    Mixing and Mastering for vinyl

    After reading this article http://www.urpressing.com/master_more.php i'm curious if one should change anything in a mix if you plan on releasing to vinyl. If one would make changes, would these changes still need to be made if the mix was done from and to tape? Would you mastering engineers do...

    Future Vintage?

    I've been wondering about this lately so I thought I'd throw it out to you all... These days there is a huge market for quality guitars from the 40s-70s. Do you think that in 40 years or so, there will be a market for "vintage 2008" guitars? Or are we so far into the mass market age that todays...

    DIY Spring reverb

    Ok, so I'm convinced I want to build a reverb from scratch. I don't know a ton about electronics and if my preliminary research is correct, this should be a simple enough intro to building stuff. However, I have some questions. 1. running two piezo transducer to the output should give me...

    Mellotron/Chamberlin???

    I don't know where else to put this. Anyone know where one might find/buy one? I can't find anything online. Just browsing right now but I really want one. Thanks. -Nate

    (possibly) subjective acoustic question

    I know that this question will be somewhat subjective, and I don't even know if it's a realistic scenario. But here we go . . . . If we used a purely acoustic guitar with no cutaway as a baseline; would the same guitar with electronics installed sound different? What about if the same model...

    Blueridge Guitars

    Has anyone heard of these guitars? They seem to be a decent quality. Of course each guitar is different, but as a brand do you know anything about them?

    Entry Level??

    I'm doing some shopping for low-priced but high-value acoustic guitars. One term that keeps coming up (and not just in this search) is "good entry level guitar." WTF do people mean by that? I'm by no means new to playing guitar, though maybe a little newer to really learning about them. Does...

    96 Les Paul Studio...

    I found this post on my local CL. I would most likely try to use this as an opportunity to "flip" it or something. I could use a new recording amp, so maybe try to sell the LP/amp for more. What are your thoughts on the price? Thanks.

    Have you ever . . . .

    Have you ever been mucking around with your instrument of choice, had a beautiful (or brutal) riff, or progression, or whatever going, started to work out a melody and realized "I know this song from somewhere.....FUCK!!!"???? I was messing with my guitar today, a cool little moody fingerpick...

    Amazing "new" plug ins

    I was searching through old threads and found some hillarious "plug ins" and "emulators" so I thought they needed their own thread. Add some more please. Here are some of my favorites!!! I'm pretty sure we need a "gel" plug-in (aka the "chemistry" plug) so when a bunch of people lay down...

    Rondo Acoustics?

    I know Rondo Guitars get a lot of praise around here. Has anyone tried any of their acoustic guitars? What are you thoughts? I appreciate it.

    Pickup Selector Switch Scratchy/dropout

    So I've never really done any work on guitars, however, I thought that helping my dad out would be a good first project. His cheap Strat knock off is scratchy when switching P/UPs and occasionally the sound will drop out. I figured this would be a dirty switch/dirty connections. So I opened it...

    Approximate value of this guitar?

    Do any of you know the approximate value of this guitar? I know it's hard from the few photos there and without seeing it. Just a rough idea. Thanks guys http://sd.craigslist.org/msg/1395198122.html

    Dumb question on SMPTE codes

    I'm about to start a session tomorrow and will (for the first time) be utilizing my JL Cooper PPS-100 in conjunction with my drum machine. When the PPS instructions tell me to "program" the SMPTE time that I want the song to start can I just look at the time on the tape? I mean does the SMPTE...

    Stupid Question on File Types

    I really feel dumb asking this ....but here it goes..... What file type is used on commercial CDs? I read somewhere that it involved a ".CCD" and two others, but I'm not sure if that's right. I guess, if I wanted to burn off a CD that is commercial quality what file type would I want to use...

    Condesor Mic on guitar amp?

    I know most people use SM57s or some other dynamic or ribbon mic, but I don't have one right now. I've got two Naiant XQ condensors and a CAD LDC. Is there any reason I can't/shouldn't record a solid state amp at normal recording (i.e. low) volume with one of these mics? The other option is to...

    "Vintage style" strat tuners

    Does anyone have any tips on how to not waste a ton of strings with these things? My "Deluxe Players" Strat came with them and when I tried to restring it I wasted 3 high "E" strings because they kept popping out. Then in the middle of practicing today my B string came out and I wasted my last...

    Fender Champ 12

    Does anyone have any experience with this amp? I found one cheap online and I don't really have the option of trying it out. I'll look for sound sound clips online, but I thought I'd get your thoughts. I'm looking at a champ 12 for $300 or I could score a Blues JR for 250. I'm looking for...
