Hello everyone, I recently bought some new gear for use with my Roland 880EX and the last item on my list is an external comp. Being new to the details of compression, the Presonus Blue Max's presets look very nice. Also, I believe that the ACP 22 has some kind of automated attack/release...

Greetings, I must get a good microphone in the near future for use with my VS-880EX and need some opinions and insights on what to go with. I have decided to just drop some extra cash and get something of fairly high quality so I have no regrets down the road. I need this mic for vocals and...

Thanks for the replies. I went to my local (well, an hour away) music store today and played a ton of taylors for about an hour and a half. I am more confused than ever. I have determined that the grand auditoriums have a smoother sound with a nicer top end, but the drednoughts are a bit...

I am probably going to buy a Taylor pretty soon so I have a good acoustic, but don't know which body style to go for. I think I will get one with the on-board Fishman blender pre-amp, so I can play it live without hassles. That is in the future, however, and for know I will basically just use...

Thanks for the information. I feel much better about ordering the new guitar! I have always hated the floyd rose and never used it for whammy-ing anyway. Foo, do you have any special technique for winding the strings around the post? I have always just strung them through the little hole and...

Greetings, I have had my eye(s) on an ESP Eclipse for some time now, but, having played a floyd rose equipped Ibanez for many years, wonder how well it will stay in tune without a locking nut and bridge. What do all you tune-o-matic bridge players think? However, I am looking forward to having...

Recording Engineer, I think it runs between $500 and $550.

Greetings, I am going to be buying a microphone for recording vocals and acoustic guitar in the near future, and the Rode NT-2 and Shure KSM 32 are the two mics on the top of my list. What are your thoughts on these two? How do they compare, and are there any areas where one might be preferred...
