I've played in a UK country Band for 17years now and although I aint no Brad Paisley, Im not a bad twanger. The problem is when we're doing our album, it comes to me putting down the lead guitar work and when I listen to it back it sounds sh!te, twangy and very amature (in that order). Is it...

OK so I records my track from my VS1680 through all the various bits n bobs and down into cakewalk as an audio track. Plays back ok too! Now I need to cut this track to CD. 1. What format does the cakewalk track need converting to 2. what software converts it? 3. any special settings I need...

Using my Roland VS1680 I recorded my country band minus the vocals & lead guitar (me). We put the vocals on after, not a problem but now I've come to record my lead guitar work and if I plug the strat direct into the VS it sounds really harsh and un-natural. I've tried using a Line6 POD v2.0 but...

So Ive recorded, mixed and now im ready to send to Minidisc or whatever, Im gonna send the mixed track from my VS1680 through a mixer (to give to overall sound an EQ'ing if it needs it) to a minidisc recorder. question: 1. should i also patch in a quadraverb to add some subtle effect to the...

Using my Roland vs1680, my mate wants to cover some Stereophonics song, but he doesn't have a band, he's just a vocalist. Is there anyway of getting a backing track into the VS1680 on stereo tracks, and let him sing onto a seperate channel and mix the two together???? If so, what type of file...

What is the process for changing my external CD writer ? It is toooooooo slow making backups of my Roland VS1680. Do I need to update the VS1680 or will it just plug in and work? Any ideas of a decent CD writer too?

When I view my HDD status on my V1680 it tells me the following: Formatted: 4.0gb 0: 2.1gb 1: 1.9gb I take it this means I have a partion on here, if so, how do i remove it to make it one big 4.0gb disk??

OK, Im reeeeeally P!$$ed off now. I've had my US Strat Plus for 17 years now and recently, say within the last 4 years, I've been going through strings (especially 0.26 D string) at a rate of every other gig. Sometimes I'll string it completely on the Monday, gig on the Wednesday, gig on the...

Ive recorded a track as an audio track and i've recorded track 2 as a midi track. When I EXPORT AUDIO to a WAV file only the audio track gets exported. How can i export all the tracks (audio and midi) to a WAV file?? Cheers ya'll

In Cakewalk Home Studio you get a long list of patches, anything from Accoustic Piano to Violin. Can you get extra instruments to install or is that it? Anyone?

When I play down the headstock end I get a lovely chunky sound - Love it! But when I come up the neck around the 12th fret area, the sound goes very thin & I feel I have to really pluck the strings hard to get the sound to be heard. Any Ideas? Setup: Fender Strat Plus into a '94 Twin. Cheers

How can I get a good steel guitar sound onto my songs? Im recording a Country Album but I can't play Steel guitar & I don't know anyone who does. So, is there a midi patch or a effects unit that can turn a normal guitar into a steel guitar?? I have: Strat - BOSS BE5 - Multitrack 2nd Strat...

I've got my band recorded on my Roland VS1680. I want to get the song into cakewalk to do some overall sound adjustments (eg: reverb, compression etc) and then burn it to CD. Can cakewalk do this or am I fighting a losing battle?

So Ive recorded my new album. Ive mixed it from my VX1680 down to a minidisc. I want it on CD, how am I to do that?? I have a CD writer in my PC, if that helps.

Peavey 50/212 (light colour tweed) I'm thinking of buying one. I play country, both traditional and new Country. If any one has used this amp for similar style, has it good sound? any info is welcomed. PS: Im using a Fender hot rod deville 2x12 at the moment.
