    Happy Happy Q-Baby!

    Happy Boithday you gorgeous old man! :D Went to Cattleman's tonight to eat some dead cows, and my phone started playin' "Tighten Up". I got this Archie Bell tune reserved to two special occasions: my older brother's b-day and yours. So, I ordered myself a double Makers and a Dos Equis, and...

Don't know if ya like Dos Equis or not, but I've got 12 of 'em. Sit down and have a beer with me. Heard ya got locked down for some trumped up...

    Bubinga or Maple?

    Richer tone? More resonance? I'm ditching the birch Mapex kit. The Ddrums exotic bubinga is pretty damn sexy, but I haven't played them yet. Worth the extra coin?

    Any Favorite Acoustics?

    I'm starting to look for something I probly don't deserve in the $1500-$2000 range. Martin, Taylor, Gibson. I'm leaning towards a cutaway with a pickup.

    Gonna buy me an Amp

    Been using a Marshall Valvestate 2X12. Tube pre/SS power side. Not quite as "tubular" as I would like...clean or fuzz-wise. I've just started shopping for a replacement that will never gig, and will just live out it's life down in my music room for recording. A 100 watt half stack is obvious...

    Cymbal Shopping

    Time to toss the cheapie set of ZBT's. Hell, it was time to toss 'em the day I got them! :D Anyway...I like a brighter, sizzly sound. Variety of quick and slower decay on crashes. I like a larger, more musical ride that doesn't sustain forever. I like hats that are thin and crisp sounding...

    Fire Studio and Win7

    So I get Win7 all set up only to find that the only driver package available is a beta version and does not include a control panel. Am I missing something, or are we all still waiting for Presonus to finalize win7 support?

    Guitars with Floating Bridge

    Well, that's how I'll refer to it until I know the correct terminology. Imagine my surprise when I cut the stock strings off my new ES-175, and da friggin' bridge comes off in my hand! :D Okay, so I go to stick new strings on it, and I get ta thinkin'.....where exactly do I want to position the...

    Rack FX or plugins?

    Just got a presonus fire studio project up and running. Tinkering with reaper, but not terribly excited about the included effects. Any thoughts about the viability of hardware fx (tc helicon, etc) vs plugins?

    Pickguard for Epi ES-175

    I want to replace the stock pickguard, but the closet listing I'm seeing if for the Casino. Are these the same fit? :confused:

    Best clean, crisp snares these days?

    Snare wires. Who's got some good ones that aren't all over the place? Before I dump this Mapex, I'll take one last shot at trying to tighten it up.

    Okay...I don't get it.

    Just hooking up a new presonus fire studio project. Plugged an audix pl33 kick mic into input 1. It works. Plugged into 3. Works fine. Plugged an sm58 into input 3. Nothing. :eek: Plugged it into input 1, and it works. Inputs 1 & 2 are mic/inst. All the rest are mic/line. :confused: I've...

    Using an XLR "Y" on over-heads

    I'm recording 6 drums, 4 cymbals and hats. With 8 inputs to work with, I'm wondering about the feasability of using a "Y" to throw a 9th mic between hats and crash. My little diagram shows the existing over-heads in black, with the proposed mic in red, which would be "Y'd" to the one next to...

    Strings for Epi ES-175

    This was my choice for a "big fat jazz style" guitar. Cheap, but gorgeous. With the default strings it sounds a bit more "toyish" and tinny than I would have thought. Is there a set of strings that might fatten this thing up some? Muttley recommended some D'addarios for my Takamine, and they...

    Big Fat Snare

    I'm going in search of a new snare. I've grown tired of the same old, high pitched snappers. I've tried a few metal drums, along with maple and burch shells. I've swapped between clear, coated, double ply, and even a hydraulic head. I think I'm gonna bypass the 6 1/4" pieces and go straight to...

    Reaper and PreSonus FireStudio Project Factory

    Do these play nicely together? I hope so, I just looked at Reaper and it looks pretty straight forward.

    Big Sexy Jazz Guitar

    Ant $300-$400 recommendations? I think the Artcores are ugly. I kinda dig the Jay Tursers and Konas, but don't know anything about them. If I had the bucks, I'd grab a Gibson Brydland like Nugent's.
