Since no one mentioned it, and I've seen this happen in and out of the studio...Check your input plug on the Les Paul, make sure the wires are connected and it's working properly. Also you might want to check your volume and tone knobs, they could be dirty or you may have a short. If all else...

Money, If you want Darla, you really have to have a Intel Pentium...you'll have a hell of a time getting it to work with an AMD, if it's works at all. As for cubase having a AMD shouldn't be a problem, but I'd ask Steinberg before you buy it to be sure. I also have an AMD processor (brand...

Tommy, I also use Powertracks Pro Audio (6.0) and it works great for me. What are your recording levels? Your peak level should stay right around -6db or you will get those pops, it's because the level is too high. The only other thing I can think of is your PC and/or soundcard, slower...

Hey, What you have is an active pickup, probably the humbucker. I had a Fender Strat with an EMG active pickup and it also had a 9 volt battery. The batteries last quite awhile, so don't worry about changing it if it has a charge. It makes a difference in how the pickup sounds, you'll get...

Check your multimedia settings for the sound card. Sounds like you don't have it set to record at "CD Quality". You'll find multimedia in you control panel. If that's not it, check Powertracks recording settings. Then if you still haven't found the problem I'd suggest contacting PG Music...

Hey, If you want to go direct from DAT machine to PC without losing quality there's a solution. Alexis makes an interface card just for that purpose, it costs $300 at Musicians Friend. You could also use it as a direct interface while recording, so you could get more tracks and lighten the...

Try Powertracks Pro Audio from PG music. Great and easy to use program and only $29 to buy. They also have a free demo to try: http://www.pgmusic.com/ptwa Also goto: http://www.echoaudio.com DL their echo reporter, it can give you a good idea of how many track you can record/playback...

Have you tried checking your volume settings for the sound card? Make sure the volume for WAV isn't turned down. Also for Powertracks your card MUST be full duplex or it won't run properly. The only other thing that comes to mind is if you're trying to use two separate cards, that only works...

GIBSON RULES! I have a Les Paul Studio, and I couldn't be happier with it. It scores high in every area: Action, Intonation, stays in tune, etc. The only additon I'm making to it is adding Sperzel locking tuners. It stays in tune very well already, but I don't like the stock tuners that come...

Hey, Before you buy n-tracks and put up with crashes and it's lack of included plugins, go check out Power Tracks Pro Audio 6.0. Up to 48 midi or digital audio tracks, alot of included effects and hasn't crashed on me yet. A friend of mine has a 133MHZ PC and he has gotten as many as 16...

Doug, What you mentioned helps, but it still comes back to this list: Audio editors Multitrack recording software MIDI sequencers CD burning software Mastering software MP3 utilities All of these items are part of a recording digital audio on your PC. There are more titles than I could list...

Without a PC your best bet is buying a digital multitracker. Alot of them use zip drives for storage, and if you are or decide to record you're all set. Fostex and Alkai(I think)have multitrackers with zip storage, and I'm sure there are some keyboards that could do it as well. Go to...

Doug, I'd be more than happy to make a list of stuff you could look at, but you need to list exactly what you're looking for and what you need it to do for you. Also what kind of budget are you working with? From your first message I assumed you were looking for a cheap solution. Also what...

Hey Doug, I'm currently upgrading from analog, so I know how you feel! So many titles, so little cash to get everything. For effects and editing I'd suggest GoldWave, which you can try for free then pay the registration fee later. Anything from Sonic Foundry would help too...

mgoldhammer, I've had a Vesta Fire 4-track, and it's as good as Fostex or Tascam or any other 4-track. I wouldn't pay $400 for it though, a couple more notes and you could go digital! Also this years analogs aren't any more expensive and you might as well get a new one. Hope this helps! Joe
