I made a thread like this one a few years ago, but I couldn't find it.

Call me lazy, but.... I'm in this project where we are going to play 20-25 songs just once in front of an audience. Now, this is definitely not the kind of music I'm usually listening to or have ever played before or even enjoy listening to, really, but it's good stage practice. Some of the...

I just found a custom one-of-a-kind guitar being sold locally. The luthier who made this has made guitars for some pretty well-known people. This one was made for a relatively famous guitarist in Norway who has sadly passed away. Look at this puppy: I am in love. Tele(ish) body and Les Paul...

My cousin and I had a recording session the other day and figured we'd record something we both like. He did the vocals and I did the rest. Even though I've got a drum set, these drums are programmed as I can't make that much noise since I live in an apartment. For what it's worth...

I'm mixing in a pretty small room, but it's well treated with bass traps (tri-traps and 244 traps) in the corners and 242 traps at reflection points. I'm using the Sonodyne SM100AK monitors along with a KRK 10" subwoofer (which I barely have any volume on). So here's the problem: When I do a...

I remember years ago the first time I ever heard of a Moogerfooger. First thing that came to mind was that the name must derive from "motherfucker" and that it was a funny play on words. Then I realized the Moogerfooger is actually a quite serious thing. They are top notch effects pedals. Then...

Just received a Palmer Pedalbay 50S. It's the smallest one and comes with a neat bag. It has hooks underneath it for strapping the power supply with elastic bands. BUT the board is not even close to tall enough to accomodate any power supply that I know of, and certainly not my T-Rex Fuel Tank...

I'm just going to cut straight to the chase. The amp is a Heritage Victory. They are no longer made and the documentation is scarce to say the least. A manual exists but it contains no technical information at all. The more I turn up the reverb on my amp, the more it hisses (well, it's not a...

I've got two powerstrips w/ switches attached to a rack. One for guitar stuff (pedal board, amps) and one for studio stuff (monitors, interface, computer, HD etc). I usually turn the interface, external HD and monitors off manually, but do I really need to? Could I just flip the (studio stuff...

I've just got seriously into treating my room as it has finally freed up for dedicated use. Now, the room is on the small side: Length: 11,6 feet Width: 9,3 feet Height: 7,1 feet I've got these Sonodyne SM100AK monitors. They're 6.5". They sound great, but are lacking below 100hz. So I'm...

I would like to transfer some of the projects I've started on the laptop to my recently aquired DAW computer. I suppose I need to transfer the peak-files, the wavs and the project files from the "Reaper Media" folder, but how do I know which files goes with which project? There are about 2800...

Right now people are wearing traditional clothing, cheering "hurrah!" and waving Norwegian flags almost in a robotic manner. Here I am, enjoying a temporarily neighbor-free zone by cranking my guitar amp to ear-bleeding levels. There's just no better way to celebrate!

I'm renting this place and probably won't stay here for years, so I need to install a 242 panel I've got from GIK in the ceiling without using screws. Any ideas? I've tried double layered tape, but it doesn't stick well to the panels.

I've heard many people track bass direct. Do you? If you do, do you use any plugins? If not, how do you mic your amp? I'm not asking what's best. I'm asking what you prefer and why.

I was wondering if there are any good reasons (except price) for not using 4" panels for first reflection points and cloud. I see most panels labeled "acoustic panels" are 2", but wouldn't full range absorption be preferable? The only reason I can imagine is the waves hitting first reflection...

I figured I want a computer to use for recording music and nothing else. No internet, no nothing except Reaper, audio interface drivers and plugins. If I need something I guess I could just download it on the main computer and transfer it on a USB stick. Will probably get an external hard drive...

Probably a stupid question, but... I've heard mixers in the past only had a choice between hard right, center and hard left. Why didn't they just duplicate a track, have one panned right and one panned left, then adjust the faders to where they wanted the track panned? I'm sure copying a tape...

It's time to get that room treated. First of all, I know it would be cheaper to build acoustic panels myself. Nevertheless I've decided to buy some panels instead. At this point I'm not going to need very good treatment below 50Hz as my monitors (Sonodyne SM100AK) do not carry a lot below that...

I'm going to build a relatively large ISO box so I can use my amp without disturbing the neighbors. I figured I was going to place a Heritage Victory combo inside of it, but soon realized that it would generate too much heat. I've got this AC30 that I want to keep and figured that maybe I could...

Simple but important question: Is it harmful to my AC4C1 (4 watts tube amp) just turning the power strip it is connected to off instead of actually switching the amp off? The amp doesn't have a standby switch. Does just disconnecting the power do anything else than the on/off switch does? If it...
