Hey Folks, Okay, here's the dilly-o. I'm getting what I'm guessing is clipping on the electric guitar track I'm trying to record. 1. I've tried two different mics (57 and V67G), cables and recording channels on my recorder, but am getting the same clickity clackity scratching popping sound...

Okay, we all know the 57 is solid on lots of applications. But is there another good, budget, all-around mic that can fill the same rolls for about the same price? Am I crazy to ask this? I guess everyone's looking for that mic that can go from vocals to toms to snare to kick to overheads to...

Hey folks. I wanted to share something that seems to have helped my tinnitus a great deal. I say tinnitus because I seem to have had the symptoms for several years (i.e. ringing/hissing ears and ear fatigue), though it's been somewhat mild and I've never actually gotten my hearing checked. I'm...

Hey folks, I need a soundcard and I see the M-Audio Delta 410 is popular and at a great price. But I want to make sure my rig is compatible, so here goes.... --I have an AMD 1.6 gig processor with 512 mgs of ram --My chipset is the VIA Apollo --I'm recording via my Fostex MR-8 --My...

Hiya folks, I was curious how far people had pushed their Tube Mps as far as the number of tracks recorded for a song. I've been fooling around with mine and notice a little noise (sure I'm not alone). Just curious who's really pushed this bad boy and how noisy did your song get. Obviously, I...

Hey guys, I've got a handful of 57s and 58s, but I need a few more CHEAP mics for practice. Please understand, I'm not looking for much. I've heard all the jokes about the Starpower mics, etc. I'm just looking for three functional mics which will actually work without being too awful. I'm...

Just got the new Tape Op (Awesome as always! Thanks Larry Crane and staff!) and there's an ad for an MXL 2001 and a 603 MSRP'd at $200. I know about the great reputation of bang for buck on the 603 and others, but have found no feedback on the 2001. Anybody know anything? Rock on-Stinky

Hey folks, Just picked up my Seasound Solo Ex from layaway at Guitar Satan. The hitch is, there's no boxes, literature or drivers. I have the module/interface, one cable and the sound card. Does anyone know what I'm missing (if anything) besides he provided copy of Cubasis and the drivers? I...

I came across a couple of microphones I haven't seen before (no surprise) and was wondering if anyone knew anything about them. One is an EV 635A. The other is an AKG D190E. They look like little vocal mics, like a shorter version of a Shure SM81. Anyone know anything about these...

Okay, the baseball part is kind of a sideline comment. Has anyone had any experience or heard any info. on the APEX 430 large diaphragm mic? A buddy of mine got an Art Tube MP, the Apex 430 mic and nifty shock mount at MARS for $200 (But now they're out and I can't find it on the...

I found a Fender guitar amp the other day. I would swear it said it said "London Chorus" on the grill. It is what appears to be an early 80s, 100 watt tube amp with a single 12 inch speaker. I've never seen this amp before and am wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Thanks and Rock...

I'm going to be putting together a pc-based recording package and am looking at soundcard/interfaces. I have seen the Lexicon Core 2 PCI card listed in Musiciansfriend for $200. I only plan to use the system for myself and can make do with the 4 ins/8 outs. Would there be any problem running...

Hey folks, I've got a few friends who are helping me mix some four track stuff, so I'm dumping tracks into their hard disk machines. Question is, can I somehow use the zips containing stuff mixed on the Boss digital eight track and transfer it to the Roland (which has an accompanying cd...

Having heard good things about the cheap Marshall large diaphragm mic at about $150, I was wonddering about a similarly priced one. Musicians Friend has the Nady SCM900 mic at $99. Anyone had any experience with it? Keep Rockin', Stinky

A buddy of mine has a Roland 8-track hard disk recorder and has been getting VERY cold mixes. I've heard a lot of good things about the Roland units and know of the "coldness" of digital, but wanted to know what my options are when I go digital in the next year or so. I know using as much tube...

Hey Folks, I picked up a used Yamaha DSR2000 keyboard. I'm guessing it's about ten years old and seems to be in good working order. But I can't figure out how to access sounds in the expansion card it has which is interchageable. I'm trying to figure out how to use it. Also, I'm looking for...

I found an 8 X 4 channel M-1508 Tascam mixer for what looks like a decent price (about $100) and I was looking for some input from people who might know the machine or type. It looks to be in pretty good shape and I'm guessing was produced in the early 90s. I'm looking to use it to do final mix...

Hey Folks, I've got a Boss DR550 drum machine that is just too damn smart for me. I HATE USING IT!!!!! I know it's a few years old and there are new ones to choose from, but can anyone recommend one that's easier to program. I record by myself and make up songs on the fly, so I would like...

I've been trying to record for about a year. I get A LOT of tape noise and am looking for ways to reduce it. I have mid-line Vestax four tracker and record everything direct via a few SM57s, a Zoom 1010 and a few other guitar pedals. I know the pedals are noisy, but it's tape noise I'm trying to...
