hey guys, i had a quick question about the way i'm using my monitors... right now, my active monitors are being fed from the Firepod, and i leave the volume control on the monitors up somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4 up, then i control the actual volume i hear with the Main Level knob on the...

well i finally got a computer that should be pretty strong for musical creation purposes. here's my list of new gadgets: ABIT KN8 SLI motherboard GIGABYTE GV-NX76T256D-RH video card 2GB Patriot Signature RAM Scythe S-Flex 120mm case fan (x2) AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 San Diego processor SAMSUNG...

i just got Samplitude V8 SE since it's pretty cheap and i'd like to upgrade to Samp Pro in the future. so far the program is great, but for some reason when i try to run Drumkit From Hell Superior it comes out sounding rather funny. i was previously running DFHS on Cubase LE, and had no...

Howdy everyone, it's been a really long time since my last post but i've been really busy (just recently became a small business owner :)) and haven't had much time for music lately. anyway, i was lined up to do a gig yesterday and my old amp crapped out on me. it kept blowing fuses, so in...

hey everyone, this isnt really about studio, since my question pertains to live sound application, but i didnt know where else to start this thread. anyway, my uncle has some equipment for live shows that he does with his band, and i was looking to help simplify his setup. as of right now, his...

ok this is really getting on my nerves. i'm running a Firepod and Cubase LE, and i can't get rid of the stupid crackling on playback! even when i'm only playing back one stereo track with minimal plugs (cpu usage below 10%), it still crackles. it pisses me off so bad i just want to smash...

is this thing worth checking out? i'm looking to get a decent amp for my studio that i can use for either clean or distortion. something not too huge and not too powerful, but still with a full, and somewhat versatile sound. my price ceiling right now is just about $400. thats for either a...

has anyone seen these things before? i think you'd have to be crazy to actually buy one....strange stuff... http://www.deweydecibel.com/guitarpage.html

well, i've been considering getting a Pod for a while, but then i read about the Line 6 TonePort in Tape Op, and it seems like a pretty interesting device. it seems to have some pretty good features, sort of like combining the Pod and Bass Pod, as well as vocal preamp modeling and effects and...

i have no idea how this got posted twice. :mad: please ignore.

when i record a track, i tend to record a few takes at once, and when mixing, i'll use the best one that i recorded. in Cubase, i can adjust the file so that it leaves out the part that i dont want, but is there a way to permanently delete the portion of the recorded track that i don't want to...

Well, for Christmas this year, i'd like to get myself an acoustic guitar. i was looking around at new ones, but then i considered that i would probably be better off getting a used one. as in well used. i would like to think that maybe an older guitar would have a better sound than a brand...

hey, my uncle has an old Yamaha bass amp, and it sounds like crap. the thing is, i don't really think it's supposed to sound like crap, so i'm assuming something might be wrong with it. the model is B100-115 II, it's a 100 watt (i'm assuming) 1X15 combo amp from circa 1980. it's also big and...

OK this is a very newbish question from me, but i'm still not quite sure how this works, i tried to search a bit but didn't find much of what i was looking for. anyway... i was wondering what exactly is the procedure for taking tracks that were recorded digitally and mixing them thru an analog...

OK, i have 2 80GB hard drives that are both empty, and i'm about to install windows on my "new" PC. one of the hard drives is an older 5400RPM WD Caviar 80GB, and the new one is a 7400RPM WD Caviar 80GB. i', assuming i should use the older one to install windows and all my programs and keep...

hey everyone, i've been looking for a small bass amp to use for practice and very small gigs, and i came across a used Ampeg SVT 150H head. i'm wondering if this thing will suit my needs, and if anyone has any experiences with it or comments to offer. i'm just wondering if it'll be loud enough...

this is kind of a long crazy rant, so feel free to ignore this post, :o [crazy rant] Ok everyone, this might seem kinda strange, but i think that i'm losing my mind here. as some of you may know, i have myself a new studio space that i'm in the process of setting up and treating. i think i...

Thanks to all those who have helped me during the process of planning out and putting together my home studio. i'll be using this thread to document my progress. i'll start from where i left off in my other thread which was entitled "Must My Room be Completely Dead?". so here's a pic from...
