    Any JBL Dealers in the house???

    I have a family member who's an authorized JBL dealer, but evidently there's a family feud going on, and I'm guilty by association... so I've lost my connection for getting stuff at cost. Anywho, I blew out a voice coil (diaphragm) on the HF Driver / horn of a G-734 cab. I know I used to be...

    OK Guys, Build me your Dream Computer!

    I'm in the process of moving an office (actually a couple). The new office space will require a better computer than what's presently there. So I need to biuld a new computer. Now here's where it gets fun. Like the saying goes, Shit rolls downhill... So I'm going to be giving up my current...

    Can pickups be re-magnatized?

    OK here's the deal. I have an Ovation Deacon (solid body electric) with humbucking pickups. The thing sat idle for a LONG time, and it seems that the pickups have lost a bit of punch. The sustain, especially when doing a lead up the neck, really drops off (much more than I remember). This...

    Whats a GOOD amp for LIVE acoustic guitar / vocals gig?

    OK guys, I need some input. I'm looking to simplify my life. I'm thinking about giging again in some small venues (50 - 150 people in close proximity to the stage area), and I'm thinking about bagging the PA route and going with just an amp. I would need an XLR for the mic input, and one or...

    ADAT vs Hard Disk Recorders

    OK, I tried to do a search for this and my computer wacked out, so I'm just posting the question. I've been conemplating picking up a Hard Disk Recorder. I do most of my recording with my computer/Cakewalk at this point, but I'm really getting tires of the damn fan noise from my computers...

    Another naive question, this time on the ART Tube MP.

    OK, I see alot of mud being slung around here regarding the ART Tube MP. Things like "It's a box with a little light in it as opposed to a Real Tube, etc... Does it do anything more than if I were to simply plug my mic int my Mackie, which is supposed to have wonderful pre's? Why does it suck...

    A naive question about a infamous Alesis 3630 Compressor.

    I know a bunch of people knock the 3630. Not that I think it's a particularly good unit, as I have no comparison. Why then is it considered a tool of the Devil, and what makes others that much better. To quote from the movie Dirty Harry... ...I Got's to know... Thanx, Tom.

    Any of you flown... on an airplane, with a guitar lately???

    I'm retreating to the Carribean in January and I want to bring my guitar, as usual. The one I usually take is an electric/acoustic Takamine 12 string, and I usually take it as carry-on and put it in the compartment where the businessmen-type hang their suits just when you board the plane. In...

    An "Off-Shoot" of the "Guitar Repairs???" Tread

    Buck got me thinking about model numbers in the other thread. Then I saw some footage of George Harrison playing on what looked to be the setting of his "All Things Must Pass" cover, playing an old Gibson Acoustic. So I wandered into my music room and looked at the two Gibson acoustic's I have...

    Ensoniq EPS - Do I need a "definition" for cakewalk, or is Generic 1-128 OK?

    Ensoniq EPS - Do I need a "definition" for cakewalk, or is Generic 1-128 OK? I'm trying to get Cakewalk to talk to my Ensoniq EPS. First off, Do I need a Cakewalk Definition for this unit, or simply generic 1-127 or 1-128, as there are no loaded sounds on the EPS (You load as you go). The...

    What is it with people in "The Business"

    I've been shooting my new tune out to anyone and everyone even remotely involved with the music biz to try to get some feedback on my efforts. "I Saw A Tear In Lady Liberty's Eye Today" I sent it to my college roomate, who happens to be a vice-president / general manager of a couple of radio...

    Might buy a Fender Strat... ...But which one? Help!

    I've been thinking about picking up a strat, so I go to music stores, and browse Musicians Friend for ideas, and end up being more confused than when I started. How many different styles of strats is Fender going to come up with, and what REALLY is the difference from one to another? Or...

    Brian May - Queen

    What kind of giutar does Brian use, and what does he use for a set up? He's got a pretty unique sound, and is able to reproduce it song for song. Anyone out there know??? Thanx, Tom.

    How do I get sounds to sound real (ie. horns, etc)

    OK, so it may not a "Cakewalk Only" question, but I use Cakewalk, so I put the question here. I'm finding it real difficult to reproduce the expression of certain instruments. The sounds on my NS5R are ok, and would probably suffice if I knew how to get the initial bright "POW" of a horn burst...

    New MP3- I Saw A Tear (In Lady Liberty's Eye Today)

    I guess this was my way of trying to deal with the events of 9-11-01. Now, if I can deal with the job of mixing this thing... ...but thats another story... Give it a listen at NowhereRadio , and let me know what you think. Thanx, Tom.

    Guitar Repairs???

    Anybody out there do their own guitar repairs? I've done some (like regluing fretboards onto the neck, and stuff like that - with good results). My brother-in-law has a Yamaha acoustic probably worth ~$150 (if that), and he was trying to fix the horrible action on it and he snapped the tension...

    EV powered sub w/12" driver

    I saw an advertisement for an EV powered sub with a 12" driver for live applications. Now, I realize it's not a JBL or a Mackie, but is there anyone out there who uses/used one of these units, and does it provide a little bottom end so I can pull some of it off my JBLs to make the mains sound...

    New Mix. Thanx for all your help!!!

    I took all of the advise I've gotten from the responses to my posts here on mixing, sequenced drum sounds, soundcards, my attitude, etc., and probably completely f#^ked them all up. Anyway, I remixed the song "Thinking of You" and posted it at NowhereRadio(the second song)...

    Line 6 POD, Johnson J-Station, Etc., The Pros & Cons...

    I've seen a lot of post regarding Line 6 POD, Johnson J-Station, etc., I'm looking for an amp/cab modeler for direct input recording. What do you use (other than micing the actual amp) and why. what do you consider good features and features that are useless? Also, is there any guitar...

    Help, I gots a Pan Problem!

    I'm trying to re-mix a song on Cakewalk 9. I have two lead guitar parts at the end of the song, each recorded in mono on separate tracks. I'm trying to pan one left and one right and it ain't happening. I've managed to get other MIDI tracks to behave, but the audio tracks aren't cooperating...
