nevermind Sorry, I didn't see the MIDI beginners thread on this board. That has already cleared up some stuff.

Hi I am running an old Korg keyboard through a MIDI/USB interface into Logic Pro 6, trying to use the keyboard to play the MIDI instruments. I know nothing about MIDI. Everything seems to be working; the lights on the interface show data is flowing through it, and the numbers in the...

So my band finally made enough money from playing shows to go out and buy a PA so we don't have to run our vocals through a guitar amp any more. We got a decent enough PA with a bunch of channels, phantom power, EQ, tone knobs for each channel, pad, etc. We only got one speaker because our space...

Ooh, I just read up on the Pathfinder, that sounds really good. That's pretty much what I want, I think. I'll see if I can find one in town that I can try out.

I'm looking for a small but versatile guitar amp, maybe 60 watts or less (though my knowledge of these kinds of specific technical details is pretty minimal, so if I'm over/underestimating my needs, please correct me). Ideally, I'd like something that I would be able to use at a reasonable...

Bump. Just made the transition from PC to the Powerbook G4. I'm looking for a multitrack recording program, and I've been doing research online, but everything looks really over-the-top and crazy. Is there anything like CoolEdit for Macs, something relatively straightforward? I won't be using...

Hi. I realize this all has probably been covered in the past, so if you'd prefer to link me to old threads to answer my questions, I'm ok with that. 1. My girlfriend and I are going to buy a laptop because our old computer is falling apart. As far as music goes, I use our current computer...

Nevermind, I'm going to repost this on the Newbie thread. Please go there if you have answers for me.

Well, that's just silly.

This is a famous article by David Fair, the original guitarist of Half Japanese, a kind of primitive rock band from the mid-70's to the present. They were the subject of the documentary "The Band that Could be King." Please respond. How to play Guitar by David Fair [of Half Japanese] I taught...

This might seem like kind of a bitchy thing to say, as a musician, I would be hesitant to work with anybody who could automatically say that something (recording a professional album with only one cheap mic) is impossible. This kind of attitude, especially from people who probably haven't even...

Sorry, I don't usually post on the weekends and I was busy yesterday. But I experimented a little at practice last night and I think I know what it is. My guitar is a Vantage Gibson 335 rip-off, not a Strat. It has no tremolo. But I think that when I bend the neck back or maybe even bend the...

Uh, it varies. No central air and only gas heat (radiators). But this isn't happening between practices. I'll tune my guitar, play a song, and then the string will be sharp. I'll retune, play another song or two, and it's sharp again.

Next time I'll check it with a tuner, but I'm pretty sure the other strings stay in tune.
