So, let's say one has a bright S/C guitar, say a Tele or Strat. How would one set up the rig/effects for some twangy country licks? Clean into a clean amp by itself just sounds like a standard S/C clean...

When I have the recording control open, it's default "checked" input is the mic. I want it to be line in, so I check it everytime I start recording. On my old machine (ME) it would stay checked until I reset the computer. On my new one (XP) I set it, switch to Cakewalk and it's fine. Then if...

Would you go with a Mexican P-Bass with new p/u, bridge and electronics or an AMerican P-Bass stock? Or is there another bass that plays, sounds and looks similar that would be a better choice?

I *may* get a pretty nice Ampeg 8x10 for $200. What amp would you use to drive it? I play a wide range of styles from classic rock to metal to punk and blues. How do the Hartke Heads treat you guys? (I'd need to keep the price relatively low, either buying used to inexpensively new...

How do I apply a filter across many repititions of a loop? I.e. a filter that's LPF modulated that repeats after 2 or 3 loops. If there's a better forum, let me know.

I just got a new computer, and it (obviously) has Win XP. Are there any compatibility issues? Can I install it and expect it to work?

How would I go about doing this? I like the M Audio Delta 44 for recording. Seems to get good reviews and it's within my price range. I also like watch DVDs on my computer and would like a 5.1 Dolby Digital equipped card. Can I easily install 2 PCI soundcards on a Windows XP machine? How...

Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Sir Psycho Sexy" I know it's probably a Strat, but what effect is on there? (Specifically during the chorus and verses when he's just hitting chord stabs... not the wah part) Is it a chorus? Flange? Phase? What are some estimated settings? Thanks :)

Ok, let me first start by describing my situation. I'm in a band, we play gigs and like to record. We've recorded on Cakewalk with some nice results using whatever collection of mics (nicest being an SM-58) through a 4 track as a mixer and into a stock computer soundcard. I had a Bellari tube...

I'm looking to upgrade my soundcard from the stock one in my computer now. I'm thinking mid-range here, I don't need (nor can I afford ;)) a $1000 card. Do any come with XLR inputs? The ability to record 4 tracks simultaneously would be great. What are some brands/models to look at? Sorry...

I have a Shure SM-58, Bellairi (? - $100) single channel tube pre-amp and a two channel compressor. (It's the one that's blue and has a rotary knob for presets, vocals, percs, strings, guitars, etc... around $150) Should I be able to get a decent vocal track out of this? If so, then I have...

I'm running CW9 on a ~500MHz PII. The 8gig hard drive is about 45% full. Wneh recording the first track (drums) everything is fine. Then, while recording susequent tracks, it begins to jump and skip. The more tracks are added, the worse/mor frequent it gets. I will be defragging tomorrow...

On the track my band recorded, the vocals sound like they are not a part of the mix. Other than backing them off and encouraging the singer to stay in tune ;) what else can be done? We will be recording this week at my house and I'd like to be able to have his vocals blend really well like...

What gives a mix that glossified sound? Is it heavy compression across the tracks? I'm recording my rock/punk band on Cakewalk over the next few days, and when I mix down, I'd like to give it a sheen instead of the typical raw demo sound. Any suggestions? For example, what's the difference...
