    I was wondering...

    how much I can do with a Tascam DP008. I've got it, and I know how to use it.

    Another snare buzz thread

    Snare buzz. I've followed a few threads. And have done some more research, some people say roll up toilet paper and put between the snare strand and head, some people say get a Puresound Equalizer snare it'll take care of it.
