Haven't tried the 50 but the 30 sounds amazing and VERY versatile to my ears.

Pretty much always shape my bass tone in the box with plugins, using different types of EQ, saturation, compression and (here's the thing) a hand full of different sounding distortions. Especially the distortion in combination with hi and low pass filtering (so that you can choose precisely what...

I'd go with that, since you already know exactly how the 1010 works, and suppostedly linking them works fine (though I have NO experience in this, the M-Audio techs were very helpfull in telling me how to link my 44 to another 44 [and the 44 does not have any linking capabillities advertized!)...

That's the Haas effect right there. Make the delay even shorter, and you get phasing. Make it longer and you get an echo. Making 1 guitar really stereo almost never works in a possitive way. The only thing I can think off that does work is a very deep chorus, but obviously, this is gonna make...

I think it's the placement aswell, it seems to be somewhere on the right, did you use a stereo widener of haas panner or something that does psycho-acoustic panning? Don't use that, instead, double track and pan hard left and right. It will help. Also, some more top-end would help I think, cause...

Why don't you just let the drummer and bassplayer hear what they wanna hear? I'm mean, you are in charge of the FOH and the monitoring, that's 2 different things. Turn the amps down and the monitors up, put them up real close to the drummer and bassplayer as well. Only problem you can run into...

This (and the AX100) is the fastest guitar-to-midi interface there is (and therefor, the best one). You need a hexaphonic pickup like Ripthorn mentioned. This is basicly a small pickup with a 13-wire cable, that sends a signal for every string. The AX50 takes these 6 signals and analyses the...

Seems to me like you've run into a very common problem: wanting to use effects (in pedal or other form) with bass, yet they also suck tone. Here's how I fix this: - First, split your signal into two paths (I'd think in the X3 that would be using 2 amps). - You are going to use the first signal...

Autotune, with extreme correction settings, probably driven by midi.

I actually think your question is very easy to answer, because pretty much any computer you can buy these days is gonna fit your needs. Since you already own protools and an mbox, I'd just stick with that, you won't need any other soundcard (the Mbox basicly is your soundcard). Since you won't...

Well, each of these programs is going to do some things that the others do as well, but then also have a bunch of features unique to that package. Rewire allows you to send all the audio coming out of one program to channels of another audio program (for instance, Ableton Live rewired to Cubase...

I have the Axiom 49 and experience with the CME controllers. The Axioms have actual piano keys, that are lighter than piano keys, but still react in somewhat the same way. I feel the CME ones are more like organ keys with added tention. I like the Axiom a lot more.

Might I shed some light on the matter? :) I agree that for the most part, it's marketing BS and even if it's true, it's useless to musicians. However, in the field of creative sound design, extreme processing, like pitching something down over an octave, is not uncommon at all. If you pitch a...

That also, but I don't think that's the main reason. It's really a matter of taste (I think bass sounded pretty great on some older tracks as well), but there are a number of improvements in equipment that allow for much "better" bass tracks. A couple of examples: - Moderns music carriers...

I think it sounds pretty good except for 2 things: your kick is missing low end and your snare is ringing alot, tuning should fix that.
