Sounds like you're the victim of a nasty ground loop. Try to disconnect your lappie from the mains and see if it helps. If the noise's gone, then that's a ground loop. I've heard that some people solved the problem by opening their laptop and disconnecting the ground pins of the USB socket from...

You can get away storing 1.5 Gig of audio on a single CD-RW using wav specific losless compression such as monkey audio's http://www.monkeysaudio.com/ It is lossless and It can reduce the size of a stereo wav file to a quarter of its original size (wheras winzip would give you only a half). The...

Who would have some precise tecnical argument in favor or against XP? things like: -better task scheduling policy under XP? -more audio streams with XP? -better latency with XP? -better swap file management with XP? -more plugins on the exact same project on the exact same hardware just by...

the picture went wrong, he I go again: .dude's.head.->O voice -> mic1 ......................../|\ ......................./.|.\ ---- cardboard---- .........................| guitar -> mic2 ......................../\ ....................._/...\_

I think I remember someone mentionning a technique for separating vocals from guitar when recording live solo tracks somewhere on the forum. The trick was to place cardboard horizontally in front of the guitar player, halfway between the guitar and his mouth, and then have a microphone picking...

Hi again, I'm sure your all know about reactive loads and silent recording (THD hot plate, Marshall Power Soak, Weber Mass, etc.) I'm sure you've also heard of master Randall Aiken (www.aikenamps.com) and his reactive load design (there are actually two design proposals on his web site...

yes that's right, impedance matters as much as level, I could experience this with the big muff, it gets really muddy even at low levels when reamping from the delta's line out, with volume set low. It also changes the treble response of the amp.

Have you tried large low-speed PAPST fans? they're so silent. and so expensive too.

How cool is that, I'm so dumb I never thought of doing it this way! I'm gonna try this week end and keep you informed. Stay tuned. Cool.

that's exactly what I was talking about, and that's a little expesove for me at the moment... one day hopefully...

Hi again, even at -10dbv it still somehow overloads the stomps and amp. I tried to reamp a take through my big muff through my blues deluxe combo, the fuzz was over-over-distorted (I couldn't get the creamy fuzz tone I have with my guitar on the same setting), and as I lowered the volume...

I tried it the direct way, but the signal out of the delta is way too hot compared to what comes out of a guitar, I had to lower the volume from the delta mixer, which gave me a lame signal to noise ratio. A transformer will reduce the voltage but give more current, at the risk of damaging the...

I found those audio technica CP8201 XLR-1/4" transformers, with an input impedance of 250 ohms and an output imepdance of 50,000 ohms. They're meant to be used with capacitor mics, but do you think this can do the trick converting line out to guitar like? or will I have to by an expensive...

Hi, I'd like to re-amp dry guitar tracks through an amp, and I need to raise the impedance of my sound card's output to a guitar-like impedance (8-10k Ohms). My sound card is an Omnistudio, and I can't figure out the output impedance of the line outs. Do any of you have an idea about how to...

There's the ATI Remote Wonder, a really neat remote control. You can get it to work with any application by using the Girder soft, which will simulate keyboard actions whenever you press a button on the remote. The remote works with RF, so the signal passes through walls, up to 7 meters...
