There's always a few saying the new Mule sucks. But they are wrong.

Mule is the best live band out there today. But I would say that, wouldn't I? Really- if you like 70's hard rock, check them out, especially their last two albums: Deja Voodoo and High and Mighty. Great songwriting, vocals, and of course incredible guitar tones. And their live shows do get...

He's still with Tower of Power. All he ever did with the Mule was record a song for the Deep End albums. Along with MANY other great bassists. The new bass player in the Mule is Andy Hess, who has played with Scofield and the Black Crowes, among others. Steve Z.

I hear ya, I've got a couple of old Yamahas with the small keys that are actual synths- you can change the sound parameters via some sliders. Those things were fun to record with many years ago when I had my first 4-track. The hiss level was pretty atrocious but the sounds were not that bad. And...

Looking for some advice on using a sampler. What I'd like to try is using a stand-alone sampler to make some drum loops. Route my live drums sub-mix into a sampler and play for a few minutes, then make a drum track using the few measures that I actually play well. I don't use a computer to...

Well I love my Juno-D. I went to see the NEWCARS Friday night and Greg Hawkes was using a Juno-D as his MAIN keyboard. This guy is probably a millionaire with a warehouse full of vintage synths, and there it was, a 600 dollar Juno-D front and center. He had a MiniKorg above the Juno that he...

I'm mainly a guitar player, and my friends and I often discuss the great and/or valuable guitars we had in the past that we sold or traded away, and we are kicking ourselves now. Like my MINT 68 Strat that I bought when I graduated from HS in 1982. Traded it for a BC Rich Eagle. Seemed fair at...

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Yamaha-PSRE403-61Key-Portable-Keyboard?sku=707463 Take a look at this one for 200 bucks. Can't go wrong for that price.

Well I did notice that with this keyboard you can actually get two different sounds from some of the patches depending on how hard you hit the keys. There is a jazz scat vocal patch that says two different words depending on how hard you press. That is pretty cool.

Don't need either one. Don't even know what aftertouch is!! :)

Well I picked this thing up on Monday and it is a blast!! 600 + tones and a ton of effects and variable parameters to warp. It is pretty cheaply built, but like I posted, it won't go anywhere but in my studio, so it should hold up. I don't know how much more you could reasonably expect to get...

Hi, does anyone here own one of these? I'm going to pick one up.It will be used to sweeten tracks in my home studio.It will never be used to gig. Any real pros or cons with this one? Thanks- Steve Z.

I don't know about under-rated, he gets a lot of respect and has sold BAZILLIONS of records.He really rocks out with the finger picking style playing. But definitely one of my favorite players.Watch the Fleetwood Mac "The Dance" DVD the two songs where he plays solo on a nylon string electric...

You're in Texas, right? Do you know Monte Montgomery? I wonder what he uses in that Alvarez for amplification? I love his tone and playing style. One of the best ever for my money. Do you consider his tone too harsh? I know it's not a real traditional acoustic sound, but he gets tons of volume...

Hey Chris- actually yer post WAS pretty funny when taken in proper context! But I was ready to battle with whoever was actin' that "high and mighty"!! And arrogant, an attorney? It's unprecedented! :) This is a cool place. I've learned a LOT over in the Analog Only forum. I'm pretty much...

Nice- at least you didn't get all personal and insulting. I have played a Variax acoustic at GC. Don't know which model. It sounded good, but a bit "digitally" for my taste. I suppose it's easy to get a good sound for your live gigs. I guess my biggest complaint with anything that "models" is...

Well- the guy I thought it was had a bio on his webpage that was almost as ego-driven as this guy.Honest mistake. Steve Z.

WHO IS this guy. Who cares? Not me. And if you want to get AS FAR FROM THE SOUL OF THE MUSIC AS POSSIBLE, get a Variax acoustic. Might as well be playing a keyboard. Strum that digital geegaw, boy!! YEEHAWWW!!!!! OH,yeah, but it sounds good.............

Goldenvoice- I had the same problem with my 388 when I bought it. Track 1 was out, or so it seemed. I just gave the head a DAMN GOOD cleaning, and the track magically re-appeared. It happened one other time since then, and I found that running the tape in fast-forward, while pushing the tape up...
