    Fender Pro Junior hiss

    Pro Jrs. are unusually susceptible to the hum demon. In part, it has a lot to do with their construction. Changing out the tubes can help, especially changing the preamp tubes. It might take several to get it to reduce. Also, on the back of the amp there is the name plate. try turning the...

    multitracking

    most likely, you will need to export each track as a .wav file and bring each file into the multitrack session, which is how Audition tracks anyway. Once the tracks are transferred you can slide them around so that they are placed where you want them. You may also find more detailed answers to...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    Thing is BrettB, as a student you can buy many student versions of software. These are usually the full version but with manuals on CD-ROM or on the website. But they are usually at least 1/3 the cost--and quite legal. It's been a while, but I think adobe Audition is under $150. For those of...

    help needed with line 6 tone port

    I use the same set up. I have the Line 6 UX2 going into Adobe Audition 2.0. The output of the Toneport is one channel is output 1 and 2 and the other output is 3 and 4. On your audition track you need to select output 1 and 2 for one track and output 3 and 4 for the other track. Discovered...

    Crate powerblock for recording

    Be sure that you do not go direct out from the speaker output. That would be bad. Line out or, if it has it, DI out.

    Syntrillium Red Rover Remote Controller

    I have seen it on e-bay with Adobe Audition as a package deal. You might see if the seller will go ahead and sell the remote separately.

    Underrated guitarists

    Some one whose name almost never comes up on these lists--Roger Hodgeson(sp?) --the guitarist and high vocals for Supertramp in their hey day. His solos are usually underneath the vocals and strings so they are often not heard at quiet levels. But they are fantastic, toneful and tasteful.

    overdubb problem with vf-160

    I'm guessing you are trying to record direct to a track. That's how I do it. If so, to record an overdub you either have to change your input channels or move your original recorded track to a new set of channels (which is very easy). Just push the edit button and jog the wheel to track...

    Amp Suggestion

    I have a Fender Pro Jr. This is about as basic of an amp as they get. It has a volume knob and a tone knob. 15 watts through a 10" speaker. There is a hum that is very characteristic of the amp with stock tubes. A switch to JJ or Electro Harmonix tubes seem to the trick. Let me tell you...

    Perhaps the stupidest question posted here

    If I recall, the VS-840 and VS-880 came standard with one stereo effects processor which was capable of producing either one stereo effect or two mono effects. How one does this, I don't know as I don't own the unit. One major complaint that I have heard from roland owners is Roland's lack of...

    Strats

    Just thought I'd add to the Hendrix statement. If you listen to his live stuff, Jimi is constantly tuning his guitar. Not just between songs, but during them as well. Peace, Jim

    Dimebag Darrel slain....

    Well folks, I've read through this thread and I have had my emotions pulled a couple of different ways. When I heard about this last night my first thought was "I hope it wasn't some religious fanatic killing Dimebag for God." I am very religious, maybe even a holy roller. Let's face it, I...

    What is the use of a telecaster?

    Well, I have both a Tele and a Strat. First off, they sound very different. Teles have a bit more twang or bite. Clean sounding, they make great guitars for country and blues. Distort them and they are "icey" for lack of a better word. Bottom line, they are a work horse and jack of all...

    Recording Small Amps verses POD: opinions with my scenereo in mind.

    Hey, Randall makes an amp that takes preamp modules to get different amp tones. Each module has 2 preamp tubes and all analog circuitry. There several different modules: fender, Mes, Marshall, etc. The module goes into a slot on the power amp/combo (different watts for different models) and...

    What do you think of the PodXT for home recording?

    Hey you all, remember, we all love to make music, right! The test with the POD and the Sansamp GT2. Very constructive info, BTW. I use a POD 2.0 and have been fairly happy with it, especially when doing instrumentals. On my songs with vocals I have always been happy when listening to them...
