My son pulled all the tubes out of my peavey classic 20 and turned it on. It may have been on for a couple hours. It's not like I can do anyting about it, but anyone care to venture a guess as to what may have been damaged?

I recently noticed my tremelo arm in the pencil holder on my desk and thought I'd go ahead and screw it in and play around with it. I have had the trem blocked on my strat for 15 years or so. I just had to say that I've had a good giggle playing around with it. Back in the mid/late 80s I had...

Can anyone explain how to wire a les-paul type 3-position toggle switch so it works: pickup A/Pickups A and B/Pickup B ? I bought a switch at the music store and I think it is a double pole double throw. It's a 3 position switch anyway, and has 6 contacts on the bottom and the side facing me...

I tried some searches. didn't turn up what I was looking for. I know this isn't recording-related. I was just wondering if anyone had some recomendations for live vocal mics. Is a beta 58 about as good as it gets under $200? I have been using a 58 for about 20 years now and I recently heard...

I am interested in mixing using something other than headphone and have been reading the "best monitors for under $500" threads. I am just trying to figure out why studio monitors have any advantage over using a home stereo. I want a representative mix that will sound good on any sound...

Or solo or whatever. Say I have a song that's too long and I'd like to make a jingle-length demo of it. I want to keep the intro and the ending, but I can whack a verse to get it shorter. Does anyone have any tips for cleanly editing out a chunk of time from the middle. I know in wave view...

This is really the first song I recorded from scratch on PC. I wrote it for my wife last valentines day, but it was probably influenced a bit by napoleon dynamite. I really would like to know how it sounds on other playback equipment. I don't really have access to anything better than the...

I have a multi-track recording I did with mostly acoustic instruments that was rendered on a laptop with the crap internal soundcard. I can replicate all the various parts except a very neat serendipitous acoustic guitar break. I was wondering if it is at all possible to tart up the rest of...

Package deal AKG Perception 100 and TubePre for 150 I am experimenting with some computer-based recording for demos and goofing around and have $150 burning a hole in my pocket. I have no preamp and have been recording with the band's stage mics (shure 57/58). Is this package deal worth...

Anyone ever put a tele pickup in a strat? I had heard that it doesn't really give the same twang as a tele without the tele bridge. Something about the way the pickup is surrounded by metal on a tele makes a difference. Does anyone know first-hand if you can get a reasonable approximation...

Based on the recomendations read here, I bought a delta 44 card which enabled me to start converting some old 4-track tapes to digital. Here is a minute of something I recorded a while back. It really is the best results I ever got recording drums with one mic. Tracks: Drums played with...
