I recently noticed that my Vox amp (15w solid state, not very good) was producing a lot of hiss and electronic background noise even with nothing plugged in and everything turned down. I hadn't noticed this when I first bought the amp (about a year ago), so it may have occured recently. And the...

Can you please take a listen to this? This is my first ever try at recording the Acoustic Guitar. I took a lineout from my Yamaha Acoustic and I also miced it with a SM57 pointing towards the 12th fret. I ran those two signals into my Behringer mixer and took the output into my computer. You...

I tried running a search for this but I didn't get very accurate results so I'm going to ask this to you. Guitar strings was something which I didn't worry much about, but now that I got myself a new electro-acoustic (Yamaha APX 4a), I want to get some new strings for it. I mostly do rhythm...

After spending the last weekend at the local music shop district; I finally decided and bought a Yamaha APX-4a Electro-Acoustic guitar in Translucent Blue (2nd lowest in the APX line). It has a Spruce top (not solid unfortunately), nato (what kind of wood is that?) back sides and neck, indian...

Hello, I've been playing guitar for around 4 years now and I want to get an electro-acoustic guitar now. (I don't know if it's the right word, but I want an acoustic guitar a pickup or mic inside it) I have a pretty decent 2-3 year old Martin acoustic which is in mint condition, and I also...

I'm pretty sure that reverb comes last but do we EQ first or Compress/Limit first? How about other effects like flanger or gate, I'm a bit lost on the order of effects. Can anyone help me out?

Very basic 11 second mp3, recorded using the main outs on the TD-8 brain which were connected into the ins of my Delta-44 breakout box. Recorded in Cooledit pro, converted to 160kbs mp3. Go to http://www.xdrive.com and log into "memomusic" with the password "music" More coming soon, I'm...

Alright, my computer has 5 PCI Slots Slot 1 - Diamond Monster 3d card Slot 2 - Diamond Stealth-2 card Slot 3 - Sound blaster AWE-64 Slot 4 - Empty Slot 5 - Midiman Delta-44 Every since I installed the Midiman card I'm getting these annoying up and down going lines on my Sonny screen. And the...

I just got a Roland TD-8 brain with 4 mesh pads and 4 rubber pads. Connected to my Delta 44 sound card; it records greatly! I'd love to play drums for anyone who needs a drummer or drum tracks. I'll record some samples and post them up shortly. my email is memod@superonline.com

I just installed my Delta-44 the other day and it's conflicting with my Sound blaster AWE-64 sound card and my screen card. There is an incredible amount of noise in the soundblaster and my screen get's these lines going up and down (which never happened before). The thing is Delta-44 works...

I ordered them through sweetwater. The sum was about 2800 on their webpage but when I called them they gave me a discount and I got all I need (pads, brain, cables etc.) plus shipping for 2600. I got the TD-8 brain with the 12" 10" and the 8" mesh pads and some pads for cymbals. Can't wait till...

Ok here's a question. Say you have a pre-recorded drum or guitar track, and you want it to have some sort of a tube "warmness". Can you just run the prerecorded track through the ART tube preamp and get it warmed up? I have some doubts about this since the prerecorded track will already be at...

I've been looking forward to getting a Roland electronic kit which consists of the TD-8 brain with an assortment of pads and accessories. So far the best prices I've found on the net were at Zzounds. I'll be in NYC next week, is there a higher chance that Sam Ash or Manny's will have a lower...

So far I only know sweetwater. The card will be sent overseas since I'm in Turkey so Zzounds won't work since they don't ship overseas. Anyone know any other good/reliable sites with online ordering and the capability to ship overseas? Thanks...

So, we all know that in a professional studio you have a big mixer, racks of effects, mics etc. and the most important of all, lot's of high quality great sounding mic preamps. What about Live Concert Recordings? Take a band like Tower of Power, horn section, drums, percussion, keyboard, vocal...
