    Oh noes mic dropped in water

    An sm57 got accidentally dropped and submerged for a period of time(overnight) in kind of muddy/dirty water(don't ask. I swear I wasn't recording underwater doing a cover of Octopus's Garden). I rested it upside down to drain out the water. Anything else I should do? Is it going to be alright...

    Writing someone else's song?

    Wasn't sure what to call the thread.... What to be done to determine whether something you've made-up/written has actually already been written by someone else? What to do? What do you do? Context: At least fifty percent of the time I write in my head before even picking up an instrument. I...

    Anyone know Gretsch guitars?

    The guy wants $650, says it's a '62,...I think. I'm suspicious, doesn't sound right. I'll have it in my hands all this weekend to take a better look. It's a badass off the beaten path body style. Maybe a Duo Jet? What I don't like is, it looks like maybe the Bigsby has been replaced, gold...

    Vocal levels up or down?

    When recording vocals and listening through cans, do you prefer to cut the vocal levels down so they are somewhat buried inside the music, or up slightly louder than they would eventually be mixed into the rest of the tracks? If up, you can clearly listen, stay on key, and so forth. But then...

    Hiss problem

    I'm using a Boss DR-670 to record "drum" tracks. I'm recording each drum on a separate track, muting all other drums inside the Boss to get the one drum for each track. I'm running a midi cable between the two, my Tascam 2488 as the master, and the Boss being the slave. I'm getting a hiss on...

    Blank keyboard chord sheet?

    Does anyone know where I could possibly download/print a blank keyboard chord sheet. I've searched Google, and after clicking on links of about 10 pages I came up short. I'm not really a keyboard player and do not read music proper. I'm looking for hopefully a page with several blank piano...

    Suggestion on a (cheap) mic

    I've got the search engine open here in HR, and also searching/cross-referencing the Guitar Center website. I'm looking to purchase a condenser mic, today. Unfortunately I ain't got alot of dough to drop on the purchase, not at this time. I got dough, but if the boss(the wife) discovers that I...

    Synching Drum Machine?

    If anyone would be so kind... I'm new to recording...a newbie...and just got a Tascam 2488 neo for Christmas. Anyway... Edit: I'll place this edit up front to jump to the chase instead of possibly confusing the issue with ramblings. Short and sweet: When using a pre-programmed drum machine...
