    Guitar Tuner

    I had great little guitar tuner made by Audio Phones but it doesn't seem to work under Windows 7. Does anyone have a similar Guitar Tuner that works with Windows 7? I've tried googling it but I'm not getting very good stuff. I consider the folks on this site the expert so that's why I'm asking.

    Reaper Latency Setting?

    I've been recording with a USB EMU 404, reaper, and a Tohsiba laptop which is dual core. I noticed that when I recorded bass and electric guitar it was one step behind the drums. I think this is a latency problem. Is there a setting in Reaper that will help ease the latency problems?

So my quesiton is am...

    Mixing Question

    I mixed a song and it seems to be balanced and everything sounds good except that it has sharps sounds and is difficult to listen to after a while. I guess what I"m asking is there someone to slighly dull the master sound......What effect would this be?
