It work great!
When my new software had trouble recognizing my usb mic, I was told I needed a more traditional mic - this little guy is awesome - works great - the sound is fantastic. It comes with equipped to plug into my computer as well as traditional audio components. | 45 stars

Overall it works well, but it will initially struggle with playing cds
Overall I am happy with this karaoke machine. My only complaint is that the machine often takes a while to play a cd properly which i find very frustrating. When I initially put a cd in the machine and play a track, it will often give me a message that indicates that it cannot play any songs on the cd. After stoping the player and playing it again a couple times, it will eventually play the songs on the cd without any problems. So the karaoke machine does get the job done, however, the initial waiting period for listening to play a song is annoying to say the least. I have not yet tried to play the Karaoke type CDs yet, so I can not speak to the effectiveness that this machine has playing this audio format. | 34 stars

Very poorly made
For the price, I wasn't expecting much... but the other reviews had my hopes high. Sadly, I am very disappointed. The strap is nearly falling off and the top is a thin paper... I purchased this for my 3 year old - she LOVES carrying around things and playing "drums," but she'll break this within 5 minutes. | 12 stars

Gets the job done.
Planet waves usually makes decent picks and the extra heavy gauge pick works just as advertised. I don't believe it's stated anywhere in the description or on the item page but it is a 1.5mm thickness and doesn't really have any flexibility. However, it does seem to pluck notes a bit louder than most of the picks I've used (i.e. nylon, faux tortoise shell, celluloid). So if you do allot of hammering on to different strings you may want to build up a little bit more finger strength. Other that that it's a pretty good pick. | 34 stars

Sounds great plays like a guitar
Can not say enough about this. It is great sounding,priced right and the shipping was quick. Some of my family thinks I am actually playing a banjo. ( I won't tell them any different | 45 stars

Does the trick + MORE!
I did enjoy the ease at which it was used. It did not work as well as I would have hoped for covering a large area but that was probably my fault for not doing as much research as I normally do. Solid for personal use for chat like skype or online games.EDIT: After more and more use I am thoroughly impressed in the quality by this little mic. The sound quality is fantastic once you understand how to use it. The mic is solid and the stand it comes with sweetens the deal. I'm happy I bought this and it's a great way to podcast. | 45 stars

Works as expected. Works with Sony NEX VG 10

awesome
i'd like to start out by saying i ordered this pedal from geartree on stadard shipping, and it came in 3 days and i think it's slightly cheaper than the rest also. now ot the pedal. it's very easy to set up, it's set alreay when you get it and it comes with a battery also so you don't need a AC adapter immediatly, but if you try you probably could find one that fits somewhere around your house like i did. the pedal is very durable i was playing and repeatly turning the pedal on and off and it had no problems as i did so. it has a more old school type distortion to a very modern heavy distortion. then if you want you can give it more bite with the hi frequencey nob and more thump with the low. apart from tons of praise i heard of the digitech brand their online site really sold me on it cuz it's the only company i found with online samples on their site. http://www.digitech.com/products/xseriesflash/MetalMaster.html is the one for this specific pedal. anyway this is a awesome pedal and a great addition for anyone personally i use this pedal for my band now it's also fun to mess around with. | 45 stars

Exactly what I needed
I used to have a silver color telescoping mic stand made out of aluminum. It was good but somehow through the years it got misplaced. So this one was a replacement. It's thicker than the one I used to have and I prefer ther black color. The best is part however is in carrying it. When you move lots of equipment back and forth from gigs, you try to minimize the amount of stuff you have to carry. When these fold down, they're small enough to fit in a one small gig bag. I eventually ordered 3 of these things. The other guys in the band asked me to order some for them as well. Well worth the price. | 45 stars

Works Great
Wireless mike is easy to use, good sound quality. Wireless range has given me no issues. Get the adapter with it so you can plug it into the computer/camera if you need to. | 45 stars

Great Recorder!
I purchased this for my daughter, 9 yrs old, who had a recorder, but lost it. I purchased this because of the good reviews and I was very pleased with the quality and sound. My daughter played a few notes, and right away, we both notice the difference, clearer and smoother sound. The recorder she lost couldn't have been more than $5. This is a great recorder for the price! I highly recommend it - comes with a nice zipper pouch, cleaning rod, notes fingering sheet. No big deal, but the color of the recorder in the photo looked black, but in reality, it's a very very dark brown, sort of a brownish/black. And the white part is an ivory color. Still attractive. | 45 stars

