Hey all, sorry... I would've just sent a PM to Light, but you can't send pics in a PM. Anyway, I was wondering if Light (or anybody) could give me a ballpark estimate on what it would cost to fix this paint chip on the neck of one of my guitars. Also, there is a crack in the paint around the...

Anyone else using these? Last week I stumbled into the Dunlop website for some strange reason and saw these: http://www.jimdunlop.com/products/picks/products/ultex/index.html They piqued my interest so I bought a couple (.73 and 1mm) to check them out. Man, these are some sweet picks! I've...

I’m in the process of recording a friend’s band. We have most of the tracking done and I’ve recently started mixing a couple of the songs. Anyway, I’m having a tough time getting the kick drum to cut through the mix. I’m pretty sure this is a result of the bass guitar and kick drum competing for...

How do you identify if a Strat body is American/Mexican/Japan? How can you tell what year it was made? Are there any websites with all this information? Are there any warning signs to look for that indicate a clone/copy? Can I ask any more questions? :) Cheers!

Hey all, I'm recording a friend's band this weekend. Yesterday we recorded some of the guitar tracks. I've only been at this home recording thing for about six months. Over that time, I haven't had much luck getting a guitar tone on tape that I realy like. Anyway, I think I've finally...

This is my second post to the Clinic. I posted the unmixed version of this song a couple months ago and didn't really get any feedback. This was my first attempt at recording and mixing a whole band. I recorded this song for some friends and didn't write or perform anything. I would love to...

Here's a fairly interesting story about Robert Johnson's gravesite. Not a ton of historical facts, but a fairly entertaining read. http://www.msnbc.com/news/970914.asp?0ql=c8p

I'm looking for the definitive book on chords. I'm not talking about a beginners book that explains the structure of chords, etc. I want a book that explains chords in the context of chord progressions... chord resolution, etc. I guess I'm looking for a book on "applied chords" rather than an...

I'm sure this topic has been covered many times before, but a search of "Sound Fonts" and "Session Drummer" wasn't much help. I want to use sound fonts with session drummer. Can you do this? I'm running sound fonts through my SB Live. I have attached the Blue Jay kit to channel 10. I have a...

Man, I'm just posting this to brag a little. My Budda Superdrive 30 Series II 2x12 just got delivered yesterday. WOW! I've been playing guitar for 15 years. I've owned many different amps all low to mid-level price ranges. My previous amp was a Marshall 100 watt valvestate combo. This is my...

Man, these things have haunted me. I have a decent understanding of music theory-- but I am wanting to learn more chords with different flavors. Not neccessarily exoctic jazz chords or anything... just different positions of the common chords. So I stumbled on a pretty good website...

I was just pondering this yesterday and I was curious what other guitarists thought. If I had to use two words to describe guitar playing in the 80s, it would be "power chord." I mean, everybody from Motley Crue to Poison to Ratt to Quiet Riot utilized power chords in almost every song. So I...

Hi all, I had a marathon recording session yesterday. I recorded three songs my ex-bandmates wrote so they could have a demo and I could get practice. I don't have any studio monitors yet so I haven't mixed these songs. However, I thought it would be cool to post my pre-mixed tracks to get...

OK, newbie quesiton here. I was wondering how everyone get's their drum mics into their PC? Here is what I want to do (and what I assumed was the industry standard): I want a separate track (in Sonar) for each mic on the drum kit (5 mics). I have a Behringer mixer, MX-802A (and getting a...

Hi all, This saturday I've got a recording session set up at a friends house to record his drums. No kids, no wives... just me, the drummer, and a 12-pack of Sam Adams... it's going to be great! This is my first time trying to seriously record a drum kit. I'm a newbie to pc recording and I'm...

Hi all, I guess this is more of a philosophical question about mixing but I'll certainly accept unsolicited advice about this specific situation... hehe. I've recording a pretty simple song with two acoustic guitar tracks and a couple vocal tracks. The "main" guitar part is pretty dynamic...

Hi all, This thread may be better suited for the Mixing forum, my apologies if I've got the wrong board. I'm wanting to apply some reverb to vocals. I have been playing with the reverbs that come with Sonar 2XL and cannot find anything I like. However, I have a Rocktron Intellifex LTD in my...

I’ve got the Audiophile 2496 and the SB Live in a 2.4GHZ P4 system and I use Sonar 2XL to record. The only reason I have the SB Live is for games, multimedia, etc. I disable the SB when recording so I won’t have any problems but I would like to listen to playback through the speakers (I don’t...

This is actually a two-part question-- I'm not sure if this is the right thread for the second question, but I'll give it a go. I recently received my new MXL-v67B and have been enjoying this new toy. This is my first condensor mic and WOW what a difference! Anyway, last weekend, during my...

Hi people, There really isn't much information on this forum about Budda amps. Since I'm in the market for a new amp, I was wondering what you people thought of them. Here's my situation: I live in Oklahoma City and there is not a store in the state that carries Budda amps. In fact, I think...
