Hey guys. I don't like my stock Jazzmaster pickups, so I bought some SD Antiquities (version 1) used. I took both out of the box to look at them, and then when I went to put them back I realized I have no idea which is the neck and which is the bridge. How would I figure this out? Thanks!

Can you guys point me to the best place to buy capacitors and resistors? Like J quality/5% tolerance or higher. And maybe a kit that has an assortment of values. I'm doing some modifications tone/volume knobs and swapping some pickups -- just started getting into this so I'm a newb and not sure...

A friend of mine has a crappy guitar that he asked me to set up. I did so, but after putting the truss rod and action where it should be, there is a lot of buzz. It has dead frets (about 4 are high and causing this). He asked if I can level them. I told him I've never done it, but I kinda know...

Hey guys. Any tips on how to make bass audible on laptop speakers? My mix sounds good, except there is no bass on the laptop. From what I read online, they say to boost around 1k. That didn't work, either. Any other tips? Thanks!

Hey guys. My band is going to be playing live soon, and I wanted to know the smallest possible keyboard to use live. We only need it for a few parts and don't want to lug around a ton of gear. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me how to put hardware (pedal) reverb onto a guitar track? I use Cubase. My pedal is a Strymon Flint, and I have a reamp box. I'm just not sure how to route this in the daw. Also, will there be a time mismatch when the reverb signal comes back into the daw due to the reamping box...

Hey guys. My individual tracks are fine, but when certain beats hit they overload the master buss. I think one track causing this problem is this guitar: https://i.imgur.com/jIlevEb.png Looking at it, the transients are obvious, but what is the best method for taming a wave like that? A...

Hey guys. Say I have 1 guitar track. I want to pan it about 40 to the right (Cubase). It makes the mix unbalanced on the left at that point. Is there any way to use that same track to kick some signal back to the left channel to even it out? If so, what is the best method. I don't want to double...

Hey all. This looks silly, but also like it would be helpful to prepare for stage, but I don't think it's downloadable. I was wondering if anyone knows of something similar. YouTube Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what's going on with this snare? i.e. how they got that sound. My snare samples are all really annoying with a harshness and a lot of the wire sound. Is this a close mic? The crispness on it is nice to my ear and almost sounds gated on the sustain. Wondering if anyone can help...

Hey guys. I'm having some trouble with my low end, and wondering the pros and cons of a 12cut vs a 98cut (I also have other options like 24, 48, etc). On the graph the 98 cut looks steeper. Are there downsides to using this? When I use the 12 cut I still hear some low end rumble in the guitars...

Near-Bankrupt Gibson Guitar Faces a $50 Million Lawsuit

I'm trying to get a little extra boost for a Ribbon mic to record on my Tascam 244. I have a Fethead (+20db of gain), and put it inline on the mic. The problem is the 244 only takes unbalanced cables -- they're 1/4" unbalanced on 4track input end and XLR balanced on the mic end. I think the...

There is something called PluginDoctor that shows what is going on with a plugin, so you can maybe easily duplicate an EQ curve for example. I just loaded the Waves API in it, and without any signal passing through it the graph shows a 2.5db boost/shelf at 5k to 20k, so there is a boost in low...

Do you pros correct phase in the drum tracks? If so, does that give an unnatural sound? It seems like we hear drums in a natural room out of phase since things are hitting our ears at different times. I'm wondering if correcting phase can be applied to midi drums, too. Would you render the...

Does anyone do this? I've been experimenting with it lately and like it a lot better than a de-esser. The De-esser doesn't seem to catch all plosives and lispy lines. You can also pull the clip down various DBs instead of having the de-esser at a fixed db reduction. I really like it other than...

Hey guys. I am demoing a plugin that is supposed to simulate a "good room" through headphones (since I don't/won't ever have a treated room or monitors), and I kinda like it but don't have monitors to a/b test it on. For those of you who have monitors, can you tell me how this mix sounds in...

hey guys, i am looking for an appliance that both humifies (when low) and dehumidifies (when high). do you know of any that do both for a large room?
