thanks guys, your help is appreciated

I've played in a UK country Band for 17years now and although I aint no Brad Paisley, Im not a bad twanger. The problem is when we're doing our album, it comes to me putting down the lead guitar work and when I listen to it back it sounds sh!te, twangy and very amature (in that order). Is it...

OK so I records my track from my VS1680 through all the various bits n bobs and down into cakewalk as an audio track. Plays back ok too! Now I need to cut this track to CD. 1. What format does the cakewalk track need converting to 2. what software converts it? 3. any special settings I need...

And to get the best tone I'll have to turn it up too!! What a bummer. I'll be best putting the twin with mics in one room and sitting with headphones on in another room?

I have a US strat plus, Fender Twin, shure sm57 & 58's. I ll give it a go.

Using my Roland VS1680 I recorded my country band minus the vocals & lead guitar (me). We put the vocals on after, not a problem but now I've come to record my lead guitar work and if I plug the strat direct into the VS it sounds really harsh and un-natural. I've tried using a Line6 POD v2.0 but...

I will let you know next week. I've just bought one of these and Im gonna play with it this weekend. I hope it'll do the job for me too. fingers crossed

Country is BIG in the UK. Certain areas for example the north east (Newcastle, etc) they have Countyr music on in the local clubs 7 nights a week. There is some good players out there too. Im only 30 but Ive been into country Music for 20 years And Ive been playing it in bands for 17years. Love it!

what does mastering actually involve??

So Ive recorded, mixed and now im ready to send to Minidisc or whatever, Im gonna send the mixed track from my VS1680 through a mixer (to give to overall sound an EQ'ing if it needs it) to a minidisc recorder. question: 1. should i also patch in a quadraverb to add some subtle effect to the...

Using my Roland vs1680, my mate wants to cover some Stereophonics song, but he doesn't have a band, he's just a vocalist. Is there anyway of getting a backing track into the VS1680 on stereo tracks, and let him sing onto a seperate channel and mix the two together???? If so, what type of file...

US Strat Plus '62 re-isusue Marlin Slammer (first guitar ever, 18yr old and still used in my studio) Ovation (cant remember the model???) semi acoustic. Simon & Patrick 12string US Precision Lite Musicman Stingray custom telecaster (made from bits of cheap tele's) Use the strat plus for every...

What is the process for changing my external CD writer ? It is toooooooo slow making backups of my Roland VS1680. Do I need to update the VS1680 or will it just plug in and work? Any ideas of a decent CD writer too?

When I view my HDD status on my V1680 it tells me the following: Formatted: 4.0gb 0: 2.1gb 1: 1.9gb I take it this means I have a partion on here, if so, how do i remove it to make it one big 4.0gb disk??

Which Gibsons are they then? Im gonna try a string change. If it cures my problem have a look on e-bay soon. Theres gonna be a 20 packets of Ernies on there soon!!!

OK, Im fitting my Graphtech saddles tonight, restringing with Ernie Ball 10's and we'll see what happens. Im gigging all weekend so if it's gonna break it will then. If it does my 17 year relationship with my strat will come to an end as I calmly launch it from the van window into the on-coming...

Now if I said I had tried the Graphtech saddles and it broke the same string in the same place, would you say it was the string at fault. Im using Ernies 10's

Oh thank the lord! I thought I was the only one in the world! Theres a couple of options, replace the saddles with graphite ones etc but I want to maintain the Fender look. So I was hoping the vintage saddles don't break the strings as much.

OK, Im reeeeeally P!$$ed off now. I've had my US Strat Plus for 17 years now and recently, say within the last 4 years, I've been going through strings (especially 0.26 D string) at a rate of every other gig. Sometimes I'll string it completely on the Monday, gig on the Wednesday, gig on the...

Has anyone tried that reflective paint to see if it reflects the sound off the walls?? ;)
