My drummer and I are interested in incorporating more electronic instruments into our live sets and recording. We were looking for a quality keyboard that is simple to use (we don't understand all the keyboard terminology yet, aka, LFOs and what not.), but still affordable and versatile. Not...

You know, I've always been fascinated with this band. I'm even more fascinated with their production process. I was wondering, does anyone have any insight to how they track their guitars and drums? Everything sounds absolutely incredible. I thought I saw an article on their album "10,000...

Hey everyone, I've tried mixing my bassists stuff to no avail. The performance and the tone are great. I tried slapping a maul-the-band compressor on it, and it sort of helped, but not quite. I then tried a dynamics processor, and I fiddled with that for a good twenty or thirty minutes and...

Hey everyone... just wondering what you guys think the best way for a drummer to hear what is being played. We've record some scratch tracks for our drummer to play along with when tracking drums, but he complains he can't ever hear the music or the metronome through the headphones.

I have a really old solid state amp that I'd like to turn into a talkbox. Anyone have any surefire instructions or should I just go buy a Banshee? Thanks! :)

Does an active bass sound better recorded than a passive bass? Guy in my band is using a passive bass, and running the thing direct into the Firepod sounds like garbage.

Hey everyone. Soon, our band will be pressing a short CD. I was wondering... What do you guys think makes a good album art? What makes it memorable? Why are they memorable? What are some of your favorite album arts? Why are they your favorite? Thanks, looking forward to your answers.

A guy is selling a Peavey Classic 50 for $350 and might go lower on the deal. Wondering if this is a good price and if this is a good amp... thanks. :cool:

Hey everyone... I own a B-52 ST6012 amplifier with Vintage 30s. I am interested in changing the tubes because 1) I bought the amp used and still has the same tubes and 2) right now I feel the amp has entirely too much gain. What do you guys recommend for all of the following: Power: 2 – 6L6 /...

Let me know if you got one and name your price! Looking for a good deal... Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm trying to book some bigger acts for shows in and around the area here. I was wondering, how do I get information so that I can contact these bands' managers? Do I need to talk to the labels first? Any insight is appreciated.

Here's an article I found that gives some information on using amps and amp simulators.

I figured this document might be helpful for some of us around here... I attached it to this post. Enjoy!

I posted another thread in "Guitars and Basses" earlier and thought it was just a blown preamp tube. But, alas, it doesn't seem to be it, either. I replaced the tube, and still have the same symptoms: When plugged into the "input" jack, I get no sound out of either the clean or overdrive...

I was reading through an interview of Alex Lifeson (from Rush) and he stated he used Les Pauls on the "Snakes & Arrows" record because "everyone is using PRS," Are a lot of bands truly using PRS on their records?

'Morning everyone: My vocalist was loading my amp into the truck and broke the volume knob for the overdrive channel clean off! All the way down to the pot. I was wondering how I go about replacing this. What things do I need to consider when buying a new pot for this amp? How difficult is...

Hey everyone, I have a Crate Vintage Club 30 that isn't outputting any sound. Last week, the overdrive channel stopped working on it and only the clean channel worked. A few days later, the clean channel started breaking up and eventually stopped working as well. Now, neither channel outputs...

I want to record a bass tone similar to that of Sevendust, a nice growly bass. How is this accomplished?
