Some will say that the way to do it is to play through an amp and mike the amp. Using a smaller amp is popular to get that "turned all the way up" distortion as opposed to using a master volume function on a bigger amp. The argument for miking is that the sound is a real recording of a "played...

The lyrics don't sound that stupid to me. I mean they aren't any poetice masterpiece but what the hell. Couldn't listen ... the link doesn't work for me either. tom

Actually, as a old ex soldier, this verse is the only one I like, the rest being to anti-war for my taste. Perhaps today's soldiers in today's war would not agree, but I remember having these feelings, even after all the pre-deployment propoganda aimed at answering such questions. Perhaps is...

Nice Lyrics. One change to consider: Will we be warmed by fire still? -> Will the fire warm us still? In this case I think that active voice sounds more artistic. Tom

What made a a difference for me was getting an inexpensive home keyboard, and through using it learning just enough about theory to understand how certain chords make up a key, and certain songs can "modulate" from key to key in nice sounding ways. Somehow the relationships are more apparent...

Thanks bagpipe. I have to drive a while to get to a place I can play a PRS, but I think I'll do that. If you as a real deal US PRS player think highly of them, it means something. Tom

I have a squire whose neck I like a lot, and the idea of better pickup and better keys is intriguing as I have yet to play a Mexi Strat that feels anywhere near as good. Question 1 : What pickups? What I would like to do is still have a nice single coil sound but much less (or no) buzz when...

Hi bagpipe -- did you just heat the Korean PRS or play it it? If so, how was the feel of it? Tom

Angus Young on a tele? Don't think so. Pedals can only do so much! I played an epi 335 and thought it very nice for the price range, and quite comparable to a real deal 335 I had played a long while ago. I played both Gibson LP and SG in the old days and would choose the light weight of the...

WOW!!!!!! Great recording, great voice, and great sounding guitars -- all six of 'em. Just one question -- the streaming window shows a Squire Strat. For real? Tom

Uh huh I had a PC with a SCSI HD on a PC years back (pre Win 95) for that reason, and all our PCs and Unix servers at work had them too because the throughput was important to the high-end desktop publishing apps we were running in those days when 180MB was a big drive. Tom

The Japanese on this web page appears to say that AKM 24-bit A-D and D-A are "adopted". Other than that I don't see any clue to an advantage over the DP01, unless it is the CF version, of which details are pretty sketchy. Tom

Nope -- its a SCSI drive, not a IDE drive like used in PCs. I seem to recall that SCSIs were used in MACs at one time; maybe they still are -- I don't know MACs. Tom

Interesting ... and reason to reconsider the box .... any of the recorded tracks can be exported a mono track? Standard CD format readable in a PC? Do you know the firmware version needed? Tom

To post you music on the internet, you need to get it into MP3 file form, get the file onto your computer, and upload it to a website such as soundclick.com which allows users to post their recordings for free. Supposedly the H4 will record directly to an MP3, in which case you can connect the...

Some of what I "write" is R&B oriented using traditional chord progressions. For the rest its 90% instinct -- meaning that within me that says what sounds good and is done naturally. 10% is theory in those moments when searching for the "right" next chord or modulation, which often happens near...

Late but ... I too have considered a used 788 for its low cost ability to record 6 tracks at once. However, I do not think it will export WAV files, which the DP will do according to the manual. If this is the case it I think it would limit exporting to your PC for mastering, or to a...

I can't afford a real Strat so I use a Squire Standard. For me, the neck feels and plays better than anything I ever owned and played in the old days -- which included Gibson MM, LP, LP jr and SG. The set necks were too finicky, the the bridge pins to flimsy for the beating i gave them. So if...

Hey Dani, Kinda L Skynard sounding -- kind of seems intentionally so to me, but then Southern rock is not a style I have listened to a lot, so perhaps other groups are samey sounding. Heres's another vote for too long. I would elimimate all but the last 8 bars of the lead-in. IMO you should...

Hey Intripdo, If I am not mistaken. "DB25" is really just the designation for the connector, but the term is often mistakenly used for refer a cable. In the case of a (non-MAC) PC applications, the only such cables (DB25 and both ends) I know of are RS-232 cables for serial data connections to...
