    Very High Pitched Noise!

    When plugging in my third monitor, I get this extremely high pitched noise. I've brought it down to the third monitor which runs on a USB to VGA converter. Whenever I unplug the power to the monitor it goes away. I plugged the power cable into a different circuit outside the room and the hissing...

    Acoustic Treatment, is my room "difficult"?!

    That's my room (note that my GoPro camera causes a fish-eye effect, the room isn't that big). I think it's about 25+ feet long (from window to door). Now I have this really bad bass problem I've always gotten and now I'm finally going to fix it. I also want to make this room acoustically...

    Cable Stuck!!!

    I was messing around with some cables after hearing about unbalanced and balanced lines and so forth. I plugged 2 1/4 cables into my firebox XLR/1/4 plugs. When I went to pull them out I couldn't. After tugging for a while I managed to get one out. There's still one cable in the firebox and I...

    2 firewire ports on Firebox!

    Hey I was wondering why there are 2 firewire ports on my firebox. If I run two firewire cables to my laptop from the firebox, will it improve the transfer speed?

    How does this sound?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUZPE_LZknM Yea I know that probably most of you here could care less about me ripping up a nice water hole but that's not what matters. I made the song (it isn't in sync with the video cause I was to lazy) but tell me how it sounds to you. Any suggestions. BTW...

    How to eliminate this "BUZZ"!

    Sample You can here it in the beginning. It's like a hum... ground loop problem or something else? What do you recommend to get as clean of sound as possible? Hum-x if it's ground loop? Using a presonus firebox with an active guitar DI'd via 1/4 plug. Thanks!

    Bass DI Box

    Before I buy anything I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing buying what I need. SO I have a active bass that I run direct (no amp) into my firebox. Now it sucks! It's to loud on some notes and crappy tone and you know... So I heard to get this baby...

    The Cloth Trick

    Hey Any of you guys use the cloth trick? It's where you wrap a clothe around the top of the neck and that mutes all unwanted noise when playing a solo. I find it necessary with a lot of delay otherwise I don't need it. Just a question, will this throw it out of tune?

    I need a compresser!

    Hey guys. I've been using a free vst plugin compressor and want something that actually helps with sound quality. Don't need anything special, 2 channels is enough. Was looking at this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Alesis-3630-Dual-Channel-Compressor-Limiter-with-Gate-100059904-i1125236.gc...

    Bass Picking up Buzz

    Hey so I got a bass tonight (first time I've ever played a bass, and I bought it). It's a Schecter Stiletto C-4 and I like it. However, when I recorded some bass tracks, I notice it picking up a lot of buzzing from the strings. It also picked up a lot of playing noise. Is this normal since I...

    The order of instruments...

    I have jumped into music with no idea what I'm doing. I've recorded some nice tracks and wondering if I'm doing everything right. What I'm doing is laying drum tracks down then guitar and then bass. I suppose there is no "wrong" way to record as the final product will sound pretty much the...

    Soundproof Door?

    I'm located in a spareroom, above a garage. It's pretty nice, great for a studio because I can do anything to it. The only problem I have is noise leaking through to inside the house. I don't exactly know where, but I suspect it's the door. The current door is a firedoor (outdoor door). The room...

    Firewire Interface and ExpressCard Firewire...

    I've created some topics on what USB interface to go with but changed my mind. I want to go with some high quality firewire. I use a laptop and just found the express port which I never knew existed (I ripped apart my laptop to find that a plastic insert was in it). So the plan is to plug this...

    My Biggest Battle

    I'll be screwing around recording some tracks and come out with a nice sounding song. Then I'll mix but when I go to listen to it, it's to quiet. I record direct into a Lexicon Alpha USB driver and it's a piece of junk. If I turn up the line in volume, I get some static and distortion. I can't...

    5 String Bass?

    I've been looking into some bass guitars and found this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Schecter-Guitar-Research-Stiletto-Extreme-4-Bass-528006-i1455911.gc#read-reviews I like it, and it seems to be a pretty decent guitar. I play electric and never have I played a bass so I don't want to get to...

    Direct Recording Audio Interface

    Hey! So it's been a long time since I've gone on these forums. I've been really getting into recording lately so I want to upgrade my audio interface. I need to go with USB since I'm using a laptop that doesn't have a firewire or soundcard capable of recording. Currently I have a lexicon...
