Hi Guys- Thanks for all the great help. I know it seems like an absurd question but a lot of these new audio computer manufacturers suggest against using virus protection. I just read the FAQ at www.rainrecording.com that suggests against it completely as it is to processor intensive and...

I really wasn't sure where to post this question so this seems like a better place then any. I'm really interested in getting authentic celtic/bagpipe sounds and was wondering if there was any software out there that you know of that covers this area. Something obviously in midi. I did a...

I was wondering if anyone had any info on a tutorial that would help me with the ins and outs of setting up rack equipment. I am pretty new to this realm and just need some help trying to figure the right way to hook these things up together in combo with stomp boxes, etc. Thanks for any help.

I'm looking into getting my first telecaster- it'a an American Standard with deltatone pickups, etc for 640 w/hard case. My dilemna is I won't have the opportunity to play it before I buy it seeing that a lefty usually doesn't have a lot of opportunities in this department. My question for...

In some of the new American telecasters they have Deltatone pickups- does anyone know how these are? Or should they be replaced with something else? Also I have a 78 Fender strat- is there a specific pick up that might sound better today then what was put in it then? Thanks for any info.

I just purchased a Yamaha AW4416 hard disc recorder and was wondering if anyone could fill me in on some good books to help me with this recording thing. The learning curve is pretty big for someone with limited recording experience. Thanks for your time.

I've been doing research on buying a good drum/bass machines for home recording. I just bought a Yamaha AW4416 and I'm a guitar/piano player and need something so I can work on stuff at anytime of night/day. I've heard a lot of good things about the Roland DR660, dr 770, Alesis, and I was...

Is there a specific mic pre that goes better with tube mic's? I'm going to be recording piano, acoustic, electric, male vocals(modern rock/alt) with a Yamaha AW4416 and I'm trying to figure what mic pre to get with the Rode because it's tube and seeing the million choices I thought some might...

I am pretty much convinced on getting one of these but it seems like everywhere I go on the web the standard price is $599. Anybody know of a place where I can get a better deal on one(besides ebay). I usually shop at Full Compass but unfortunately they don't sell this. Where's the best place...

Has anyone used Sennheiser HD-265's, 250II, 200, or 25's. I heard they make great studio headphones but I've also heard people mentioning Beyer DT 770's and everything else under the sun. If I'm going to be recording alt/rock/acoustic I know this is a very subjective question and there is...

I'll admit I'm a newbie but I have scoured all of the information available to me in fear of being chastised by the "elders" and have a simple question(s). There is a lot of tossing and turning between the 4033, 4050, C1 and blahblahblah- so hard to try and decide. But I've heard some people...
