Seems like everyone likes to show what they think is their best stuff on this board. I thought I'd start a new trend. My studio partner and myself had the opportunity to do the background music for a film on ballooning for the Discovery Channel around 10 years ago that unfortunately never saw...

So you're what? About 12 or 13?:rolleyes:

Lowden, Martin (the older scalloped-braced ones anyway, providing you can find one that doesn't have a cracked top) and Olsen are the only 3 on the list I would even consider although I'd certainly throw Alverez into the fold if you were talking about certain Yairi models. Taylors are great if...

The Master and the Musician had electric stuff too but was primarilly acoustic and is simply the quentissential Keaggy recording. One of the best albums ever made. He went downhill fast after that I think (around 1978 or so.) He still has his moments though, that's for sure. You know, the Glass...

I'm not sure when the following were invented but they came into their own during the 80's. Alternate synth trigguring devices such as guitar sythns and drum pads. DX synth based sounds. (First decent non-analog synths) Work Stations. Cassette multi-trackers. Digital Effects (especially...

I'm not sure about that particular DBX unit but I used a four channel DBX Type One Pro (4 channels) with an old Teac 3440 years ago. On certain things it did great and on others (especially bass guitar) it pumped and breathed like crazy. That was long ago though and from what I understand DBX NR...

Find Fast is a Windows program that makes your programs open up much faster than they otherwise would. I'm not really sure how it works but I guess it's something along the lines of a cashe or temp file. Anyhow, it hangs up a lot. If you're sure you're not having trouble with it then I guess you...

I may be wrong but but I'll bet MS Messenger is running in the background and you just don't realize it. I believe it likes to install itself on the start menu. Try this: Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/ Sytem Information. Then click on the "Tools" tab followed by "System Configuration...

Well, I always hated "overly" compressed drums or anything else for that matter. I never could listen to a Boston or Van Halen album for very long before ear fatigue set in. That's especially true of VH's compressed cymbals which sound horrid to me. I guess a lot depends on how carried away you...

Hmm...a sticky wicket indeed. I've never seen anyone use a batch bay with their guitar setup before. I guess there's nothing wrong with it. I used one for years with my old reel to reel studio and it sure was a time saver. I never noticed any degradation in the sound either but then again I...

I couldn't disagree more. I reckon I've played with at least half the jazz muisicans in St. Louis over the past 25 years and I've yet to meet one that even owned a metronome. We tend to keep time just fine. If you're not born with it you'll never have it. It's as simple as that. Think what you...

If you have a sense of the beat, you already have rhthym, thus, nothing to learn. At least I never did and don't know any other musicians that needed to learn it. if they did I'd strongly suspect they never lasted long at learning an instrument. Maybe I'm wrong but I never met any good musicians...

Also.... It looks like you're using 2 audio cards simultaniously, no? I don't know how much more system resources it takes to run 2 at the same time coz I've never done it but that could be a contributing factor I suppose. ASIO drivers have to do with midi and synth stuff mostly and being a...

Hey Maston; long time no see. If it's a 6 gig drive then I'll assume it's not exactly a speed demon so that's part of the problem. There are a lot of things you can do to free up system resources. I'll assume you've already disabled your screen saver (and I also would turn off the power-down...

Double picking is called alternate picking now and fingerpicking has turned into fingerstyle. It's like all those dopey books in the business section at the bookstore; every one of them saying the same damn thing, just making up a new term for it. Why do people have to keep changing things? I'm...

You already know what to do, just keep running those scales up and down the fret board day after day for at least an hour and don't stop until you can double pick like Steve Morse except without distortion. ;) If you can play it clean then you'll certainly be able to play it distorted. And...

Hmm...I'm not sure of the reason but I have both GT Pro and Cool Edit 2000 (w/the 4-track plugin) and CE just seems to record everything better. It's never once locked up my system (W98 2nd Ed.) I have a sleep disorder and one night decided to try and record myself sleeping (listening for...

I agree heartilly with the Elderly recommendation. I ordered a Sunrise preamp from them over the internet once and they answered my emails and did everything else in as timely and professional a manner as you could possibly hope for. If you're looking for bargain deals on vintage stuff you...

Nope.

I disagree with that depending on several conditions. First, there are at least three different models of that guitar but only one has those George Benson pickups. As long as you play that particular model and play it clean your gonna have that sound which is so well associated with the man...
