I don't know how uncommon this request is, but I'm looking to hire a female singer for a recording; a one-time only thing. What I would do is send her an instrumental track MP3, and she would record herself singing along to it, and send the vocal track back to me. I would also send an example...

Greetings all, I am extremely unknowledgeable so please bear with me as I try to explain this.. I do not like my keyboard's sound. Using my MIDI cables and Cakewalk Music Creator 2003, I can have the keyboard sound playing through my SB Live! sound card's MIDI. That is better, however, I...

I am looking for a 88 key piano keyboard, with weighted keys, preferably with a stand and pedals. I need it to have a nice, realistic piano sound. I currently have a Casio six octave keyboard that I am very dissapointed with (it was great when I bought it, but after using the Roland keyboards...

yeah, I've actually had the POD 2.0 and floorboard for a few months now but I don't think I am using it to its potential. I just installed the SoundDiver software, and I am confused :confused: Well, I'd like to get sounds of other musicians... I was able to get the settings of Stevie Ray...

need opinions and advice on this mp3 I have been playing guitar for over four years now and am going to perform for my beginner piano class. Here is an mp3 of what I am going to play, but it sounds just too boring and too long. There are no words because I can't sing. Yes it was poorly...

Looking for a 6-steelstring acoustic-electric guitar -- $400 and under. Suggestions and advice are welcome.

What does it mean when you plug something in to the first click and when you plug something in all the way? This is probably different with TS and TRS i suppose.

Anyone know of where I can get a long cable to hook up my mixer to my computer? I have a Monster 2 1/4" -> 1/8" miniplug, but it is only 6 ft, and I want to move the computer further away. Or shoudl I just keep the computer nearby because of loss in quality?

I have the Line6 POD which has a setting called 'tube preamp' so I can hook up other instruments.. Would a bass guitar be okay for this? I know they make a seperate bass pod, but I'd like to use mine unless there's a good reason not to.. Thanks

I need a 1/8" stereo --> 2 1/4" mono.. cable of a decent quality. Hard to find.. ps - for the time being, If I take a 1/8" cable, a 1/4" cable, a knife, scissors and some tape.. cut, slice, and put together, will that sound like trash?

I just recieved my pair of Event PS-6 studio monitors from Music123, on the basis of all the good comments I've read. On the box it says they are Direct Field. I need monitors that I can sit in front of, I don't have much space, and I cannot turn these up loud. So, I need Nearfield, right? I...

Hmm, so I'm getting the Mackie 1202 VLZ-Pro.. What am I looking for that will let me hook it up to my sound cards' 1/8" Line In? Anything else I need? edit: oh, and if you have reccomendations on a brand and place to get it from, along with other instrument & mic cables, that would be...

okay, so I want to record a small band "live" with a Mackie 1202 mixer -> computer, at a friends house. The thing is, I don't want to lug amps there and mic them. I want to send the guitar and bass straight to the mixer. So, is there a way that all of us can listen to what's playing, and sing...

Okay, I've spent a good amount of time searching through this bbs looking for relevant posts, and I think I'm getting closer to buying. Thanks for the responses to my previous post. I'm Pretty sure on: Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro mixer Shure 57 and/or 58 mics One of the popular multitrack programs...

Hi, novice here, and I want to get started, from scratch.. I want to buy a mixer/multitrack, mics, stands, cables, guitar effects, etc. I think I've decided on the mic: Shure SM57, and for the guitar a Line 6 Recording POD. However, I have no idea about the mixer/multitrack.. I am pretty sure...
