Ok, so I'm not real big on hip-hop and rap myself, so I'm not really looking for a bunch of people telling me I just shouldn't do it. Having said that, as I understand it, T-Pain's vocal effect thing is accomplished with Auto-Tune. I use Reaper and I don't have Auto-Tune, but I do have a basic...

I'm not talking about the genre, but the actual sound. Granted, I am talking mostly about rock, so it might be related, but... I've noticed that all the snare drums sound almost identical. There's always a little bit of character, but they seem to all share the exact same characteristic sound...

For sale is the MXL 990/991 package of mics, including the plastic, padded case they came in. I'm not sure if I have the little booklets that normally come with them, but I can't imagine you really need them. They are lightly used and sound great on guitars, IMO, I just don't need this set and I...

http://gizmodo.com/5231112/best-video-ive-seen-today-will-make-you-smile I'm sure at least some of you have seen this video by now, but the cool thing for me is that, at least if we are to believe the video footage, all of it was recorded out in the streets, not in a big, expensive studio. As...

My PC desktop freezes up randomly and I can't figure out why. I can usually make it happen by watching a Netflix instant movie, but I think it will freeze up on its own when I'm not doing anything, too (it just might take longer). I just updated the motherboard BIOS, so that's not it. I have...

Ok, I just finished this mix today and overall, I'm pretty happy with it. Originally, the looping part repeated the whole song after it comes in, but I decided that was a bad idea and cut it out for the chorus. It was an odd transition at first, though, so I added in the ringing that you can...

Can I just buy a replacement ball for an SM58 and use it on a 57? I need a good live vocal mic, something that sounds like a 57/58 and has the pop filter thing on it, and since I've already got a 57, it would be nice if I could just stick a ball on it.

I never seem to have much luck getting problems solved in the Reaper forums (because no one ever replies), so hopefully someone here can help. About a week ago, I decided that I wanted to start recording at 44.1 instead of 48. So I switched up Reaper so that new projects would use 44.1. On...

My band is a two piece. As you might imagine, that makes it very difficult for us to have guitar, bass, and drums going at the same time. However, the guitarist has a Jam Man that he bought with the intention of allowing us to have more than just guitar and drums when we play live. The problem...

I've been debating for a while whether or not to put new pickups on my guitar. I have a Gibson "The Paul" from the '70s. Originally, I didn't want to swap them out because it would lower the value of the guitar, but it's not a guitar I'd ever sell, so I'd rather just have it sound like I want it...

Did you know that they will tune your drums for you at no charge? He even threw in a moon gel, also at no charge. They sound way better than I ever managed to get them... Maybe the people at your local GC aren't as nice as mine, but it's at least worth a shot if you suck at tuning.

I've been reorganizing my pedal selection, so I've got a couple I want to get rid of. They are all in very good working order, though some of them (as you will see) have blemishes. Shipping is included to anywhere in the lower 48 states. If you live near DC and want to pick them up, I'll knock...

I currently record at 24/48k. Originally, I did that because I had done a lot of video work and thought that if I wanted to stick my stuff in a video, it made sense to record at 48k. But lately I've been thinking that really, it's just going to go on CDs, and it would make sense to do 44.1k and...

So I recently put together a pedalboard and tacked on an outlet strip, but I'm just wondering: I have a 1-Spot, but it supplies DC and two of my pedals (a Whammy and a Rocktron Banshee) require AC. There's an adapter thing that I've read lets you plug into AC pedals: L6 Converter (CL6). Does...

Looking to sell or trade my MXL 990/991 package. $65, shipping included to the lower 48 states. Package includes both mics, the stand adapters (not shockmounts), and the case for both. I can also dig out the manuals that came with them and include those. I actually have two packs available, both...

I know, I know, everyone asks for help... anyway, I got an MXL 990 a while ago, actually 2 of the 990/991 sets, thinking I could use them for drums and guitar and vocals and EVERYTHING, but it turns out they actually kinda suck for vocals. It works nice on my amp, but... ugh. I went back to a 57...

I can't seem to find any information on the pickups that came on my guitar. I have a 1979 Gibson The Paul. They are listed as just exposed coil humbuckers, but I've also seen some people say they came with "dirty fingers" pickups. I've noticed that they seem to output at a higher than normal...

Prices: Focusrite-$350, shipping included Mixer-$50 + shipping (b/c it's big and heavy, but you can pick it up if you live in Northern Virginia or nearby) If you're thinking of trades, I'm looking for preamps, headphone amps, and a nice vocal mic, mainly for the guy in my band, so I would...

The February DIY challenge has motivated me to finally go out and get some real wood to build a real pedalboard. The first picture is a drawing I did to help me figure out what I was going to need and how it was going to work out. The second picture is of all the measuring and lines I had to...

If anyone has a MOTU 8pre they want to get rid of, send me a PM and what you'd want for it.