DO NOT BUY
This card works well for a while and then just stops working. I've had it for over a year and have been back and forth with tech support. Their answer is always the same -- uninstall the drivers, do some genuflections (on OS X this involves repairing permissions a couple times; if you search the net you will find several folks with the same problems under Windows), and then reinstall the drivers. And they say hopefully it will be fixed in an update. There never was an update that addressed it, and the "fix" works fine, until the card stops working again. All the software responds normally but there is simply no sound coming out. The reinstallation process is tedious and unacceptable for an allegedly class compliant device.M-Audio makes decent audio products at reasonable prices... the name "audiophile" is a misnomer here but the sound quality is not bad when the thing works. The problem is the constant threat of the sound randomly going out -- sometimes it works fine for months, sometimes it loses sound only hours after reinstalling -- has made this thing frustrating as hell over the time I've had it. And the support sucks -- the people are nice but they have no suggestions other than the same old reinstall game; they acknowledge the problem but there doesn't seem to be any hope that it will be fixed in future drivers. | 01 star

tune in..
turn it on and drop out. THE father of folk music!!! he united the 60s hippies who were against a president (I think Nixon) who supported a war that they didnt. Sound familiar? How the times aren't a changin (you'd get this joke if you know about the music of Dylan). Throughout the decade he was the leader of the hippie movement, wrote and sang songs against teh government and at Woodstock appeared with the guitarists of the Rolling Stoens and closed out the threed ay event. So buy this and light some insense and have a "love-in" with one cool old dude!!Also, if you like 60s music check out, the Doors, Mammas and the Pappas, Sonny and Cher, 3 Dog Night and the Broadway recordings of Robert Goulet and Striesand!!!Dig it, CHildren!!!!! | 45 stars

Classic Sound
I've been using Ampeg proucts for 35 years, this cabinet is a perfect example of classic ampeg sound. It has plenty of deep response and a horn driver that you can control to add highs. It's compact and powerful enough to accomodate any performance setting. It's constructed extremely well and can handle plenty of watts. It's the best 4x10 cabinet I've heard and used. You won't be dissappointed. | 45 stars

Fun little amp
I bought this as a practice amp for its small size, ability to run on battery power, and headphone jack. It's met those needs and exceeded my expectations in several more areas.The amp simulations the Micro Cube provides are, well let's just say they're vaguely reminiscent of the amps they are trying to emulate. The sounds still differ from one another enough to be useful, though, and this little box can pump out some serious (digital) distortion. It's also fairly loud. Like the Pignose and other small amps, you can also mic this amp and get some really suprising results. Using the headphone jack as a line out will obviously yield pretty much the same result you're hearing through the speaker, as the sound is entirely digital.Effects aren't too bad. Trem is pretty good, reverb a notch behind, and I'd stay light on the Cube's flanger and chorus. Forget the "digital tuning fork" - it's just a button that generates a tone to tune to. Any kind of separate tuner is far more useful.Batteries seem to last forever with this thing. I'm amazed at the battery life, to be honest.Small, rugged, very usable as a practice amp, for street playing, recording experimentation, etc. Good stuff. | 34 stars

Snare Drum set
We were very pleased with the quality of this snare drum set. I concur with some of the other reviewers re: the practice pad odor. The smell was too strong to leave the practice pad in our son's room. I washed it and aired it out in the garage for a couple weeks. It still smells if you stick your nose up to it but the room no longer has an odor. The quality of the drum, carrying case, sticks, etc. are very good and worth the price. I do recommend this set. Our son loves it! | 45 stars

Martin M190 80/20 Bronze 12-string guitar strings
These guitar strings are perfect for any guitarist and really bring out the best of any acoustic guitar. Clear tones and easy on the fingers make these strings an exceptional choice. | 45 stars

