    What are motorized faders for?

    I tried researching this but couldn't find anything. Why would you want faders to be motorized, and if you have them, what next?

    SM57 or SM58? There can be only 1!

    I don't like either of them, they're the exact same mic so who cares. I read they can be modded so I'm going to give that a shot.

    Who Is Better Jimi Hendrix or Jimmy Page

    I prefer Hendrix because I like him more as a character, not based on their actual playing styles, which I love both.

    Just Bought a Tube Amp

    So I finally upgraded my marshall solidstate small amp and got a tube amp with a 12 inch speaker. I absolutely love and it have been practicing with it for hours on end. I have to pry myself away to make sure I eat. My conclusion after having used it a bunch now is that a tube amp is definitely...

    Tube Mics, vs FET Mics

    I have a few questions about this. In your guy's opinion, which if these two categories do you find better sounding or more useful on vocals? OR, are they really equally useful and some just sound better on different people's voices? This is assuming you could have/afford any mic you chose in...

    Low-Watt tube recording amp

    I just bought an epiphone valve junior, the stack with the 12 inch speaker, and I am literally ecstatic. It can be super quiet, or loud enough to play in big bar, and it still sounds awesome.

    I Need a great Mic for no more than $400

    I recommend an Oktava Mic. I just got mine, and I'm super happy with the sound, and you can get them upgraded in the future if you wish. Mk-219 is what I have but the Mk-319 and 2500 are the higher up models, you can still get those for less then 400 on ebay. The difference with these is that...

    Recording guitars effectively - Tips and tricks

    I use a small Marshall solid state amp, which I'm shopping around to upgrade now. I got a way bigger sound out of it though by double tracking using both the line out directly to my computer, and also using a microphone. I used a cheap Nady LDC, for some reason I didn't use my sm57 not sure why...

    To Click or Not to Click

    I don't have the option of tempo mapping now. I used a click on the last 2 songs I did so I could use the software drum machine I have,(garageband). For me it definitely takes away from the flow of the performance. The song doesn't have a sense of flow any more. I would rather not use it...

    Any Favorite Acoustics?

    There's a black martin cutaway that I'm totally obsessed with right now. To my ears its the best acoustic I've ever tried. Its the thin body one. I'm pretty sure its 600$. When you have a 1500-2000$ guitar, aren't you afraid to take it anywhere? Or do you want it just to use at home or in studio?

    I hate reverb.

    by analog, I just meant non-digital.

    I hate reverb.

    Well, its all about what kind of reverb. If I had an old vintage high quality analog reverb box, I would love reverb like nothing else! But if all we have to work with is simulated software virtual wannabe reverb... Maybe if you have the top of the line Lexicon software or whatever, but that...

    How Many Guitars do you own

    I only have 2 a yamaha classical and a Pacifica. Both sound great, but I've been severely lusting after new guitars. There's a black Martin I desperately want, and I'm also in the market for a fender strat. My deal is I will probably only buy guitars that cost under 400$ because I actually like...

    Is having a mic pre unit compulsary for vocal?

    I've heard good things about the electro-harmonix mic pre. I'm going to be buying one soon and I'll try to post some sound samples.

    Shure 57 vs Shure 58

    I prefer the SM57, but for vocals both of them sounded terrible with my voice. (baritone opera singer). They seemed to shape it in a weird way bringing out too much midrange, and not capturing enough. A lot of people seem to like them for voice though, I suggest you get them somewhere that has a...

    worth spending more than $1000 on a guitar?

    Yeah I'm not big on the sound of the ibanez pickups either. Maybe you could switch them out. I have a yamaha pacifica which sounds ok for 200$. I know this amazing guitar player who designs equipment for ehx, and he told me if you look you can find epiphone les pauls that sound just as good as...

    Could I damage my Condenser Mic with Voice?

    Haha, yeah, only Chewy might have that issue. Seriously just clipping I've made the same mistake a bunch of times. 1. Dont' sing right in the mic 2. Keep the gain low.

    worth spending more than $1000 on a guitar?

    Well, right now I feel kind of stupid and smart at the same time. I lost a bid on ebay for a 1967 strat that sold for like 650. The reason I didn't bid more was because it was on ebay and I didn't have the chance to play the damn thing, for all I know it sounds terrible. Also I have my eye on a...

    Oktava Mk-219 vs. Mk-319

    Yeah, I have a feeling it won't be too long before I send it in for mod. I do want to experiment with it for a while and get a good feel for the tone of it first, so I can really appreciate the improvements.
