Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Ha. Looks very smashable...
Just an update, Hello Music's 15% off deal lasts all weekend.
And Sweetwater has a lot of good deals running all weekend too, while supplies last.
http://www.sweetwater.com/
I'm very curious about this Blue hand-built mic for only $199:
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Bluebird
They also have a GoPro Hero 4 Session with a 32GB memory card, for $299.
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GoProHero4Se
(Whoa, holy crap, the movie on this other GoPro product page http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GoProHero4Si is a local SF band that I've seen a bunch of times. Good for them. Weird, also this one, Ken knows this band, we saw them open for The Rentals: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GoProHero4Si )

Today's deal is a pair of Fostex PM0.4d monitor speakers for $180.
http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs ... 0.4d.shtml
Some folks here like fluffy I think have similar Fostex monitors and are happy with them, yes? I'm considering these as I was looking to downsize from my fairly large Event 20/20p monitors with stands/etc.

Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Stupid Deal of the Moment is an MXL V250 for $40. This mic usually costs $50, so you are actually saving a few bucks. Once you spend so little on this mic, you can then spend a few hundred making is sound really good:

Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Where are you seeing that price? There's a 20% off sale which brings it down to $219ish, and there's a few used/refurbished deals for under $199, but I'm not seeing anything to get $199 on that page.

Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Of course, if you're just looking for a cheap pair of 5" monitors, I'd consider the ones from Monoprice. $170 for the pair: http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=1 ... 1&format=2

Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Amazon is offering some chances to win signed memorabilia from various artists including signed guitars. You have to sign up to be spammed by them over email to enter.
http://www.amazon.com/b/?ie=UTF8&node=11535696011
Different items are being given away every day. Of particular note, in my opinion: on Friday they will be giving away guitars signed by Jeff Lynne, and by The Zombies.

Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Note, only the white speakers are $99. The 20% off only applies to "qualifying" items, but, it looks like those speakers do qualify.

Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Today's Stupid deal is the Tascam US-1200 for $80:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid
It looks like it's class compliant, so, should work ok even though it's an old interface. This would be a super cheap way for somebody to get an interface with 4 XLR inputs. It's also got two 1/4" inputs for line/instrument level recording. So you could have a few mics plugged in and a bass and a keyboard or something. I find having four inputs saves a lot of unplugging and plugging in time switching between mics and instruments.
It's also got a DSP and some built in effects but I'm not sure how usable those would be if they stop making drivers or software for newer OSes.

Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Today's stupid deal is a white 30' Fender coiled 1/4" cable for $10:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid
I see it for $20 on Amazon, so, half off. This is a long cable, and the coiled part is kind of cool if you're into the aesthetic of that. Some say coiled cords darken your tone a bit which may be helpful if you've got an overly bright guitar and/or amp, assuming it's true.
