For the most part Avatar has a pretty good reputation and is generally accepted as a good buy for cabinets - good performance, great price. I'm considering buying a bigger bass amp and am wondering what a comparable buy in a bass head, or even straight power amp, would be. As far as...

This might be an easy question to answer, but I didn't see anything in the help or the manual. Maybe I missed it something, but assuming I didn't ... A few weeks ago I was recording (I use SONAR 3.0) one night and everything was fine. Then when I went back to that project the next night I had...

I've been using an m-audio Omni Studio bundle (Omni breakout box with a Delta 66 card) for about 6 months and have been very happy with the set up. That is, until the other night. For some reason the Delta is no longer visible. SONAR doesn't see it, the basic Windows Volume Control Panel...

A friend asked me to accompany her on guitar for a recital she's doing. She gave me the sheet music and there's one chord that looks strange to me - AmM7. Is that an A minor with a major 7th thrown in. If this helps it's part of this progression: Am - AmM7 - Am7. So what I'm thinking is...

I got my copies last night and I am completely blown away by the work on this set. The first impression was a great one. Mission accomplished on creating a professional looking CD. It's exaclty like I hoped it would be. Then I listened to it and, like I said in the thread title, I am...

Holy sh*t!!! :eek: I sat down last night to start laying down the keeper tracks for our submission and for the first time EVER n-Track started crashing on me. It finally ended up crashing my PC regularly, which floored me because I'm running Windows 2000 and I've rarely seen it crash, at home...

OK, here we go. After about 3 1/2 years I'm finally posting an original tune in the Clinic. It's a scratch track of the song I plan to submit for the compilation CD - an instrumental called Joyride. It will be re-recorded next week but for now I'm just looking for some constructive criticism...

I'm looking at how hard it is for me to come up with one completed tune to submit to the compilation and I can't imagine how much work it is doing every Slackmaster2K is doing. The contract, the web site, the FAQs, answering question on the Compliation forum, it seems like it doesn't end but...

For a long time I was like most people, I did some occassional backups of my PCs for a while, then they became less regular, and finally they all but stopped. Lately I've gotten much better at doing backups on a regular basis (about monthly), but since I'm doing it on CD-Rs figuring out what...

I'm looking for a second disk for my PC and am trying to find out the advantages and disadvantages of secondary internal IDE drives and external drives (either USB 2.0 or FireWire). I searched this forum for info and didn't find anything, so ... My PC is a Dell Dimension 4100 with a 1 GHz...

I've seen mini amps like the Smokey, the Fender Mini-Tone, the Marshall MS-2, the Vox AC-1, etc., but the few models out there seem to be for guitar. Has anyone seen something like these but for bass? I'm looking for something I can leave upstairs, hide easily, runs on battery power, has a...

You're absolutely about there being no quick way, and you're also right about books. They are kind of vague, but that's because every situation is different. In other words, don't waste your time looking for a book called "The Complete Guide to Recording, Equipment Settings, Mic Placement, and...

Thanks, Shailat. I updated my bookmark.

Grimy, I'm not sure about the level of sarcasm in your last reply, so I'll handle it both ways. If there wasn't ignore the rest of this paragraph. If there was, I just want to make sure you understand no one who responded was being a wiseass. Well, maybe they were, but they did give you the...

One more thing ... Just a follow up to my previous post... I also intended to post links to sonusman's and Shailat's articles on compression, but I got messages saying that neither link worked. Don't know if they moved, but if someone knows where they are now, I'd appreciate it too. The...
