Band Tube

Music is the essence of life and I think that no one is untouched with this beautiful gift given to mankind. Even children also love to play music and enjoy it when they get a chance to do so. For this, you require various expensive musical instruments but what if you make your own music instruments at your home with little efforts? It is a fun and inexpensive idea to make Gongs, xylophones, hummers and triangles for children to play.

1. To make a Gong you need an old pie tin or a lid of a large metal popcorn tin, a metal table knife or spoon for a mallet, a hammer and nail, a string. You have to pound two nail holes on the edge of the pie tin or on the side of the popcorn lid two or three inches apart. Thread the string through the holes and tie a knot. The string should be about 1 ½ to 2 feet long enough so that you can easily hold it without touching the pan or tin. Hit the pan with the spoon or knife and you have a loud sound. To soften the sound, you need to wrap the knife or spoon with a piece of cloth and then use a child socks to cover the knife or spoon.

2. To make a Xylophone you require glass pop bottles of same size and then shape work best for a homemade xylophone and for this purpose, water glasses shall also work. Fill the glasses with different amount of water whereby one bottle should be almost filled to the top and the other one with very little water. The other bottles should vary somewhere in between the two. You can use as many or less bottles as you like. A knife or spoon would wok well as a mallet. Hit the side of the bottle or glass gently as each one shall make a different sound. You can even experiment with different levels of water to decide which note pitch you would like most. If you have a piano or other musical instrument that shall make various pitches then you can tune your bottles or glasses to the instrument.

3. Making a hummer is also very easy where you need to have an empty cardboard toilet paper or paper towel tube, a rubber band and a wax paper. Cut a round piece of wax paper that is larger than the ends of the tube. Cover one end with the wax paper and hold in place with the rubber band and make sounds into the opposite end of the tube.

4. You can also make a triangle with the help of a horseshoe or 4 to 8 inches of metal pipe, string and a knife or spoon. Loop the string at the curve of the horse shoe or thread it through the pipe. Tie a knot at the top and hit the horse shoe or pipe with the knife as soon as it dangles from the sting. Make sure that the string is strong enough to hold the pipe.

Drawmer S3 Multi-Band Stereo Tube Compressor $5450 The Drawmer S3 Multi-Band Stereo Tube Compressor offers previously unattainable control and tonality over each of the three bands. Gain control at each stage provides precise spectral balancing. The signal path consists of high performance input/output transformers, passive components and 10 tubes: 8 ECC83 and 2 12BH7 configured as a fully balanced Class A design. Because the LDR ' s (Light Dependent Resistors) in the compressors are temperature sensitive the Drawmer S3 houses an ' electronic oven ' which provides and sustains the optimum LDR operating temperature - thereby maintaining calibration accuracy and improving performance. The S3 stereo tube compressor ' s front panel LED indicates temperature status. Large-scale VU meters are switchable to ' Peak ' mode to show transient information. Two further VU meter re-scale modes are available (+10dB and +20dB) to accurately display the S3 compressor ' s ability to output levels of up to +30dBm. The Drawmer S3 Multi-Band Stereo Tube compressor has a master output section that includes controls for both Gain and stereo balance to compensate for source material with a Left/Right imbalance or disproportionate processing. Mix saving/enhancing features: V-Big & V-Air Among the unique features of the Drawmer S3 that can truly put a mix over the top, are its V-Big and V-Air functions. In a nutshell, V-Big is a variable filter that controls how much low end information is visible to the S3 ' s RMS detectors, so that extreme bass energy doesn ' t pull down the entire mix; and V-Air, which, as its name implies, lets you control the ever-popular "air" that makes vocals and recordings in general sound expensive. V-BIG Unlike previous Drawmer compressors the S2 V-Big control is fully variable allowing complete and subtle adjustments to the perceived level of bass, and the control of ‘pumping" and ducking that occurs. Frequency: 75, 125, 250 Hz: Sets the frequency that the ‘V-Big" control operates at, enabling the engineer to target a specific bass frequency. Level: -10 - +10: With the control set in a positive position the side chain ' s sensitivity to low frequencies is reduced, with the result that less gain reduction is applied to those frequencies, creating the effect that the bass is louder or ' bigger ' . It also has the benefit of reducing the ducking and pumping effect that occurs by high frequencies being ' pulled down ' in sync with the bass, helping to make mix compression much more affable. If set in a negative position the opposite occurs i.e. with bass frequencies being quieter and pumping increased. At the 0 position the ‘V-Big" control is effectively off. V-AIR V(ariable)-Air is used to manipulate the high end of an audio signal so that it sounds more intimate, detailed and transparent, but without making it sound harsh or introducing any noticeably unnatural artifacts. Cymbals are more vibrant without becoming splashy, and vocals sound more open but without

Used Tube-Tech Smc 2B Stereo Multi-Band Compressor $4463.55 The rackmount Tube-Tech SMC 2B Stereo Multiband Compressor is an all tube-based compressor that adds the warmth of vintage quality masters to your mix. If you've heard records by Beck, Offspring, Rufus Wainright, and All American Rejects, you'll find a Tube-Tech SMC 2B Multi-band compressor in the hands of Joe Chiccarelli strapped across the stereo bus. Tube-Tech SCM 2B Stereo Multi-band Compressor, First Take: Multi-bandband compression and variable crossover points let you craft your overall mix Three independent stereo optocompressors Flat frequency response across all three bands Balanced I/O and floating transformers Variable Crossover the Tube-Tech SCM 2B's variable crossover points ensure precise control with all three bands of optocompression. Independent band specific Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release & Gain parameters make the SMC 2B as flexible as it is accurate. For example, a stereo compressor can squash and muddy the midrange of rock records. With the SMC 2B, you can add just the slightest compression to the midrange where the guitars live to keep them vibrant and lively. The adjustable crossover points allows you to set the low-frequency range so that the bass on dance tracks won't get over-compressed. Three Stereo Optocompressors The Tube-Tech SMC 2B Stereo Multiband Compressor features three independent optical stereo compressors. The signal is divided into three bands (Low, Mid & High) by 6 dB/octave x-over networks with variable frequencies: 60-1200 Hz for Low/Mid band and 1,2-6 kHz for the Mid/High band. Flat Frequency Response The design of the crossover networks optimizes the summing of all three bands, resulting in a flat frequency response (within +/-0.25 dB), when the gain controls for each band are set at the same level. The three compressors feature Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release and Gain and a display showing gain reduction. Master levels are set with Output Gain and Balance controls. Balanced I/O and Floating Transformers Both Input and Output are balanced and have fully floating transformers with a static screen, which provides the greatest amount of electronic isolation for elimination of ground loops, resulting in super-quiet operation. The power supply and the sidechain circuit are based on a solid state circuit. With the exception of the output stage all DC voltages are stabilized.

Three bands with Adjustable Crossover PointsThe signal is divided into three bands (Low, Mid & High) by 6dB/octave crossover networks with 12 selectable frequencies: 60 - 1200Hz for Low/Mid band and 6 selectable frequencies: 1.2 - 6.0 Hz for the Mid/High band. The design of the crossover networks optimizes the summing of all three bands, resulting in a flat frequency response (within +/-0.25 dB), when the gain controls for each band are set at the same level. The two crossover frequencies are made with a single RC circuit thereby preserving optimum summation of the three bands at the output. Balanced I/O and Floating TransformersBoth Input and Output are balanced and have fully floating transformers with a static screen. This provides maximum electronic isolation for superior noise rejection. The power supply and the sidechain circuit are based on a solid state circuit.
