    guitars vs. amp, whats going on?

    just start checking things until you find the culprit. cabling, amp, shielding, grounding, pickups. Use your friend or a local music store to check your guitar/amp with other guitars and amps.

    snare drum tuning

    the snare is a ludwig 6.5 x 14 wood snare, it's tuned fairly tight. i don't know why because i like a more woody kind of snare with good attack, rather than a piccolo sort of high crack, if you know what i mean. do you have any suggestions for less ringy heads?

    Acid Music Studio

    What exactly do you intend to do? If you are doing loop based stuff, this is a good program. However it is not a multitrack recorder and before version 6.0 it didn't support vst and the few effects it came with sucked. the midi editor is simple and the built in instruments are basic. its a...

    cubase dongle help
