    Avid Eleven Rack vs Logic Amp Designer

    Are you asking about the phyisical 11 rack, or the plugin software? Amp Designer is software only, right?

    What's the story with Epiphone?

    I went to GC last week and looked at the SG'S. A gazillion models are all the same guitar with minor variations. They didn't have one in stock, but I think like the 2013 Standard best. Theyhave apprently streamlined the SG by incorporating the favorite features of the various classics, the...

    What's the story with Epiphone?

    Second hand would seem smart in this case; get a good deal and you can simply "park" the funds until you want to upgrade, while enjoying the use of a new guitar.

    Pedal Question

    Hey Bob, Tell me more: You've mentioned more than once your ambivalence about the Fulldrive 2, do other users bring up the same "fizz" issues? Are you sure it is not from your amp? It appears to have a lot of potential. How about the Bad Monkey or the Juice Box? What about Klon Klone? How...

    What's the story with Epiphone?

    None of it really matters (unless you are getting paid to do it). Being a hobby, in the end it's whatever floats your boat. Some of us even work alone. The differences in quality of manufacture between 1st and 2nd tier guitar makes are glaringly obvious. That doesn't mean 2nd tier instruments...

    Poll: Most Overrated Guitar Player OAT

    It was at least the point of my post. :) I was commenting in a roundabout way that I have more respect for a less technically skilled player that "gets it," than some of the super technical guitar virtuoso's that a lot of today's amateur guitar players like to drool over. But referring to...

    New amp for Greg - Bladow! (lots of pics)

    I just took delivery, last week, of a JVM215 50 watt 1x12 combo. I've been playing my Strat through it. I think it is a phenomenal amplifier with many varied and superb tonal possibilities. I have to disagree about the colored buttons being nothing more than different gain settings. I think...

    Poll: Most Overrated Guitar Player OAT

    The reason Jimi, Jimmy, Eric, Rory, Stevie, Slash, The Edge, et al get the love, IMO, is the emotion that they were able to convey with their playing. I think technical ability alone falls short of the mark (not to say that they don't have the chops, but that they also know how to get the "mood"...

    What's the story with Epiphone?

    I only play in my living room. If it doesn't say Les Paul or Stratocaster on it, not even my dogs respect me, let alone my lady friends.

    Is there anyway to tighten up a set neck?

    ^^ I did that once, took me two days to figure out what was buzzing, then I realized, "oh, it's in two parts."^^

    Pedal Question

    Hi Bob, I have a TC Hall of Reverb! What settings do you like to use on it? I have enough pedals to fill a board, I just need to get using them. I've got a Timmy pedal for clean boost & natural sounding grit/dirt, a Ratt Pedal for noise, along with a Keeley mod ts-808. I just got a Fulltone...

    Cleaning volume knobs

    I would try using DeoxIT to clean the pots, followed up by Faderlube to lube them.

    General DAW Questions

    I can't imagine why a looped phrase would have an inconsistent signal level, it doesn't make sense. Does your compressor permit you to view raw and processed levels? That might be a better place to observe its effect when you are using it.

    Can perspiration damage your guitar?

    You should put some baby powder on it to soak up the sweat.

    Connecting Hardware Synth Module and Axiom 25 Keyboard Controller - Mbox 3

    OK, two more hours and I finally have the MIDI track triggering the external unit. I had to set the control to USB in the Axiom, so that the MIDI out from the controller would originate from Pro Tools. The weird thing thing is that in order to audition it I have had to create a second Aux...

    Connecting Hardware Synth Module and Axiom 25 Keyboard Controller - Mbox 3

    OK, 10 hours later... I've managed to set up the Axiom keyboard and record MIDI, via the USB. It is also controlling the U220 (via MIDI in / out on the Axiom 25) and I am able to trigger the synth and hear it on my Aux track. I am also able to insert a virtual instrument (Vacuum) on the Aux...

    Pro Tools 11 announced.

    Good! I remember now that the first 11R I bought only had 8 LE on it. I returned it and bought a new box with 9 (+ free upgrade to 10) plus the 11R expansion pack on it. One of the few deals that I have conducted through Sweetwater (the first unit was purchased at GC), and I'm glad I did. They...

    Pro Tools 11 announced.

    Can you open a support ticket? If the others are getting it you should be able to find someone at Avid that will provide you with at least a mercy upgrade to 10. My eleven rack came with PT 8le with some sort of sideways upgrade to 9 that had an automatic upgrade to 10 (!). I'm sticking at 10...
