I've been doing some solo acoustic gigs using my SWR California Blonde II for my PA - just my vox and acoustic guitar. I have a channel strip for my acoustic so I can compress and EQ it slightly, but on vocals, I've just been using a 25 year old SM57 - which sounds pretty good, actually, but has...

Washburn - I appreciate and am relieved at your words of encouragement, especially re being able to use SONAR 7 with the Alesis. More than a few times I have noticed that just because a version of a product it the newest available, that doesn't mean it's the best. Windows XP, for example, is...

I have an Alesis MasterControl firewire interface/controller on the way and I have a couple of questions. I plan to stick with SONAR, which I haven't used in some time. This is on my Sweetwater Creation Station PC, BTW, with dual core 2.66 GHz processor running Windows XP. Will I have to upgrade...

I sold the MacBook I was advertising, and now want to move the Digidesign 003 Rack Factory, and I want to do so pronto, so listen up, buckaroos - I'm slashing prices to the bone. I have receipts - the goods were purchased on 7/31/09. The 003 Rack, with a ton of Plug-ins and PT DAW software cost...

Pro Tools turned out to be far too complex for my needs. I'm going back to SONAR on a PC. As a result, I have the following basically brand new equipment for sale: 1) MacBook Pro - purchased 08/09 for $2800. 17" LED Hi-res; 3.06 GHz duo processor; 4GB DDR3; 500 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive. Includes...

I have a 5-CD set of drum loops from Sony called "Drums From the Big Room" that i will mail to the first person to put $15 for shipping into my paypal account. PM me - first come, first served. They sound fine; it's just that I'm learning to drum as well as play guitar, bass and harp, and got a...

Don't forget me! Let's not forget me. Extremely reliable. Very, very dependa...just a minute, please. (I asked you not to call me here!) (I don't have your money!) (go to hell, chump!) Ah...excuse me. Where were we...? caveat emptor, My Friends, Rudi

So how do I get it to stop?

Sorry - I'm a little slow on the pickup here. Do you mean because I'm starting from zero, that becomes the insertion point? Not sure if I know what you mean...?

Ditto, Frank. Any friend of Mr. Tele is a friend of mine. That's a US-made '52 reissue I bought from the Custom Shop about 5 years ago. Great, great tone and playability. It's my deserted island guitar...unless there were no electricity on said island, in which case it would be my Hummingbird...

Hello - I wonder if anyone knows how to turn OFF the "return to zero" function when recording? I'm running a 003 Rack Factory with PT 8 and a MacBook pro, and I want the marker to stay where it is when I press "stop"...instead of instantly snapping back to zero. Thank you kindly, Rudi

Nah...I actually don't indulge any more - to quote Devo: "There's too much paranoias..." But, I've just been reading an excellent biography of Joe Strummer ("Redemption Song - The Ballad of Joe Strummer" by Chris Salewicz, Farber & Farber, 2007) and it talks about one of the things Joe used to...

Thanks guys - also for teaching me where to look for this stuff. I have the disk and will just hold tight until Avid sez "go". Rudi

Ditto. Just blew a load of money on a 17" macbook pro - upgraded to 3.06 Ghz processor and 7200rpm/500GB drive - like buttah. Smooooooth. Worth the $2800

Hi y'all. I've finally got Pro tools LE 8 up and running on my new MacBook Pro and am sending my audio via firewire to a Glyph drive. What a gorgeous setup - and I'm only scratching the surface of the capabilities of Pro Tools. Everything is running so smoothly that this is my fear: since I just...

Hello recordists: I'm making some serious changes in my studio and wanted to ask some advice. For years now, I've been running various iterations of Cakewalk SONAR. For the past 4-5 years, I've been using a Tascam FW-1884 as my mixer/breakout box. Sadly, I would not recommend this unit to...

sorry - I'm still not clear. Do you mean like burn it to CD then run the CD through the box? Isn't there some way to do it as if my voiceworks were a plug-in? Do you know what I mean? For example, I can add reverb to my vocal track from a plug-in...A/B it so I can hear it dry vs wet, etc...

Hi everyone. Time to display my ignorance (not to be confused with stupidity, please!). I recently bought a TC Helicon Voiceworks box for harmony generation and pitch correction. The unit works just fine when I plug a mic into the xlr inputs - the harmony doesn't even sound too cheesy, and I...
