    i need a new ax, suggest one!

    ok, it's gotta be cheap. i don't mind it being japanese, korean, mexican, whatever, as long as it's a lot of bang for the buck, and very 'upgradeable'. i'm trying to stay under $500, but about $300 would be great, if there is a good enough guitar at that range. so my case is i play indie jangle...

    amp deal (should i be worried?)

    i've got my eye on this tube amp on ebay that is going pretty cheap, and closing in a few hours, but the description says: Note: This amp is noisey when you first turn it on, but after it warms up for about 10 minutes, it behaves normally. I don't know if it needs a new tube, or to be biased, or...

    avoiding doubled notes

    when i'm programming drums, i usually sequence the basic rhythm pattern for the song, then copy-paste it to as many bars as the song has, and then do the sequence-editing as i do the arranging. but what happens sometimes is that i get notes copied over one another, then i have to go over them...

    how do i setup an arpeggiator?

    i've always been puzzled by the elusive arpeggiator, so i tried to do something with it in fruity loops, but i'm kind of a beginner, and it really didn't work, so if anyone could enlighten me? i know it produces an arpeggio-like pattern based on the notes you feed it with, but how do i do it...

    have you guys done it before? does it help? i'm asking because i don't have a gate, and i'd have to buy one if i wanted to do this, since i can't rent one anywhere near my location. so i'd like to hear from people who have done it.
