Reviews
"Inexpensive tray for your Rack Mount."
"It's made from heavy gague metal and the screw holes line up properly."
"I noticed too it can bend pretty easy, so you need to be cognizant of what you are placing on this rack, not anything too heavy."
"I have a number of components (Roku, FireTV, switch, cable modem, router, etc.)."
"I don't believe it will ever break and I'm going to keep it, but would be nice to be a bit sturdier."
"I am using this network rack tray to hold a 5-port Netgear managed switch, a Ubiquiti ERL-3 and a Raspberry Pi with no issues and plenty of room to spare."
"I don't know what weight it'll hold, but mine is holding lighter products."
"Have bought several of these now."

Monoprice 602650 Microphone Isolation Shield
Ambient and reflected sound can be a problem when recording acoustic and vocal tracks, especially in a "live" studio environment. This acoustic shield features an acoustic foam front and a vented metal back plate.
Reviews
"Build quality is nice, it feels solid and you can kill elephants with this thing, if needed."
"The feet on the bottom is pretty handy for those who might need set this on a desk for recording or whatever."
"As many others have stated it is rather heavy and it would have been nice to have a thread adapter for smaller microphones, but for actual sound isolation I have no complaints whatsoever."
"The mic cord goes up through the pipe into the wall. There are clamps on the back which easily fit onto a one inch pipe and the middle leg also comes off which would allow it to be threaded onto a mic stand rather than clamped."
"Great product, I use it on a desk in a room with some basic soundproofing, I'm getting fantastic recording quality, with audio that only needs to be tweaked, as opposed to heavily filtered and edited with noise reduction."
"This isolation shield comes with an attachment in the rear to connect your mic suspension boom to - or if you prefer, you can attach your mic to the mic stand that is included."
"very heavy for the mic stand I have, will have to buy a stronger mic stand and comes with absolutely no instructions on how to set it up!"
"(BTW, the Apogee Mic is worth the price because it gives you studio quality on your iPhone."

Reviews
"First put each one in only a bit using your fingers to make sure everything is lined up and then tighten each one bit by bit using the Allen wrench, going from bolt to bolt (as many as are in the current step in the instructions) until all are tight. In putting the tables onto the assembled frame, I had to struggle a bit to make sure the 4th bolt was aligned, but it was not so bad as to need a new pilot hole."
"The table tops are both really solid and the whole setup seems to have no flex with the foot pads adjusted to compensate for my wonky floor. My only gripe is the pre-drilled holes...I ended up putting the screws in most of the way with a drill before removing them and then attaching the table tops to the frame."
"I'm 6 foot 2 and my monitors are still a few inches lower than they should be even sitting on isolating pads. The plastic "sticker" that makes the desk black has a seam right on the bottom front edge of the desk and since they are so close together my hands are scraping the bottom right at the seam peeling back the sticker more and more and removing skin from my knuckles."
"I re-drilled all the pilot holes - started with a 1/16 and then moved to 3/32 and finally used a 3/16 to get an acceptable pilot hole so I didn't have to kill myself to screw the panels on. Finally, screwing the table top in was absurd -- the frame's screw holes are completely blocked by the cross-bar - you have to struggle to bend your screwdriver around that and sorta try to screw those in on an angle - and you absolutely cannot use a power driver so my hands almost fell apart after doing all 4 screws."
"All said and done, this COULD be a fantastic product with better packaging, handling, instruction, and sliders for the keyboard drawer."

Reviews
"The side is very sloppily assembled, not well aligned, and they tried to cover up scratches and bad welding with black magic marker. Seeing how the sides are assembled, I wouldn't be comfortable having this mounted without having a couple gusset brackets underneath it, and that's when it's empty."
"In practice, however, I ran into a few snags. I gave the rack five stars because the issues I ran into were clearly a lack of planning, but I thought I would post this warning that a 20" deep rack is probably a better investment if you're not absolutely certain of the dimensions of all the equipment going into this rack before it is purchased."
"It's very very well made with thoughtful touches like the ability to swing out from the wall. It's been in place for half a year and making changes to equipment or repairs is facilitated by opening panels and the hinge at the back allowing it to swing out from the wall. If you plan to use the latter feature you may want to make sure your cables that exit the back of the case do so on the hinge side."

