OK, please forgive me, since I'm a computer recording noob. I used to own ADATs, and I currently own a Yamaha AW-16G. I will soon be getting a Mac Book Pro, and I'm planning on using it for my recordings. I'll probably get the Logic Express program with it when I buy it (or just use Garage Band...

Does anyone own, or have you played, an Epiphone Les Paul Custom? I've been considering one lately, as it's become apparent that I'm not going to be shelling out $3K+ for a Gibson LP Custom. I was wondering how the Epi's rate? I'm kind of stuck between going for the Epi Custom, or a Gibson LP...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram (or can tell me what goes where???) for installing an EMG with only a single volume pot and no tone? I have my pickup and a stereo barrel jack ready to go, but I'm not really figuring out the wiring without the tone pot, and the EMG site doesn't provide a...

I'm putting together another project, and I have a body and Fender vintage 6 screw trem on it. I have a nice Warmoth Strat neck I'd like to use, but it's cut for a floyd locking nut. Would I be better off: a: finding a standard nut that replaces the floyd nut (I've found ebanol nuts with a...

I recently put in a used prewired EMG Da-20 David Gilmore strat set in in strat. Unfortunately, the neck pickup seems very loud, and is very noisy. Obviously, I there must be something with that pickup that isn't grounded. I've downloaded the schematic from EMG's website, but it really isn't...

Has anyone here ever used a Tech 21 Trademark 10 or Trademark 60. Have you recorded direct with them? I have a 60 coming that I bought for an 80's band project a friend and I are working on, as my current amp selection is down to one lonely Soldano Astroverb, but I've been wondering if the...

I'm looking into replacing an old Head Crasher Floyd Rose licensed bridge on my guitar with a new type. Question I have is this......I see most all of the new Floyd Rose bridges and licensed bridges all seem to have pivot studs now. On my current guitar, the pivot screws just screwed directly...

Hi everyone, I was looking at some of the various Vocal Intonation (pitch correction for vocals) products on the market. It makes me wonder, do these things really work? Has anyone had experience with them? I can't afford a TC Electronics device, but I've seen various others in the $300'ish...

Looking for some experiences with some of the lower cost Multi-Effect units. Say $300 and under. I'm looking to udate some effects for my home studio. Will be using them mainly for Reverbs and Delays for vocal, guitar, and bass. I have chorus effects for my guitar (small clone), and really don't...

Hey everyone. I'm working on a new project guitar. I have a Kramer Pacer Imperial body with 2 humbuckers, and I'm looking for some opinions of pickups. I play rock, usually heavier, at least the guitars, through my Soldano. I'm not going to go with EMG's, as I have/had a Warmoth body with 1 hum...

Anyone ever use a JL Cooper Data Sync Plus? It syncs midi to the time code on the ADAT tape without striping. I had recorded some stuff around 96, and was going to transfer the music from my ADAT to my new recorder, however, 2 out of 3 tapes that I synced my midi sequencer via the Data Sync...

I am going to soon be receiving a 1991 Fender USA Strat Plus. It currently has the SRV Texas Specials pickups installed, and I've read a wide variety of opinions on them. I'm definitely going to give them a listen to and see what I think of them, but I was wondering what pickups other strat...

Hi, I am a new AW16G owner, and am just trying to learn the ropes. I've recorded with a Tascam 688, and an ADAT system, but now I'm trying to learn the AW16G. My question is this. I use a Korg X-3 midi keyboard/sequencer to do all of my drums and other midi recording (sometimes piano...

Hi, For some reason, I can't get my unit to go into record mode. The DAT is not write-protected, I can get an input signal, but it just won't record. Every time I push the record button I get A-D-A on the screen. I push record with pause, and nothing. I push record with play, nothing again. Any...
