Face Melt Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 im running my micron into my mixer which then runs into my sampler (SP-404) and i have that running into my MPC which i have running into an old amp (really old) which isn't grounded and that's going into some speakers. well because the amp isn't grounded sometimes if i turn the volume up loud on my mixer you can hear a kind of hum. so i started playing around with it using the FX on my SP-404 and then i started doing the feedback trick with my mixer (headphone into line2) and was just making weird sounds. apart from blowing a speaker can this be damaging the gear somehow? i just got my MPC and don't want to be breaking shit here.

arkei Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I did a lot of feedbacks with my old PMC-07 for some time. It's no longer my main mixer, but it's still in a good condition. What kind of mixer d'you have Face Melt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Doing feedback tricks could knock your street cred into the 90s, unless you have a new twist on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face Melt Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 I did a lot of feedbacks with my old PMC-07 for some time. It's no longer my main mixer, but it's still in a good condition. What kind of mixer d'you have Face Melt? vestax PMC05 with the FX send/return. Doing feedback tricks could knock your street cred into the 90s, unless you have a new twist on it. LOL. no im sending the feedback single through my sp404 which also has an FX unit built in and i just borrowed a distort pedal so i want to send the signal from the sp404 into that now and just sample maybe 30 seconds into the MPC and then chop different sounds. i want to start building up a colletion of FX units tho. it's kind of hard to get the sound of the feedback "smoothed out" if you know what i mean as it usually sounds really harsh on the ears.
