i'm in the process of mixing and i've always had problems mixing the bass guitar and the kick drum properly. my biggest problem is this: i'll mix it using either the computer speakers or my flat response headphones. when i think i got a right mix, i'll burn it onto a cd, test it out on my car...

hi guys, been a long time since i posted on this board. i got most of my help from the great people here. BIG THANKS btw! we've finished recording our demo, and there are three songs uploaded on our site at www.astralis.iuma.com. i did most of the mixing, and i think i did pretty good...

my pickups have "duncan designed" written on the chrome cover. they sound good and i don't need to replace them, but i just don't like the writing--makes them look cheap. is lighter fluid a safe way to remove the writing without damaging the chrome? any other solvents that would do the job?

so, are they all the same pretty much? the most recent thing i've heard was that the unwounds all come from the same factory and are virtually all the same. the wounded strings are where they start to differentiate. right now i use gibson 9's vintage reissue (as recommended by Donna R of...

this is sort of a repeat of my question about removing paint off a solid body guitar. my friend said that instead of sanding the paint off, i should just strip it with some stripping fluid. but he can't remember the kind that will not harm the wood of the guitar. can anybody recommend a good...

our projects are getting pretty big since we've split the midi drum track into individual drum tracks. while adding the effects for each drum/cymbal, we've noticed that the CPU usage meter was getting past the 60 percent range. i've lowered my latency to 8.7 msec, but kept the rest at their...

i tried following alan's suggestion, but when i go to "options" in sonar, the "soundfont" option is grayed out. the file i have open has one midi drum track. right now the drum sound is very "computery" and i really wish i owned a TD-10, which is what we used to record the midi track. i'm now...

we recorded drum tracks using the Roland TD-10, but we borrowed it from a friend. now we don't have it anymore and it's way to expensive to buy right now. we tried using the roland sound canvas software as a sound bank for the drums but it sounds horrible (compared to the TD-10 at least)...

my bass player got a good (or maybe even great) deal on a gallien-krueger 700RB/115 (225W) last night. the reason mainly is because of the dent on the cone. there are no holes, and the dent is not at the center of the cone. he tried it out before buying and it sounded fine except for a couple...

can anybody refer me to a website that has instructions on stripping and painting electric guitars? i have a cort les paul custom copy that got vandalized (minor, but it bothers me) and i decided to give it a new finish altogether. my drummer is a set designer by trade, so he knows how to work...

My drummer and I recorded drum tracks using a Roland V-drum kit equipped with a TD-10 drum brain. The kit belonged to a friend of mine who will be busy for the next couple of weeks, so we can't use his drum brain to finish the rest of work. We're using Cakewalk's Sonar 2.0 XL. Right now the...

my drummer and i finally succeeded in recording an electronic drumkit into a midi track, and then splitting the notes to tracks and dumping them into audio tracks. but looking ahead, we realized that it would be a very long process come this thursday when we go to my friend's house and use his...

i'm looking to get one of these preamps. anybody have any experience with any of these? are they any good? 1. ART Tube model 127 (and the one above it) 2. MAudio AudioBuddy dual mic preamp w/ phantom power and direct box (don't know what those two features mean) 3. Rolls CL151 GLC 4. DBX...