Reviews
"I preach on campuses and on the streets and was looking for a heavy duty stand that would elevate my wireless Half Mile Hailer speaker system. I purchased the Pyle-Pro based on the huge number of positive reviews, and am glad that I did."
"Since she already had 2 left/right floor standing speakers and 2 surround sound speakers on Atlantic Satellite stands so the problem was how to place the center channel speaker at the right height behind her TV and entertainment stand."
"I needed a single speaker stand for my duo - I have hydraulic stands for the full band (that work great), but I wanted to keep my duo gear and my full band gear separate so I wouldn't have to swap bags or forget to pack or bring something."
"After a few light uses, the knob which tightens the tripod legs stripped, rendering the stand useless and dangerous. I ran a test of 5 stars which went right through, but the real review (which I attached our conversation) did not. -Darren. 4/8/2015 12:00:59 PM. That's all we can do. 4/8/2015 9:21:27 AM. PYLE.

Best Computer Recording Equipment

Akai Professional MPK Mini MKII | 25-Key Ultra-Portable USB MIDI Drum Pad & Keyboard Controller with Joystick, VIP Software Download Included
Includes VIP3.0 - the ground-breaking, award-winning music software platform that provides musicians and composers with a powerful hands-on control solution for their virtual instrument and virtual effect collection.
Reviews
"Unlike a synthesizer, MIDI controllers do not produce sound without software. So after you've downloaded the software and plug it in, you will still not have any sound generated until you've set everything up properly and loaded sounds onto the pads. It would be nice for them to take the time to make more tutorials. Everything I found just had to do with setting up the software, nothing really about HOW to actually use it. I am still learning to use this but it has gotten significantly funner to use as I have learned more about it and found sounds I like."
"A unique feature is the 4 way joystick for modulation and pitch control. It really helps keep the size of the keyboard down since you don't have to include those bulkier pitch and modulation wheels. Of course this is not the manufacturer's fault, they list "mini keys" in the first description of the product so I am not going to knock any stars for that. But the upside is that it makes the overall footprint very small, smaller than my computer keyboard infact. I think would be really neat if they made this same controller with normal sized keys. They make one similar (Akai Professional MPK25 25-Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with MPC Pads) but it has a lot more going on and is $80 more."

"I shoot videos for my youtube channel in outdoor locations, so I needed a microphone which would emphasize my voice and not the ambient noises surrounding me."
"Best Features: - It has great sound quality. - Comes with 3 muffs for the mic. - A metal mic clip that should last a long time. - It even has an adapter to use it both with your phone or your computer!"
"Gave this to my son for Christmas, so far it works well."
"Glad to see that it contained an extension cord, too, as the standard cord is only long enough to connect to a phone in a subject's pocket; with the extension, you can easily sit across from a subject."
"The sound is good and what you would expect from any high quality Mic."
"It is omnidirectional so it might pick up things around the room if they are loud sounds."
"Very happy with this simple solution to my need for a lapel mic to extend and improve the recording quality/capacity of my iPod Touch 6."

Dynamic, closed-ear headphones.Weight w/o cable: 285 g. Lightweight and comfortable, ergonomic design, Cord Length - 3.3 - 9.8 feet Coiled.
Reviews
"Cons: The bass is hard to hear unless you EQ it, and volume is not very high. ( great isolation , but very poor sound and bass response from a $300 headset !). Pros: I record music at home, so a flat signal helps ( hence the Pro name). These Senheisser HD Pro 280 are great for the price,and probably a neutral signal that works for recording, but you can explore other options, specially for portable listening , both in regards to comfort and getting a lively sound. I tuck the coiled cable on my side, using my belt, and walk around with them all day. Popular music like John Meyer or Dave Mathews Band, Cake, Pantera, pop, Jazz, sounds as good as piano music now."
"Don't kid yourself into thinking they'll sound as good as higher-end headphones (after comparing them to my not-even-that-fancy HD 600s, I can definitively say that they don't, the clarity just isn't there) but if the price is right for you and you need sound isolation (they block out even more sound than I was expecting) then these should be at the top of your list."
"I was looking for a great set of headphones that would block out noise from my coworkers. This is more of a general issue with closed-ear cans rather than this specific model, but since it is my first pair, I happened to notice it."
"While I can hear sounds, I can no longer follow a conversation, as I could with my on-ear headphones. As other reviewers have commented, when you get quality headphones, you can hear what's missing when you don't have a great sound source (Pandora free, Youtube)."
"The sound on these headphones is phenomenal. After ten years of use it in no way draws away from the quality of these for the price."

