    Acoustic/electric loose jack...

    So the 1/4'' jack on my acoustic/electric (martin DXME if it matters) is loose, almost to the point of coming completely off. The problem is, I have no idea how to hold the nut on the inside in place - so I can tighten the outside one. Anyone have any ideas?

    cant put my finger on it...

    What instrument/effect or combination of things starts off the song "Me And My Gang" by Rascal Flatts? I'm just curious, and for the life of me I can't figure it out. Whatever it is sounds pretty cool.:cool:

    cant get vocals to sit well...

    http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=8699 That's a song (partial) my friend and I are working on right now... The major hangup is that I just don't like the way most of the vocals sit in the mix, mainly my friends parts (chorus). I've tried tweaking 'em every which way I could think...

    FS: Reflexion Filter

    Ive had it for about 2-3 months. Works better than I thought it would, but I'm not gonna lie, I need the $! This is why I'm selling! Like new condition, nothing missing. Asking $200, or you could go buy it in the store for $300! Pics available upon request, but until then you can read more...

    proximity effect....

    What freq. range is it in? I just can't seem to find it on this vocal take I'm working on... I'll probably end up re-tracking it anyway, since it wasn't "golden," but I'd like to have an idea for future reference.

    $700 to spend...

    Just looking for some opinions on what I should spend it on... Here's what I need: A "workhorse" mic for recording at least halfway decent vocals, acoustic, and electric guitar amp. This is most important as mine just took a dump on me. Here's what I'm considering: Monitors. I'll probably...

    Possible purchase??

    Just a quick question... Would you buy a used Mapex Venus series set for 300USD? Mind you, this will be my first set. The only thing that is missing is the hi-hat stand. No other cymbals (except the 2 hi-hats) are included. I have to let the seller know by this weekend, otherwise he's...

    Mixing theory...

    Just curious as to what you guys think the most productive approach to mixing is. The more I read and experiment, I now see why a soloed instrument/voice can't be judged (as far as if it will sit in the mix right). But my main hangup is on the general process itself. (Let's assume you have...

    earbuds...

    I'm just curious as to how such a small speaker can produce the same low range as a much bigger speaker. I thought the general rule of thumb said that as the speaker gets smaller, so does the bass response. :confused: I clearly hear a normal range through them. However, the instant that...

    New guitar or amp???

    So I've decided that I'm going to invest my full tax return check... Into music that is! My only dilemma is that I can't decide exactly what I want to get. However, I do know that it will either be a new electric guitar or a nice tube amp, as I don't really have quality in either aspect. If I...

    vox troubles...

    Here's my latest song idea (well, a clip of it) I've been working on http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=6808 For some reason, I can't get the vocals to sit right. I don't know what is making it so difficult with this one, but I've tried everything I could think of. To me, the...

    Testing frequency response??

    How would you go about testing the "flatness" of a speaker? Would I just be able to play something through it while close mic recording it, and then subtract the mic's frequency curve from the curve of the recording? The reason I ask is because I'm broke as a joke right now, but want to...

    Intern question

    *I dont know if I posted this in the right place, so forgive me if I did.* I just have a quick question regarding interning at a studio. In your opinion, what is the most effective way to "get your foot in the door" so to speak? Quite frankly, I'm unsure of how this process goes. Do I call...

    can someone with monitors...

    ...give me a general synopsis of this rough mix i did last night? its only 35 seconds long, so its not much. it will probably end up being the intro and refrain (i think thats what im trying to say) for this new song im working on. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=2974 BUT i...
