I finally got my POD! Sounds even BETTER than I expected. I have been told that you can download presets off the Net. Anyone know where? I haven't been able to find anything about it.

http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/6246/3.htm approx. 440KB This is the intro to a song I've been working on for the past couple days. The first phrase of the guitar solo sounds kinda weird to me but I'm not sure if it's my tired ears deceiving me or not. Does it sound bad (meaning, should...

I put this in the mixing forum but thought it would be appropriate here as well: Right now my setup goes like this: SBLive out --> Technics Receiver SA-R477 (100w/channel) --> shitty Sony 2-way 4" woofer speakers taken off one of those 'mini-component' systems. My speakers suck; I believe...

Right now my setup goes like this: SBLive out --> Technics Receiver SA-R477 (100w/channel) --> shitty Sony 2-way 4" woofer speakers taken off one of those 'mini-component' systems. My speakers suck; I believe they are the weakest link in the chain. At the same time my other equipment isn't...

I'm gonna make my own pop-filter. I found a place that sells those cross-stitching hoops that you can use as a frame for the pop-filter. About how big (diameter) should the frame be?

Is the Roland Sound Canvas any different from normal sound modules or is it just another sound module? Just curious because it's been getting a lot of hype around here and I wasn't able to find much info on Roland's website.

Here's an old song written by a friend of mine that I arranged for him recently. When I was done arranging it and showed it to him he didn't seem very pleased. Just wondering what you guys think. http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/6246/2.htm

I have a SBLive Value running Cake9. In the past I have always been recording 44.1/16 bit. I tried changing the bit depth and the sample rate but have gotten limited results. It seems that I can't record anything above 16 bit. I tried to change Options/Audio/Audio driver bit depth, but...

OK, I know I have sort of asked this before, but this time I need answers quick! The local POD distributer is having a special on PODs until the end of this month (tomorrow). The special is: buy a POD at full price and get a free FB4 footswitch. OR get a POD without the footswitch for about...

Does anyone know if preamps (stand-alone or the preamps on integrated amplifiers) tend to color sound? Would it be a bad idea to buy a pair of monitors and power them with an integrated amplifier? Or do I need to feed my mixer/soundcard output directly to an amplifier without passing thru a...

Has anyone ever heard anything about Magnet amplifiers? Are they any good?

I don't own a POD yet. But I might in the near future. Now, I was wondering: In theory, for live shows whether in halls, pubs, stadiums, whatever, you could just plug your POD into the PA and wouldn't need an amp at all. (I think). I was wondering if anyone has actually tried this and how...

Well, here it is, my first post. I don't really have great equipment so this is far from a 'good' recording. My setup: I have a computer w/ SBLive card running Cake 9. A Fostex mic that I borrowed from a friend, and a really old Tascam 244 4-track recorder that I use for its preamps/mixer...

When using the midi sounds from a soundcard, where you may have only 2 snares and a few crappy sounding toms, what can you do to get realistic sounding drum fill-ins? I'm using a sblive and have tried various soundfonts but have been unable to get satisfactory drum fill-ins. Are there any tips...

I thought this would be easy but it turned out differently. I wanted to convert an 8-bit wav to 16-bit. In soundforge i could only find "convert to 8-bit", i didnt' see anything about converting to 16-bit from 8-bit. Help.

I've heard that NT has "some direct x limitations" can anyone clarify what sort of limitations?

Hello. In the near future I am going to be recording a solo violin. In the past I've only recorded guitars and vocals. Would recording a violin be similar to recording an acoustic guitar? Any tips on mic positioning, compression, effects and the like would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Was out window shopping the other day and came across a Creative "Blasterkeys" midi keyboard for a very low price. Does anyone know anything about it? I haven't been able to find any info about it on the web. thanks

Hello. I use cakewalk 9.0 as my sequencer and an old yamaha PSR keyboard as my 'MIDI keyboard'. The problem is that I have no sustain pedal. This becomes problematic when I'm trying to record legato passages (especially piano parts). Is there a way I can simulate a sustain pedal? Or do I...
