    setup advice?

    Well you can't beat free no matter how hard you try, and yes the dual 2 Ghz should take every thing pretty nicely. As well if you can go for that 4GB of ram I definetly reccomend it as it will allow the computer to keep more information in RAM, and have to do less swapping form the disk. Its...

    setup advice?

    When it comes to content creation (meaning: 3D, 2D, Video, or Audio). Your biggest concerns are RAM, Processor, and Drive space. That goes for any of them. Recording multi-track audio requires the most out of all, 3D coming second. While the PCI interface may be doing some neat stuff. Fact of...

    Rate amp modellers for home recording

    iZotopes Trash is a pretty good one as well. A bit less intuitive than Amplitube, or Guitar Rig. But, its definitely worth checking out.

    Reference material: What do you recommend? (anything except pop and country)

    I Only read a few posts. So, I'm sorry if this is repetition, but I couldn't wait. My advice is to listen to everything you can get your hands on. Weather you find it pleasing or not. Personally if i need some form of referance when I am mixing I find a song that has what I'm trying to do, and I...

    XP/Vista?

    I was looking down this road at one point about 6 months ago. Building a new system or buying a pre-built. The only reason I entertained the thought of buying a pre-built machine was because I am lazy, and didn't want to go through the trouble of building it. I ended up going the newegg.com...

    Plugin forum?

    Personally the Plugins I use the most are Izotopes Trash, and the Ozone mastering plugin. Some of the new plugins that come with sonar7 are pretty handy two. I really have never had a usless plugin. I think the more the merry. They all have a use somewhere.

    Who is better Dave Grohl or Foo Fighter drummer Taylor Hawkins

    I will say Dave, he earns more points because he is so much more than a drummer. Hell look at Probot that is all Dave except for the vocals, as well every song sounds like it was written by the vocalists respective bands. Then there is Songs fo the Deaf, sorry if an ex-member of Kyuss asks you...

    Is "Guitar Hero" Bad for Guitarists?

    The problem with guitar Hero is that it doesn't play like a real guitar. That in of it's self drives me insaine. I think I would beable to accept the game if it was actually a little more complicated. For example if the controler had Five frets with 6 buttons in each fret. Versus the 5 frets...

    $500 to spend now. $1000 to spend down the road. I need help!

    Sound card does make a Differance. You might want to Go with something other than the Audigy. They are nice sound cards, but there are solutions out there with better bang for the buck. More RAM is never a bad thing, and Processor speed really comes into play when you start using VSTfx, VSTi's...

    Noob > Help

    Oh god yes. I think that is a mistake every one should make once, or just a metronome if you are able to play like that, and stay on time.

    again- guitar recording help

    One of the hardest things for me to learn when recording my guitar tracks was less is more. I used to get the wratchety, scratching sound too. Stepping back the distortion amount was the best thing I ever did. What it sounds like you're missing in your mix is some bottom end. You need some...

    On top of that if you use a comnputer to record. You may want to look at getting some sort of guitar post processing soft ware Like NativeInstruments Guitar Rig or iZotopes Trash. This way you have multiple options when it comes to recording your guitars. For example having two tracks of the...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    Well put. Honestly try be fore you buy is the way to go. If it weren't for pirated software I wouldn't know how to use 90% of the software I know how to use, and personally I feel there is nothing wrong with using pirated software to learn on either. Information should be free, and you can take...

    Is "Guitar Hero" Bad for Guitarists?

    I cant belive they got that in there. I figured Axle Rhodes would've thrown a fit for slander, or likness rights, or some other whiney alchoholic pansy move.

    Is "Guitar Hero" Bad for Guitarists?

    I hate guitar hero with all my F'n black heart. If I ever meet the guy that siad "YEAH! LETS MAKE THIS!" I'm gunna break his nose. On a funny note I find the game horribly in accurate. How can you be a guitar hero with no whiskey, whores, a pack of smokes, or major narcotics? And then there is...

    PropellarHead Reason 4 Drum Software

    I wouldn't judge reason off of playing around with re-birth. Re-Birth is extreamly out dated. Download the demo version of Reason and play with it. Most every thing I do is in a hardrock/heavy metal format, and I'm really picky about my sound. I hate it when things sound fake. I use reason and...
