The PreQ of course has EQ goodies built in there, but the Mark 3 has a few goodies which the previous Pre73 versions did not have, boosts, filters and switches and stuff. I would appreciate it if someone who understands these things better than I - which would include just about everyone in...

Both Silver and Gold are on sale, and I'm in the market, but know little about them. Are the Gold that much better sounding? Are there other strings I should consider? I'm not doing symphonic stuff, just dressing up various types of pop songs, but I want a good sound. Thank you.

I'm going to buy a few plugins before the year is out. Regarding compressors - about which I know next to nothing - I want to know which type to buy for - mostly - vocals, but also overall duties. I see that compressors tend to be emulating hardware legends: LA-2A & 3A, FET 1176, etc.. Which...

I bought my first iLok (3) the other day but have not opened the package. I was reading a discussion about some plugins today, and there came an exchange about browsers: how Firefox didn't work for someone so they had to use IE. I really didn't follow what was going on, so I'll ask y'all: do...

I need a few plugins. I came across a Waves plugin [[ Waves Scheps 73 Native/SG Software Download | Musician's Friend ]] which description included: ""This version made for Waves SoundGrid."" I am unfamiliar with SoundGrid, searched it, but could not figure out what it means in practical...

I was about to buy a TC Electronics Hall of Fame reverb pedal and I thought that I would check with y'all first. If you can recommend a pedal of equal or superior quality, suggest away! This pedal is for recording guitar, wet. (I know, I know.....) Also, if you have any preferences between...

If I record a track at about -6 peak, the recorded result will be 15 db. lower. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I don't see Roland interfaces mentioned much in forums such as this one or similar. I see that they have models including the Quad Capture, Octa-Capture, Studio Capture, and the Super UA USB, the latter having sold about zero units and being reviewed nowhere. I think it may have been aimed at...

SOS has a list of methods. Besides the Real Thing, which do you prefer and use? Thanks. Double-tracking Vocals |

I've been using a Presonus AudioBox. My understanding from rumour and innuendo is that to get a better interface - which basically means a better analog-to-digital converter - you have to go up to the RME Babyface or its competitors, for somewhere between $700 and $1000. That raises some...

I get glitches on tracks which are difficult to replicate or replace. Example: I had an acoustic guitar track which took 12,000 takes (+ or -) and on playback, it was indeed the best track - except for the bit where I lightly kicked the mic stand. Also, hand squeaks on the guitar neck are...

I have acquired this simple old amp, and I know nothing of the electronics. There is a small tube behind the 6L6 tube on the right; otherwise, what you see is about all there is. So, apart from the tubes themselves, what are those component thingies? Thank you.

does it want a guitar cable or speaker cable or does it matter? (I haven't used an external preamp before.) Guitar>>preamp>>interface. Thank you.

I'm not satisfied with VST guitar stuff, and my tube amp is good, but too loud for home cranking, being 36 watts. There are some small amps around the 5 watt range, but I don't know if there are low wattage modelling amps. If anyone here is knowledgeable on this subject, please enlighten me...

I have Windows 7 Home Premium on my new DAW. I find that I have need to remotely connect another computer in the house occasionally. My two options are to use one of the free VNC softwares available, or, for $50 or so, to upgrade to Win 7 Pro, which has Remote Desktop Connection built in. So...

I'm still getting things seet up in my new (Gigabyte W7) DAW and the power settings right now have a sleep mode (which I may disable later.) Last night, it would not come out of sleep mode. Even the power switch would not work, I had to pull the power cord. Even if I am going to change the...

Are there any worth a hoot? I think that Microsoft is close to not caring about anybody except phone users, which wil lbe a business decision and not a moral one which will hurt my feeling, but I think it may happen. Linux, anyone? I don't know anything about the stuff, except that users...

I've been using an external 750 GB Seagate (USB 2) as the data drive with my laptop for recording. For my new DAW desktop, I have ordered the same drive to be the #2 HD, internal usually being better than external. Then I thought: I wonder if there is any reason to keep that drive external...

The shop building my DAW charges $60 to install Windows with the build (Win7 Home Premium, 2 hard drives.) I see zillions of videos, Microsoft Instructions, etc.. I'm not techie, but surely your average dolt can install Windows 7 without mucking it up, eh?

If a fanless card heats up more than you like, might the situation be resolved by installing a small fan to cool it? Has anyone here done that? Thanks
