I know I have seen threads on this in the past, yes I did a search, but it didn't yield the results I was looking for. What I want to know is if I can use the VF160 as a live mixer. My band is playing a pretty big gig soon and we are going to rent some PA stuff and I wanted to know how I could...

I went to guitar center today. They had a used strat that sounded great. It is an American Standard. I took the serial number and found out that it was made during 1993-1994. The price was $799. Is this a fair price? I know I won't get rock bottom price on used stuff there because there is...

I was helping my school design a studio and they just bought a firepod. I want to try to convince them to let me use it over the summer. I know it comes with cubase. I would probably only use cubase to record into and then use acid to edit with because I like acid. The thing I need to know...

I have been having a lot of trouble trying to make this thread so hopefully it works and I don't double post. I asked this in a someone elses thead about drum mics in the mic forum, but I thought I might get a better response in here. Thanks! Last night I was listening to AC/DC in a friends...

I am using my friend's vf160ex to record his demo. We have been having trouble where tracks that we record just disapeer. Sometimes nothing is on the track or sometimes something else that is old is one the track. For example on track 9 we recorded organ. We decided we didn't want organ and...

I am recording my friend's band right now. They just asked me to do their sound at their shows for them. I don't really know much at all about live sound, so I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips or links that have some good information. I tried to do a search on this website...

About a year ago I bought a little old silvertone acoustic guitar at a flee market for $15. The guy claimed that it was for the 1920's, but I am not sure. Is there anywhere I could use the serial number on it to find out how old it is?

On the way home from school today I was thinking about ways to make some money. I am pretty good at using photoshop and I have designed a few cd covers so I thought maybe I could start my own graphic design company. I don't know much about it and I don't have a degree or anything so I thought...

I want to build a cheap isolation tunnel for the kick drum so I can mic it a few feet back while still having isolation. Before I have made one with a blanket and two recycling bins, but that didn't cut it. I want to make one for very cheap. Any suggestions? What have you guys done for this?

I am considering selling some stuff on ebay. I was wondering how easy it is to sell stuff on ebay? I have heard some people say it is hard, while others have said it is pretty easy. I know lots of people on here have sold stuff on ebay so I was hoping someone could tell me their experiences...

I know someone looking to sell an Apple G4 450mhz computer. Would this be good for recording? Right now the only thing I can really use for recording is an old windows computer that I don't even have set up or anything. G4s are pretty new right? What else should I find out about it to see...

I am still pretty new at this stuff. Some friends of mine asked me to make them a demo so they could get some gigs. We wern't using very great gear, but I think this song came out well. It is still waiting for guitar solos. Please tell me what you think of the recording and the mix. I...

Does anybody know where I can get some cd cover templates on the internet. I am working in photoshop so I guess I am looking for psd files.

OK I have been recording some drums latley and I have been having a lot of trouble getting a decent bass drum sound so I was thinking I might want to use a trigger on it. What do I need to get to do this. I have a few bass drum samples that sound good. I also have acid pro 4. Do I need some...

I am mixing a friends demo. I am still a newbie and I am kind of confused on what settings to use on compression. What I am trying to do is just get the signals similar. For example on one song the drummer is pretty inconsistent when he hits his snare drum. I am trying to make all the levels...

I need to mix a demo for some friends. In my current situation I can only mix on either cheap little computer speakers or Sony MDR-7506 headphones. The headphones are good headphones, but I know it is not good to mix on headphones. Do you think I should mix on the headphones or on the...

All right, I am recording a band right now and we have finished recording the backing tracks. We now are ready to overdubb. We tried to record some vocals yesterday, but it didn't work. We could hear it in the headphones, but the actual channel didn't work. It wouldn't actually record...

This is a cover of Jimi Hendrix's song red house. It was recorded live in an untreated garage. We still need to record lead guitar, vocals and a hammond organ. The Mp3 version doesn't sound as good so if you want to hear the wav version of the song just leave your email here and I will email...

I recorded my friends band today. They were all in one room and we didn't have great equitment, but I think it came out all right. We want to record it again, and the vocals were only a scratch track. (Our condensers were on the drums) For all of this I think it came out all right. Oh yeah...

I am thinking about buying a drum set. It would be nice to have one for when people come over and also because I think I want to learn drums. I have played guitar for a few years and I am an ok rythym player. When I get on a drum set (only a few times) I can keep an easy beat, but I often...
