Whoever guesses first, I might give you my Alesis 3630.

Okay everybody talks about great tone, who has the absolute worst tone that you just can't stand? The voting booth is now open.

I'm not a keyboard player, but I picked one up because I liked one that a friend loaned me. I wanted to have something for simple synth/piano sounds without breaking the bank. Anyway, the unit works good most of the time, but every so often it will start freaking out. It sounds like a cacophany...

Has anyone tried, or made their own cut capo? I have, and it has inspired some very cool new musical ideas. I like to use a full capo at the 3rd fret, plus the cut capo at the 5th. The one I made frets like an Esus4 chord if you put it on the 2nd fret, which means you can play an Emajor chord...

How about a Dynaco Stereo 70 all tube power amp in working condition for $5? Any other good ones out there?

Cool! Barcus Berry Piano Transducer System Anyone had a great experience with this thing besides me? I use one on the grand piano at my church, and it really works great, huge gain before feedback, and we can finally hear the piano in the monitors! Not so great for recording, unless your mic...

Here's a minor project if you have old Battery power only pedals, and you're sick of changing batteries, and unplugging stuff on your pedalboard all the time. My apologies if this has been covered before, or if it's old news, but maybe someone can benefit. You need: One 9v dc "Wall Wart"...

I was just thinking, where's all the threads about power for guitar pedals, and the fortunes the manufacturers make by selling you "THE" power supply for each pedal. I did a quick search here on the BBS and didn't come up with much, so I thought I'd share my ideas. I'm a born tinkerer, it's...

Has anyone done this or heard of it? I have two of these old, beautiful handmade Direct Boxes I "inherited". They are real sturdy, I think they must have been made in the late 70's, they have that look. Anyway, they're both fried! I was using one to send Acoustic Guitar via pickup into the...

I keep finding all these HUGE gaps in my knowledge that I want to fill in. These are some questions for those who have knowledge above and beyond the average HomeRecording Joe. Hopefully others need these answers and more, and hopefully this isn't too redundant. What are the important...

I have an Idea I want to try, I want to see if anyone has done this yet. I am going to record some drums at home again. This time I am going to borrow a stage snake from a friend of mine just for the session. Last time I did this at home, I used about 12 or 14 mic cables doubled up, as well as...

DESPERATE! My Cakewalk file STILL won't open! I'm running PA8 on windows ME and one song won't open up for me anymore. No midi No plug-in's No automation I've recorded about 32 tracks of audio only, done some heavy editing, and just ready to save as a bundle to back-up. I go to open the file...

Okay, maybe not pure genius, but is it just me, or is this one great piece of gear? Even at higher price points, I don't know of a Headphone Amp that is as flexible, with as many options for mixes as this one. ( 'cept Samson's copy maybe:rolleyes: ) Why am I making such a big deal about it? I...

I have an old Shure ribbon mic that someone gave me a few years ago. It doesn't sound particularly good or bad, but it has a very low output, and high self noise. Is this normal? I wish I had the mic handy because I don't remember the model number. It has some small switches on it, which I have...

How do I remove plug ins from the drop down box inside of Cakewalk (PA8)? I know how to uninstall, but sometimes the plug in still appears as though I could select and use it. Maybe (just thought of this) I should delete the .dll file for that plug-in? Anyway, the computer's at home so I'll...

Has anyone seen or found any kind of Spectrum Analyser Plug-In for Cakewalk? I want something I can open in one of the mix busses, that will let me see a real time graphic representation of the freqencies I am dealing with. I used to have an outboard EQ with it built in, but alas no more...

I need some advice from you more computer geeky than me types. (i'm pretty geeky myself) (deep breath) ... I am running PA8 on an intel P4 1.5 ghz with 512ram & 60GB hard drive.(win 98 SE) I set up the system about a year ago, and it ran flawlessly for about 6 months. then I started getting...
