Allan Holdsworth is the most prominent player of the 80's MIDI guitar-like controller called the SynthAxe. If you read anything about the SYnthAxe, Allan's name will come up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthaxe www.hollis.co.uk/john/synthaxe.html or just google SynthAxe, and you'll get...

For software, try out Audacity. It's free.

Now, now, children, let's not piss in each other's lemonade. It's true that many people don't se the search function enough, but at the same time, if the search function returns too many results, it's not very usable. Let me suggest an alternative search method. go to google and put in...

Warning: the following is not based on personal experience, but a conversation I had with a sound engineer last week. If you're resording it, then you will want (as much as possible) to have the higher keys more in one channel and the lower ones in the other. One way to achieve this is to do a...

I totally agree. When I first looked into building my own, it was because I couldn't afford a Digitech Whammy pedal. I looked into what I could build. Nothing you can do yourself does what a Digitech Whammy does. But once I got into the hobby, I enjoyed it. And then, after building three pedals...

To search, you have to be logged in. Then it's in the blue bar near the top. Pedal building is not an economic move. You won't save anything--in fact, you'll probably spend more. If you think you'll save money over buying, say, Boss pedals, you won't. However, there are great advantages to...

Thanks for hte plugin. Really handy, because complete lateral control of stereo tracks is my favorite place to play around.

I've been through a Dashboard Confessional phase before, so I'm familiar with the type of sound you are looking for. Here are some suggestions to try out: Guitar:Overdub guitar tracks twice, at least the rhythm guitar, and pan them L/R about 50%. Wide enough to not conflict, but not a huge...

Gain, I hate to resort to always pluggin the site, but try www.diystompboxes.com. You can make your own, or learn to mod factory-built pedals and match them to your tone's needs. Again, it really depends on what you need. Electro-harmonix makes good pedals. MXR's are solid and reliable, boss...

To be honest, I do not have experience with the mic that I am about to suggest. What I am suggesting is that you consider it. Apex has a pair of MATCHED pencil condensors, 185's. Each has omni and cardiod capsules, they each have a unique graph of frequency response (so you can "see" that...

I've never modded a pedal of mine. . . except the one's I've built. For more info on mods, or building your own, I highly recommend Aron's Stompbox Forum . I've built a dual-channel booster/FX loop pedal from a bord I got at www.generalguitargadgets.com, and it's really handy. Having unique or...

A few things I would suggest: Get at least two hard drives, one for sustem data (Windows, other crap) and one ofr strictly audio. This is really nice for a few reasons, one being faster data streaming for direct-from-drive applications (for example, if you get EastWest Quantum Leap's Symphonic...

Well, it depends on what you want for sounds. I know that if you plan on doing a lot of piano stuff, weighted keys are the only way to go. When you want to really hammer down and rock out on piano, non-weighted keys really suck. Now, my thoughts on some keyboards. THe Motif is sweet, and I...

Ya, what obscure shit. I reinstalled drivers today, no change. Well, if I get it fixed, I'll let you know what was wrong. . .

Okay, and to add to that. . . when I'm editing in Adobe Audition, suddenly when I copy and paste, it adds random pops. Like when I tried to delete one channel, it became silence with a single pop. Any ideas?
