Anyone got any experience/tips for using the QY-sequencers? I just bought a QY22 on eBay - kinda an impulse buy as I've been uming and ahhing over getting a beatstep pro (a very different sequencer I know) for a while to control synths and drum machines and jam with...

I'm picking up the looper pedal I discussed in another thread this week and I got a decent price on my ER-1 so looking at getting a couple more pedals. Probably going to get an EHX East River Drive or Soul Food (I'm aware that they're fairly different - not fully decided which yet) and thinking...

I've been thinking about getting a looper. I really just want something very simple, and have been looking at the TC-Ditto and Boss RC-1 pedals. Of the 2 I'm slightly swayed by the LED ring of the Boss... Just wondered if there're any other basic loopers I should consider before I make a final...

Found out that I'm being given a bonus in December's paycheck which is wicked. I've chosen a new guitar (been drooling on a hollow body for months) and am picking it up on weds... I've got an old Line6POD that I still use occasionally to record with as I don't have an amp these days. So I'd...

I've been on that old school vibe again recently and after spending a couple months just messing with synths and grooveboxes I went digging for some vinyl. Made this. Unmixed and needs some arrangement tweaks but had my head noddin. https://youtu.be/VUT61PUXdPA

I've been playing my acoustic a fair bit recently and would like to get more guitar into my recordings (I use a lot of samples and synths). My oldest (12) has been having lessons and has a cheap strat copy (Shine) which I've borrowed and frankly - it sounds bloody horrible plugged in so I'm in...

Had the day off today and the house to myself and started on a track. Decided early on that I needed a Rhodes-Type piano in there and used a Massive preset (I think it's labelled 'Original Rhodes'). Not massively happy with the sound TBH but didn't want to waste session time editing the sound...

Couple of questions... 1) I've pressed the upgrade button and have been staring at a spinny doughnut and the words "Please wait" for the last 10 minutes... How long is it supposed to take; and why am I not being informed of its progress? 2) When it is done (and this could answer my third...

Kill it. Kill it dead. It's not good. Autotune is not good. I'm serious. Kill it. Kill it dead. #saynotoautotune

I've been looking at my set-up and specifically stuff I just never use, for a while now. And after a lunch trip to friends yesterday, while the wives talked babies the lads went into his cellar studio and I retrieved more of my gear that was on loan that he's no longer using... So now I've got...

Thought I'd start a thread for people to post music featuring samples taken from records bought on the cheap at charity/thrift stores, boot sales etc... This is a work in progress from a really nice record that cost me 50 pence at a charity shop on the high street during my lunch break last...

Bargain going at Amazon right now for anyone looking for their first large diaphragm condenser... £115! RODE NT1-A Condenser Microphone Bundle: Amazon.co.uk: Musical Instruments

Hi. Anyone got experience of the VTB-1 ? Seen one going very cheap but wonder if there'll be any improvement of sound over the Scarlett's in-built pres as it's at the budget end of the preamp market anyway? Would be used as DI for bass guitar and pre for SE2200ii Currently just use the 2i2...

This has probably been seen before by many as it's from back in 2007 but I just found it and found it useful... Using Microphone Polar Patterns Effectively

Just got a New SE2200a II mp for £169 from my local (Leeds) store! Very happy!

Unfortunately, I'm still sampling from mp3/YouTube etc until I can save up for a deck (new mic is coming first, followed by a decent control surface...) But in the meanwhile... : Didn't I - Maschine flip - YouTube Hope you dig.
