I might sell the Paul. It's got sentimental value, but it's also been ripped apart for a while. Probably going to take one last stab at refinning. I used that Citrus Strip stuff and let it sit for a couple days while periodically going in and scraping off the goo and reapply stripper. That...

I did a fade last year... Red to Orange Fade I stripped my Les Paul to refin it but I kept screwing up with my airbrush spattering black dye all over my wine red base. So I primed it to do a sparkle with rattle cans and it looked like crap, then I dyed the whole thing black but used...

Alright man, here's what you've got to do... Submix these things. Solo all your background vocals and get them mixed down into a stereo track. Or a pair of stereo tracks if you prefer, but you need to mix them down. And then bounce them over to a track with all the compression and EQ (not...

Or spend the right amount of time killing rattles and deadening panels and floors in your car so you lower noise and don't have to crank it as much. I never needed any kind of "loud" button after I tweaked my car stereo. I would tune it so it sounds right at medium volumes (loud talking) and...

Sweet...I can't wait until my eBay stuff sells and I can order the MacBook :cool:

I'm ripping out my hair. I can barely mix a song without the program crashing over and over again. Luckily, this is the last project I'm mixing before I sell the PC and all my stuff and go Mac. EDIT: And as you can see from my sig, I'm not a moron, I just can't seem to keep everything playing...

To get that short fat drum sound from Metallica and Pantera, you should go with a 2-ply head with muffling on top. Go for a set of Pinstripes, Powerstroke 4's, or EC2's. I'd go clear for extra attack. On the bottom, I'd do Ambassadors or G1's. Some people like Ebony Ambassadors which are a...

Mesa sure as hell doesn't make preamp tubes. They are almost always relabeled Chinese 12AX7's (Shuguang I believe). I had a Univalve, which REALLY tells the tube tone and I was not happy. I would go with a Mullard (usually about $20) or an EI. Go with an Electro Harmonix for a bit grittier...

I had a system in my car worth over $2k...I spent six years getting it just right. I always knew exactly what something should sound like in there... Then I sold the car and started a new system but ran out of time and money. So now I have no idea what anything I mix sounds like. :(

For recording, I will take any amp that has a vintage sounding clean channel along with a couple pedals. For $400 I would get either: - Used Fender Blues Junior ($300), a Marshall Guv'nor ($60) and a Bad Monkey ($40) - New Vox Valvetronix AD30 ($250), a Marshall Guv'nor ($60) and a Bad Monkey...

Going to be doing lots of auctions here, so I'll give you guys a heads up. Nady RSM-3 by Alctron Ribbon Microphone Behringer ADA8000 8-Channel Preamp and A-D Converter WITH custom patch cables

Recording actually sounds really good with the exception of the drums! Really good. I love the song too...it sounds like a cross between Static Prevails era Jimmy Eat World and Domestica era Cursive...two of my favorite discs. A big part of what I would do is use the soundscape a little...

Not all that bad really. Snare - loosen up your snares and tighten the heads. I can hear an overtone of the snare when you hit it which is telling me the snares are too tight and the bottom head is too loose. If you like the tension of the top head, some moongel on top will help. Toms - seem...

Exactly why I don't like RAID. It's not terribly efficient and I've encountered too many problems with striping.

I don't like RAID. I never have. The way I see it, you have your main drive for O/S and program installations and a secondary hard drive for all your data and documents. This works just fine for 99% of the people. If you want to be ultra redundant, get a third hard drive and copy the...

Well this one's Firewire...do you you have Firewire on your laptop? Edirol UA-25 EMU 0404 Those two won't have the nice pres and converters, but they'll get the job done. I can say that the EMU has great drivers for XP and has been incredibly stable (I have the 1820). Basically, you plug...

Presonus Firebox Shouldn't have a latency problem. Good reputation.

Depending on how soon you're looking to move, I'll be selling my Pentium 4 3.0 with 1 gig of dual channel DDR 3200 (Corsair CL2) and Intel 865 board. It'd probably be $200 plus shipping for the whole deal. Anyways, new, I'd probably go Athlon 64 3800+ AM2 ($115), an ASUS AM2 board ($75), and a...

Long story short, the Core 2 Duo (C2D) improves performance by 5 - 15% at the same power consumption and heat. The architecture of the chip allows it to move information a lot faster and more efficiently, even at the same clock speeds. It also is a 64-bit chip and can run the new Leopard OSX...
