Hey everybody. You guys have helped me with several purchases before....probably unbeknownst to most of you. I'd like to pick your brains once more to help me with a birthday gift. I'll try to give as many relevant facts as I can. I want to buy my daughter a nice vocal mic. She sings in...

I'd like some of your opinions on a decent, fairly cheap bass for recording country-folk-rock sorta music. Not really heavy stuff. Mostly acoustic guitar driven. Probably will DI through an RNP or V-amp. What about this Fender? Looks like a fair deal...

Musicians Friend has these on sale in the back pages of the latest issue for $299. I got my SP8Bs for that and it was a pretty good deal, I think. Nice monitors...for cheap.

I am the dubiously proud owner of a new D15 that I ordered from Sweetwater. I went against my better judgment in ordering a guitar without playing it, but I took a chance on Martin QC and on Sweetwater's "40 point check." I had previously played a D15 at a local store that sounded fine and...

Ok guys, I've finally had enough. I've been unable to get the 1884 to work with Sonar 3.1.1. Last night I uninstalled Sonar and the 1884 software, followed the instructions for a clean Windows install from the Tascam site, then reinstalled Sonar and then tried to reinstall the 1884...

If you are running Windows XP with an ATI graphics card ( I have the Radeon 9600 XT, unfortunately ) and you are considering trying the music optimization tweaks found on some of the sites recommended here and elsewhere: AVOID this tweak unless you have a good backup of your drive: Systems /...

I've been trying to set up my PC for Sonar music production. I'm setting up two partitions with XP on them so I can separate my internet useage from my music software. Also been studying lots of websites learning the various tweaks that people are doing to XP for music production. I've...

I ordered Partition Magic 8.0 so I can set up a partion for my music software and one for my internet junk. If I get the full version of XP (OEM). will I be able to install it to more than one partition or will I have to have two different OS's? I know that they sometimes limit these things...

I'm having a heck of a time figuring out where to place the components of my new PC. I want the tower out of the room to get rid of the fan/drive noise. ( Got wireless mouse and keyboard. ) Probably going to get the Tascam 1884 or the Yamaha 01X. So - I've ordered a 14' firewire cable and...

Got a barely used Presonus Blue Tube preamp and Blue Max compresser with the rack adapter already on. Letting them go for a mere $160 U. S. Where you gonna beat a deal like that? Send me a money order.

Hey guys. A quick question if I may. I'm going to give PC recording a shot after a few years with a Korg D8. Gonna get a 2.8 P4 and a control surface. I've about narrowed my software purchase to Sonar. Is the version with the Lexicon Pantheon reverb and eq + some other junk worth the 200...

Well, after recording on an old D8 for several years now, I decided to upgrade. I was going to get myself a Korg D16XD but since I need a computer at home anyway, I decided to take the plunge and try some PC recording instead. I am having a local clone maker build me a PC....2.8 ghz, 1 gig...

There's a Senn... 441 U3 on EBay for $299 *buy now*...$20 shipping..$12 insurance. What does the U3 signify? Is this a pretty good deal for this mic? It has some sort of high eq boost (presence) switch on it but it doesn't say anything about a low cut. I'm about to spring for either a 441...

Just got a pair of Sennheiser 280s for tracking and compared them last night to the 7506s. I was kinda expecting them to be better than the Sonys, but...... to my ears, the Sonys had more detail. The bass and the highs were more clearly defined ( I'm not talking about the hype but about...

I've got a chance to buy an old well-kept Kustom K-88 electric piano for $75-100. ( Haven't seen it yet. ) Anybody ever played or heard one of these puppies? I think they were made from 1981-1984. I know they were one-trick ponies but if they have a pretty good piano sound, I might snatch it...

Well, I think I've about narrowed my preamp search down to these: RNP/RNC with the rack face and a Sytek MPX4a. Do you think these two ought to cover all that a one-man-band with drums can throw at it? I'm still about concerned about the noise level for the RNP. The FMR guy, Mr. McQuilken...

Well, I just took the plunge and ordered an NTK from Bayview Pro Audio. $499 with the shockmount. I hope this thing lives up to its reputation. Ouch. 500 bills for a stupid microphone. This thing is going to make my Blue Tube sound like an Avalon...............isn't it? A question about...

Not long ago someone here was asking about used 8 tracks to buy. A guy in the Korg D8 discussion group at Yahoo has one for sale for $320 + shipping. He claims that it's been in the box most of the time he's owned it. Might be a good chance to pick up a nice recorder. The D8 is a very nice...
