Okay I recently picked up a Boss RC-3 Loop Station. I read in the manual that you can transfer .wav files from your computer to the looper, which is cool I thought cuz then I can transfer backing tracks to the looper and practice my guitar solos over the backing tracks. But when I playback the...

Okay so I'm toying with the idea of getting a Laney LC-15. All tube 15 watt combo amp. I'd just use it for personal practicing. I don't play clean at all. I use a lot of gain in my tone. So I'm on Harmony Central reading reviews on this amp and many people are complaining about reliability. I...

I've been playing Dunlop Tortex .50mm for years now and for the most part they've felt pretty good. But I want to switch to something a little bit thinner. Fender thins are perfect but the problem is because they're made out of plastic they break extremely easy. I went through two of them last...

I usually play a string guage 10-46. Works pretty well. I think that's usually called light or sometimes regular. Been thinking about trying a slightly heavier guage like these Hendrix strings put out by Dean Markley: .011 .013 .018 .030 .042 .052 I was thinking since I play a scalloped neck...

Seems many like the Callaham bridges for Fender Strats. The lady at Callaham said they use only cold rolled steel instead of zinc or some other alloy. Supposed to increase sustain and improve tone. Supposed to be better than genuine Fender bridges. Anybody here playing a Strat with a Callaham...

1. In a few days I will have both Custom Shop 69's and Fat 50's. I have a Malmsteen Strat with a maple neck. I was going to put Fat 50's in all three positions, but then I thought that maybe a Fat 50 in the neck might be a little too warm and bassy. Would it be better to put a 69 in the neck...

Just curious whether this Fender bridge would fit on my Strat body. I'm pretty sure my body is Mexican. I assume this bridge is American made: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-62-Reissue-Stratocaster-Tremolo-Bridge?sku=361340

A couple of questions concerning single coil pickups: 1. I may be installing some single coils in my Strat in the near future. I'm using Area 61's now which I like but I do go through pickup experimention syndrome from time to time. I will be running my Strat through a distortion pedal plus a...

I'm not a bass player but rather a guitarist. But I play the bass lines for my originals into my computer so that's why I have a bass. Awhile ago I picked up an Epiphone Thunderbird. Great looking bass. Extremely beautiful finish. Looks really cool. Too bad the sound sucks. Pickups sound grey...

I'm using Reaper 32 bit on XP 32 bit. I've been considering picking up XP 64 bit and increasing my RAM to 4GB. Right now I got 3GB. Even though there is not a final 64 bit version of Reaper available yet, would Reaper have access to more RAM in a 64 bit operating system even though the software...

I recently started building a drum track with EZ Drummer. The first night EZ Drummer worked fine. I selected which variation I wanted and then just dragged it onto a track in Reaper. But now drag and drop is no longer working. When I highlight something in EZ Drummer and try to drag it onto my...

I may be picking up a pad controller, but was wondering where the instructions are for mapping the pads to the drum and cymbals in your drum software. I've downloaded a few manuals but they don't discuss that in there. Would that info be on some included disc that you get when you buy the pad...

I just learned of audio loops called Drums on Demand. I listened to some of the samples on their web site and they sounded pretty good. I was wondering if you can use these Drums on Demand with Reaper. I will be using Superior Drummer also as soon as it arrives. I'm rather confused about these...

Right now, when I record another track to a project, I play the pre-recorded track in Reaper(that comes through my desktop speakers)while listening to my live guitar sound through my headphones which are attached to my POD X3. What I'm doing is I put the headphones kinda halfway on my head, not...

I've done a little experimenting with micing my 40 watt Marshall DSL401, but the results are not very good. Doesn't sound nearly as good as using a hardware emulator. I tried taking my mic and putting in in front of the speaker and using an adapter going directly into my sound card. There was...

I think I'm going to pick up a Nady GEQ-215 which is a dual channel graphic EQ. It's also available as a 31 band single channel, which causes me to ask: What's the difference between a single channel EQ and a two channel EQ? Is one better than the other? I'm going to be using it to help sculpt...

I like the sound of my POD X3, but it's turning out to be unstable. Severe drop-outs. Many people have posted similar complaints. Anyway, I'm considering an alternative hardware emulator. The V-Amp Pro. Anybody here have one? How do you like it? I'm mostly interested in the hi-gain Marshalls and...

Does anyone here use any of the Kjaehus Golden Series Plug-ins? If so, let me know, cuz I have a question or two I'd like to ask.

Anybody use Ozone 3? Been thinking about buying it. Looks very impressive and I know a local bass player that uses it.

I'm getting to know the compressor in Reaper called ReaComp. One of the sliders on the bottom says RMS Size, measured in milliseconds. What is this for? Try to keep it simple, as I am no geek.
