The headphones are really nice, the active noise cancellation works really well, they headphones are confortable but a little heavy and you get exhausted after using them for 30 minutes or longer. The sound drivers to my opinion are a bit too close to the ear and somehow gives you the feeling of too much pressure. Finally, the overall sound is very brigth with a decent low end, specially good for electronic music genres.

Decent Plexi Sound

The Plexi distortion emulates the distortion of some Marshall amplifiers, this effect achieves that and gives you a decent Plexi sound with the possibility of control the distortion levels and one Tone control For the price I think it's a very fair deal, but in my opinion the final sound it's a little low in the mid range, but it is all matter of taste in the end.

Nice affordable guitar to play live

Just like most of Takemine guitars, this guitar has a 3 band equalization and a very nice response while amplified. The construction materials are not the best, but not bad all, hence the price of this guitar. But over all it is a really nice instrument to play acoustic live sets.

Best Mic for live performances you can afford

It is without a doubt the best microphone I have evert used to play live, in comparison with the SM58 (its little brother), this mic has a wider dynamic range capturing more high-end. It also makes you sound louder than the SM58. Overall, an amazing microphone for vocal applications.

Great clarity

I think these are a quite good pair of studio monitors for the price, but you could certainly get a flatter response with other vendors, and because they are 5" tweeter you will be lacking a bit of accuracy on the lower frequencies.

I will recommend them

Amazing microphone for the price

This microphone is the $200 - $300 dollar range price. I consider that this microphone offers a great value for the money. The first thing you'll notice is that is quite heavy, the multi-pattern allows you to use this microphone for several applications like recording a group of people singing a capella or record a guitar amplifier, or of course vocals. I think it records a sound with a huge spectrum of frequencies and very consistent on the lower frequencies.

I will definitely recommend it

Really nice analog Chorus sound

Nowadays you can find tons of pedal effects for modulation but nothing compares to analog sound of solid boxes. This pedal has three modes: 1. Chorus, which is set to an "optimal" factory standard determined by best practices. But you can configure the Rate from this effect 2- Chorus 2, in which you can modify Depth and Rate 3- Vibrato,in which you can also modify Depth and Rate

Final comment: you should be careful with the attack hit on your guitar on the first strum because if it's too loud it will make that one of the repeated sounds of the chorus/vibrato sounds too loud in comparison to the others. This could also be corrected with a compressor of course.

Amazing headphones for Mixing.

I have to say first of all that I'm not an engineer, neither a professional in mixing and mastering, bur from my experience this Open-back headphones are the best ones you could get for mixing. Mixing and mastering are obviously a technical and subjective task, but the truth is that a few specs are desirable in the process and this pair of headphones surely has them all: - They are very comfortable: with its velvet interior you can use them for hours without feeling fatigue. Besides they are quite light weight - Opened back: the reason why you need open back headphones for mixing and mastering is because you feel a much more natural response in the lower frequencies, which are a bit more exaggerated in the closed back headphones. Therefore more accuracy in the editing process.

• Nice design: Although this might be subjective I really love the orange arch from this headphones.

• Huge spectrum: I don't recall right now the figures, but I promise you guys that is really nice spectrum with a very flat response

Final comment: Don't expect them to sound "nice", on the contrary, since these are high impedance an flat response pair of headphones they will sound "low" and "flat" which guess what... is what you need, because this way you can mix what you are really making and therefore make a more balanced master which will sound amazing on a normal pair of headphones or speakers.

Great midi-controller with really nice pads

This midi controller is a really nice one from Novation. The first thing I like from the Impulse series of midi controllers is their construction. It's much more solid an sturdy than the new lines like Launchkey, which seems quite more cheap to me, and indeed they are cheaper. With automap your really don't have to route that many things unless you require more specific routing. There are a lot of specs to check like the midi zones, but you will need to read a good manual to understand how to use it properly. What I love the most from this midi-keyboard and it's actually the reason I bought it, are its pads. They feel really really nice, and are quite sensitive, not as hard as the AKAI which you have to hit really hard in order to get a proper response. The keys from the keyboard have after touch and they seem quite decent, so you shouldn't worry about the durability.

I will totally recommend this product

Very good Interface

I've had USB Interfaces before and although nowadays USB speed performance/latency is quite good I think Fire-wire is more stable and besides it allows you to have another USB port free for a midi instrument or an external hard drive. It has two extra inputs on the back that are quite handy if you want to connect something in stereo mode or let's say two additional channels. What I also find quite useful is that the two front inputs can change from direct line to a mic line (48v) with just a click from the virtual mixer The design is quite good and sober, I usually like dark colors. The knobs and the rest of the components seems very durable. Haven't got a single issue in the two years I've been using it together with a Macbook Pro Mid 12. Last but not least, the interface comes along with a virtual platform that lets you separate the mixes and channels.

I will definetely recommend this product

Great Value, for the Sound

Although it's a very small amplifier, for the range of price I think it's one of the top 15 Watt amplifier in the market. Nowadays there are improved versions with the FXs so it might be worth to try them out. Nevertheless I consider this amplifier the kind of gear you will need when you are learning how to play or to rehearsal in a small room alone. If you need more effects and volume you will need more watts as well.

Cheap harmony

I'm quite dissapointed from this device. First, for harmonies you can't choose from Mayor or Minor like most of the harmonizers do, and beyond that the effects sound quite cheap, despite being mid prize effect pedal

I wouldn't recommend it

Very handy and Decent Sounds

I bought this multi-effect station early on my days when I started playing guitar, I wanted to have the most modulation effects as possible. Although the quality and the configuration knobs are not the best, this unit has a lot of effects to offer and it's a really good option for the price, especially if you are getting in touch for the first time with delay, chorus, reverb and so on.

The amps simulators and the distortion effects are quite plastic but again there are a lot of types so there might be one you may like

Love the bright sound of the Telecaster, and the Maple wood is the smoothest to play with!

The american Telecaster might be a little expensive in comparison to the Mexican Series or the American Special Series, but it's totally worth the extra price. The Maple wood makes it a very smooth guitar to play to, it also adds sustain to the sounds, so it's an amazing guitar if you are not the lead guitarrist or if you want to play in the clean channel with a lot of chords. The quality of the construction and details of the guitar are also spectacular, you really feel the love in the making process of this guitar. I totally recommend it
