Well I'm not a big fan of the Zoom products that I have tried but I've got to admit this one is interesting. http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/love.music?p=p.ZOMPS02&z=810699699219 The biggest potential I see for it is for live audience recordings but it would be great to take along on trips...

The majority of my recording consists of voice and acoustic guitar but eventually I would like to try and add some drums and bass. I can play the drums a little but I don't see myself acquiring a set in the near future so I plan to use a software based drum machine. I have played around with...

http://www.harmony-central.com/Features/FRecAcousticGtr/ Looked like a pretty good article to me.

I'm looking for some tips on mixing harmonica. I recorded some songs for a friend of mine yesterday and she played harmonica on a few of them. I've never really experimented with mixing it before so I was looking for some advice. Anything will be helpful, (Compression, EQ, Effects, etc.)

Has anyone played these Route 101 guitars that are being advertised on this site. I checked out their website and it looks like a pretty good deal. I'm not a big fan of buying a guitar without playing it but they have a 30 day money back guarantee. I was saving up to buy a new acoustic but I...

I've never played the LGX so I probably will not be much help but I'll give my thoughts on it nonetheless. My introduction to Godin was an Acousticaster. I was looking to buy a Gibson Chet Atkins SST but I saw the acousticaster which looked similar and tried it out. The metal tines which...

Are you sure you are maxing out the recording line in volume and not the play line in volume?

I play acoustic guitar and sing. I currently have a Peavey Ecoustic 112 amp which I love. It has a two inputs one of which is a mic channel. The only problem I have is that occasionally I want to play with other people and I don't have enough inputs. So even though, I love the amp, I was...

I am thinking of registering the Basic version of Fruity Loops but I have some questions about it first. If I create a pattern that contains something like a combination of 7 different drums or cymbals, can I write each drum or cymbal to a separate wave file or does the whole pattern have to go...

I'm really clueless when it comes to MIDI so I was wondering if someone could help me out a little. A little while back I decided I wanted to add drums to my mixes and opted for a Yamaha DD-50 digital drumpad over a drum machine because I wanted to teach myself how to play. Well I've since...

There is a pretty good article on mics in the latest issue of Acoustic Guitar with David Crosby on the cover. It covers different types as well as giving some suggestions for placement. There is also some discussion of live setups. A pretty good magazine overall, just can't figure out why...

I took my guitar into a music shop and tried it out. I didn't really care for the sounds I got out of it. I will say that I'm not real big on effects for acoustic guitars anyway. I thought I might want to use some every once in awhile but I didn't find anything suitable during my search. I...

I fully intend on recording some originals and I already have done a few instrumentals but I'd rather post something with vocals because to me that seems the hardest thing to get right. As for the cover of the song, I pretty much tried to copy the original as best I could but I doubt if anyone...

It might help to try doubling the riff and panning one track hard right and the other hard left. If you really want to put the lead behind the rhythm I don't think it will do that but it should help to blend it.

Does anyone have any experience recording with one of these. I have heard good and bad things about their sound but nothing about recording one. Right now the only means I have of adding drums to my recordings is Drag and Drop Drummer Light that came with the Cakewalk program I have. It is...
