Hi all I'm having the seymour duncan Everything Axe set of mini humbuckers installed in my strat. The dude says he can fit a single coil switch for not much. He says that I can run with the humbuckers or flip a switch to engage just single coils. Anyone used these? Does this sound like a good...

Hi. I've had a problem recording since getting my new dual core athlon pc. I originally posted this in the PC forum because I thought it was soundcard related but I have realised that it's an electrical issue. When I record a track I can hear an electrical interference. I have all my stuff set...

I have 2 x 4" thick rockwool panels free standing in the lower corners at the front of my 'studio'. I want to put more at this end (the rear is being sorted soon). Now, should the next 2 be over the top corners (covering wall to wall to ceiling) or behind the monitors (in the middle of the...

Hi all I recently bought a Beyerdynamic MCE 90 from ebay on a whim for very little cash. The only other condenser I have is a Rode NT1000 (which I love). I wanted another condenser just for acoustic guitar and general 'other' jobs when I wanted more options (room mic etc). In reviews this make...

Hi all I've been using my M-audio Keystation 61es (USB) to input midi for about a year without a problem. Now I've reinstalled all of my software the computer fails to 'see' it as an input device. In the Hardware view of system it's there as unidentified hardware. It doesn't need drivers for...

Hi y'all. I've just got round to updating my system to include a new Yamaha 12/4 mixer. I plan to use it mainly for the Preamps and send the signal out of each channel 'send' into an individual track on a soundcard. I'm using an Audiophile 24/96 at the mement and think it sounds great. To...

Hi all. I've bought myself the DKFH and LM4 to add some life to my sequenced drums. LM4 only loads one instrument (eg, bass drum) at a time. So to have Kick, nsare, tom, hats, cymbals each with live and room samples takes loads of instances of LM4. This I can cope with. What is making my...

I'm working on a new project in December with a very talented singer/songwriter. He's very Neil Young inspired (which suits me as I love the early stuff). Because of this style he wants to sing and play guitar at the same time and then over dub loads of instruments to get the most organic...

I mix in SX2 and edit complete mix in Soundforge 7. I spent ages last night mixing my new tune (Early Pearl Jam ish). I found that when I imported it into Soundforge to trim the start finish (Old habit that I haven't shaken off yet) the wave form seemed 'off centre'. It's in stereo but in each...

Anyone ever used a Tanglewood Warrior 2 bass? A friend is selling one and I'm working out a price to offer him. It's only for writting lines and dropping them onto recording (real bass player will over dub when he can). It's to get down ideas and rough mixes. Style - rockish pop/indie

OK. Now I know that the subject of this program and it's merits (or lack of them) comes into question a lot... but... I recently upgraded my monitors and am learning how to mix on them. This package really made a nice difference to the sound of my latest mix (although I was pretty darn close...

Theoretically. If you recorded a band (individually) at 32/96. And were mixing down... What happens to the individual tracks when they are pushed way up? Meaning the master fader needs to below halfway just to stop it clipping. Does it act like tape and compress slightly?? Or is this just...

Hi This is my first complaint about the Truths they have served me well until now. My Truths are the original (B2301 not the B2301A) and they've been great... well, ok anyway. Everytime I power up the speakers after a minute or so (without any audio playing) the right one pops and BANG...

I hope I'm not alone in this... I spend Hours/days/weeks/months adjusting mixes until they sound good over my monitors and headphones. But I can't get them to lose the boomey sound that's making the mixes sound muddy and losing the clarity when playing back on 'normal' home audio systems. The...

I know that I'm gonna get spanked royally about this but here goes... My control room acoustics suck... tiny room, not enough absorbtion... not enough room to put much more in! :( It's pretty great at judging the highs but the lower mids and bass levels are all over the place. For this...