Outstanding Value
I've been playing guitar for 15 years now. The most "valuable" guitar that I own was actually built from a kit that I bought from Carvin. I used to work at guitar center, so I've had a chance to mess around with the most expensive guitars available to the layperson. Yes, the $3000 Gibson's and PRS's were nice. I'm not good enough to really justify the purchase of one of those though... And honestly, I couldn't say "hey, that $3000 Gibson Les Paul really sounds $2300 better than that $700 Epiphone Les Paul."Anyway, I needed something with a fixed bridge. After a few months of researching and trying out guitars, I settled on this one because of the price and features. $350, gets you a guitar made of solid wood says a lot right there. When it arrived, the action was perfect, and it played surprisingly well. I couldn't find any real flaws in the workmanship, and the Grover tuners work perfectly. The only complaint I'd have is the pick-ups, but they're stock pick-ups (I'd even replace Gibson's stock pick-ups with Seymour Duncan's or EMG's) that I had already planned to replace.Ultimately, if you're looking for a budget axe that plays well, looks great and sounds great, I highly recommend this one! | 45 stars

One Great Guitar
Over the years I've owned several guitars and I have to say that this one is one of the best. The finish is a beautiful deep transparent red that brings out the grain underneath. After changing the strings to a gauge that I'm comfortable with it plays like a dream. The tones of the "Delta King" range from a country twang to rich and bluesy. All and all I have to say that the purchase of this guitar was one of best deals ever. | 45 stars

Unpasturized Cream. As good as it got!
`Cream Royal Albert Hall London, May 2-6, 2005' is a long drink of cold water for those of us who discovered Cream with their release of their first album, `Fresh Cream' in 1966. They were both the first `supergroup' and the vangard of the second British invasion, lead primarily by members of lesser `first British invasion' bands such as the Spenser Davis Group, the Graham Bond Organization, Them, the Manfred Mann group, and the Yardbirds.Listening to this live performance which includes virtually all of their well-known numbers, it's surprising to realize that virtually all of their best-known numbers come from their first three albums, `Fresh Cream', `Disrali Gears', and `Wheels of Fire'. And, every one of the eighteen numbers on this album are longish versions of tracks from those three albums.Another surprising thing about Cream is that at least half of their best-known performances were not written by band members. Of these eighteen tracks, seven (`I'm So Glad', `Spoonful', `Outside Woman Blues', `Rollin'and Tumblin', `Stormy Monday', `Born Under a Bad Sign', `Crossroads') were written by great blues / R & B composers, seven (`Sleepy Time Time', `N.S.U', `Politician', `Deserted Cities of the Heart', `We're Going Wrong', `White Room', `Sunshine of Your Love') were written by Jack Bruce (with or without collaboration from others), three (`Pressed Rat & Warthog', `Sweet Wine', `Toad') were written by Ginger Baker, and one (`Badge') was written by Eric Clapton and George Harrison.Of these, the most distinctive Cream numbers are `I'm So Glad', `Spoonful', `Crossroads', `Born Under a Bad Sign', `White Room', and `Sunshine of Your Love'. This is probably a very subjective take on these 18 numbers, but compared to, for example, Traffic, where virtually all their numbers were written by Steve Winwood or other band members, this is a high proportion of borrowed material.The performances on this album are as good or better than any performances I recall from my vinyl copies from the 1960s. By some combination of the power of nostalgia, the strength of the three principals performances, and the live ambience of Royal Albert Hall, this is a truly powerful set. And, if the audience was treated to all 18 numbers in a single performance, that must have been a rare treat.As a live album, I would rate this high, almost, but not quite as high as The Who's `Live at Leeds' (for all his hype, Ginger Baker is still not as impressive a drummer as the much missed Keith Moon). I also may not rate it quite as high as `Frank Zappa, Filmore East, June, 1971.For as great a surprise as this album is, there are remarkably few notes on the circumstances surrounding the performance. I'm sure Eric Clapton didn't need the money, but Bruce and Baker may actually have suggested it as a sure moneymaker, especially when you add in a tour with astronomical ticket prices.This album unquestionably trumps any other Cream live albums and gives us performances which stand tall next to their original studio performances. In fact, it is remarkable that at least for the vocals, the performances are so close to the originals. If possible, I think Clapton's guitar and Bruce's harmonica performances are even stronger than the original.This album is a winner if you were there when Cream was fresh or if Cream is nothing more than a memory of a line on Eric Clapton's very long resume. | 45 stars

