I suppose you could try highpassing it, but there may be a better way. Is it a real synth, or a plugin, or a sampler, or what?

Thanks for the suggestion, Tim. I don't often do electric guitars, so I need all the help I can get. I suppose if I really wanted a good tone, I'd mike an amp instead of going direct. Thanks for listening! Don

The voice reminds me of Marty Balin. Unfortunately, I can't stand Marty Balin's voice. But that's not your fault. The production sounds pretty good, and the playing is fine, and Marty Balin certainly had more hit records than I'll ever have. Is it my imagination, or is the bass completely out...

Most likely, yes. In general, computer speakers work OK whether driven from a line-level output or from a headphone output. They might be slightly less noisy if you use the MONITOR/THRU jacks, but probably not enough for you to notice. You also get the convenience of the mute button. I saw this...

So, it's not hardwired. In other words, the green cable has a 1/8" stereo plug on each end, right? If you want to use the MONITOR/THRU jacks on the headphone amp, you'll need a cable with two 1/4" phone plugs on one end, and a 1/8" stereo plug on the other end. Here's one...

The green cable in your picture -- is it hardwired into the subwoofer, or does it have a plug that connects to a jack on the subwoofer? If it has a plug, it will be easier to find a cable to connect to it.

No, the headphone out should work fine. Just that you might not want to dedicate one of your headphone outputs to driving the speakers, and might instead consider letting the Audiophile drive the speakers using the "monitor/thru" output of the headphone amp. Yes, and that cable might be...

For this, you'll need a cable with RCA plugs on one end, and 1/4" TS plugs on the other end. (This would do the trick: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--HOSCPR20. Be sure to get one that's long enough.) Connect the L and R outputs on the Audiophile to the LEFT and RIGHT inputs on the...

Before you go rewiring the basement, there are a couple of easy/cheap things you can do. Try using a different cable, if possible a shorter one, to connect the external hard drive. Sounds like some of its signal is leaking out and getting into your audio lines. If the external drive is SCSI...

The next step would be to get the Audiophile's outputs connected to the headphone amp's inputs. Then get the headphone amp's monitor/thru outputs connected to the speaker inputs. Then we'll have to figure out what software you're using to record, and that will determine the following steps. I...

Thanks, Eck. AFAIK the copyright on the song expired a couple hundred years ago. There's tons of compression on the guitars already, but I'll consider setting the attack time lower, or maybe adding a limiter. I'll also consider your suggestion regarding the fa-la-la's. The distortion on the...

Thanks, rayc. If I can find a guitar player who can do it justice, I'll add a solo. Otherwise, maybe I'll put some keys on it. Who knows. I got rid of the glitch, by the way, so give it another listen if you get a chance. Don

Thanks, sikter! O Holy Night was done on a Roland digital piano. Don

Hah! I think you invented a new word. I also think you missed a mistake or three. But thank you very much for listening. Don

I'd bet my lunch money that the name of the microphone starts with an "N" and ends with a "7". Don

What TASCAM? Analog or digital? If it's analog (or even if it's digital, but the transfer was done via the analog inputs and outputs), there's your answer. There's no guarantee that the conversion from digital to analog and back again will maintain sync. And there's no guarantee that an analog...

What you're doing wrong: 1. Not much. :) Suggestions: 1. Fix the flubbed words in the second line ("... and my heart burdened be"). 2. Maybe a bit of compression on the voice. The low notes are getting buried, and need to be brought out. Alternatively, the vocalist can learn to lean into...

My take on the traditional tune. I think it needs a screaming guitar solo, but I'm no guitar player (as will be evident if you listen): http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2839&alid=1627 Cheers, Don P.S.: I know there's a glitch around 33 seconds into the track. I'm investigating.

Sorry, I guess I'm an idiot. Thanks for the correction.
