So I just got an ENGL E650 head (100w), and a 4x12 cab with Greenbacks on it ( 25w each, total of 100w). Now i'm being told that I have no headroom at all, and some people say it's good 'cause it'll sound fuller, other people are saying that i should get another cab so that I have 100w headroom...

So I just bought my first real amp, after playing low end Marshalls MG's and stuff like that, I just got myself an ENGL E650 Ritchie Blackmore Signature head, and an Avatar G412 Vintage cab with 4 Celestion Greenbacks on it :D I gotta say that I'm really impressed by the difference that it...

I bought a used Yamaha CS1X off EBay, I turn it on and it keeps going back to the "Welcome to CS1X" screen, that screen slides in over and over non-stop. Sometimes I do manage to dial in a patch but as soon as I press a key it starts all over again. Anybody knows how can I solve this?

Anybody can explain me the difference between an arranger keyboard and a regular synth? and arranger would be more like a workstation right?

I'm looking info on Ed Chaplan, Chaplin or Chaplain, not sure how it's spelled. I know he is 69ys old and works on the field. I've been told he has done some big jobs but not really sure which ones. He may be a legend at the level of Eddie Kramer but I don't know, if anybody can tell something...

I have to buy a mic preamp to record live drums, I can use up to 8 inputs at once and my doubt was to get an Octane or 4 DMP-3's, or any other better around those 600 bucks. As far as mics I will use 2 Rode NT1 for OH, AKG D112 for bass drum, and a couple of SM57's for snare and toms, all to a...

Is it possible to load into Pro Tools a project that has been recorded using Cubase SX 2?? If so, how? is there any converter? The thing is, me and my band will start recording our album using Cubase SX 2, but it will be mixed by somebody in a big studio in another city and he'll want to use...

Is there any way to load and mix in Pro Tools a project that's been recorded in Cubase SX 2???? If so, how? Is there any converter? Thanx

I'm recording with Cubase SX 2, I have drum tracks exported to regular wav files with no problem, but when I started to record the rest of the instruments they all seem to be late on playback and I have to adjust the "delay" control on the top left of the screen on the track properties. The...

I know there's not a right or wrong way of doing it and it all depends on the type of sound one's going for, but can someone give me a good place to start?? I have no clue... I'm mixing rock, in the style of Kansas, Boston, Styx, etc...

What would be the difference between a matching pair of condenser mics and a non matching pair? why can't I use a non matching pair to record OH drums in stereo? (just any two of the same model)

I'm using Cubase VST32, I record at 48.800 but everytime I minimize Cubase to go to another program for a sec, I go back to cubase and the sample rate has changed to 41.100, sometimes not even using another program. During playback everything kind of freezes and when it gets back the sample rate...

Now my band has decided that we will record the album ourselves (notice I say recording, not mixing, we will actually have a professional engineer mixing it and then send it to a mastering house), basicaly we will do all the tracking parts, and so far I am the only band member who has a clue...

Where's the automation button??? how do I do to turn on an effect on one part of the song only without having to put it to the entire track?? Please help, thanks!

What is the difference between inserts and sends?? will an effect sound different if I put it through one instead of the other? which are usuallly put through inserts and which through sends? I'm still pretty new about mixing and would appreciate some help.