Exactly as I remembered it!
Corny, stilted acting - so bad it is so very good.I remember seeing this as a teenager, but no one else in my family does. It is exactly as I remember it. The sets are paper mache, the "snow" is clumped ivory snow detergent, the plane is made of cardboard painted green, the acting is not exactly Emmy quality (to say the least), the "stars" and "guest stars" are all unknowns, and the plots unbelieveable. But this is one of the most enjoyable shows you will ever watch. It's a period piece that your kids will never believe could actually have been a tv show. It's so bad it's great! The production quality is kind of like "Lost in Space." For all of us who lived through the 60's and 70's, this is a must-have, if only for nostalgia purposes. I can't wait until the other seasons are available in the U.S. (currently only available in Europe) Go Champions - save the world - while the rest of us die laughing! | 34 stars

Beginner - Very Impressed
Great sounding acoustic for the price. I've played a few songs for the family and they were impressed with the tone. A lot of people were complaining that their action was too high or the strings were unplayable. This wasn't the case for me, the action wasn't much higher than my electric. The strings on the other hand seemed a little cheap, and I couldn't get my bends to produce any sound change unless I pressed realllly far. I'm new to acoustic, so maybe I'm not used to it.Overall, very satisfied with this purchase. | 45 stars

Digital pedal
The pedal "feels" fine under your foot and it works but it certainly doesn't put out the long sustained sound of a regular pedal on a real piano so that is why I gave it a 3. However, this is my first digital piano and hence my first digital pedal, so they may all sound like this, my expectations for it to sound like a real piano may be unrealistic no matter what pedal is purchased! | 23 stars

If you want just NOISE . . .
Yeah, not the best thing Dano's ever put out, but they do have other distortion pedals. This one just gives you a nasty boost of noise which is helpful if you dig the feedback effects created when combined with other pedals. Used JUST by itself it sounds just like noise, BUT you can control the tone of the noise which is good for your more experimental/industrial/Noise rock stuff, it's good to keep in your arsenal as just a few more knobs to twist around to get weird sounds. Personally, I love it for many of the reasons other people Hate it, but whatever. | 23 stars

I got 3 songs out of it before it broke.
I ordered this mixer because of the price. My band needed a mixer for practices and small shows but no one wanted to fork over the cash for a good one.The mixer had 2 mics running through it while powering 2 80 watt cabinets.The sound cut out after the third song of use. We pinpointed the problem to the speaker outputs. I tried 4 speaker cords with the same results; we'd get sound from it for a few songs and then it would cut out. If I twisted the cord a bit at the output jack, it would come back on again. Needless to say I returned it.I don't know if this is a common problem or I just got a dud mixer but, in the end, I spent a little more money and got a used mixer from a company I trust(Yamaha). | 01 star

Great buy! Great sound!
I am amazed at this digital piano. I shopped around and looked at a lot of digital pianos. Am I very glad I choose this one. This piano has some great built in functions, and when you want it to sound like a real piano, it does with a touch of a button. I needed one this size because I live in apartment. And getting a full size piano would have been out of the question. And I know my neighbors really appreciate the headphone jack(s). If your just learning to play, or love to play and don't have the room for a full size piano, you won't go wrong with the Casio PX-400R Digital Piano. Highly recomended. | 45 stars

LIked the keyboard but..
I bought the yamaha DGX-505 a little more than a year ago. I was really enjoying it. It did all the things I needed it to do until one day it just stopped making sound. I contacted customer support and they sent me to an authorized service dealer but unfortuately 3 weeks later they still can't figure out what is wrong and they are having trouble getting any help from Yamaha. Who knows when I will be able to play it again. | 23 stars

Nice while they lasted
I have been trying different light weight steel (vs nylon) strings on my Takamine acoustic, and got around to this Martin Marquis set. Sound was pretty good at first, but only a few weeks in and they already sound rather dead, lacking a nice ring or sustain. Prior D'Addario and Ernie Ball Extra Slinky sets lasted longer. | 23 stars

Heavy, Durable, Awesome.
The heavy picks (The purple ones) are 1.2mm, which is just the right size for me. These things are very durable, I really get into playing sometimes and start strumming really hard. These things hold up very well. I've had picks break in my hand before, but not these. Another good thing I have to say about these is that it's made up of a different plastic. It's hard to explain, but this type of plastic makes it harder for picks to slip out of your hand. By far, my favorite pick. And I have 100 of them. | 45 stars

