I'm looking into getting a pedal power supply for my pedal board. Right now I am using 9 pedals that require power and a passive volume pedal. I am also using george l's cables on the board and in the fx loop on the amp. I am noticing that I have several NOISY ASS pedals. When I say noisy I...

Hey, I'm just getting into playing keys and am quickly falling in love with it. Right now I'm interested in setting up a keyboard rig so that I can play without the aid of my computer. I'm look for a synth module and a good weighted key keyboard controller. I'm also looking to spend around...

Hey I read a few of the responses to the dongle crack about Cubase. But I have one question..... WHAT THE HELL IS A DONGLE?!?!?!?! ~darknail

Hey guys! I've got me this little problem here that's causing me to go insane. I'm using Cubase SX2 to do tracking, and usually use 3 VSTis when writing a song. I have this one VSTi called the drum kit from hell by native instruments. Well the way it works is that it simulates mics on a drum...

Hey what's faster? A firewire interface or a pci one?

A few Questions... First can an analog mixer have ADAT i/os? And Secondly if that analog mixer has ADAT i/o, does that mean that your computer can record multiple tracks to the sequencing program at once? If so whats a decent analog mixer I can find with ADAT i/os? ~darknail

Okay lemme see if I got this straight. Now the point of having a soundcard with multiple in's out's is so that you can mix down to outboard gear. Right? Now if you chose to do all you mixing/mastering ONNNNN the computer wouldn't a digital mixer make more sense? Help!!!! ~darknail

Hey I've been doing a lot of recording with my computer. Right now what I do is use a Jstation, and record 2 guitar tracks each using a different amp model. Well, Its not really cutting it so what I'm doing now is building an isolation box for my amp. I'm planning to record using 4 sm57 mics...

Any input? I play prog rock/metal. I need a pedal that will give me crunchy power chords, and sharp single notes, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD clarity when playing complicated chords. Ideas? ~dnb

Hey I'm a prog rock/metal kinda guy and want a decent amp modeler for my computer recording rig. I'm just looking for some opinions. My choices right now include the PODxt, the Vox amp modeler or the Native Instruments Guitar Rig. I play with distortion most of the time, but don't use a lot...

Hi. I just bought a M-Audio Keystation 49e, and I'm using Cakewalk Homestudio 2004 XL. My computer is a custom built one running an adm athlon 2000+ around 1.6ghz and running 786mbs or RAM. Thing is, when I play the keyboard using softsynth, It lags like hell, and I can't play in time at all...

Hi I have an M Audio audiophile in my PC that doesn't get the job quite done. This is mainly due to the fact that it doesn't have any MIDI synth in it. I use my PC to capture inspiration, and to do arrangements on songs. So the midi synth is essential for me. Any recomendations? I was...
