Howdy No long introduction, and I know that there are reasons why cheap gear is cheap... but nevertheless: Which speakers (even if it's logitech) under say 100 bucks really aren't that bad for mixing, i.e. will give you a somewhat objective picture of what's going on in your mix? And while...

Hi there Is there a quick, easy and cheap way to get the signals of an average e-drumpad to the PC, resp. turn these signals into midi? I just saw the Akai I/O Trigger, which seems to be doing exactly this... and then a ton more that I don't need, so it's overkill. I was also looking into...

Hi folks This is a poll about guitar-tones. I posted this in another forum which is dedicated to a piece of equipment used in some of the tracks, and I got the feeling it was all a bit biased. The track is always the same and so are bass, guitar on the right hand side and drums. Only the...

Hi all I'll keep it short: - Are all cheaper (<100 USD) delay stomp-boxes digital? - Is your main guitar-signal also converted if you use it in a serial loop, or are they parallel "inside"? - Any buying suggestions? Doesn't have to be super-fancy, just shouldn't degrade the sound. Thanks &...

Has anyone got one and would be willing to record a couple of clips? I'd really like to hear some "pure" amp sounds, no FX. Something JCM800'ish, a Fender and a Plexi. These would be the three sounds I'm most interested in. And play soft & hard and play with the guitar's volume-knob... that'd...

Hi all Has anyone ever made a decent mix by adjusting only levels and panning? No EQ, no compression, not even reverb? And I'm not talking about a synthesizer-arrangment or such like. ;) It'd be also quite interesting to hear such a mix (basically the raw recordings arranged in the aural...

Hi all Didn't really know where to put this... I'm looking for a realistic, fat sounding in-helicopter sound-sample and some radio dispatch would be fine too (something along the lines of "approaching target"). Do you know a website where I could find things like this? The freer the better...

Hi there Ok, title says most of it. To me it seems it's still a bit of a ghost, but maybe someone has tested it, and my main question is: How does it compare to the V-Amp 2? I mean soundwise... I know the specs. Are the 28 "improved" amp-models really better than before? And which 4 of the...

Hi folks I'm looking for an affordable (rather on the cheap end) dynamic vocal mik. I know, best thing would be to try out a bunch of them - but it's just no option for me. My voice sounds a bit like Jon Bon Jovi in the low register and turns into Axl Rose in the highs... if that's of any help...

Just out of curiosity: has anyone tried this? something like a tubescreamer into a pod or whatever? What happened? Are modelers generally built to also handle such things, or will they just clip or compress the signal to death before it even reaches the pre?

Hi folks Just made a clip with 6 samples of the same riff, played with the same guitar thru 6 different setups. I'm not saying they sound great (although I think one or two do), and my timing is a bit sloppy lately, but I wonder what you guys think is each sample played thru. Have a guess...

Hi there Imagine you have a setup that easily gives you a decent "modern" distortion sound - think old to not so old Van Halen. But now you'd want something that sounds "pre-Eddie" - think Hendrix. I'm thinking of something that sounds really loaded but less "tight" and fuzzier (not in the...

Hey guys, I need some advice... maybe more from the old-skool players who use a sweep here and there than from the speed maniacs - but let's see. The technical aspect of sweeping is one thing, and although I'm still not able to pull them off blazing fast, this time it's the other aspect...

Hi folks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfqjE6Zockg&feature=related What do you hear is on the vocal track here? I think it's heavy compression and a tad of distortion/overdrive. Do you know any plugs (the free-er, the better :p ) that would give me a nice distortion for vocal tracks...

Hi all Lately I haven't been playing much, and now I have to find out that I'm even less fluid than I used to be... and slower, somehow. Not much, but I am. On the other hand I've always wanted to be able to play solos that are interesting despite the lack of lightning fast licks anyway... but...
