    Interesting Recording Techniques

    I was reading about one of my favorite bands today (Switchfoot) and the history behind some of their songs. They mentioned that for one song they had a standard electric going into an amp. Then in front of that amp they put an acoustic that had the open-tuning of the key the song was in. THEN...

    Question about Jamvox

    What's up everybody? :D Just wanted to drop in here and see if anyone has ever used the Jamvox before. I've got an opportunity to buy good-quality one from a friend for pretty cheap, but the guy lives far away so I can't test it out. Anyone have an opinion on it? And also, my friend said he...

    How Low Can You Go? Laptop Volume Problems

    Ok, I'm putting this in here, cause having this problem makes me feel like a noob. :D And yeah, so I know it isn't really a recording problem, but it's got to do with my computer. :o Up until about 3 weeks ago, my headphone jack on my laptop (hp pavilion dv6) was working fine. I could plug...

    Low Audio Problems With Headphone Jack

    Yeah, so I know it isn't really a recording problem, but it's got to do with my computer. :o Up until about 3 weeks ago, my headphone jack on my laptop (hp pavilion dv6) was working fine. I could plug in headphones/earbuds/speakers, and they would be nice and loud at around 40% of the computer...

    Question about Modes

    So my friends and I were jamming last night, and were playing a song that has D-Am-C-G as the verse chords. Now, if you asked me what key that song was in, I'd probably say G. One of my friends mentioned something about the mixolydian scale in D though, so that would probably be correct...

    tuning drums is my kryptonite...

    I've been drumming for about a year, but I've never taken lessons or anything. Just kinda watched drummers I admire and practiced a lot :D Too bad I never see them tune their drums...I'm sure it would help me a lot. Needless to say, I'm not a great drum tuner ;) My kit currently sounds like...

    Rhyming Dictionaries??

    Anyone here use one? I was considering buying one, not so much as I'm short on rhymes, but rather just to maybe expand my vocabulary some more and get some more ideas. If you do have one, what brand? Thanks!

    Musing on the Melody

    Soooooo is it just me or do some of you people also have quite a bit of trouble coming up with a good melody for songs? I guess it's just a lack of creative vision on my part, but I struggle a lot of the time with keeping the melody fresh when it comes to the melodic rhythm and/or actual notes...

    Shure 55S

    So I found an old Shure 55S that used to belong to a church, and they said I could have it (yay), but I was looking at the connections, and it doesn't have an xlr female on it...it looks similiar (still 3 holes) but they're in slightly different positions. I'd estimate the mic to be about 25ish...

    Mic Cables

    So I've been looking around online at different mic cable sets, and I just can't find what I'm looking for! I'm in search of cables for my drum mics, but it's getting a bit frustrating. It seems the only brands music stores are selling are either Horizon or Monster, and Monster is a bit out of...

    Another Condenser Noob Thread

    So. Is there even a LDC that is capable of getting good recordings of both acoustic and vocals for around $200? I've been researching alot (pretty sure I destroyed the search button), and I'm starting to think it's not possible..:( I checked out the CAD m179, and it looks nice, but I was...

    Upcoming Monitor Purchase

    Soooooo... KRK Rokit 5's or Yamaha hs50m's?? I'm looking at both of these, and I know the yammies are more expensive, but I've read that they can weaken bass quite a bit and people tend to over-compensate. A friend of mine has the KRKs and is happy with them, but I figured I'd take my...

    Mixing Guides

    Hey everybody! I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good mixing guides online! Anyone know of any great, quality ones? I know the basics, but I asked because I feel like there's always something else I can learn :D Either plain old text or video is cool!

    blast from the past--speakers

    So I recently acquired a pair of speakers that I find pretty interesting...they say "Ambassador" on them and have a "Maximus Sound" logo. The best I could find on them was an ad for them in a mag from 1966... Anyone ever heard of/used these things? I'm in the market for a power amp, and I was...
