    Head/cab vs combo... whats the benefit?

    So, other than being able to mix and match the head with other cabs, whats the benefit over that and a combo amp? I'm looking to sell my "starter" amp (a carvin 100w combo) for something else. I'm leaning towards orange amps, but that's all not really the point of this post. What I want to...

    Thinline Tele '72 RI FS/T with acoustic

    Just thought I'd chime in... don't be put off by in being MiM. I play that exact same model, and it's great. Very versitle guitar, I'd only avoid it if you're into really hard rock/speed metal.

    Portable stereo mic recordings

    I'm looking to do some portable sound capturing, not recording actual musical performances necessarily, but getting 'sounds'. I'd like to be able to capture this in stereo, so 2 mic inputs would be necessary, as well as phantom power if the mics need it. I currently use a laptop with a...

    Presonus Firebox not getting signal...

    Is it connected to speakers, or are you only monitering through the headphones? If so, make sure in the firebox mixer program you headphones are set to "mix".

    Clicks at Start of Audio

    I'm not sure this is correct, but it sounds like it would work... for auto copying the fades, try bouncing down the faded track. I think that makes an audio file which has the fade info apart of it.

    Suicide is Painless - M*A*S*H

    Wow, those are possibly the darkest lyrics I've read. Anyway, I have a guitar techniques mag laying around that i'll dig up. It has a beautiful rendition of this song fingerpicked for acoustic. Maybe I'll fire up my scanner and pm it if i find it, and you're interested. You should have a...

    Getting firewire on laptop

    Since it's a firepod, I'd avoid NEC controller chipsets. Get a card with a TI or VIA chipset. I have a firebox and presonus has acknowledged it has issues with the NEC, so wouldn't personally chance it with a generic chipset like you'll find in a lot of those cards off ebay. YMMV

    WTF... Cubase LE mixing help please!

    I did mess with the monitor buttons, to no effect. I had driver conflicts originally, and found out the nec chipset firewire cards had problems with the firebox. While this wasn't my problem originally, now that I have it in working order I believe I'm now noticing the chipset conflict. It's...

    a question about mic positioning

    Funny you asked that. My recording class just made a trip to a stuido and the question came up why the mics were upsidedown. My prof said that's pretty much done because that's how it's always been done, which probably holds a lot of truth. I'll have to let him know the 'real' reason.

    Cubase Le guide

    use the .pdf files that came with LE. It spells out all the basics you need. There's the 'getting started' file, and the full manual for when you need to know something a bit more in depth.

    WTF... Cubase LE mixing help please!

    Nope, not a bus output problem. The audio settings didn't change between saving and loading. I did some editing with my internal soundcard as the device, and had no problems. I think it might be my pcmcia firewire card, or just issues with the firebox. I had some problems getting it up and...

    WTF... Cubase LE mixing help please!

    This was the first recording project I've done with Cubase. While in the session, I had no problem playing the audio back for hearing how it sounded, and overdubs, etc. I saved the work, shut everything down and headed home to do mixing/editing. I opened cubase, opened the .cpr file, and...

    WTF... Cubase LE mixing help please!

    I haven't tried that... but, how do I do that? I looked through the menus and can't seem to figure it out. I tried selecting the audio in the pool, and inserting to origin. Still no go. Edit: So I started a new project, opened the pool, inserted the audio, then inserted the audio to tracks...

    WTF... Cubase LE mixing help please!

    I just got home from recording at a friends using my firebox, and got my stuff hooked up to my monitors to do some editing. But cubase isn't playing back any audio when I open the file. I can get songs (not the recorded files) to play in windows media, so I know everything is physically...

    Can this be right? (recent photo of famous guitarist)

    I'm very much not a fan of EVH, or tapping.... but, it's sad to see him like that, I hope it was just a bad picture of him. I saw that video (I think the first I've ever bothered of watching of his) and there's no denying his playing talent. Tapping doesn't terribly impress me, but there's a...

    tips for mixing bands with 3 guitars?

    Great advice southside. I personally don't have much mixing experience, but listen to your favorite records with 2+ guitars. I personally like listening to music which has each guitar sound different. Unless you're going for an effect like in 'Cocaine' by Clapton (that's actually 3 takes I...

    Best General VSTi for about $200?

    I've been looking around at some packages, Halion is right. Basically, each need you listed (bass, brass, general, etc) would each be a seperate package. I'd suggest deciding which one you need the most, and get that package. $200 would be pretty easy to spend on just one of those...

    Sampling Is This What It Is?

    Would a CME UF6 (midi controller) be able to trigger samples using cubase? If not in cubase, using any program? Does someone have a link which explains how to do this for a beginner? Basically, I'm looking at getting a uf6 with some soft synths and samples to lay down bass and drum tracks...
