Hi, I have never really attempted stereo recording before, but will be starting to experiment recording an upright piano tomorrow, so please forgive any naivete contained in this question. If I want to record the piano in stereo (regardless of whether I use A/B, X/Y, or MS techniques), should...

Hi, I just bought some drum .WAV files ('Ringo Goes Indie'), and would like to convert them to MIDI for editing. I am not, at this point, looking to replace the existing drums with other drums. I understand that Reatune can convert audio to MIDI, but from reading another thread here on the...

Hi, I just bought a Zoom G3X multi-effects, floor pedal a few days ago, and the built-in expression pedal now does not work to produce a wah sound when I have the appropriate wah patches loaded and on. I have tried re-calibrating the pedal, as stated in the manual, and have got the 'OK'...

Hi, I hope that this is the right forum for this question. For some reason, in the past month or so I have gone from being disinterested in pedals (using only the drive and occasionally a few other effects on my amp) to getting a swiftly worsening case of Pedal Acquisition Syndrome. Why is...

Hi, I am interested in trying to get as close as possible to emulating the electronic part of Clapton's tone. I know that much is in the fingers, but I am talking here about the tonal soundscape which the active mid-boost and TBX controls in his Strat create. I, however, do not want to add...

Hi, In a little while I am going to be recording an upright piano in an apartment as a favour to an acquaintance. In addition to the above, there are some other challenges/limitations in the situation, and I would greatly appreciate some advice about how to go about this to make the recording...

Hi, I am looking to buy a Typhoon G 10 or G 20 guitar amp. There were two versions of each of these amps. My understanding is that the G 10 with the round hold was the first version, and the one with the more traditional grill was the second version, made by a different company (I have been...

Hi, I am looking for a Zoom R24 recorder. It must be in mint condition for me to consider buying. Thanks,

Hi, The manual is silent on the topic of whether a 3/4 drum pattern is possible on the Micro BR 80. It is possible to set a 3/4 pattern with the metronome, and to record that, I think, but it seems strange that one can do this and not create 3/4 patterns with drum voices. Does anyone know if...

Hi, I have been enjoying using my Boss Micro BR 80 in the last little while after not having used it for a few years. The unit has several (acoustic) guitar emulations, and I thought I had seen a 12 string emulation (either acoustic or electric), but now cannot seem to find it. I could be...

Hi, I am looking for a relatively cheap, good sounding, audio interface and have read mostly good things about the Steinberg UR22. I wanted to ask people here: - Would you recommend this unit, and if not, why not? More specifically, - A minority of the reviews that I have read say that the...

Hi, I recently 'upgraded' from the Boss Micro BR (4 track) to the Micro BR 80 (8 track). I was hoping that I would be able to listen to, and record to, the tracks that I have recorded on the MBR, but I cannot hear them, and the songs are not visible when I put the MBR SD card into the BR 80. I...

Hi, I am having a strange problem with my Zoom R 16 when I use it as an audio interface with GarageBand '09- I am getting a 'buzz'/'static' sound when I start to sing into my mic. at a decent/adequate input level, and I would appreciate any help with this that anyone can give me. I find this to...

Hi, I want to be able to do reverse (‘backwards’) audio when playing guitar (a la the solo in The Beatles ‘I’m Only Sleeping’, and some Hendrix songs). (e.g., .1.34 – 1.45 here The Beatles -I'm Only Sleeping - (REVOLVER) Remastered - YouTube ). I know that a couple of loopers have the ability...

Hi, I am looking for a Fender Classic Series 60s Stratocaster, 3 Tone Sunburst. Alternatively, I would be interested in a CS 60s 3 TSB body.

Hi, I have been using Garageband for the last few years, and feel that I want to upgrade to another DAW for various reasons, and would appreciate hearing all of your opinions on this subject. For example, I would like to be able to change tempo during a song, and would also like to increase my...

Hi everyone, I hope that this is the right sub-forum for my question. When looking for various processors/AU software to provide some 'warmth' for tracks in Garageband, I came across 'Channel Strip: Ultimate Mixing Console Processing' ChannelStrip: Ultimate Mixing Console Processing for...

Hi Everyone, I am really enjoying my new Epiphone G-400. However, after having played around with it since getting it 4 days ago, there is one thing about it that I have noticed that I would liketo get your opinions on, and which I am slightly worried about. When I plug the guitar into my...

Hi, Over the last 20 years or so I have progressed from tracking on a cassette-based 4-track Tascam Portastudio, through using an eight track Yamaha minidisc, and occasionally recording on a friend's cheap computer, with an even cheaper sound card. About 5 years ago, I decided to make the leap...

Hi, When I bought a Zoom R16 recently, I intended to use it for 'mobile' recording; I usually use a Presonus Firestudio as my audio interface for my DAW (when it works). However, I have had problems with the Firestudio that the tech. folks at Presonus cannot figure out, and I have been thinking...
