Try an Avalon U5 preamp. You won't be disappointed.

I wonder how many of those they sell every month?

I use a matched pair of NT5s with outstanding results. But I've also had great results with a couple of large condensors.

If you listen to any of Loretta Lynn's latest studio recordings the effect is extremely obvious. Her voice is not what it was when she was young. We shouldn't expect it to be. The tune she did with Jack White (I can't remember the name of the song) is an atrocious example. When you hear it so...

Talk to "Butch" at Bayou Cables. The best cables I've ever found are custom made by him. And they are outstanding quality at a very reasonable price. He has a web site. Check it out!

I love my ME1 Tone Generator. I payed about 500. for it a couple of years ago. I think sweetwater has them cheaper now. I just looked. They're 399.

I don't use click tracks either. I lay down a simple drum track with no fills and also a simple bass part that fits the groove. After that, guitars and other instruments are added. Then I rerecord the drums the way I want with fills etc. and the bass part with any variations. It works for me.

I've also found the guitar FX in the 2488 too noisy for my likes. I use out board stuff with great success. I do love the 2488 though in most other respects.

I spent quite a bit of time checking these out. I was skeptical, as I am with any new product, and eventually bought a pair of these monitors. I have a studio in the loft of my house; it's a nice space, but doing a complete acoustic treatment would be difficult. The room design presents no...

My first suggestion would be to restore the programmable settings to the factory presets. I'm not familiar with the TMK 88, but I have a Studio Logic 880 PRO LS (or whatever the number is) and occasionally it will act up. Since the Fatar keyboards have programmable velocity settings and...

Now you've gone and done it! I was perfectly happy with my stable of guitars and now I must have a Baritone. Beautiful tone.

Regardless of what I've read from some detractors, I have found my Presonus Blue Tube DP's to be more than satisfactory. Very good infact, if one takes the time to learn how to apply them correctly.

From the picture I'm looking at, you lucked out BIG TIME! Easy repair. I would still have a good luthier do the job, but in the end you probably won't even be able to tell. I must admit though, I've never seen one break quite like that.

I grew up playing a grand piano and have never been able to adjust to the variety of electronic keyboards available until I tried the Studio Logic SL 880 Pro. I use a Kurzweil M1 Tone generator and have had not one problem. The Fatar keyboards are the closest thing I have found to a natural...

I second the Line 6 suggestion. I use a Line 6 Spider II 30 watt amp in my studio for guitar direct recording and it sounds great. And it has a built in noise gate on the output stage. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Laminated wood bodies can be found on most imports, but I would not equate that with "plywood". "Plywood" is technically different than "laminate" no matter how many layers you may drill through. But then again, I don't care what wood the body's made of if the guitar plays and sounds great. Call...

I can't believe I'm reading the exact question I have been wanting the answer to since I set up my studio. I have a very nicely set up home studio with a Tascam 2488. I am very capable of playing just about every instrument EXCEPT drums. I have samples and choices galore in my Tascam onboard...

I'm looking for a "quiet small guitar amp (30 watts 1x12 or so) with a line out to record with. My Tech 21 Trademark 60 is a great live amp for gigging but it has too much inherent hiss for my needs. I can record direct into my Tascam 2488, but I also want the option of mic'ing an amp. A...