Reviews
"I thought this recorder might recapture some of that simplicity while still allowing me to manipulate the final tracks or master recording in a pc program if I wished. 2 stereo tracks doing the primary guitar part, 2 stereo tracks doing a bass part, and two tracks of background chords and harmonics. You tell the unit which inputs you are going to use (mic, line, guitar), press the 1+2 track record buttons, set your levels, press PLAY and RECORD together and you’re off. The previous tracks automatically play back while your are recording new tracks AND THERE ARE NO LATENCY ISSUES! No need to start from the beginning to record new tracks. The unit has a built in metronome and tuner, you can bounce tracks with no degradation (freeing up tracks for more recording), mix 8 tracks down to a stereo mix, and then mastering effects (auto or manual) can be applied to the final master. The "mixer" is used to set levels for recording the 2 active tracks and/or playback levels of previously recorded tracks."
"it wont be, your beast of burden/ records your songs/your feelings wont be hurtin/ now that you got something to record your masterpiece. (im sure i didnt have to tell you to sing that with the stones song in mind now did i?"
"I recommend getting the Tascam power adapter as it's NOT included with the recorder. However, if you want to take your multi-track and mix it down to tape and give it that analog warmth..... go ahead. Tascam has put a lot of features into this unit and they all work."
"given the size and price, a lot of the EQ and other sound options are accessed through some nerve-wracking menus."
"Great Unit, easy to use..works as my ideas recorder when im on the road with either my Keyboard or Guitar."
"Love this little unit."
"Returned and upgraded for the 8 track model."

Reviews
"I've had great experiences with Mpow earbuds previously, so I was very happy to see these new upgraded Thor over-ear headphones. UPDATE: The first full charge (from when the item started chiming to let me know the battery was low, even though it did still play) took 310mAh at 0.2A. When I am wearing them and playing music, I can hardly hear any outside noises, which was a problem when the doorbell rang. The carry bag fabric doesn't feel as quality as I expect and it clings to any dry or rough parts of my hands. Mpow's customer service is stellar and gives me high confidence should any issues ever arise."
"They are very secure for me, even when moving around vigorously (haven't worn them during extreme movement though)."
"However, I bought them FOR the bluetooth capability. I will post another edit if I have any issues, but as of right now I am satisfied."
"Second pair of Mpow bluetooth headphones I have purchased."
"Only took three days for the cat to eat through the cord on these, not sure if steel-braided cords are a viable option for future models."
"Sure they'll post Comments like the one below - anything to make them look good to a potential customer surveying the Product Reviews - but when you actually reach out to them, you get no response."
"I cannot review how they actually work(sound quality etc) as there was no point in pairing or trying the device as I woudln't be keep them."

"The only thing I didn't like was they didn't come with cables to plug into your interface, but that was only an extra 20 bucks, and a trip to Guitar Center."
"I finally got around to buying mixing monitors for my home studio and it has made all the difference. I can't say for certain that they are "accurate" but what I can say is that after mixing my song with these, it finally played back on every device, including car stereos, without and harshness or muddiness. I know that if I remove the muddiness and harshness I hear on these monitors, it will be removed on others too without changing the overall sound."
"I have these speakers as my computer speakers, along with the S10 subwoofer, completely worth it."
"I am not a professional, but the sound quality, craftsmanship and price was worth every penny."
"Super happy with this choice , fast delivery , product new in the box with no damages."

Reviews
"Here is my full video review of the Blue Yeti microphone that I made for my YouTube channel."
"If you ever tried to stream through a Windows pc you will notice a delay between your live voice and what goes through the mic. There is no delay when you plug your headphones directly into the mic."
"I was able to pick one up on a lightning deal for $89 and it's well worth that price, however, I've had a few problems with it from day one that have since been rectified. Number one, I had to ship the first one back because one of the screws that holds the microphone into place was stripped out. Finally we can talk about the good and what should matter most when you are purchasing an expensive USB microphone and that is the sound quality -- it's excellent. If you are streaming a podcast or recording scratch audio for video production like I use it for, this microphone is really great."
"You can Google strategies for minimizing the surrounding hiss / hum interference... once you get all the outside sounds minimized, this mic is amazing!!"
"It will pick up outdoor noise from A/C compressors and lawn mowers a block away, so use a good mic shield or sound box."
"It records sound so accurately and is flexible enough with its various settings to adapt to different recording situations (e.g. solo, group, interview, acoustic, big room, small room, etc.). While I don't notice a huge difference in the recording sound quality during playback, I do see it when I start editing and mixing the audio."
