The service I received was astounding. Ordered on Saturday. Arrived on Monday. Dolphin Music, the best music supplier I've come across for a while.

The product itself. Not a single flaw. There is a slavery of the 1 hour set up time and then powering up but for it's value ... What a product. No problems at present. Very responsive, delivered in perfect condition.

I am planning on using many of the MIDI features but currently I am so shocked at was this product offers it's difficult to actually pull myself away. Even coming to write this review was hard to do. It is just so much fun and the rhythms that you can create is phenomenal.

If your looking for a starter kit, my recommendation is this. With Dolphin Music you even get a Drum Throne which is very comfortable.

Seriously consider this a purchase if you are looking for an e-kit.

Great value for money..good clear sound. Comes with Shockmount which is great and feels heavy, standard large windscreen, and the case is good looking too. The Mic itself feels strong like if you dropped it, it would still survive. Overall its all you need for recording vocals. Better microphones out there but much more expensive and most of them dont even come with a shockmount.
This mic is very good value for money and u wont be dissapointed.
Great quality great price

This, quite simply, the best pedal tuner available right now. The biggest thing I look for in a tuner is speed - there's nothing more annoying than waiting for a tuner to detect the right note, except perhaps when it flicks between two different notes and jumps from in tune to sharp to flat and back again. This tuner is FAST and shows the correct note and tuning indication every time. It works as a conventional tuner but can also be switch to simulate a strobe tuner if you prefer. The 'true' bypass is very good and totally transparent. The whole unit it built like a tank and will take serious amounts of abuse. Buy it. Now.

Bought this guitar 3 weeks ago and i wasn't disapointed! The sound quality is EXCELLENT, when it is rested on my thigh while i'm playing it doesn't hurt, stays ir tune for a great deal longer than the other guitars i've had and it look wonderful! Its perfect in everyway!

This is an above average factory-built guitar. But not a luthiers choice of course. There are some minors on the finish, but you have to check closely to see them.

The use of solid wood troughout will pay off in time, as I think the guitar will serve me well in times to come. I have played lots of "cheap" classics, and the soledad is so far the best. It is also 99,9% chromatic flawless. If you are into it, you will be able to adjust with different saddles and bones to hit your set of string, I,m sure.

I had to lower the action on the nut. These guitars are of course not "set up" by factory. The action on the saddle are high, but please don,t touch it. The strings are now not buzzing, and the whole sound comes without a fuzz (wonderful feeling). The sound is powerful with lots of bass. You don,t get that kind of projection on cheaper guitars. The soledad has it.

I change the upper B and E strings to some harder tension (red alliance savarez) to achieve the edge on the trebles that missing. The G-string was best as original. (Also the basses). The "luxury problem" seems to be that with all the amount of sound the trebles are drowning.

Thats my review after one months ownership.

As an semi-skilled classic-hobbiest, played for 25 years, I am very pleased with the guitar, and gonna keep it. By the way, I have never tried a handbuilt luthier,s guitar...what is it?

PS. Most Admiraguitars on the cheaper scale has also a narrow nutwidth (under 52 mm), the Solidad is of course full size.

It is so easy to spends huge amounts of hard earned cash on Cubase, simply because it is so good. I needed to upgrade my old computer and so the software had to be upgraded too. I went from Cubase SX2 to Cubase Essential 5 and must admit to being a bit unsure as to whether the 'cut down' version would be as good as I was used to. I was not disappointed, not only is Essential 5 miles better than SX2, it is so much easier to set up and use. I don't need the full powered, all bells and whistles package that Cubase 5 gives, so if you only need software to put together your work with MIDI, this is it. The best thing about Essential 5 is that there is a great amount of instinctiveness about it. Once loaded and you are up and running (don't forget the dongle!) everything is there, ready to use. I love it.

OK so if I did have oodles of cash I would buy the top package, but believe me, Essential 5 hits the spot beautifully.

A great piece of software.

This is the most authentic solo string library I've possessed. Great sound on each patch and the ability to swap between patches like staccato and legato etc by key switching is great. You don’t need a master key board as recommended if you compose music in Key Editor in Cubase. You have all midi commands you need like velocity, pitch-bend, aftertouch, expression, pedal, breath, main volume etc including key swithing in Key Editor to control the Vienna Ensemble.

