Like an impulsive fool, I just picked up a Mapex Plasma set because it was on extremely long sale and I wanted a small set of actual drums in my home studio. I'm sure these are far from pro stuff, but are there any links that come to mind about getting the most from small, inexpensive sets in...

Has anyone had a go at this set? I've been trying to come up with a small, light set for my home studio to MIDI patch directly into the computer to run Drumkit From Hell or another velocity-layered drum program. The box on any set is irrelevant beyond being able to do that. Will it? Does...

A while ago, I got some hand drums to use for rhythm work and doinking around. Among these, I got a couple of the Remo djembes in 12" & 14" as they are more trouble-free than the traditional wood/Mali-weave ones, which I just don't have the patience to maintain. The problem is that these...

In the GC December sale catalog, there's a deal on Vox VR ("Valve Reactor") amps at 60% off. OK, so I look around the net for reviews on these things and see that unlike some of the recent Vox modeling amps, these have no particular reliability problems and get positive reviews. I went down...

I have a technical question if you do. If no one does, I'll pass on the laborious explanation.

I want something to control a VSTi drum machine like LM4-MkII in Cubase and a keyboard MIDI controller isn't quite as intuitive for me as a real drum kit. I've seen some of these sets relatively cheap used and although their boxes have MIDI I/O, there's no mention of using them in this way in...

I have some 545s (old SM-57) and the one I can find has gone dead in storage. 1: Is there anyone who does service on these other than Shure? 2: I know Shure has a flatrate service fee on their microphones, but does anyone know what it runs and if it's economical? I've never been able to...

Nobody seems to have posted anything about this blowout deal, so I will before they're all gone. They're at Musician's Friend and at Guitar Trader (where they are temporarily out of stock) at $299.99, delivered. MSRP is $900. Here's a better photo layout. And a spec sheet... Yes, I know a...

Someone was discussing these with me the other day and I couldn't really help him out on what - if any - differences there are between... 1202 MicroSeries 1202 1202 VLX 1202 VLX PRO ...mixers. Can someone bring me up to speed on these? As always, thanks!

I been reading the various texts and am still confused about how to configure Cubase 5.1 to use my J-Station with its S/PDIF 24/44.1 output. Can any J-Station users walk me through the "Audio System Setup" settings needed for this? If I change "Audio Clock Source" to the available "S/PDIF"...

Finally got an Ashbory a couple of weeks ago and have been doing a lot of research on them. Apparently, the notorious "snapping G string" problem is solved by using an inexpensive replacement made of better material, which I've ordered and received. There's enough for four replacement Gs and...

OK, I'm stuck in the gate yet again with Cubase. I want to record an audio track with effects, just like in analog recording. I record the track using an insert or send effect and it sounds OK when I'm doing it. I "rewind" and normalize everything - turning the effects off, etc. I play it back...

I love the various chord discussions that come up here from time to time and have learned a lot from them. I have noticed that funk guitar seems to be a whole different instrument, with chords I just don't seem to hear anywhere else, the fingering of which is far from obvious to me. So, while...

Yep. Pretty funny! With a 15W modeling amp under $100 street price!

I'm sure this has been asked before, but is there a good, commonly-available substitute replacement for shockmount elastic? Thanks for any ideas.

Funny, nobody has mentioned this hot deal here yet. There are still a few of these left, but not many. Make your move today:Gibson SG "Classic" w/P-90s

What difference - besides cosmetic - are there between these monitors? Thanks...

Just wondering, as I can't get Fender to talk about it. I'm trying to figure out what the last US Fenders were and when they were made. BTW, in case you didn't know, after over fifty years of making Fender amplifiers in the US, in early 2002 Fender ceased making US production amps and quietly...

Seems like many or most pre-2002 Fender Blues Junior amps have an an annoying hiss in the reverb circuit. The new ones have a redesigned reverb circuit, but I'm wondering if anyone got Fender to repair their hissy Blues Jr. and if so, what was done to it. Thanks!
