I thought it was just me.. Maybe the search button had some vacation time left?

I need to find a 16 bit sample of blowing wind like a howling wind in the winter time. If anybody could provide a link to free downloadable 16 bit FX samples it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Great River MP2NV Is what I use for just about everything including heavy Guitars. But my advise to you is try different ones out for yourself. Any quality preamp will do the job, it is subtle differences that sets them apart.

Your AW4416 alrwady has 16 Tracks, I assume you mean "16 Channels" I have installed the 8 x 1/4" inputs (MYAD8 I beleive it is called), as well as the MYAD4 (which is 4 XLR inputs). I purchased the eight quarter inch input card for mixing instruments from my Akai MPC2000 which has the 8 output...

Does anybody know how George Lynch got that acoustic sound for the songs "Into the fire" and "Alone Again" Like type of acoustic, mics etc. Thanks

Thank you, That is what I needed to know

I own a stereo pair of speck balanced EQ's from Mercenary. They work very well. Low noise and have a musical quality to them.

Is it ok to compress individual tracks before mixdown. Will it be a problem for the mastering house since they often compress the entire 2 track mix? I have found that compressing individual tracks (after they are recorded) have a better feel & sound to them. They have more of a "Commercial"...

Thanks for the tips, Since I have no desire of reconstructing Frankensteins Laboratory I have decided, once upon receiving the tubes I will be taking the head down to my local tube amp tech. And have him do the whole job. Thanks again for your help! -Mr. Torture

I ordered all new tubes from eurotubes.com. Thanks for the link! And all your help.

I pulled the tubes and looked them over. I am no electrical expert, but these tubes look cheap. The 12ax7's are PRC (peoples republic of china?) and one of them look to be from a different era than the other 2. I have one GE6650 which looks really old and a china made 6550 which has no brand...

If I could acheive a scorpions sound I would be happy. The problem i have is the power of the track I record with the 800. I double track and get 2 hollow not very dynamic guitar tracks. They sound dull and lifeless. The room is well treated with rigid fiberglass according to Ethan's designs on...

I am assuming it has the original tubes, I will open it up today. It does seem to sound a bit flat. I will get some new pre-amp tubes for it today. Do you get a bigger push through the lower wattage speakers? Maybe that is what I am looking for. I was thinking of a 2x12 with the vintage 30's...

I have an 1983 Marshall JCM800 50 watt head. I do not know how old the tubes are or if they need to be biased? Not sure what that does. Should I take this in to a tech every once and a while to have it checked out? How much maint. Is required on these heads? Also on a side note, I have a 4x12...

As a fellow 4416 user I feel your pain. First off the pre's in the Yamaha are garbage. As well as the High Z input. I bought: Great River mic pre EL-8 Distressor Speck EQ's EV RE-20 I mic the bass, The DI sound was always too flat for me. Some great advice above by fellow members.

Just what I was looking for Thanks!!

I would like to understand how to use digital reverb to it's fullest. There are so many way's to edit a reverb and I would like to know what each parameter means. Such as LF filters, HP filters, pre-delay, reverb time etc. I would also like to know what reverb you would use on a particular...

Thanks guy's, I used the 5k cut and it dropped in the backups where they should.

I have a song with quite a large backup vocal chorus. Multiple tracks that I have bounced down to 2 tracks. Is there a general rule of thumb when equing backups? Are backups normally thinned out with EQ? I never use EQ on the lead vocals, I get a good sound from mic placement and they drop into...

I know this sounds dumb but, to shut down the unit do you just hit the off switch? No saving your material first necessary ? Thanks