Great value/Fun to play
Let's face it, a playable electric bass guitar for under $150, with a gig bag, cable and extras, is hard to believe--yet Stagg delivers! This axe is not without its flaws, for example some fret rattle, but for the money this former gigging bassman is quite satisfied with his purchase. Note: Some of the volume/tone pots arrived a little loose, but a simple adjustment with a wrench solved this minor problem (just pop off the knobs and tighten a wee bit if needed). I love the natural finish (hey, it even matches the wood floors in my house!). | 34 stars
|
Great Tuner
I don't use the other features, but as a tuner, this product is spot on. Filters out noise well when using the mic. Only two things to gripe with - 1. The leg that you can use to prop this up isn't very usable. and 2. It's not great for gig use as the screen isn't that readable.As a home tuner or for a brightly-lit gig - excellent! | 45 stars

Nice body, frustrating experience - old stock/head
The body of this drum is very nice having been assembled in Afghanistan. The wood work is pretty good. The metal fittings are so-so showing age and some wear (dullness near to rusting in some places). The failure here is in the head. This is a goat skin head and it is very old. It is nearly impossible to tune and the head that is on would have to be damaged to replace it as it has molded fairly intently to the body. Even when you think you have it tuned it can change from good to bad within a few hours (or even minutes) and back to good just sitting in a steady temperature indoor space. The seller is a nice person but specific information on replacement heads was lacking.If you know how to replace drum heads, and can find something that will fit, then you might find a very nice drum here. (I know someone from KC who has one of these and it sounds great with the right head on it.) But if you are fairly new to drum world then you will be frustrated here. | 23 stars

DW 9000 2 leg Hi Hat Stand
I own it, I play it, and I think it's the best hi hat stand available. It's very smooth feeling, extremely well made, very adjustable, easy to set up and break down, folds for transport, and will last a lifetime. By the way, I play it hard- stomp on it with my foot. It takes a beating from me but handles it with no problems. | 45 stars

Recent Purchase
I recently purchased this guitar and I really am happy with the quality it surpassed my expectations.I love the sound of it and it's easy to play. I was glad there was opinions and comments from other people that also purchased one.I thought over all they were pretty positive comments.It helped me make a decission I purchased the heriage cherryburst color it's a beautiful color the finish is so smooth.I have to say I am really happy with mine.I try to play it everyday.Hope this is helpful to anyone considering purchasing one.I consider myself an intermidate player. I have also had several other guitars.I kept trading them off as I wasn't happy with the quality or sound. | 45 stars

Bunk
I don’t know of anyone who wants to step away from a party to push a silly button every minute! the fog that did come out was mediocre at best. I ordered this for a Halloween party for the front porch with a red light and we didn’t even end up using the thing, it wasn’t worth the effort for the small effect it had. If I had known about the manual button you have to push every other minute I wouldn’t have wasted the $ or time. | 01 star

Great Cardiod, lame shotgun
This mic is not directional enough to be considered a shotgun mic. The cardiod setting seems to be great. I think it's a little more directional than a regular cardiod. The shotgun setting just boosts the signal though, rather than cutting out sound from the sides.You will probably want a shock mount for this (or any) mic in camera mounted or pole mounted applcations. Otherwise, you'll hear your hands on the camera. | 23 stars

great cup bell
this bell is great for the price. it has a nice clunk upon the inital strike, and then it has a highish pitched ring. i had a stagg black metal bell before this, and a sabian alu bell. the alu bell had a very different sound to it, and the stagg black metal bell sounded like a paiste chime, or a meinl classics bell.this bell sounds like a zilbel, but with more clunk, which i really like. unfortunately, the one i bought arrived damaged, and thast the only reason it doesnt get 5 stars.

