    http://www.indecisionomaha.com/audio/gg.wma Some local studios are sending me some samples of their work and this was one of their songs. It sounds pretty loud IMO...thoughts? What could be fixed about it? I think the only thing I don't like about this is that its pretty loud to my ears...

    Calling all Fender Twin enthusiasts -- need amp repair help!

    Hi guys ... today I made a random stop at the pawn shop on the way home, and saw a lonely Fender Twin sitting in a pile of stuff. I asked if it was for sale, and long story short, I walked home with it for $200. I am the second owner, apparently, as the shop owner knew the guy who owned it...

    sampled toms are ringing too much

    I'm using Drumagog to replace my drummer's toms and they are just ringing too much. Obviously I should put a compressor on the track, but should I put it before the Drumagog plugin or after? Also, what do you guys reccomend for settings on the comp? I was thinking a fast attack and a slow...

    Radio Interviews

    How do you think we should go about getting them? There are two big players here in our area for rock music, and one is a college radio station. I e-mailed both of them asking if we could come on and do a short interview and maybe play a song live in studio. This would be promoting a show we...

    Another "free plugin" question

    Hey everyone. This isn't the typical "where can I find free plugins" type of question, but rather, I am interested in finding specific plugins. Right now I would like to find a good EQ that allows me to do low/high pass (usually parametrics have this ability right?). Other plugins I'm...

    So we are about to get some t-shirts made, but I wanted to entertain this question to you guys: How many of each size do you guys typically get? I figure I am going to sell more mediums than anything for male shirts, and probably more smalls for girl shirts. What do you guys think?

    Need a new footswitch

    Hey everyone: I've got a B-52 ST6012 that has a footswitch with channel select and overdrive select built into a stereo cable, and then the reverb toggle uses a mono cable. Where can I buy a foot switch like this? The B-52 foot switch is a piece and doesn't work AT ALL.

    Putting a new reverb tank in my amp

    I have a B-52 ST6012. Nice amp.. but the reverb tank took a huge shit on me (springs broke). Previous tank was a real long one with two springs. Can I replace it with any tank I want? I guess thats the big question here. Thanks.

    Converting an standard six string guitar into a MIDI signal? Possible?

    Okay... so I was wondering. Is there any way to run a guitar directly into an interface, a PA mixer or a digital interface like a PreSonus Firestudio, and then map each of those individual notes as a MIDI trigger? Allowing you essentially to play a synth or whatever with the guitar? Thanks

    Hello everyone: I own a PRS Custom 24 with the trem. I am in love with the guitar, but not so much with the trem. I thought about selling this one and buying one with the stoptail, but would rather lock out this trem and keep it than sell it to get another guitar. How can I lock out the trem...
