I think I just made a pretty killer trade . . . . my newly acquired used Delta Blues for a used Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Just thought I'd share. :D

I'm looking at adding a software sequencer to my analog based studio. I would want to be able to record MIDI performances (synths, Vdrums, etc) and then using my synchronizer, play them back synced to my tape. Any thoughts on which program to grab? Free is always nice. I just downloaded reaper...

I was goofing on the Tascam site looking at their "legacy" gear. The 112 and 102 (both mk2) caught my attention. They say they are made to be "mixdown" or "mastering" decks, but they both have the whole 1/4 track stereo thing going on. Wouldn't a mix down/mastering deck have 1/2 track? Anyone...

I downloaded a software editor for my "new" Alesis Micron. With a computer monitor, software, and all the conveniences programing a simple set of bells was so hard! I still don't have them done. I'm a guitarist, not a synthesist or keyboardist, so the whole thing is new to me. I'm just floored...

I have an old Peavey Studio Chorus and I recently bought a Peavey Delta Blues. I'm not real keen on the reverb in the delta. I thought I'd swap the reverb tanks to see if it helped at all. Is there any chance that this will hurt my delta? If so, what can I look for to determine compatability...

I just got my rig all set up. Heading into my amp is a Big Muff germanium 4 distortion/drive pedal. I read one review where the guy said the drive was pointless and useless. I have to admit I'm having a hard time dialing in a drive sound with it. I can make it operate like a bright switch, a...

I know this is the "electric forum" but they are merging so I thought I'd post this here. If you are looking for an inexpensive acoustic I highly recomend that you try out the Yamaha FG-700S. It's a dreadnaught body with a solid spruce top. I'm not a gear head really, so I don't know all of the...

My Alesis micron came in and it was missing the power supply (which I knew.) I called radio shack, told them what I needed, and they told me to come in and pick it up. I should have checked it but I didn't. The Micron requires 9V 1.5A of AC power. The adapter was DC. It powered on, but produced...

I don't want to copy this guys sound. (I guess a lot of people try to "decode" other peoples patches.) But I am curious if the part of the sound that speeds up on each note is an example of an LFO at work or is it another effect? YouTube - Alesis Micron Complex FM Pad I am getting my first...

The manual and info online are not clear on this. Before I buy I'd like to know . . . When audio is being run INTO the mixer via USB, can you opt to not have it run through the mains? FOr instance, if I'm recording and I'm listening to my tracks on the computer do they automatically get put...

As some of you know; I had to sell my guitar rig in order to keep my family afloat financially. We filed our taxes and after starting a sizeable savings account and doing some other family-oriented stuff I will be getting a bigger/better rig. I'm so excited I want to share what I'll be doing...

I am back needing your input. This would be a gamble and I"m not even sure I'll room on my return trip for this beast, but . . . I found on CL this add for a 388 "Tascam 388- 1/4 inch 8 track reel to reel. The mixer works, but the reel to reel recorder isn't working. It was one day and then not...

The new incarnation of the AC15 has "two channels" but they are selectable by a double input. They have no toggle switch to move between them. If I were to run an A/B switch with cables running to both inputs, would switching between them work? Or would this screw up the circuitry somehow? I...

Read about something in anther thread that prompted my search. I found this site. Good Ear - Online Ear Training Site I hope it's helpful. Sorry for the brief post. GOtta run.

I'm interested in buying a synth, but a lot of my reasoning for wanting one is to process outside sources through the filters. Is there a way to buy a set of filters like you'd find in an old synth without the synth? Probably not, and probably dumb, but I thought I'd ask.

I'm daydreaming (like I always do) about recording sessions I want to do. If I were to record the rhythm (drums, bass, guitars, etc) on an 8 track; could I record multiple takes of a string section to a 1/2 track then fly it in with any kind of syncronization? I want to be able to do multiple...

Is there a noticeable difference in quality between a CD that was "pressed" vs a CD that is Burned? Assuming high quality masters etc? I'm just wondering if burning CDs as needed can be a viable option instead of paying for a pressing plant. I intend to do DIY packaging, so I don't need those...

This seems so logical to me, I just want to make sure I understand correctly. If one were to record a source such as a string quartet with the following set up: Two overheads (SDCs) and one mic centered on the group lower, about head level-ish. After panning the overheads to left and right...

So maybe this is a dumb question, but I haven't seen anything on it yet. What is the difference in 500 series racks/rack units other than just the size? Do they work differetnly or better? Or is it only a size/convenience thing?

So I have a question on generation loss . . . If one were to record all eight tracks on a 1/4" machine and then bounce them down to a 1/2track 1/4" machine . . . then re-record that stereo track to the eight track . . . .would this produce serious generation loss or would this be a feasible...
