Hey Kids You know Ive been playing guitar for a while now. Back in high school I started a band and we went strait to learning how to play cover tunes. Never really took the time to figure out what the hell i was doing. That was fifteen years ago. So after not playing for about eight years, I...

I've been spending way to much time learning songs again and not enough time being creative. After a few sessions with my singer we realized that years ago we used to tune down a half step. This really helped him out, as far as saving his voice. Now here is the problem, I know how to tune down...

I would like to listen to more music here at the Mixing Clinic, but i have been having problems. I open the song and my Real Player opens up, it starts to play the song after it loads , then every 10 or 15 seconds it stops and say"Buffering, Net Congestion". Then its starts playing again...

Anyone here familar with this unit? I have a VF-1 that I use for direct recording, but im not all that thrilled with the way it sounds through my amp. Plus you have to go back and reset the unit to go from live to direct recording. I have seen a few Roland GP-8 rack mount processors with midi...

is a song by Jackal thats is supposed to be about a rooster. Now we all know the intention of the lyrics to this song. Think of other songs with double meanings or misleading lyrics. Van Halen, "Finish what you started" is about blowjobs

Hey guys, I'm interested to hear how you guys have been recording your drums? My biggest problem is laying down drum tracks. I have A DR550 mkii that sounds pretty good. But dammit! this whole thing with programing in a song bites. Once you program your basic pattern you have to program in...

I just wanted to say how happy I am with G&L Guitars even though I dont even have my axe yet. I order it about four weeks ago and at the time the dealer told me it would take about three weeks to get here. Well that didnt happen. Yesterday I get a call at my office directly from a G&L marketing...

Hey Guys, I have a Boss VF-1 that I use for recording. I really like the sounds that I get. I'm think about starting to do some live stuff again with some former bandm mates. My question is, the VF-1 manual says that the Roland FC-200 foot controller is compatible with my unit. Now these...

I turned on my FD-8 today and after it recognized the Zip 250 the screen read... ATA BUS C And it will not do anything! So I called Fostex USA and was on hold for twenty minutes. Then gave up. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks Jimmy

I kind of started this debate in my "Wolfgang" post. Here's the deal: I have my dream guitar in mind. It's a natural finished strat with two single coils and a humbucker, maple fret board and black pickguard and knobs. I can get either a G&L S-500 made to my specs or a Fender Amercian Deluxe...

Does anyone know if I can use a plain old footswitch, say from my amp to use as a punch in/punch out switch for my FD-8? It takes a 1/4 inch mono plug. I know about the auto punch features of my unit. I just thought this would easier in some situations.

Hey guys, I'm going to replace my Mexican Strat with a better built, better quality guitar. Dont get me wrong I like it alot but I still miss the quailty of a good old American made axe. So I'm at the music store looking around and this sunburst Wolfgang by Peavey jumps out at me. This is a...

I have decided to mix down to Hi Fi VCR after much thought and reading about it back on the home page. Also a friend of mine who cut a country album a few years ago told me that they actually mixed down to VCR in the studio he was in. Mostly because of cost issue from 2 inch tape. Anyway. I...

I have been mixing down from my FD-8 to cassete with my old SCOTT tape deck. I want to get my tape deck back with my stereo and have a seperate one for in the studio room. Then I could listen to a mix on the stereo itstead of running out to the car. My question is: I have been searching e-bay...

Hey Kids! I posted this in the Fostex Forum but had no response. I guess maybe that forum is not visited that often. Anyway. My Fostex FD-8 has two effects sends(1 and 2) it also has two effects returns(L&R 1 and L&R 2). Its seems to me that the sends are mono. Could this be? How how can I...

Any one else have a FD-8? If so , why does the unit have what seems to be a mono effects send and a stereo(or left and Right) returns? When I hook up my effects unit and run back through my FD-8 I loose the stereo effect. What I'm saying is that when I turn up the effects return the tracks start...

Well, I mixed my first song yesterday. Ran out to my car, threw in the cassette and listened to it. Although the mixed needed some fixing I thought I had done pretty good. So whats up with mixing to VHS? Does it sound that much better? I hope someday to get a CD burner to go with my Fostex...

Hey Guys, Anybody tried out the new Boss VF-1? I just picked one up and I'm really impressed with it! It's a multi effects processor with, Amp simulation for guitar and bass, compressor, mike simulation, tuner and etc.. The factory presets alone are worth the money. Plus you can make your own...
