I recently had a grandfather pass away and aquired his beautiful walnut cabnit stereo(magnavox) probobly from the early fifties. it came with a reel to reel in great shape with all the manuals and even the receipt, my question is this, what do I have?? it only has two channels but I think I can...

ok, the only way i will understand how to use this thing is through example. Sorry for no picture, I have a yamaha mg10/2 and the only thing I use it for is to power my condenser mic and I'll also run my guitar through it sometimes as well, at what point is this thing maxing out? can I use up...

o.k let me tell you my background, I am a 15 year guitar player with a pretty good ear for music ( although that has nothing to do with my dilemma) I have over the years struggled very hard for my own sound as an artist. I recently bought some cheap recording gear (tascam 4 track, yamaha mg10/2...

I am not a drummer but am interested in how to record them, heres what I dont understand, if you have enough tracks of course you would want to mic every piece you can so you will have full mixing on the whole set, but heres what I dont understand, if you mic everything wont all mics pick up on...

I have a tascam mf-po1 4 track and I dont know how to bounce tracks, could someone tell me in laymens terms.

I am in the process of doing some recording of my own(by myself) and I would love to be able to do some two or three part harmonies, do they make anything that I could use to accomplish that???Also, I need to clean up my lead vocal a little bit but dont have any reverb or sound effects, what...

I am a pretty good guitar player and really never been in a band. I know good music and sound but just wanted to get some feedback on this little 90 watt amp I bought at the pawn shop. I think it sounds ok I mean when i heard it for the first time the clean channel sounded great, but now I think...

I just bought a yamaha mg10/2 mixer(do i know what im doing, no) anyway I have a little tascam fourtrack and it helps with mic power,more than one instrument being recorded,and it just looks cool to have ( you know it makes me feel like im doing something) enough joking, I was told that it is...

I thought I would ask how other people compose songs?? the way I do it(I play guitar) I will write down the lyrics, then pick the guitar and start strumming and see what works,its very rare that I have a melody beforehand. Is that wrong? what works for you??

I was wondering if there is a digital eight track on the market with individual I/o for each track?. The reason being, it would be much easier on me to have full control of each track on playback, or as I'm ready to mix.I'll be able to see the whole picture if you know what I mean.I also assume...

I am looking for some good speakers to listen to my mix before I record to cd, I dont want to spend alot of money, but dont want junk either. The speakers will never leave my studio there just for mixing purposes only. Also can I run them through my mixer or do I need to invest in a good amp???

I need some input on a effects buy. I want to buy an all in one effects pedal with a wah, I dont like rack processers. It needs to be tough enough to take everywhere(gigs, rehersal,and the studio). Can anyone recommend a guitar pedal like that, I know theres tons of them. But I really dont need...

Can anyone tell me the difference in the 440 441 442 443 calibration. I dont understand the reason behind changing the tuning from standerd 440.

I know what delay is as far as the pedal goes, but I saw this little box with actual recording tape inside it(of course) it said" lasts alot of hours" what do they mean? does the effect just stop?I would hope not it costs about 1,000.00. Also is it for recording or live sound?

I just bought a gxl2200 condenser mic(uni-directional) I would love some feed back on this buy,I'm pretty much going to mic my guitar as well as vocals.
