I need a compressor for two use: live, my singer likes to shout loud sometimes, but some other times he likes to whisper, this gives use problems when trying to rehearse because, if we want to hear him all the time we have to bring the gain up, but when he screams he clips the power amp and the...

Ok, suppose I have a drum kit miced with 4 mics (bass drum, snare, 2 OHs) and the sound is pretty good. But suppose I have a 5th mic available, actually a dynamic AT Midnight blue (the cheap ones). Also, suppose I do have an extra input on my stereo mixer... What would I do with the 5th mic? I...

I'm using Cakewalk PA 9, this weekend I recorded a set of drum on a single stereo track, but I made a mistake, I panned the drum the wrong way (I want to have the stereo imaging from the drummer's perspective, ride cymbal at the right, hi-hat at the the left, etc, I recorded the opposite). How...

Did you guys check out the Delta 44? It's exactly what I need, but I can't find pricing info... www.midiman.com

We have a song for which I need a REAL Strat sound, but I don't have a Strat. My main axe is a Godin LGX which is similar to a Les Paul, the pickups can be split on it but the sound is anything but convincing. My second axe is a Yamaha RGX tuned to Drop-D, fortunately I have a 3rd guitar, a...

I just got a new Yamaha Pacifica guitar, a 120S to be exact (probably the cheapest "good" sounding guitar ever), it has a telecaster like body, but without pickguard and two Yamaha humbuckers. Even though it's a real cheap guitar, I kinda like its sound, but I find it lacks low-end punch. The...

What about the Gadget Labs Wave/424 sound card, is it any good? I figure it's probably not the best sounding card there is (at 269$), but I want to start with a cheaper lower-end card and upgrade later, I have a mixer so I don't need a card with mic pre's.

I hope someone here can help me. I have a Yamaha guitar (RGX621D) with a HSH configuration (2 humbuckers (neck, bridge) and a single coil in the center). I bought a new pickup, a Duncan SH-1 '59 humbucker to replace the bridge. The pickup has 5 wires (red, white, green, black, and one that has...

I was browsing through Fender's website, I noticed that an American Strat is more than twice the price of a Mexican Strat. What is the difference between two? I can understand that the American model is probably better built, but we're talking 1500$ vs 650$ here (for a Deluxe Fat Strat). Is the...

What is the advantage of having a guitar with a set-neck vs a bolt-on neck? I want to buy a Schecter C-7 guitar, which has a bolt-on neck, but there's also the slightly more expensive C-7 Plus which has a set-neck. Is it worth it to shell out the extra dough? And what is the difference? I mean...

Suppose I have only 3 mics to mic a drum kit, of course I have to put one in the bass drum, but what should I do with the 2 left? Use them for overheads (X-Y configuration) for stereo imaging, or one for snare (and hit-hat) and an overhead. I want to get a good snare sound, but I want stereo...

I'm in the market for a combo amp that would give a really good distortion sound. It seems every metal band that have a great distortion sound (mainly Metallica) are using Mesa Boogie amps. So I tried a Nomad 55 and it was quite a good amp, sounded terrific for soloing, but was very muddy in the...

I'm in the market for a 1X12 or preferably a 2X12 Combo. Something with balls (I play mostly heavy music and I want GAIN, lots of it). I was thinking about getting a Rectifier serie combo from Mesa Boogie. But I don't want to restrict myself to one choice, I'd like to hear some sound samples of...

Right now I working in 16-bit/48KHz because that's all my soundcard will do (Yamaha OPL3-SA chipset). I have a Seagate Medalist Pro HD that spins at 7200RPM (fast-IDE). According to the little utility program on Echoaudio's website, I can do 20tracks at the same time. If I get a 24/96 sound card...
