I've never changed tubes before, but my amp needs em. So, I'm wondering what you guys suggest I get. I've got a Mesa Nomad 55 single. Thanks for your thoughts.

I plugged my guitar straight in to see if I like the amp simulator better than my actual amp, but I can't hear the product until I record it and then apply the insert. Any help on how to monitor the input with the insert running in Cubase 4? Thanks

Anyone else used this mic? What application are you using it for? I've tried it on snare a dozen times now and I can't get a good sound from it at all. It picks up low frequency pretty well, but absolutely no crack - contrary to reviews I read before purchasing. All it does, even on a...

I made my first panel frame....ever And its a little too big. Now I gotta disassemble and re-cut. The measurements given for this material have got to be wrong. The frame is even smaller than the measurements would indicate need be required. Just felt like sharing my frustration.

The idea of just a bunch of black panels (or whatever color, take your pick) doesn't sound so appealing to me. I'd love to draw or paint on the fabric covers, or even find some cotton fabrics with pictures already on them. Obviously I can't paint the whole thing - then no sound will get...

I picked up a couple of these for $75 each. About $25 off retail (depending on where you buy of course). I'm wondering what people here think of them - if you've used em. I A/B'd it on the mid-tom against an old CAD NDM 10 drum mic that I haven't used in about 5 years. Seemed like the AKG had a...

I want to set some cheap mics on my drums for scratch tracks. I'd like to mic kick, snare, 3 toms, and occasionally two overheads. They will run into a MOTU 8pre in case that matters to you. Also, in case it affects a recommendation, I'd prefer mics that utilize clips - so I don't have to buy...

Just plugged my Zoom H2 into Cubase to try and record and discovered latency of 325+ MS!!!! I recorded on beat and playback was a beat and a half late at least. How disappointing. Anyone else had this problem? What did you do to correct it?

Finally got my KX working with Cubase, but the keyboard is controlling the software through MIDI notes and not the program buttons on the keyboard. Its kind of problematic to play a line when notes you hit are adding and deleting tracks. Anyone have experience with this problem? I haven't seen...

Don't know what the deal is. The keyboard obviously communicates with cubase because I can change which track I am on with the keyboard. However, I can't get any sound out of the keys when I use the VSTs. I'm pretty new to this type of stuff. I have followed the manual to the T. Very...

So I just bought a new acoustic guitar (Martin) and a new multitrack. I have a pair of cascade sdcs that I can use for recording the guitar. Not the best mics, but they're serviceable. I would like to buy another condensor that I can use to record the guitar from a different spot (not the 12th...

Hey guys, the group I write with wants to have a way to do quick on the fly recording so we can keep a record of our ideas. I have a laptop with cubase on it. Now I just need a mic. I figure a USB mic is the way to go, for the sake of ease. Which one would you recommend? I'm inclined towards...

Hey fellow recorders, I have a like new Firepod that I don't need. I haven't gotten near the use out of it that I would like, and I'm sick of a great piece of equipment not being put to good use. It has very low hours (no more than 15) on it. I haven't checked in a while but I'm pretty sure I...

My grandpa has what I have determined is likely either a 1941 or a 1950 Gibson J50 Acoustic guitar. Two questions. Does anyone have any sources where I could verify the year and does anyone have any sources where I could estimate a value range for this item? thanks for the help. I meant to...

none for me.
