During a fresh install, how do you do this? I was able to eventually figure this out in v4, but with v5 I keep getting all the supplied FX plus my own lost to each other in a grand mess leaving me once again stuck in the gate. Cookbook me through this in the simplest most generic way, please...

Insert>Media-Item just gets me errors on my new installation of v4.78 on my new computer. I'm trying to stick an .MP4 into a track, which I was able to do with the previous installation and can do with the dummy default installation of an older version on my laptop. You're supposed to be able...

Here in the Studio of Death (where year after year thousands of dollars worth of DAW/recording gear goes to unproductively and mysteriously croak without ever recording a single note) I recently cooked a C: drive on the existing system, prompting me to throw the whole cursed mess out and start...

While I have a pretty good dedicated studio, I recently took advantage of an incredible SDOTD price on one of [these]: ...to do some scratch recording and preliminary fiddling around when I don't want to fire up the studio. Rather to my surprise, this thing is vastly more sophisticated than...

Most recent was this Seymour Duncan DI. Sent it back. Bypass throws a HUGE discharge spike the first time it's cycled, then throws a smaller spike every time. Previous runs didn't do this, but apparently all of these do. $199.99 MSRP and it's less useful than a BDI21.:mad:

Long Deal? $99.99... It appears that these are not the same microphones as previous ones of the same names...but does anyone know if these are decent microphones and not just another crap drumkit set from China with generic capsules and inflated MSRPs? I can't find any real reviews on these...

This is a great forum for discussing all software modelers, but are there any comparable comprehensive ones for hardware modeler/MFX devices? Many thanks for some good leads!

CAD Equitek e60: $69.95, shipped, today...nominal MSRP $299. I was thinking it might be a good choice for a speaker isolation cabinet I'm going to build, due to its size.

To save my life, I can't get the sort of sound I want for a project. Baritone male vocal, semi-spoken-word, almost slam-poetry vocal over music. Immediacy and intimacy in vocals in recorded music is one of the go/no-go issues for me and always has been. You know the sound: As if someone is...

OK, I've been trying to fill out a set of half-decent cymbals for some time. It used to be I couldn't find used cymbals at anything but near-new prices on Craigslist and got discouraged. Suddenly, stuff is being not only listed at less than half of what it was a couple of years ago, but it's...

OK, it's a pre-'95 Zildjian (no serial #) marked 'MEDIUM THIN CRASH 16"/40cm'...any way of further identifying it? Guy selling it says he thinks it's a Zildjian A and wants $60:

This? or this? Essentially the same price. I've been picking up some snares for recording samples when I see them on long sale. I was pretty disappointed with the Yamaha Kabuto I bought and suspect it was just a promotional junker with a goosed-up phony MSRP. Same with these, or are they...

How do you do it? What's a fairly quick and meaningful way to test/cherrypick a batch of several nominally identical microphones, or so-called "pairs," especially inexpensive ones that tend to be inconsistent? Thanks for any guidance; my purely subjective listening impressions don't strike me...

With luck, tomorrow I'll probably get a new motherboard/CPU at Fry's and build a dedicated Reaper box. I'm assuming that by 2009 there shouldn't be much issue with hardware, but I thought I'd check for known issues with chipsets, etc. I'm planning on AMD Quad-Core, XP, and whatever motherboard...

Since installing a MIDI interface driver for a Yamaha device, I get the following Windows error when I try to use J-Edit for another modeler, and others report the same problem with other devices: "Midico~1 A device ID has been used that is out of range of your system" I've seen many...

I find nothing substantive about these in search. They're supposed to be the Stupid Deal of the Day on the 26th, probably around $60-$80. This dual-capsule thing seems like an odd concept. Anyone use one? Thanks for any useful data.

Deal or dud?

Somewhat to my amazement, I have never owned a classical guitar. I was thinking that I should pick one up if for no other reason than to have it for the option of recording nylon-string tracks occasionally. The one thing I do know about classical guitars is that aside from tuning, there are no...

OK, so MF has these things for a hundred bucks "today only." I can't find anything on them anywhere, not even on MXL's site. I'm expecting they are "a Musician's Friend exclusive" repackaging of something else, say a V67g maybe. Whate are they, are they any good, are they worth $100 and are...

...by "Stupid Deal of the Day." Hey, them scary drums I got from Musician's Friend on their "Stupid Deal of the Day" a couple of weeks ago? The ones that arrived without the second box with the rest of the drums and the hardware? Well, for the past week, MF has been telling me that the rest of...
