The EBS Multicomp is within your price range, and I love it for bass. It's a stompbox style compressor that's transparent and excellent at what it's intended to do. Simple design, two knobs and a 3 way toggle. While the available controls may appear overly simplistic on the surface, less is more...

Robert DeLeo was a great suggestion, his lines really complete the other elements of that band with stellar results. I have enjoyed playing a great many of his lines myself over the years. Dirk Lance did the same thing for Incubus. He had a great sound, and I thought he played some interesting...

Not to hijack the thread, but I use a J-Station's spdif out to my Delta 66 for laying down guitar tracks as well, was thinking I was the only one left. :) Some of the models are decent too, though the acoustic ones are certainly weak. Still, it was good of them to include some acoustic and bass...

Hi All, Here's the setup: *P4 2.4G, 1G RAM, Win XP *M-Audio Omni Studio, Delta 66 soundcard *J-Station for guitar - MIDI patch editing, compression, disto, and f/x done using the J-Station, then spdif out directly to Delta 66 *SansAmp RBI for bass - compression added via RBI's f/x loop or in...

Cheap Condenser Mics Hi all, I'm just looking for a cost effective method for recording simple practices and rehearsals. Any suggestions on a cheap condenser mic that isn't too bad? For a cheap recording solution, I'm thinking of the Tascam MF-P01. The recordings don't need to be that...

MIM = Mexican, MIJ = Japanese, MIA = American Fender - Depends on how much you want to spend. I know some like the MIM's, but I tried to find one I liked and never could. Some MIJ's are great, but I think some might be moved to MIM. If you find a decent MIJ, jump on it! They are every bit as...

cool, thanks Gidge!

Hi all, I'm a newbie with recording, and was wondering the best way to do something. I am using the Omni Studio w/Delta 66, Sans Amp DI for bass, SM57 for guitar, and n-track for my software solution. The recordings themselves sound good, I just need to mix them properly. When I record my bass...

I stopped by the site, that seems like it might be a good solution. Looks like ACID is $60 and the RADS library is $50.

Yep

Hi all, I would post this in the drum section, but I'm still a Newbie and know nothing of what methods would be best. I do not require any dance, techno, hip hop, or otherwise. Those sorts of tracks would be of no use to me, I need traditional sounds and rhythms. I would primarily be...

They're stock Ibanez passive humbuckers.

Doh! Wait, I just saw some posts (including yours) regarding Fruity Loops. Is this more along the lines of what I need? Feel free to PM me suggestions on using this solution if that would be better. Thanks! :)

Wow, thanks for all the info guys! :) Gidge you read my mind when you asked about drums, that was going to be my next question when I logged on tonight. At home here, I'll need tracks I can play to, for laying down ideas and such. I'm thinking drum machine? I would like something versatile...

k cool thanks I can probably just use the IBM for any real time recording and use the WD for everything else. I pretty much just use the WD as a data whore anyway lol. :)
