    acid vs. vegas

    I know acid is geared more twords looping....and vegas is geared twords video production....but people have told me vegas is better for recording audio, why is it? I mean....acid is mainly for looping but it CAN record...so why use the video software over the audio looping software?

    sanding down frets

    I took a poorly setup jazz bass to my guitar guy...he straightened the neck out, got it set in there as well as a quirkly indonesian squire neck can be....but it still clicks. not NEARLY as bad as it used to...but it's still sort of bothering me. he said he was going to sand the frets down, but...

    2channel preamp.

    I record on a Yamaha MT8X cassette 8track (yeah, yeah...it was cheap and it's simple). I have a couple sm57s and a studio condenser I'm borrowing from a friends, I'm also borrowing a little mixer of his and using it for it's preamps...I'm looking to get a 2-channel preamp (I record electric...

    electric pianos

    I just bought a neat little chord organ off ebay (chord-o-dot). I started there since it was the cheapest. now I'm planning on grabbing myself an electric piano, and a QS6 or something to plop on top of it later on. As far as the piano goes...I've been looking at whurlys, rhodes, and early...

    drum brains.

    I just bought a set of pads, now I'm looking into brains. the thing that seems best would be to grab a used alesis DM5 off ebay or something...but I was wondering if there is a brain that you can import your own wav files into, because until now I've been using fruityloops and I've managed to...

    roland MA-8 vs. edirol MA-10/MA-5

    at the moment I can't afford anything better than these...should I spring for the MA-10s over the MA-5s and MA-8s? or would there not be much difference...if I go for the MA-5s or roland micro MA-8s...which one out of those two?

    notation software

    I'm playing around with this free little Finale NotePad 2002...it's a lot of fun, you pick out your time sig. your key, clef, instruments, then choose your notes/rests and click out a score, then you can print it out and play it back using little midi sounds... I was wondering if there's a...

    reason

    I dont' own a copy, and my current computer isn't good enough to run the demo (isn't that sad?)...but in the meantime, while I build up funds and equipment for a really solid home studio, I've decided to buy myself a legal copy of reason 2.0 and an oxygen8 midi controller and make some...

    protools and VST

    does protools support vst effects and instruments? I'd imagine it does, but I'm not sure. my current computer won't run the demo and I haven't found any posts on the subject.

    crappy soundtrack music!

    I went to the movies last week, saw a few flicks and paid special attention to the scores (for no reason)...then a few days later, I spent ten minutes fucking around...does this sound anything like soundtrack music to you people? http://discouragement.net/fourtrackdiaries/audio/song2.mp3

    usb vs. firewire

    I'm upgrading to digital recording...I was looking at getting a tascam us-428 with a fourchannel preamp to give it phantom power...I chose this because while computer literate and comfortable with software, I'm not clear on connections and whatnot, and it seems unthreatening...I could actually...

    critque me!

    I just started work on a song, it's not done, not mastered, it's not even mixed well...but I recorded it all in hour at the most...I think I like it, but I wanted to see what you guys had to say...I'd like some advice on the drums (not the levels or effects, but the samples and the actual loop)...
