    Which processor is faster?

    Well thanks! I looked at their benchmarks, and the AMD is just a little faster. And it looks like both use the same ram, so I'll pry just use the one with the AMD and move the HD and ram from the other. Thanks again!

    WTT MOTU 8pre for USB interface

    I am looking for something similar to my 8pre but usb instead of firewire. I would love something from presonus since they're pretty Linux friendly, but anything with 6-8 xlr-1/4 inputs. Midi would be great, as well as individual 48v phantom, but neither is going to be a deal breaker. Looking...

    Which processor is faster?

    I have been given a new (to me) computer with a 3ghz Pentium 4 processor. I have been using a different tower with a 2.2 or 2.4 (I can't remember for sure which right not) AMD Athelon Processor. I would like to get rid of one of the towers, or at the very least not have to have both hooked up...

    Cheap mic protection

    I was in tue local Ausch-mart today looking through all the cheap stuff they put right as you walk in the door when I saw what could be a perfect mic/accessory case. It's meant for sports accessories, handguns etc. It's like 1 ft sq. and about 6in deep and filled with two layers of egg crate...

    FS: Hollowbody and AC15CC1

    I wish I had seen this a week ago, especially since i'm about 20 min. from rapid. That's a beautiful guitar and I would have loved to help out a brother in need. the amp has me super tempted, but I don't really need a new guitar amp. non related question: you don't happen to play guitar for...

    Murder at the Drive-In - Greg_L homicidal original idiocy

    I liked the song alot. My only caveat would be that I read the lyrics first and was expecting dirtier, less produced punk ala The Misfits. similar style, but you just did too good of a job recording/mixing! I will probably listen to the song a few more time today just cuz i like it that much!

    What is an acceptable processor speed? What is dual core and quad etc.

    I agree, going the used route can save you quite a bit of money, especially of you get an older generation mac. g5 mac pro's are getting cheaper by the day it seems like. I personally went PC due mostly to a lack of funding. I nabbed an old single core pc from a dumpster, loaded up the newest...

    Bass Amp Advice

    Check out some used Peavey stuff. Pretty cheap and it'll get you by until you star gassing for something new. I had a megabass that rocked faces off till the power amp died from sitting in a garage and a basement for who knows how long. I've been using a peavey max 160 (like 150-200 used) and we...

    Need to know EVERYTHING

    Read the tweakheadz stuff. there's so much info there they should charge you for it! the 21 ways to set up a studio (it's something like that?) is amazing to read through and get some pretty strong ideas of how to set up a digital studio.

    Retracking of a Blues song-Last one to know

    Really dig this song, would love to hear it live with a full band just rockin' out! I don't know if its just me since no one else has brought it up, but I hear quite a bit of white noise in both recordings, maybe think about isolating the track and adding a limiter to it. really great tune...

    I want a tube amp for my style

    check out the carvin v3, it'll do some pretty nice high gain stuff. also, just to make sure you're aware, "Class A" doesn't denote a certain quality. it's how the circuit in the amp works. you can have high quality, point-to-point class ab. it's the way in which signal is fed to the power...

    I want a tube amp for my style

    check out some used carvin stuff, good quality but poor resale value. older peavey stuff is pretty solid as well, I saw a 5150 50watt combo for 450 or something like that on a local CL ad. The even older stuff, peavey ultra/mace/butcher can be had for just a couple bills if you find a decent deal.

    Heavy stuff...Thoughts?

    No more Burden and Guess I'll be on My Way have a Neil Young Zuma vibe to me. My little brother would probably love these. The vocals are kind of all over the place as far as volume goes, but not in a "I'm adding dynamics" way. It was hard to understand the lyrics at times, it was so low...

    how does everyone pay for there studio?

    I've been lucky to be able to pick up some freebies and cheap things. I'm the kind of person who would rather figure out how to make something work on the cheap than spend more money for something that is considered the "standard." I've spent more than I should have, but once I can get some...

    Tips on how to succeed in the music industry?

    I think the same way. I know a couple of people that just hope to put out a couple of good songs and be done with it. I would rather live at the poverty line and tour than make one good song and act like I was some big hit...
