I just recieved a brand new sm57. i put it into my interface, which has preamps and phantom power on it, but i cant get any sound. My interface is a Zoom h4, any ideas what on what im doing wrong?

I was wondering, since i am not very happy with the distortion sound i am getting right now, about amp/guitar plugins in VST form. i have heard that there are some decent ones for free, but i dont know which ones are any good, or where to even find them. also, when using these plugins, is it...

i am in the process of building a fairly cheap recording studio, and i have realized that i am completley missing a very important part, the monitors. i will buy some lower end ones soon, but i am curious as to why headphones, and regular computer speakers wont work as well. is it the size...

this is my first mp3 post of a song called teller/what i got. it is more of just a rough draft because im getting new equipment soon and im going to re-record it. there are some off beat parts in the beginning. to record it i used my H4 as an interface, and miced my acousitc. i added some...

what is a good site to post my mp3's on?

Currently I am recording with a very simple recording chain. I use my zoom H4 4-track as an interface, using it's on-board mics to record my acoustic guitar, mexican strat, vocals, and my marshall amp. occasionally i will use the preamps on the H4 for plugging guitar directly in, but i prefer...

right now im looking at some mics for recording mostly acoustic guitar, vocals, and my amp. im looking at the SM57 and it seems to have gotten plenty of good reviews. the problem is that my audio interface only has regular 1/4 inch adapters. i have a mic to 1/4 inch adapter, but would that cause...

right now, i use my H4 portable recorder as an interface. it is really easy to record with it, but it is only so so as an interface. What are some good, cheap, interfaces. and what is the difference between USB and firewire

What are some good electric guitar cables. i usually just go with the normal store kind, but they aren't very reliable and usually end up breaking after a while. I want somthing that i wont have to keep replacing every couple of months.

What are some differences between cubase le, the free disk i got with my interface/4 track, and cubase 4 which is a couple hundered dollars. Right now there are a few problems with cubase le, like the software distortion sounding completley terrible, and some other inconveiniences. Is there any...

I have a mexican strat, i like how it plays, but i would really like a better sound. I want to get new pickups, but i dont know where to start. ive heard good and bad things about all different sorts of pickups and i dont want to go buying somthing that is going to end up sounding not-so-great...

Would it be worth the buy to purchase some better pickups for my mexican strat, i was thinking about the cobalt custom shops from fender, or would it just be a better move to get a whole new guitar completley. The tone on the pickups i have now is so-so, but they are very noisy in the 3rd 5th...
