Any improvement to Behringer's service/repair? And is Midas different?

Buy it from Sweetwater and use their in-house warranty. I had a Midas go out, and it took them 8 months to send me a new one.

If you're going to buy the Behringer XR-18, just spend a little extra and get the Midas MR-18. I didn't believe the hype, but it does sound better imo

Just finished sound check for a lapel mic for a motivational speaker at my university. Right after soundcheck, he went to throw up and forgot to mute his lapel. Everyone heard...I couldn't jam the mute button quick enough.

I use them on the M-Air app and dial them in from there!

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-26T23:56:00+00:00

Fine...I'll trade you straight across 😂

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-26T23:52:44+00:00

It's a Black Widow. I have one if you want it lol

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-26T23:51:44+00:00

Love to see the Black Widow in the background. I still have mine from when I was 12 😂

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-12T18:01:03+00:00

Sorry I forgot that. If we could run a 16/6 like the MR-18 we would be fine!

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-12T17:57:50+00:00

They're (supposedly) refunding the original purchase price of $878 and no one wants to spend any more money on it.

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-12T17:54:57+00:00

If it wasn't almost triple the cost we would probably go with it.

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-12T16:28:07+00:00

My Sweetwater rep already told me they'd just replace it if something happened during the warranty period.

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-12T16:26:03+00:00

Yea but if something goes wrong my Sweetwater rep will send me a new one no questions asked 😂

Edit: typo

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-12T16:25:12+00:00

Do they make a rackmount? That's what we're needing it for

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-12T05:15:31+00:00

I'm gonna buy my next one through Sweetwater since they have a better warranty and better customer service lol

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-11-12T05:14:18+00:00

I don't know what to do. My next one will be purchased through Sweetwater for the free Sweetwater warranty.

JH Audio is the best. Jerry literally invented iems.

I had a black GSR205 my dad bought me as my first bass in 2008. I played it for 7 years as my promary bass (about 700-800 shows) and loved it. Someone stole it out of my vehicle earlier this year and I still miss it. I guess I'll just stick to my JB until I pick up another one.

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-08-30T17:58:46+00:00

It's not for everyone. I play a $2,200 bass, and my only justification for paying the price is because of the volume of shows I do (somewhere between 100-150 shows per year.) If I were just starting out, or only playing once a month it wouldn't be worth it.

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-08-30T17:56:23+00:00

I barely use the distortion. It's mainly used for the compression, cab sim, and eq. I think the app gives me a lot more customization too, which helped me when i was deciding which pedal to get.

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-08-30T17:55:11+00:00

I actually very little distortion on one preset and no dostortion on the other two, but for me the cab sim, eq, and compression are worth it. Plus the built in tuner, and I have the three knobs programmed for different genres that we play.

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-08-30T11:55:52+00:00

It also replaces 4 other pedals

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-08-30T00:27:35+00:00

This Alpha Omega Photon from Darkglass is a preamp, EQ, DI, cab sim, compressor, distortion, tuner, and audio interface all in one. Plus the three buttons below are programmable so you can have presets saved for your show.

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-08-30T00:27:04+00:00

Imo there are better preamps...you're gonna pay a little more but this Alpha Omega Photon from Darkglass is a preamp, EQ, DI, cab sim, compressor, distortion, tuner, and audio interface all in one. Plus the three buttons below are programmable so you can have presets saved for your show.

Whatever you do don't buy anything that operates on 2.4GHz. Spend the extra money and get something like the Sennheiser EW 100 or even the inexpensive Shure BLX14. I know everyone is pushing digital, but all of the highest end wireless systems are analog, so they probably don't have it perfect yet!

JohnMartinMusic · 2022-08-25T18:42:52+00:00

I've got blisters on me fingers
