Hi I finally got some damn mp3s on my website, and if anyone wants to listen and comment, that would be nice. If you get some message about the page being shut down, it's because I have a pretty small limit of how much data can be transferred and someone got there before you. The site is...

Hey I just bought a used Sunn head and a huge Peavey cabinet. It sounds great and f'in loud. However, the head is pretty dirty, both the surface and the knobs. I'm assuming I can just clean the surface with a mildly damp rag and an old toothbrush. The knobs crackle very loudly at specific...

I'm looking for a show guitar, one that's cheap (so I don't have to worry about various dings and nicks - we play hard), doesn't have to sound that great (we also play loud and very distorted), looks cool, but plays ok. I've been looking at Teisco guitars on ebay, which look awesome. My main...

This might belong in Marketing/Publicity, but here it goes. Is there a way to bypass the upload feature on a commercial web-site provider (Geocities) in order to put an MP3 on my web page? Supposedly they can upload up to 5 megs at a time (sorry if my computer terminalogy is wrong) and my MP3 is...

OK, here's the deal: I'm looking for a good all-around mic, which I will probably use mainly on vocals and acoustic guitar, but may occasionally use for amps, air organ, xylophone, and other weird stuff. I know everyone recommends the SM57 and SM58, but I'm not the type to do the same thing as...

So I'm pretty new to the idea of mixing down to my computer, but I've been trying it out. The first experiment was fairly successful but with one problem. I'm running my Tascam 488 into the back of my computer through the audio in plug. I'm recording onto CoolEdit Pro. I set everything up and...

Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably cheap (around $100, no more than $200) reverb unit? I am not as aurally anal as most of the other people on here, so it doesn't need to sound pristine, but I am looking for something I can use on all instruments and vocals. I don't need a huge variety of...

Hi I've been recording for 6 years but am fairly new to computer junk. In the past, I have mastered stuff from my 4-track down onto tape, then taken the master tape and recorded it using Goldwave onto the computer to make WAVs and MP3s. I have no problem with the sound quality, but this uses a...

Hi I know I've seen this request before, but thought I'd give it a try. I bought a 488 on ebay, $310 thank you very much, but got no instruction booklet. Anyone willing to copy one for me? I don't know if it's a MKI or MKII, but have a feeling it's a MkI since I have read about an XLR mic input...

Wasn't sure whether to put this in newbies or here, but here it goes: I've been recording on 4-track for several years, and my band has recorded a bunch of stuff. However, the stuff I recorded doesn't sound too great (direct to 4track), and the stuff that we got recorded more professionally has...

OK, so I thought I'd try the mystical world of VHS mastering, since I don't have my mastering tape deck over the summer anyways. So I plugged the 4track mastering outlet into the "audio in" of the VCR, got it all set up, and did a test run. It seemed like it was working, because the music was...

I have a Tascam 4-track that I got five years ago. I'm not sure what model, because I'm at work and the 4track's at home, but looking at the Tascam web page it looks most similar to the 414 Portastudio, though it is black and has flat dials instead of tall ones. Anyhow, for a couple of years...

I realize this may have already addressed in older threads, so if you want to refer my back to those, that's fine. But here's the deal: my band recorded a CD a few months ago. The recording sounds good, but we kind of messed up the mixing on a couple of songs. In one song, the vocals jump up in...

So this is a pretty basic question about getting a CD-R or CD-RW drive. I'm looking into getting one for my computer, mainly to use for putting songs recorded on 4track from tape onto CD. I'm a college kid, so I'm looking to get a pretty cheap one, preferably under $300. My questions: is it...
