Like the others said, don't waste your money on a soundhole pick-up, Please! A Guild jumbo is just too sweet a guitar. I know a woman who has a Guild outfitted with a fishman thinline that sounds really nice, but I'd hate to molest a jumbo in any way. A Guild jumbo is the first thing I'm...

Reading into your question, I'm guessing you're asking because you are thinking of booking some studio time, yes? No? Like everybody else says, it depends. I think it goes without saying that you don't want to be rehearsing while you're on the clock. This advice helps to tighten up any...

Actually I think the add-on has its own analog inputs. You know, I was thinking that for the price of a TMD1k you could probably get another somewhere down the road and use it with the motu (which i think has 2 TDIF's right?) I don't have this setup but I did do some research on it, so you'd...

The digital in's on the TMD (ch. 9-16) are a foldback for monitoring channels 1-8. You have to buy the mixer add-ons to get 16 channels of input, then I think you need another TDIF to run those into your computer. MOTU is definitely a reputable company and the 2408 is top notch stuff, but with...

Yeah, $1500 is a great deal! With Fx? I know they're supposed to be standard on american models. The cheapest I've found is through Musicians Friend for $1900. I figured I could get zzounds to match or beat the price and not pay tax or shipping. The nearest GC is in Cleveland or DC, either...

I agree with Skyline...I think. If you want to split hairs, you might call the same thing coming from both speakers "useless stereo" or "stereo that might as well be mono". Skyline, tell me if we're in agreement here, the pan control on a channel strip would better be described as the first...

Buck, Doesn't sound like anything's gonna work the easy way here. At best, sounds like you can run two monos in at a time (you may be able to do this as a digital transfer depending on the outputs on the Korg) onto the akai's HD, then re-format the Jazz and save it back to disk. These are my...

No shit???!!!

Another way that involves 2 tracks (as is necessary for stereo) is to run a direct out from a recorded track through some effects like reverb & delay or amp and record that effected signal to another track. Of course you need to have the track space... Since I'm broke, I try to use the room...

Ametth, I generally do something similar. Since my friends and I haven't been getting together too much in the last year, the other guitarist and I record demos first, with me on drums. Then we boss around the drummer, telling him to play exactly what I play on the demo, only cleaner and...

Seems to me that open mics have, at once, a more attentive audience, and among the worst performances. If I have an itch to play in front of people (to try out new songs, or just plunk out a few covers) I'll go. A friend of mine regularly hosts an open mic. I applaud him for his patience and...

If you're talking about recording the snare, I have never gotten a satisfactory snare sound without micing the bottom head as well (57's and 58's are all I have at my disposal). This might just be my problem, but it might be an option you wish to try. Also, i think piccolo snares cut through a...

I kind of believe that tone is something that happens in an environment. Close mics give punch, but often lack tone and depth. A way I've found to get a nice sound is to place the amp facing a corner 8-10 feet away, close micing the cab. Place another mic in the corner facing away from the cab...

I have a seymore duncan Woody II. If your only concern is amplifying the signal, well...It'll do that. But its pretty much a bottomfeeder when it comes to sounding like an acoustic. A lot of folks here talk about the RL Baggs Para DI or something like that. I've heard a fishman thinline that...

Lennon songs get me for some reason. Woman: Used to think it was kind of cheesy, then one day I just fell in love with it. Mother: Primal Scream therapy makes you write about your childhood. This one really hurts. Beautiful Boy: Given the context that Lennon was killed shortly after this song...

Congratulations Buck! What do you mean far from big-time? That's great news. I would think this would be the best, most exciting time! Good for you.

2lim, Sorry, I think I may have misled you with the tascam 8tr. reference. I meant the cassette type, though I couldn't remember the model#. I think its the Portastudio 688. I think it has only recently been discontinued. Lots of *thinking* huh? I get most of my info. 2nd hand from the...

I almost bought one of them when I got my 424 a couple of years ago. The reason I didn't is because the heads on the 424 are (Servo?) controlled (meaning not manual) So you have to have the power on to raise the heads. Knowing that the power should not be on when you demag, I didn't buy it. I...

Congrats Kikling!! Wanna know how I did my fist multitrack recordings when I was 14? I'd tape myself playing a rhythm on a boom box, next I'd take that tape and crank it in my home stereo and play a lead along with it, all the while recording onto another tape on the boom box. I still have...

If you want 8 track simultaneous recording (which I'm guessing you do for recording live) I'm pretty sure the yamaha MD 8 is the only standalone out there right now that will do it. should cost about a grand +/- $50. For a few bucks more, there's the new fostex 16 track, but I don't know much...
