From today's New York Times, here goes. These people are making an argument I've made for a while, which is that it's false logic to assume that every download counts as a lost sale. Just because you download something doesn't mean you would have bought it otherwise. In fact, you may not...

Okay, so on the recommendation of many on this board, I bought a Rode NT1 to record my album project a few years ago. It worked great. For a low-end mic. With a bit of trickery, I got the disc sounding great. I'm beginning work on my next album and I'd like to go one healthy step up on the...

I guess here is as good a place to post this as any: MY DISC IS DONE!! The one I've posted about off & on for the past 3 years. And I couldn't have done it without all you guys at homerecording.com. SERIOUSLY. I've consulted this board on everything from gear purchases to EQ tweaking, &...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I'll give 'er a shot. How would a guitarist looking for studio work go about getting started? I'm working on my own disc at home, but I'd like to work on some other projects to broaden my horizons a bit (and make some money, of course). Anyone...

So I'm looking over BMI's site, and it's telling me that the money gets split between the publisher and the writer. Well, what if there is no publisher? Just me, the writer. Do I get the whole thing? I can't seem to find an answer on their site. Anyone with an idea?

I bought a new Zip drive because I thought my old one was broken, & it wasn't. So now I have this brand new Zip drive that's only been used once. I'd like to trade it for a good cheap drum machine, if possible in the NYC area. Or just make me an offer.

So I got the new OS for my old VS-880, which apparently gives me CD-burning capability with the Roland burners. But I go check out the prices on those burners, & they're nearly $600! That's more than many standalone burners! What the...?? Anyone know a cheap place to get these things, or...

Ffffffffffuuuuuuuuck. Fuck. I have (had?) a song backed up as an Archive from my VS-880 onto 3 250MB ZIP disks. It has extracted back onto the IDE drive with no problem many times before. Today, I'm extracting it and it goes through disk 1 & disk 2 with no problem. Kicks the disks right...

Hi, all. Okay, I have this 3 to 4 year old (not sure) VS-880 that I've used for a couple of years. I've got this song that's so big, it's leaving me 38 minutes of recording time out of the original 534 minutes on my IDE drive. I've been working on it a while, as you can see. I've tried...

For all you NYC residents who've responded to my previous posts, it's me again, the New York-bound Sir_Matthew. So I'm getting ready to mix these tracks down to DAT before I depart, since I have access to my friend's DAT player down here in Tejas. Once that's done, I need to get them...

I'm sure this has been covered here before, but I wasn't sure what to search under. I am nearing the end of the tracking stage for my debut CD, which I'm recording on a Roland VS-880. It's an older one, so it's not compatible with the Roland burners. I could buy a standalone burner, but...

I keep finding elements of recording that I thought I knew, but apparently didn't. This latest: I'm using an ART Tube MP with an Alesis Nanocompressor before going to my VS-880. I bought a Monster patch cable to connect the two, and it worked for a couple of months. Then I started getting...

I have a VS-880 that's approximately 3-4 years old (not EX), and I believe it only has 1 GB of hard drive memory. I want to upgrade it to 3 GB (I take a lot of tracks), so I called Roland tech support last week. They said to just go out and buy any laptop hard drive up to 3 GB and it'll work...

I'm interested in getting a Cab-Tone amp simulator, if anyone's got one to sell. Lemme know.

I have a 2-3 year old VS-880 (V-expanded) and have been using ZIP disks as my storage devices. However, as I'm sure everyone here is aware, that can get expensive when you do a large volume of recording. A friend of mine tried to get his VS-880 to back up onto an external hard drive with...

Anyone seen or heard any reports on this? http://www.fairlightesp.com/products/recorders/merlin/me-pd-40011.htm

I may already know the answer to this, but in case I'm wrong: I've got an old upright piano, probably made around '55, that I've recently acquired for my home studio. It sounds great miked up with a couple of SM57's (all I've got at present, but it sounds surprisingly good), but there's one...

Wonder if anyone's got some advice for me on grounding outlets? I live in a rent house, & my second bedroom is my studio space. The whole house has two-prong outlets throughout, so it's unlikely there's a ground anywhere. Since my studio equipment has three prongs, I switched out the...

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes: I'm checking the veracity of a few facts in an article I found in the FW Weekly ( http://www.fwweekly.com/ ) that was originally printed in the Honolulu Weekly. To be blunt, it scares the crap out of me. In the article, Joe Edmon explains...

I just bought a 2-year-old Roland VS-880 with a V-Expanded upgrade, & the memory is starting to get filled up. From what I gather, a ZIP drive is the cheapest backup method at present. Does anyone else know of a better and/or cheaper method to back the memory up? I'm a new Roland user, so...
