Hey guys, I bought a new laptop, Maudio Omnistudio, and Samson monitors, recently and Ive been having a few problems that maybe someone could help me out with. Sometimes when I play audio out from my computer through the soundcard and to the monitors, the sound starts becoming glitchy and...

I use 2 amps in my setup...aFender Power Chorus for the clean and a Peavey 5150 for the distortion. Then I run an Ernie Ball Pan/Volume pedal through both of them, that way when Im fading from clean into distorion, its not harsh but very smooth. Very good setup if you switch from clean to...

Hey, Today when I turned on my Peavey 5150 there was a really loud hum and I coulnt figure out what it was. I checked all the cables and I have a feeling its the tubes. How would I know if the tubes are bad? The symptoms I have are very loud hum and very low signal. If it is the tubes, how...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to go to learn some Latin guitar. Like a website or a book or something. I guess you could also say flamenco guitar, I dunno. But Im very interested in learning a new style of guitar. So Latin sounds like it would be fun to play. Also, Im...

I think you should just go ahead and try out the guitars you want, be it an Epiphone or a Squier. Ive played some great squiers and Epiphones and was totally shocked by how great they play. Dont judge the book by its cover! Sorry I didnt really answer your question, but good luck. Matt

YO, Is there any difference with Cabs that have the same speakers in them? For example, would a Laney 4x12 with Vintage 30's sound the same as a Mesa 4x12 with vintage 30's? Ive been searching for a new Cab for awhile and Mesa stuff is just so expensive. Any suggestions? Matt

Amazing...that was so crazy sounding. I think you just got me into Bluegrass, those guys are great players. Matt

How much are you willing to spend?

Yo, This is a great thread for me because Im looking for a new acoustic as well. Thing is, everything at the chain guitar stores is so expensive. Wheres a safe and affordable place to get a great acoustic. Im a little leery about Ebay becase it is an acoustic, but I wouldnt mind trying. What...

JP John Petrucci has a really diverse video. He covers lots of things like warming up, developing speed, sweeps, soloing better etc. He has a very detaied way of practicing and teaches you how to get the most out of your playing time. Matt

Hey everybody, I recently played a party a few weeks ago and I decided to not use my rack which contains a power conditioner, BBE Sonic Maximizer, and a TC Electronics G Major. Since I wasnt going to be using it, I took out most of the cables so I could use them elsewhere. Anyway, I was...

Thanks for the help! Ill be sure to do some investigating now. Matt

Yo, First off, hows everybody doin these days? I live in the Philadelphia area and its getting cold around here. Im not a big fan of the cold, but what can ya do? Alright, my question. Im running my guitar through a Peavey 5150 and Im liking the tone out of it, but I think it could be better...

Hey Guys, For a while Ive been recording with my crappy Emachines and my soundblaster Live! But now I want near studio quality recordings. I basically want something I can be proud of. WHats the WHole deal with Pro Tools? Ive heard so much about it and Im interested in knowing if its worth...
