Quick question for anyone with experience with the Floyd Rose Double lokcing tremolo. I found a double fat strat that I am thinking of buying but have NO experience in dealing with the floyd rose locking system. Wondering if it is more of a pain in the ass than anything or if it really helps the...

We just released a new 4 song CD, titled "Pieces". It consists of 4 tracks from separate recording sessions from the past couple of months. What I am really looking for here are comments on structure, melodies, overall feel, etc. Is the song exciting for you to listen to?? or do you lose...

Please check out www.blackfall.com. This website is only a few days old and is our first "offifial" website for the band. Please let me know what you think is good and bad about the site and if it is user friendly!! One guy in the band did all of the design and shit and he is pretty new to it...

Hi, I am wondering if tuning down my electric AND/OR acoustic to D, one whole step down from standard, would have any negative effects on the guitar? My band tunes down a whole step but when i write my own shit I tune back up to standard. Anyone know if this places any un wanted stress on the...

I ran across an ad yesterday online. The guy was selling some recording shit and mentioned he had 2 SM58's and wanted $30 for each of them. I nearly shit, then thought they weren't actually 58's so I emailed and he said they were! So, I booked over during my lunch break knowing that other people...

I recently purchased a mandolin and was wondering how many people on here play. I have played guitar for 10 years and am finding it to be a pretty easy crossover with the exception of a few things here and there. I have been getting chord charts and lessons (scales and shit) from the internet...

Thanks for reading, first of all! I found a vintage Wurly Organ for sale for 100 bones and am wondering if it will work for the band I am in. We are currently using a Wurly Elect. Piano and I think the sounds of the 2 together would be cool on some of our tunes. We use all acoustic instruments...

I recently moved and have an extra walk in closet. Dimensions are 3.5 ft wide by 7-8ft. long. I was thinkin of putting some foam (egg crates are what they are called, I believe) all over the place and creating a vocal booth. My question is: is this really worth it? We, my bandmates and I, have...

Just curious. . .isn't it better to find great mic placement and hardly use any EQ rather than distort(for lack of a better term) the actual sound of the instrument. Mainly talkin about acoustic guits here. I record them a lot and find that I hardly ever feel the need to EQ them. maybe a little...

A buddy of mine has a 12 string Martin acoustic but we play out a lot and the dean markley ("woody"?)pickup sounds like shit. Anyone have luck with something else. We are trying to avoid cutting into the guitar and inserting a pickup and all that shit like a regular acoustic/electric. I have a...

Hey fellas! I have a quick question that has probably been asked a thousand times. I am moving into a new Apt. and the bedroom has a brick back wall. This is where I usually set up my studio and I am wondeirng what I can do to tame the reflections off the wall. It is very loud in there and sound...

I usually double track my vox when I demo a tune because I think it makes the melody that much stronger. BUT, I have also heard people say that it sounds too over done. I, personally, love to double track lead vox. SO FULL and powerful. And when I double track, I try to get them to be exact...

Just curious if anyone has heard of Josh Rouse, a singer/songwriter out of Nashville. I saw him las night here in Los Angeles at LArgo. his new album came out a couple of days ago, called "1972". He is an amazing songwriter IMO and got signed based on a demo of his that got heard. Wondering what...

Just wondering if anyone owns or has used this vocal mic, Audio Technica ATM41a. I own a 58 but wanted to see if this is comparable for live vox. any infor would help!!! thanks the dude
