Does anybody own the commercial version of this? I'm pretty impressed by what I hear from the free version and the mp3s they list. It seems like a good alternative to DKFH, for those on a more stringent budget.

Are there any free tutorials or lessons on how to use Reason? It's a bit overwhelming. I'm fooling around with a demo right now, not sure if I want to buy it yet. I did a search and all I could find were videos that you can buy that teach you it.

are they even worth the bother? $50 from musician'ss friend. They seemed to have gotten pretty good reviews, so long as my luck holds out and it doesn't get wrecked in shipping. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/511196/ I've always wanted to learn the mandolin...

My uncle just gave me his Peavey 'Data Bass' bass amp, with a Black Widow 15" in it. Amazing amp, I love it. Would it be a bad idea to play my guitar through it? My current guitar amp is a little Fender Champ with a 10" speaker, but I was looking for something louder. I figured I'd experiment...

When I put a new set of strings on my guitar, they're good for about a week to 2 weeks and then they get crud all over them. It looks like rust, but it can be wiped mostly clean with an oiled rag (I use Dr. Duck's AxWax , which doesn't actually contain any wax). Is this natural? Is the sweat...

What do I do?

...that might be cheaper? Only thing I can think of is using free samples and a sampler, but I was just curious if there were any other cheap/free solutions. I wish my job paid more so I can both support myself AND have some spending money :rolleyes: . Oh well..

How would I rig a tape deck into my rig for some distortion? And would it just be a subtle overdrive, or full blown distortion?

First of all, I have n-Track 4.0.5. I added a MIDI interface that I borrowed from my dad and had it working with n-Track, but I had to give it back. Now whenever I hit the record button (whether of not I have any MIDI tracks) I get a message saying "Error openning MIDI In device". Nothing bad...

I'm in the market for a small mixer in the price range of <$150 for my solo projects. I'd like something with decent mic-pres. I've heard many good things about the Yamaha MG10/2, but I was wondering what everyone else recommended.

I've been reading Mixerman's diaries and he talks about a digital workstation he calls Radar. Apparently it's the only digital unit he thinks sounds good. I was just wondering what this unit is. http://www.prosoundweb.com/recording/mm/week1/mm.php I know Alsihad is Pro Tools, and he doesn't...

How can you tell if there's some phasing going on in a song? Are some frequencies cancelled out? I had posted a song a while ago and was told there was some phasing and I don't really know how to detect it.

When you sweep pick, say, an E major chord like this: e|-----------4-------------- B|---------5---5------------ G|-------4-------4---------- D|-----6-----------6-------- A|---7---------------7------ E|-------------------------- do you barre the 4th fret and roll your finger or do you fret it...

Ignore the shitty vocals for now. And the imposter sitar. I just want feedback on the acoustic guitar sound. I'm using an Audio-Technica ATM-31 SDC on the 14th fret pointed towards the hole a bit. The only processing done to it was a little bit of EQ: Cut below 80Hz, boost around 200Hz, boost at...

Aside from Dmusic, Myspace and Purevolume, what sites do you guys use to post your music? There seem to be a bunch of places, I wanted to go through them a bit before I start using one. I'll probably end up making an account at all or most of them, for the widest audience.

Is there a way to get rid of background hiss electronically without the use of a gate? In the past, I've cut frequencies where the hiss is most prominent, but that also carves out that frequency from the track. Gates are nice, but only remove hiss from areas without music. I suppose there may...

I've been wanting this card for a while now, and my dad claims to have seen it for $79 somewhere, but everywhere I look only has it for $89 or up. I'd prefer to buy the card new rather than used, so if anyone's selling an unopenned package, I'd be interested.

I found out about these from a link someone posted in another thread. They seem to have decent specs, but that means nothing in the real world, haha. I checked out the reviews at harmony-central, but there were only 3 for the particular model I wanted, the AL-2500. It's an LP copy, and the one I...

Last year I made a switch from my old Powermac 4400 (RIP) to a PC. On the Mac, I had a piece of software called the Amazing Slow Downer which could slower an audio file down for me to practice with. Is there any software like that for Windows? I have Any Time, but it takes forever to do...

I figure if you can compare Squier to Epiphone, then Jackson to ESP isn't too much to ask. Both companies seem to make awesome metal axes, which do you prefer? Please note that older Charvels don't count as Jacksons, and the ESPs are the LTD models.
