    Picking up radio signals.

    I live in a house built in 1910's, and the wiring isn't great. I keep on picking up radio signals on my guitar/effect/amp, and i didn't mind it for some tracks, but now my entire album has some radio signals. I have a stupid Signal Flex power supply for my effects and i've been blaming it for...

    What freakin' pre?

    I've been researching and planing and trying things out and i have settled on an sm7 and a DBX 160 for vocals... and some sort of pre. I have nuendo 3 and a presonus firepod. I want something with a lot of tube flavor and a very warm sound and as many options as possible. Also, i want it to be...

    I need new mics.

    So I have 2 Oktava mk012's, and 4 SM57, a Presonus firepod, and Nuendo 3. I have been doing vocals with an SM57, and that worked for the thicker, wall-of-sound songs. When I have a bit of a minimalist song, the SM-57 sounds muddy and cheap for vocals. So, I tried recording vocals in stereo with...

    i want a spring reverb and compressor.

    The only one I've had my eye on was Furman RV-1 for reverb, and that seems to be mostly a guitar effect. I want a vocal tone like the Holies or Simon and Garfunkel had. I'm just not too pleased with digital reverb, and I want a really springy sound. So, I’m open for suggestions. It needs to be...

    Has anyone tried a Gretsch Catalina Club?

    First of all I don't really play drums. I was wanting to buy a drum set to learn a little more and then record. Anyway, all i know is they are very small, which i think i like. I've heard some incredible sounding small kits. I'll mostly be adding onto a drum machine and it will be used only in...

    So I'm modding another guitar

    I have a '76 Gretsch 7600 solidbody, which i really like other than the electronics are really stupid (no master tone only a tone switch) and the bridge pickup has no output while the neck has a ton. I like thin sounds, but these are way too thin to play live in my band, being the only...

    Micro Frets guitars

    Are any of you fans of them? There were only 2,500 made between 1960 and 1975-ish. They are probably the best guitars ever made. (in my oppinion) and my opinion is right. Anyone know a place to get a replacement adjustable nut for bass guitar? Or maybe pickups?

    Hard Drive Change/ Nuendo 2.2 Problems.

    I originally had a 30 gig hard drive. I transfered all the nuendo files onto a new 160 gig hard drive. All the songs worked fine on the old hard drive, but now the songs skip like crazy. Task manager says the CPU and RAM usage is fine, but on nuendo, the CPU usage bar hits max. When it hits the...

    Is this Odd? (Acoustic Guitar)

    Ok, I've never tried recording a acoustic guitar. I think i got extremely good results. I used two SM57's and two Oktava Mk-012's. One SM57 and one Oktava Mk-012 aimed just below the sound hole. One SM57 and one Oktava Mk-012 aimed at the 12th fret. I compressed the the Oktavas with a boost in...