Things I’ve noticed that are not so good is the x-fading technology for sustain notes. It might be excellent with other Vienna instruments, but not strings. When you use the Velocity X-fader for sustained strings and fade up for a stronger note, the soft note is playing while a stronger note is fading in. When both notes reach 50%, you can slightly hear “two” strings playing at the same time, creating a tiny “flanger” effect, which is not so good in my opinion. But this is impossible to hear using Ponticello since its a “fuzzy” sound. When using Cell X-fade, you will learn that some patches work together, and others don’t. But there are methods to get around the problem with “two” strings playing at the same time, and that’s when you X-fade quick. That could be from legato-no-vibrato to legato-vibrato or tremolo. Ponticello is the only sustain I’ve noticed you can X-fade slow. Another funny thing is that a few samples has a background noise from the player. I don’t know what it is, but it sounds like dangling necklace or something, its like a tiny “click“ of metal. But I’ve recorded real strings before and know its almost impossible to avoid background noises since there are humans playing the instrument. But its kind of sad you get that noise every time you play a specific note. However, up-grades from Vienna will probably be available in the future. Another minus was the registration, because the web addresses in the video tutorials to download the latest eLicenser was old and not in use anymore. But it was not that hard to navigate around internet to find what you needed in order to make it work. And I have never had any complications using this product after.

Some people might disagree with me when it comes to the X-fading problem. It is a product very close to be perfect, and it is probably to some. But will there ever be a sample library that can replace a real string player when these instruments are so “organic”?

Anyway, I love this product. Well done Vienna!

Just bought Fender CD-60CE Natural and I'm delighted with it, has a great clear sound, easy to play, and fits me like a glove. I’ve also bought the Fender mini twin amp 1950s classic style to go with it. At first I was mortified how small it was, but soon found it has a great sound and sits neatly on my computer desk top. I phoned Dolphin and a guy answered who put together an Accessory Pack for me, guitar lead, strap, bag and stand. Everything came in good time and in good condition. I’ll gladly continue to shop with them.

Ibanez RGA32 - Mahogany Oil

The specs
Mahogany body, 3-piece mapleWizard II neck, rosewood fretboard, 24 jumbo frets, Gibraltar standard bridge, Ibanez LZ3-N (neck) & LZ3-B (bridge) humbucker pickups.

I wanted a guitar that had 24 frets, fixed bridge, could be easily hot rodded in the future with higher end pickups, etc. and basically didn't break the bank!
The RGA32 fitted the bill exactly.
The mahogany body adds sustain and more low end than other body woods. Very comfortable, especially with the contoured top.
The fixed bridge means better tuning stability, especially at this price range. I liked the Gibraltar bridge. More mass than a regular fixed bridge, thus more sustain.
The neck is the best thing about this guitar. Ibanez always make great necks - very comfortable, flat and easy to play chords and single note lines. ..even has a bound fingerboard! At this price, you would expect a cheap feeling neck, but the rga32 neck has a feel of quality. Also, the neck is slightly thicker than the prestige line, which i prefer.

The feel of the neck to body is rock solid and this maybe subliminal but it adds to the overall feel of the instrument.

The pickups are active, which give more umph than regular passive pickups - good crunch tones and quite good clean sounds, but don't expect strat-like clean sounds. This is aimed at a rock type player. If you need a different sound, then you just need to replace the pickups.

At this price range, i think you have to do your research on squeezing the most guitar for the money. Ibanez, i think are the best at providing value for money, thus the rga32 is a solid foundation to hotrod, making the instrument useful for years to come.

I am extatic with my purchase!! top quality guitar, i have literally been playing it until my fingers have been bleeding&then some more!! :) xoxo

Excellent cymbals. Got them for my birthday last month and they sound really profesional, as well as quality for money. More expensive than the ZBTs or ZXTs, but definatly worth paying that little bit more for! Sound great on my kit.

I love this guitar! Well finished,great sound and brilliant playability.For the money,this is well worth it.

Got this guitar late last month. Brilliant for that classic rock sound. Good sturdy build. The fake faded patch round the back looks silly, but again the sound you get is amazing especially for the price. For all things rock/blues based then this is the guitar to get. If you want to play funk or pop, then get a fender strat.

I've had one of these for a while now, and have have to say that for the money it's practically unbeatable. Granted, it doesn't have a huge range of ports and sockets (RCA in/out, optical out and line out) but it does one job and does it very well. In fact, my only niggle is that the optical out port didn't have a cover - nothing a bit of gaffer tape didn't fix though.

Works fine with Windows, although you'd be better off downloading ASIO4ALL rather than using the Behringer drivers, and it works perfectly with Linux as well

I didn't really expect much at the price these units come in at but I was pleasantly surprised. They actually perform pretty well for vocals with a good pickup pattern, and with a tweak or two on the EQ pretty much match my Shures. They would also make a great mic for speaker cabs. I suspect I'll be buying some more.

The unit feels a little fragile - the handles in particular - but it seems to be standing up to punishment well. Sound is great, with good dispertion and the ability to tweak the EQ means it can cope well with most environments. I wouldn't though recommend using this at very low volumes as it can get a bit noisy. Overall really can't complain for the price. A great buy!
