hey, what's going ahn here? i turn around for a few weeks, and you guys let the forums die?? whatsa matter wit you? anywho, i have this shitty c-media soundcard in my internet computer that was working fine, and i made the mistake of 'upgrading' it while i was running window's auto update...

how bigger (if bigger) is a les paul than a tele, all measures considered? i'm asking because i want to have an lp sent to me via usps, and they won't send anything bigger than 109" in total measures. i'm using the tele as comparison because someone sent me a tele recently via usps, so i know a...

ok, so all of you guys have been real nice and helpful, and following your advice i got myself a gorgeous transparent red ibanez artcore afs75t for pretty cheap. it's a semi with a bigsby and two humbucker pickups. now my gear is: crate vintage club 25w tube amp ampeg reverbrocket 50w tube amp...

my band's cd's already been released, but i'm really not happy with how it turned out. i feel like it's kind of muffled, and lacks punch. i wasn't going for a powerful sound or anything, but it's really not what i wanted. if anyone could please listen to a couple of songs from our album, and...

if you had a chance to trade your fireglo rick 360 for a jetglo 325 v63, what would you do? seriously.

ok, it's gotta be cheap. i don't mind it being japanese, korean, mexican, whatever, as long as it's a lot of bang for the buck, and very 'upgradeable'. i'm trying to stay under $500, but about $300 would be great, if there is a good enough guitar at that range. so my case is i play indie jangle...

i've got my eye on this tube amp on ebay that is going pretty cheap, and closing in a few hours, but the description says: Note: This amp is noisey when you first turn it on, but after it warms up for about 10 minutes, it behaves normally. I don't know if it needs a new tube, or to be biased, or...

anyone here tried them? i'm oscillating between a danelectro, a dearmond and an italia (mondial) as my second guitar. the only one other i have is a rick 360. i've already had epiphone and fender guitars, if that makes any difference. i need a little more variety and contrast to my rick. no...

i have an lg cd-recorder on my 1ghz piii daw that simply stopped working. apparently it has to do with the freaking audio chipset that came with the computer. i've tried all i knew, but that wasn't enough (not much actually), but still i can't get the stupid cd-recorder to work. anyone's had...

i'm looking to have a friend in the u.s. buy me a danelectro 12-string, and mail it to me over in brazil. i'm planning to send it jack-the-ripper-style as neck and body in separate packages to save on shipping and customs taxes. are there any danelectro owners here who have unscrewed danos'...

when i'm programming drums, i usually sequence the basic rhythm pattern for the song, then copy-paste it to as many bars as the song has, and then do the sequence-editing as i do the arranging. but what happens sometimes is that i get notes copied over one another, then i have to go over them...

i'm interested specially in the farfisa and vox options that are available. how close are they? are they worth the admission fee?

suppose (only suppose) i had the money, should i get a better preamp? i have a mackie 1202 (older model) and a pro audio 2496 soundcard/pre. i tracked a lot of songs with the pro audio, and it sounds pretty good to me. but i wonder what i may gain in quality, warmth, clarity or anything over the...

i've always been puzzled by the elusive arpeggiator, so i tried to do something with it in fruity loops, but i'm kind of a beginner, and it really didn't work, so if anyone could enlighten me? i know it produces an arpeggio-like pattern based on the notes you feed it with, but how do i do it...

have you guys done it before? does it help? i'm asking because i don't have a gate, and i'd have to buy one if i wanted to do this, since i can't rent one anywhere near my location. so i'd like to hear from people who have done it.
