I worked with a guy that had one as a test unit for an engineering firm I worked for. I wouldn't the added complexity with the external pump required to circulate the water.

OK. So it's SSD's for both. I have an existing 2TB USB backup for that as well. So regardless of drive type... A boot and a separate project drive like before. Thanks for the help.

So my current 10 year old Reaper DAW has a 256GB spinning boot disk (7200rpm). I have a second 500GB spinning HD for my project files. I did this setup for faster read-writes. I'm looking at a new system with at least one SSD boot drive. I found two decent deals. One is a Dell with a 256GB SSD...

Considering many of us (of a certain age) miss the brick and mortar. Online has changed things. Yes, I miss the days of West LA music here in Los Angeles. Where you had "a" sales person that got to know you. That said, Sweetwater for being online does do a great job with their sales model.

Just look at the pinned What DAW are you using? right at the top.

Great ideas. My existing setup is a 500GB main HD drive for apps and sound libraries, a 500GB second HD drive that I store and load my musics projects from. Then of course a 2TB external USB drive that I back everything up to. I plan the same setup on the new PC except SSD's for both internals...

Thanks all for the help. I get the GAS part of purchasing as I just bought two guitar pedals this year... The first time in 15 years! My existing PC while finer for Reaper ahs started to act up. Old standard hard drives. I get USB errors on startup. And the graphics card is starting to flicker...

Well it's finally time to do a complete DAW workstation upgrade for Reaper. My current Windows PC is one I built many moons ago. It's worked really great for a long time. But it's showing it's age: I5-750 @2.67ghz (1rst generation... Old!), 12gb ram, 500gb HD (x2) not SSD's. External USB b/u...

Found this great little video from Sweetwater about mic placement in front of a guitar cab. Pretty demonstrative way to show the differences in distance.

My humble little upstairs songwriter's studio. Works for me!

I just installed it. Looks like it's replaced OpenOffice (I've had that since 2013). Opens and saves the same file extension. Off to find the chord extension. I do songwriting as a hobby and that will be an great help!

Old post I know but... This looks cool! This? https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/chorddiagrams I use OpenOffice, I assume Libreoffice is the update to the orig OpenOffice?

Yes, keeping it simple! I installed batteries and everything was dead quiet. So then I put the Boss PSM-5 back in... A bit of hum comes back Then I daisy chained the 9v power into my tuner and out to the rest without the PSM-5 (my new Korg tuner has a 9v out which is cool). Dead quiet. But my...

Good idea on using batteries to test because then they are isolated. I'll give that a try after I replace all the cabling as they are many years old and cause hum when moved. The Boss pedals are from the 80's as well as the Ibanez delay. I have not touched them in years. Was not sure about using...

So after many years, I'm finally upgrading my guitar effects board. My pedals are currently a few old Boss units with one analog Ibanez delay. I'm still using a Boss PSM-5 P/S to power them. I just added a JHS 3 series chorus, Korg Pitchback tuner, and still waiting for delivery of the JHS Andy...

Thanks all for the suggestions. My first thought of using an attenuater was that even an 8 watt can be loud relative to my poor little home studio. It seems that at 10:00pm, The Champ at 7 does put out some volume. I don't currently have an attenuator so thought I'd hear from other users.The...

Long shot question but... Anyone here used an attenuator on an older Fender Champ for recording? I've Googled a bit but not found a good referral or test.

Yep, ear height. Like others said, 90% of us are stuck in rooms with 8' ceilings which is exactly wrong for a perfect studio. That said, treating the room as best you can will work fine for most. I have an exactly wrong room that is 12x12x8' tall. I put a 4x4 roxul cloud overhead which helps I...

Glad I popped into this thread when I did. Had no idea about the drummer vs audience setting. It was defaulted to drummer. I'll play with this. As others mentioned EZD2 with all their available midi packs and drum kits, lots of options! That said, for this simple songwriter, there is enough...

Was just getting a feel for how ya'll use EZD. I've only used EZD's built in mixer as it's convenient. There are various mixing options of reverb, bleed, OH, dynamics, etc depending on the kit I choose. I'm not too concerned with the separate mixing window. I am thinking I should start using...
