I have this DiMarzio HS-2 pickup - based on the patent date, I believe it dates to 1984 or earlier. When I removed it from the pickguard it had been residing in for 30 years (the pickguard hasn't been in a guitar for 25 years), the two coils came apart. My question is, should the coils...

I wasn't sure exactly where to post this... I'm looking for suggestions on how to recreate this effect from The Cars' "Moving in Stereo": I think there's a number of oscillators running and a filter is being swept across them. It is periodic (and continues throughout the song), but the...

I met this guy and his team at a local Guitar Fest a few months back and thought what they are trying to do is pretty cool. I was going to post about it then, but thought I'd wait until they launch. Well, that time is near... SoulPedal is basically a wah pedal in your shoe (but wait, there's...

I was reading an SOS Session Notes article by Mike Senior and he wrote in one instance (it happened to be a trombone) he used compression with a "medium" release time. I looked at the screen shot for the plug-in he used, and the release time was 400 msec. Now it might be my electrical...

I'm working on a new song and I was thinking a talk box - you know, the plastic tube in the mouth, Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, etc. thing - would sound pretty cool in one section. The irony is I used to have one, the Dunlop, and after playing with it for about 15 minutes I decided it was the...

This is my first mix that I'm willing to share outside of the band and immediate family. Also my first time tracking vocals, or any other performers besides myself for that matter. The drums are Drummer in Logic Pro X. I will be recording real drums for this and some other songs we have soon...

Hi, This is my first post, although I've been reading threads here for a week or two and I appreciate the info/advice/opinions I've gleaned so far. A little back story before my questions - I've got a group of guys that get together about once or twice a month to jam. We started coming up...