Excellent Value of Denis Wick Company
I waited weeks before doing a review on this excellent cornet mouthpiece.The first thing I noticed in the nice box the Denis Wick 4W cornet mouthpiece arrived in, it was larger than the usual type box which says the maker cares about their product. Once out of the box I saw the silver plating was polished much more than other similar cornet mouthpieces I have,now please note I say higher polished than the cornet mouthpieces I have,not every one in the world.OK,so it also has a short shank,a very deep cup and open backbore and a wide not too wide rim. In fact I would say the cup depth is the deepest I have played. Yet it does not take too long to get used to the smooth response and smooth rich tone of this mouthpiece on my Bach Stradivarius and my old Lyon&Healy; 108 year old cornet.The price is very good also on avery nice cornet mouthpiece I would recommend if you want a rich smooth ballad tone. | 45 stars

Great value! Played first show with great tone!
I looked at these heads because I had heard great things about them and felt that Aquarian offered a variety of choices in product design and price. The Response 2 for me was a no brainer. I play in a band that entertains at weddings, bday parties, corporate events, etc. Most of our material is geared for dancing, some rock. After hearing the heads at my first show with them on, I knew they were great value. I used a DRUMDIAL percussion drum tuner to get the pitch I was looking for. I'm told that with the construction of the rim, these should remain in tune for the duration. I got a nice "bong" tone out of each that my sound man dialed in very easily. So far, I've had them on a total of a month and a half and the drums remain locked in tune. I'm very pleased with this purchase and will continue to consider Aquarian heads for my next update. | 45 stars

Amazingly convenient!
I purchased this item for myself. I am playing the violin just for fun. I have a very busy life that sometimes I find it time consuming to practice because of the steps to take before I can start like opening the case, setting up, etc...Since I received the Ingles violin stand, it made practicing very convenient. The violin is just right there set-up and ready to play anytime. I do not have to remove the shoulder rest either. It seems secure but it's too light. I am concerned that the whole stand with the violin can easily be knocked out. I do not like the locking mechanism of this stand. One has to manually open and lock. One step more to do and forget.It is not as handy for packing compared to the Hercules Travelite stand which I also purchased fr Amazon. I wish it would come with a small tray attached to the stand to hold the rosin and a durable water resistant carrying bag. It is adjustable which means it can grow with the violin size. I should have found out about this when my children were younger. It may have motivated them to practice more because it wouldn't take much set up time. Suggest to buy esp those with little children! | 34 stars

great guitars, lousy strings
ok , so i don't own a martin, but i do own a 74 ovation 6 string that has served me very well . when it came time toreplace the strings , i happened to be drooling over some very expensive martin guitars and thought while i'm herei might as well order some strings. they arrived a few days later and i immediately put them on and wasimmediately disappointed at the sound quality. very tinny . ..... i waited a week or so hoping that thingswould change .. they only got worst...so i went back to amazon and ordered d'addario phosphor bronze .12-.54 whichwere the oem for ovation and they were great. all that rich tone was back... a little more expensive but not much...never thought there could be that much difference in new strings.. valuable lesson | 01 star

Money!
My buddy recently purchased a MK423II clean boost and it made everything sound beefy and clear. Not wanting to be a copy cat I sampled every clean boost on the market to find my own tone juicer. I plugged into the MC402 and it was love at first listen! This box is incredibly quiet and deliverers nothing but pure clean boost goodness. Oh yeah, it also has an incredible overdrive circuit that prompted me to disolve my whole collection of distortion boxes. Keep it simple stupid is my new motto! Buy it, you won't be sorry. | 45 stars

Excellent MIDI recorder
I got this for my Yamaha Clavinova CLP-153S piano. It is easy to set up and run for recording yourself on the piano through MIDI to USB. I have noticed that I have a hard time to get a large dynamic of playing on this interface, but I do not know it is my Yamaha. For people you are using a Clavinova, I had to hold the MIDI button then press the piano button to be able to hear the sound on my laptop. Otherwise you hear anything. | 34 stars

good solid piece of hardware
We've got three or four of these now, and use them for larger ukuleles as well as a guitar. I'd love to see them come in a smaller size; the throat isn't adjustable, and if you try to hang a banjo or mandolin from one, you have to be sure that you're not putting pressure on the pegs or gears in the back - | 45 stars

Good basic product
This was exactly the ticket for what I needed: a basic stand that I could have onstage for my alto sax when I wasn't playing it. There is very little to say about this product, other than it does exactly what it is supposed to. I think it's sturdy and will hold up to heavy usage. I have only used it for an alto sax, not tenor - and I haven't used the flute/clarinet peg. It's not a fancy piece of gear, but it doesn't need to be. It's small and lightweight. And the price was right. | 45 stars

