Evening gents:) I got out of the LOUD scene (Marshall stacks, etc.) a lot of years ago (with a predictable hearing loss;) and have been content to record into my Cubase for the last while but have been missing some of the room ambiance that headphones do not supply (plus I get invited to jams...

I just installed the 0404 & loaded an MP3 file to check playback. All I got was distorted, low-level sound. No other sound cards are installed, the onboard card is disabled and I updated the drivers. I don't completely understand the Patchmix thing but I managed to find the Restore Defaults &...

I'm rewiring my Strat Wannabee Mark II for the 38th time (hmmmm ... not much wood left to rout) & just want to be sure before the solder flows. Could someone point me to a site or post a pic (I'm pitiful when it comes to schematics) of what-goes-where from the pickup to the DPDT switch? Just a...

Wasn't sure if I had the right department but when I saw the 'Cheap Guitars are Better' thread, I knew dis must be da place :) I'm in the process of rewiring/scraping the rust off of an old Strat wannabe. Its no beauty but neither am I. I tried the 'Quieting the Beast' procedure from...

The other thread is dead so ... ... is it possible to mixdown MIDI tracks and audio tracks to a WAV file? (I am trying to do this in Cubase SX but all I get in the WAV file is the audio tracks) It was suggested to me in another thread that it might be necessary to feed the output of my audio...

Don't know if this fits in this forum but here goes ... I'm an old musician but new to MIDI. Managed to make a few tracks in Fruity Loops 3.4 using sample channels as well as MIDI instruments. Everything was going well (had some trouble making the MIDI channels play but figured that out)...

A buddy of mine has gone all ga-ga over David Eden amps. Whaddya hear about 'em? Whaddya think about 'em?

Dave Wilcox at his best :-) http://www.tbayblues.ca/2005gallery/pages/BF05PJ561_jpg.htm http://www.tbayblues.ca/2005gallery/pages/BF05PJ574_jpg.htm http://www.tbayblues.ca/2005gallery/pages/BF05PJ579_jpg.htm http://www.tbayblues.ca/2005gallery/pages/BF05PJ586_jpg.htm...

Along with 2 hearing aids, I have an old piece of cheap wood I modestly describe as a 'guitar' that a couple of pals of mine want me to start playing in public (again). They are even tempting me with Joe Bonamassa recordings ... telling me I used to sound like him. Fat chance! He can HEAR...

After fighting for a week to my V-AMP 2 talking to my PC (thanks again for the advice guys:), I unplugged it & reconnected everything to my amp. No output (well, there was a bad hum). Sounded like a bad cable so I checked them all individually. All OK. Straight connection to amp OK. I...

I'm an old rocker who still likes to play at home & is poor ... oh yeah, I also drink rum ... so I bought a V-AMP2. Great for my needs BUT I can't get the Design software to interface with the unit (apparently a common problem). This is the 2nd reason I bought the thing for so I'd like to get...

I've been out of the live music scene for a while (life ... mortgage ... wife ... pick 1 ;-) but I still manage to do a bit of home recording on the computer. Lately, an old buddy has been pushing me to come out & jam. The problem is that I don't have any good gear to play with -- a solid...

OK, short story to explain. I have an old No-Name Strat copy ... had to sell my REAL Strat & Les Paul & Marshall (long story ... involves paying a mortgage and a woman ;-) ...that I am trying to coax some life out of. Even though I have been out of the music picture ,as it were, for a while...

Does anyone out there use Amplitube? I'm still new to electronic recording and don't have an amp or a decent guitar (just a Strat copy that I worked on for a while) so I am relying on things like Amplitube to create my tone for me. The presets that came with it are very good but I haven't...

Thought I'd post this here cuz guitar/bass players are smarter than everyone else ;-) As I age; or as the rum sets to working ;-) ...I notice I like to listen to classy music. It's one of those "I don't know art but I know what I like" kind of questions. Here's what I like: ~ muted trumpets...

I am trying to produce some sound effects for use in TV commercials & programs by using Fruity Loops and its synth plugins (Sim-Synth, 3 X OSC, etc.). Being keyboard-challenged (a guitar player ;-), I haven't had much experience with synths but I at least understand the fundamentals...

Anybody have any experience with the freeware soundfont player found here? ... http://www.rgcaudio.com/sfz.htm I installed it and it runs OK in Fruity Loops but when I change the bank or channel setting, nothing happens (it defaults to the first setting in the soundfont loaded and stays there)

I've got a bad case of the pops 'n clicks ever since upgrading my OS to XP Pro. This mainly shows up when I run Fruity Loops Producer--used to run clean when I had Windows ME...the CPU meter doesn't redline so I don't think I'm overtaxing anything. The noise shows up when I set up even a...

OK, I'm well on the way to completing my album, tentatively titled ... Musical Masturbation -- Me PLayin' With Myself :-) ... but I haven't got a bass guitar so I am trying to make up a sample I can feed into Fruity Loops. So far, I have found a good fretless tone that rings out for about 2...

OK, I haven't been around here for a while...I've managed to install Cubase SX 1/01 and a set of KX Project drivers for my Sound Blaster Live! card. (I know, I know...SB sux but it's the best I can afford right now) I also know that my hardware is pretty much bare minimum for multi-tracking and...
