    XLR-mic in Tascam 424 II

    Thanks! I'll go to my local dealer tomorrow and get such a cable! Makes you wonder why the Sennheiser company didn't provide such a magic cable in the first place... Thanks again! Dirk Demon

    Cloud Expertise?

    A cloud... Hmm. Rather... eer.. let's say unusual. Is it just pure esthaetical or does it have a function of some sort... Anyway, for the filling I'm thinking cotton buds or something, it's cheap and fluffy. Good luck with your cloud! Dirk Demon

    XLR-mic in Tascam 424 II

    Hi everyone! Maybe a stupid question, but I have a Sennheiser mic wich has a XLR-output, but my mic-cable has an XLR input (mic) and a jack output (to tascam). My Tascam 424 II does have XLR-inputs, can I just go to ye olde music shoppe and buy a special XLR-in/XLR-out cable or am I missing...

    Brand Names

    Hi Michael, Gibs is right (as usual), the Excalibur is a model from the Vigier company. If you're interested, I have an old issue of "Total Guitar" with a review of this axe in it, and if I'm not mistaken there was even a CD that came with the magazine with a song on it that was played on this...

    Starting from the very beginning

    Hi! You said you're completely new to computing, maybe it's a wise choise to get a shore Windows-course or something, or do you know that already? Oh, shoot, of course you know, otherwise you would't be surfing on the net, would you? Anyway, maybe you should check out a used mac (maybe 1 or 2...

    ATTN Newbies loads of information on this site!

    Hi everybody! I just visited the SAE-site some of the pros on this site keep referring to, and you just won't believe the amount of useful information on it! It's also fun to read! So if you want to know: * about acoustics * about different types of mics * how to record different instruments *...

    What's the difference between Rave and Hardcore? Anyone know?

    Okay, It's not my kind of thing, but here it is. Rave is a loud, fast and hard kind of house-music, but you can still hear some melody in it. Hardcore is just stumpin loud drums with some occasional melodic loops in it. It's a little hard to hear what's what sometimes... BTW Did you know that...

    What are your favorite reference CD's and WHY??

    Hi! I'd definately vote for the earlier U2 stuff, mixed/produced by Eno/Laois/Lillywhite. The sound quality isn't that great because it was all recorded analog, but I'm telling you, these 3 guys together means MAGIC... I think it's great that when you listen to music more often with a...

    Priorities? I need some advice.

    So you have the luxury of a whole basement... Okay, I always learned that having one good thing is preferably to having two reasonable things. In other words: I'd go for the big-buck-computer with some really nice software and a decent sound-card, and if you got some buck left some nice studio...

    Logic Audio Forum

    I agree, this is by far the biggest site on homerecording, but it DOES miss a E-Products forum. Logic Audio is big here in Western Europe, and if there would be a good forum about it the site would attract more European visitors. The more the merrier! Nagging about "too much traffic so the site...

    where/how to store your guitars

    Hi there to all of you! I have a very small bedroom-studio and I was wondering where to put my guitars (2 electric, 2 acoustic and 2 more decorative mandoline-like instruments). I figured that I have one on the guitar stand on the floor, and the rest of them on the wall. However, I read that...

    How many years have you played?

    11 years already... doesn't sound like it though! Isn't it frustrating that the little boy next door or your little cousin recently got a $ 1200 axe+amp for thanksgiving last year and already can play all Yngwie songs with his eyes closed and one finger in his nose? I'm glad to hear I'm not the...

    voice

    Thanks to all of you! I'll just keep practicing, maybe I get used to my voice. If not, taking a singer is my second option. (So much for fame, though...) BTW, I have a twin brother (identical), and people always say he sounds the same as I do, and I always disagreed. Now I see why! Thanks...

    Suggestions on Guitar,..

    Hi y'all! Let's not forget about one thing: personal preferences! When buying a new/used guitar, you must consider three things: * Price range (how much can you afford?) * Sound of the instrument * "The feeling" The third is incredibly important, but loads of people tend to overlook it! When...

    voice

    Hi there! I'm not sure I'm in the right topic, but here's my question: Whenever I hear my own voice (be it singing or talking, whatever) I always think it sounds rather corny. Everyone else around me disagrees with me, and tell me that's they way my voice sounds. Not corny, not funny, just my...

    Cubase VST vs. Cakewalk 2002

    I forgot: I live in the Netherlands so if you recommend any software other than Cakewalk or Cubase there is a chance that it won't be available here... Thanks already so much! Best regards, Dirk Demon

    Cubase VST vs. Cakewalk 2002

    Hi! Okay, so I saved up some money to get some decent computer-based homerecording software. I got two offers from my local music-equipment-supplier: Cubase VST (the full monty, not Cubasis) and Cakewalk 2002. Which one should I choose? Here's some background information: I play guitar...

    How Many Guitars do you own

    I got: * One classical acoustic (nylon strings), I learned to play on it. I never play it anymore, it's just collecting dust, but you'll always love your first guitar... Remember when you struggled on that A-chord, the blisters on your fingers, and the joy when someone actually recognised...
