Is it safe to use the AKG C 414 B-TL II on guitar cabs? I've used it with great results on somewhat moderate volumes in my Randall Isolation, because the SM57 just wasn't giving me the tones I was aiming for. Could the capsule of the 414 be harmed by doing this? I'm using volume padding...

I'm running an Apple Power Mac G4 733 with Apple OS9.2.2 and Digidesign Pro Tools LE wich is my dedicated DAW-system. Because my PC broke down a few weeks ago I've decided to use my G4 as an internet computer also. Now I wonder what I need to make this work? I've heard that you can put a second...

Is it possible to use, although not simultaneously, one Apple Studio TFT Display for two Quicksilver G4 Power-Mac's. How?

I've got a PM G4 733 Quicksilver with 1,28GB RAM and OS9.2.2 which is devoted for music making. Now I'm wondering, since my PC broke down last week and can't be fixed, if I can use my MAC for internet applications and 'Word' or if I should get a new PC/MAC for internet use only? What is better...

So my friend has this Roland W30 sampler and we did some drumloops with it and it sounded really good. So I was wondering if it was possible to get that punchy 12-bit sound through a Native Instruments KONTAKT or if it's a pretty impossible task? You can always de-bit the sounds in Kontakt, but...

There are lot of Filter boxes such as the Mutator, Sherman Filterbank, Electrix Filter Factory and the Waldorf X-Pole on the market. But which one do you think is the best? Which do you think is the most praiseworthy?

Hi, I'm looking for something that'll give me good analog tape saturation in the digital domain. Do you have any suggestions of FX units or plug-ins that'll get me this desired effect? I'm using the Digi001 and a 733 G4. I appreciate it, thanks!!

Midpriced microphone preamps and compressors? Hi, well I figured I might just spend a little more money getting a decent midpriced Microphone Preamp and and a nice Compressor instead of buying something cheap to replace my Joemeek VC1. As I see it there are a number of choices but if my budjet...

Hello, I have a JoeMeek VC1-preamp/compressor. It's the only outboard gear I have and I'm quite frankly sick of it since it colours the sound in a special way. I've been using it for everything from Bass and Voice to Guitars and Amps and I guess I want something more subtile and transparent...

Hello, I'm running a G4 733 with OS9 and the ProTools LE Factory. The Reverb plugin that came with the Factory Bundle doesn't do it for me, it's called D-verb. So I was thinking of maybe getting a new plugin reverb or maybe even a outboard reverb like a Lexicon one. I'm looking for extremely...

Hi, I'm running a MAC G4 733 Mhz, using ProTools LE and the Battery software with the DFM-samples. Today I bought 2 x 512Mb of RAM for my MAC, I've installed them and I also had 256Mb already, so now I have 1280Mb of RAM. I was told this would work perfect loading the DFH-kits in battery? Now...

I'm very interested in the Electronica genre and kind of like to get into creating some electronica music of my own. What do you guys think are the neccesary tools for creating electronica music? I kind of want some pointers to what kind of synths and sound modules I need, but also effect such...

I'm not sure if these two do the same thing, but if the do, which is the better one? The Kaoss is about twice as expensive as the AirFX, so put that in concideration to. Thanks...

What do you guys think, K2000 or Motif6? Which is the better one? They are almost the same price, used.

Is there anywhere I can find some Kurzweil K2000 demo songs? Or can you give me any pointers about good recordings done exclusively on this synthesizer? Thanks!
