Hi. I've never used the punch in function on my 424mkii. What type of footswitch does it need? Can I use something like the tap tempo switch that I use for my guitar delay pedal (normally open, no click), or do you need a clicking pedal? I can't think of exactly what those pedals are called...

My band needs to update our band photos, possibly this upcoming weekend. We are looking for some cool new ideas. These would be used for booking packages, press releases, etc., but we will still go with the DIY approach. So, anybody care to share their favorite band photo? Maybe a...

Got a strange thing going on with a 424mkii - If I plug the RCA plugs into the "line out" jacks, usually (but not always), the Left channel is dead. The wierd part is if I unplug both L & R, then plug them into the "Monitor out," I hear a slight electrical buzz (like plugging a guitar into an...

That song "Best of you" hurts my ears everytime I hear it. Normally I really dig the band, but that song is "difficult listening." I'm sure it's totally overcompressed, but it seems something else about it is kinda grating.

So, I'm contemplating a mixdown that will actually involve some use of the fx loops on a 424mkii. Basically, there are 2 vocal tracks that I would like to add reverb to. I only have one reverb unit (stomp box). Once they are sent out through the unit and back to the 424, the 2 wet vocals are...

Hey, I have a bit of a pipe dream of recording my band's next CD at an old cabin that I am particularly fond of. On problem, though, is that the place is really old and, if I remember correctly, doesn't have grounded recepticles. Would it be possible to somehow rig a grounding rod outside...

Quick, stupid and simple question - For a band that maintains an email "fan" list, what is the best time frame for sending out notices? We might play one show every 3 weeks and would typically only send out one email for each show (we try not to piss off people by sending to much junk to them)...

So where is a good place to go online to post a "Drummer needed" sorta ad for free. I found www.bandmix.com, which is nice and all- has tons of musicians on it, but you need to be a premium member to get the contact info of the people? Why even have a freaking webiste like that if you can't...

OK, running with some ideas from the "earth shaking idea" thread, from a songwriting perspective (and just enjoyable listening, too, I suppose), give me some classical tunes, composers, actual CD names, etc. I'm a dunce about classical stuff, and a lot of it bores me quite a bit, honestly...

for Item 7302858605, a 424 mk ii, seller says: "Remember this is the model recorder the Beatles recorded Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club band on." Is there anything even remotely true about this? I know they recorded on 4-track, but that seems to be it.

I know this was discussed a few months ago, but my search yeilded nada. where does one go to submit/register their CD info so that when you play it in a PC media player, it recognizes it and lists the song names.... Sorry for the rehash. Just couldn't seem to find it.

I'm interested in taking online orders, and am looking at paypal to do it. However, we currently sell CD through a low tech geocities website, because 1. it's free, and 2. it doesn't require me to do anything involving html - it's all click and drag sorta design. so my question is will I...

It looks like I might get the opportunity to pick up a "Wurlitzer Funmaker" organ for free sometime soon. It seems to work fine, but some of the keys seem to 'sag', ie sit a little lower than the rest of the keys. It seems like this is something that should be fixed. How is that done, if at...

I was in the car for about an hour the other day and got roped into a radio infomercial of this guy - Mathew Goerke, from the American Memory Institute or something selling his "product" that will make your memory incredible, allegedly. Anyway, it got me thinking about all the songs I've...

I'm working on a...well, I guess a parody album, for lack of a better term. The following song is losely written around some lyrics that a friend wrote, and I then took it and ran with it. Most of the things that make no sense at all are my friends, and left for stupidity sake (ie "the...

I'm bored at work and daydreaming about tonights recording activities. So, feel free not to answer if you don't want me wasting your time...that being said, I remember the manual being fairly confusing with this stuff: OK..424mkiii - I have all 4 trax already recorded (or will after tonight)...

First - I've never quite seen this technique. Who does this? Is it really that much better? http://www.two--four.net/Guitars/StringWrap.html 2nd. after reading through a recent thread about guitar set-up and whatnot, I decided to try to screw up my Les Paul. Any references out there on how...

I have an sr-16 drum machine that is relatively new - got it for xmas, and I've barely used the thing. When trying to copy a pattern from a "b" part to an "a" then thing just sorta froze. actually first it wouldn't perform the copy. it said "copy complete!" but it didn't copy. then a few...

ok, just kidding, but I do have a question about Windows MEdia Player if anyone happens to know. IS there a way to burn a CD, without there being a 1-2 second gap tween tracks? I have some tracks that I want to seemlessly run together, but when I burned the CD, theres that stupid gap that I...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a mixer or PA, to replace the 40 year old one that we are currently using (which occasionally needs to be thumped a few times to get it to work). I basically need something that I can plug mics and keyboards, and what not into, to power a pair of fairly large PA...