Exactly what I needed
I purchased 3 of these for use in recording conference speakers at our church. We use them paired with a digital voice recorder and sometimes a digital camcorder. In both applications the audio quality is so good (recording at 128kb with the voice recorder) that it's remarkable. It's also much clearer that the built in mic in both the voice recorder and camcorder. For a relatively inexpensive mic, I'm very pleased with audio quality. I'd heartily recommend the me-15 to anyone wanting to get better recording quality out of their voice recorder or camcorder. | 45 stars

Worth a shot
I'm using it with Vista Premium on a desktop. I think the Vista drivers could be better, because I've had some compatability problems with programs like Cakewalk and Audacity, whereas these programs worked seamlessly before I got the Tascam. I would recommend it anyways simply because the majority of the time it does work with these programs and I get good recordings off of my guitar onto Audacity. It's basically a plug and play, but there is some adjustments that must be made to the sound card you're replacing.The box itself is good quality metal, and is heavy enough that if I pull my guitar a little it doesn't come falling off my desk. The MIDI plugin is also just fine.Hopefully they'll release better Vista drivers down the road, maybe when the first service pack is released? Till then, it's a good product anyways. | 34 stars

Pay no attention to the negative reviews
This is a very solid stand for very little money. I almost did not buy it because of the negative reviews. Pay no attention. My tele does not lean back excessively as described in the negative reviews; does not sit too close to the floor; and the criticism that the guitar might collect too much dust is just plain stupid. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. This is a well made stand. I cannot speak for the other models from Onstage of this type but I am sure they are just as good as this early model of an Onstage aframe guitar stand. | 45 stars

Excellent value!
These were purchased to replace some burned out midrange drivers. I was impressed with the heavy duty nature of these, they made the originals look like cheap toys. The sound quality is very good as well. Excellent choice either for replacement or building a new speaker system. | 45 stars

Eliminator
Strong throw & cool shapes. However, music sensor doesn't work, so nothing moves. Used it 5 hours straight with no fuse/bulb problems. | 23 stars

It's not too bad.
Sometimes it seems more convenient to use my hand to turn the pegs rather than use this, but it does a pretty good job. I really like the string cutter built into the frame, and the peg puller is my favorite feature. Basically, I use this for everything except winding strings. | 23 stars

Everything it should be
I'm a singer/songwriter that researched for weeks before settling on which microphone to buy. After deciding on this one, I could not be more pleased. This microphone picks up guitar and vocals beautifully, and if anything it might be called too sensitive. If you're an independent musician on a budget looking to invest in a first microphone, I highly recommend this one. | 45 stars

Well it's better than Roxio at least it doesn't destroy 2000
I picked this up after having a terrible experience with Roxio.Its better but you have to download the updates before using the software. The neroMix sucks and the visualization application doesn't work when you click on the button to make it work it says on but nothing happens. I uninstalled this off my computer.Basically a lot of software out there add in a bunch of other software instead of focusing on what they do well ie burrning software or viedo stuff etc........... | 23 stars

GREAT SOUND
I finally got to try new monitors this weekend and they are worth every penny great sound from a small box that does not take up any room on stage. I picked up two small inexspensive amp stands that allow you to project sound better without blasting the volume. We are a three piece group and two of these monitors are plenty of sound for us. Very happy with the size and sound. THE VINMAN | 45 stars

Perfect
I used these babies to mount my vast collection of Rock Band and Guitar Hero guitars. They feel pretty durable, I know they'd hold much more weight, i've mounted my own acoustics on them too. Fantastic deal for the price.Bottom line is they work, they're cheap, buy them. | 45 stars

Nice!
Love this stand, bought foldouts for it separately.breaks down easy, but does not come with a carrying bag.That sells separately for $50 last time I checked. | 45 stars

My brief experience with Edirol R-09
Edirol R-09 WAVE/MP3 Recorder, BlackThis is not a technical review. Just my experience with the device.A sleek device. Can be carried anywhere with ease. Recording quality thru the microphone or line in is good. The built-in microphone/s are very sensitive-pick up every sound around. Capable of Recording in both MP3 and WAV formats. Records on to an SD Card(2GB Maximum)It has been useful for me in converting my cassettte tapes into MP3 format and then transferring it to my computer thru the provided USB cable. Works perfectly fine.2 AA batteries last about 3 1/2-4 hours with continuous recording.Of course, changing the batteries requires care.Price: appears to be expensive. Considering its size, weight and capabilities, it may be worth the cost. | 45 stars

