Hey guys. I really need some help... I have an RME Multiface (the first version) and I've been using it with SX3 for sometime now and had no problems. Up until now, I've only been needing to track one channel at a time. However, I am now wanting to record multiple tracks (with the RME I have...

Quick question... I have both a SoundBlaster X-Fi soundcard as well as an RME Multiface PCI card in my computer. I just installed Cubase SX3.. and it automatically started using the Soundblaster card rather than the RME. Can anyone please tell me how to to find where I can select which...

I am thinking about buying a newer MacBook. It's primary use will just be email and normal stuff. However, at some point it might be nice to buy Logic to do some remote recording. I've heard that the new Intel chip in the Apples have had problems with Logic as well as some ProTools hardware...

I just watched the rock band The Killers on MTV2 playing every song from their new album. When they played the single, the guitar player was playing a hollow body guitar with a Fender maple neck. The headstock was kind of an odd shape.. almost a cross between the Tele and Strat headstock. I did...

So I am looking for a pair of inexpensive monitors that could be purchased at a Guitar Center. I am traveling on the road a lot and want a smaller pair of monitors to set up in hotel rooms. Price range maybe somewhere around $300-350 for a pair...

So I bought an RCA 7025 from TubeDepot.com... http://store.tubedepot.com/nos-7025-rca.html They then send me an Amperex 12AX7A tube instead, with a note attached that says "This tube is the same as an RCA 7025. Notice 12AX7A USA mark." Is this tube really the same thing? Did I get ripped off?

So I just bought one of these Epiphone Galaxie 10 amps: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Guitar/Amps?sku=480255 I want to put some new tubes in it.. but I don't know much about the different brands. Anyone have any good suggestions? I want the amp to have a nice clean tone, but be able...

I am looking for a pair of over-the-ear headphones to use with my iPod and on planes and whatnot (not for studio usage). My main concerns are comfort and sound quality. Noise canceling would be nice, but not necessary. Price is not a big deal either.. I was looking at the Bose...

Ok. So I need a quick fix.. I need to use my laptop to record some off-location vocals. The soundcard in the laptop is pretty crappy and has lots of latency. Anyone know of something that I can get at Guitar Center (it is the only thing I could get to quickly). I only need one input. I was...

So I found these new 15-watt class-a amps on the gibson site. after doing some research on them... I found out pretty much nothing. I'm not even sure if they have hit the streets yet. Anyone know anything? They look cool and retail for about $999...

Ok.. so this might be a reallllly dumb question... but does anyone like the old electric Ovation Vipers from the 70's? Ones like these or similiar: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=85852&item=7329731522&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW For some reason I really like the way they...

So I'm looking to get a pre for less than 2k. I want something that will last a long time and will be an investment of sorts. I will be using it mostly for pop recordings... vocals, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, etc. I've been looking at the UA 6176 and the Avalon 737. anyone have any...

So I am mixing these songs for a friend. I think they sound pretty great.. but am curious to see what you all might hear.. http://www.moderndaymiracle.com/mike.htm "Candy Apple" is a really great song. Kind of folk pop. "Autumn" isn't as strong a song.. but has a cool indie vibe to it...

Have two songs I am in the process of mixing. Definately need some extra set of ears to help finish... http://www.moderndaymiracle.com/andy.htm Any thoughts would be really appreciated..
