After wishing for years that my black ibanez GAX70 had some more charachter, I finally got the guts to strip it down to bare wood and slap some paint on it. I also found some nice Gibson pickups to give it more "sing." I call this pattern "BlueBurst" what do you think? Before and after...

I am looking forward to getting the Fostex D2424LV in a few weeks, and I'm just trying to figure out how I am supposed to hook it up to my gear. I'll be using the Analog inputs and outputs mostly. My Mixer has Direct Outs (postfade-postEQ). It also has channel inserts. Do I hook up the...

I am looking to reduce some sound transmission through the plaster walls in my rented apartment, as well as cutdown on unwanted reflections. What is a good non-permanent way to do this? I was thinking of buying some blanets and hanging them on the walls and ceiling. Or maybe some of those 18"...