Yes, it is awesome!!!!
I play hard rock, A Perfect Circle kinda band. Believe me, you cant get no better crash cymbal for this price. It sounds bold and delicious! | 45 stars

A decent keyboard for a beginner.
I bought this for my son to bring to his piano class. It's great for a beginner. Like everyone said, there is no adapter, but I didn't expect one. The music sounds decent for the price and the keys are larger, more like a piano. I like the grand piano function, the portability factor and the fact that he could use it with headphones. It is not touch sensitive, which I would have preferred, but for what I paid, I don't think I could get touch sensitive keys.This is good for a beginner, but for someone more advanced, I would recommend something higher end, if only to get the touch sensitive keys.___________________UPDATE 11/16/12: After having used this piano a few years, I have to say this keyboard is worth the money. We have a piano, but we use this keyboard for practice during extended vacations. Unlike cheaper keyboard we own, this one can play multiple notes at once. We bought an adapter and a sustain pedal for it, and it's as close to a piano as we can get without having our piano. It even includes a metronome. The only thing I'd like included is weighted touch-sensitive keys.This keyboard is lightweight and durable, and is our preferred keyboard when traveling. I love it. | 45 stars

Great Stand, After Assembly
Thank you to everyone who posted hints about how to put this stand together. Once assembled, it is sturdy and great with my YPG-235. I agree with others that the packaging and poor instructions make this a bit more challenging. But, read the hints here; go slowly; and it will all be done in about 30 minutes. And then you can enjoy! | 34 stars

It's adequate for practicing not for live performances.
It lacks the low end freq. that is needed for live performances, I prefer miking the instrument live more dynamics, you could still get this mike plus miking and control it using two channels on the mixer, you do that anyway even with a built-in mic system on a guitar controlling it on the guitar controls.Other than that the installation was easy, sometimes while using it, I might inadvertently pop the connector in the "0" hole. But it's okay, I think the 2 system that you mount inside would probably be better sounding but that's a whole lotta work to install, I have it mounted on my old guitar that I don't want to drill any holes in it, and it's good for that purpose, and it can be easily removed. But for me it's good enoug for fooling around not for pro gigs | 23 stars

Does the Job
I use this to record guitar and bass with GarageBand. Installing the new drivers was a bit confusing at first but I eventually got it up and running. I find when recording guitar I prefer to not have the GearBox program running as I get better sounds and more flexibility using GB effects and settings. For Bass, however, GearBox works well to boost the signal. The Mic input gain is kinda lame, as it really only kicks in at the end of the nob turn. After giving up on the piece of S !@*% M-audio Fast Track, it was nice to finally get my instruments recording. | 34 stars

Doluca ac adapter
The original unit I ordered and the replacement had covers that were not glued together, exposing the interior wiring. Rather ordering a new unit again, I glued it myself. This was not a genuine Yamaha adapter, but a cheap Chinese derivative. | 23 stars

Audio Technica works for you when you understand it's capabilities
Tested the system to establish range and capability. Nice looking system, good compliment when mounted on camera. System has clear audio up to 50 feet with open view of receiver (no obstructions such as walls trees, etc.) Both microphones are sufficient, providing clear audio, but an upgrade wouldn't hurt. Highly recommend this affordable system. | 45 stars

Awesome!
I love this pick to death! This was the only pick I used for the first six months I was learning how to play the guitar. After about two months, the logo had worn off. (If that's a problem for anybody for some reason) I started just carrying it around with me in my pocket because it was the only thing I would use to play a guitar with. We were also just "buddies" I guess. After awhile, it went through the wash with one of my pairs of jeans and I never found it. Luckily, I found this on Amazon though!It's thin, which is great. But it's not flexible much. Which makes it even better. The texture on it feels great on your fingers.I highly recommend this product to all guitar players. | 45 stars

Not for trombones
The metronome function is decent, but could be louder.The tuner cannot register any notes in the bottom third of my tenor trombone range. Whenever I play a low note, the tuner gets utterly confused and becomes unable to register higher notes as well. Definitely don't buy this tuner if you're a low brass player. Perhaps this tuner was meant for string instruments?If you're looking for an excellent tuner, I highly recommend the Boss TU-12H. | 12 stars
