    Look what fell in my lap...

    I 'unt one! Oh man! Toooooo Sweeeeeeet! Did you tell him that it doesn't look like anything you've ver seen before, must be some old 60's off brand that never went any where, he would be lucky to get $20 bucks for it, but you'll give him $30 just to be nice.......make a nice fix it project for...

    I don't like Pink Floyd's (David Gilmour's) "Comfortably Numb" solo.

    Neil Young's epilepsy gives him an unfair advantage.

    I don't like Pink Floyd's (David Gilmour's) "Comfortably Numb" solo.

    Isn't that kinda the point? I mean, isn't that kinda the point of writing a song called "Comfortably NUMB?" It aint any dazzling solo, but it suits the point of the song perfectly. And, poignantly, most of us are still today quite comfortably numb to what's going on around us. Choose your...

    Your Opinion On Amp Sims

    I haven't met an amp sim yet that I wanted to spend more than an hour with. Ok, unplug it, you can take it home now. Go away......

    Your Opinion On Amp Sims

    I think if this were The Gear Page, you would be spot on. I thought the same thing before I hit the "Vote Now" button. But then when I saw the results, I was immediately brought back down to earth to remember that this is the HOME recording forum. What other response could we possibly expect...

    4 Ohm/200 Watt Head to 8 Ohm/140 Watt Cab

    Both statements cannot be true. If your amp is 200 watts at 4 ohms, you will not get 200 watts "coming out of each cab" no matter how many cabs you plug in to it. The wattage out divides among the cabs. You cannot afford an amp that will put out 200 watts to each cab no matter how many cabs you...

    What VST's Do You Use?

    In general, yes.....most of the pay ones are going to be better than most fo the free ones. Yes.....there are some free ones that are as good as the pay ones. Kjaerhus comes to mind (did I speel that currecktly?)

    Is my mastering anywhere near decent?

    How do you like dem apples? I say if a new guy wants to come on a forum called "HOME" Recording and try to learn sumpin about HOME mixing and HOME mastering, so be it, humor the guy and give him a few tips that will put him farther ahead of where he is now. Sometimes pointing a new HOME...

    Not wanting to use computer recording, what else do I need to use these models?

    That just means your computer and audio hardware was not set up correctly to be dedicated to recording and nothing else. I set up my own machine specifically for studio and only studio, running fine for 3 years now (REAPER!) and I will never look back. Haven't lost any work yet. Wait til your...

    Not wanting to use computer recording, what else do I need to use these models?

    Better get used to it if you want to surf this forum. This place gets a ton of trolls, more than any other forum I've ever been in, and the regulars absolutely relish the chance to hit the "EASY NUKE 'EM" button on any troll that dare bare his arse in here. And, I'm sorry to say, your original...

    Recording sound effects for beginners

    Definitely a boy scout maneuver. A man on a mission. You obviously got your mind right, Luke.

    I am not new to music but i am to this forum

    Inspiration is free. Love is much more expensive and harder to earn. Now let me check your tonsils.

    Help with recording project

    "Omni" is the word that came to my mind, as well. In Superior Drummer, they used mics at varying distances from the drums to capture the room sound, 10 feet, 25 feet, 50 feet, 100 feet, etc. The more room mics you use the more rich and lush your recording will turn out. But make sure you...

    Brand New recording junkie!!

    That might depend a lot on what plugins you have. If you can do all that stuff in Cubase or Sonar then you can do all that stuff in Reaper. I realize PT LE came free with your interface, but there is a reason why they do that. After you become more "involved" you will - sooner or later -...

    What kind of computer do you need for recording music?

    Yeah, I'm not knowledgeable enough to piss all over anybody else's opinions when it comes to computer hardware, but I have my doubts about whether the PC-AT/XT people were really doing the ton of "audio processing" that we are asking our machines to do today. Maybe they were recording raw audio...

    Electro Harmonix Ribbon Mic

    There ya go! If you email Cy at affordableaudio.com, that Apex 205 would probably be $79 + shipping. (Yes, I have purchased from him, amps and speakers, he is a good guy!) I had a 210 but sold it when I went looking for the Cascade mic, ended up selling that too because I thought both were...

    Use of Compression to expand dynamic range

    In the old days, the musicians cared a lot more about their skills, and they performed much more professionally in front of the mics. Part of the lure of compressors today is that they help lower caliber musicians capture recordings that don't spike and clip. Not every musician needs a...

    What kind of computer do you need for recording music?

    Uh.......yeah.........but that's a wee bit of understatement. Technically, yes, for "audio recording" it is fine......IF......IF.......you are talking about recording a simple stereo input and playing it back. If you are talking about multi track recording and mixing, say 8 or 12 or 20...

    Midi Implementation

    Yup! Record just the midi on as many instruments as possible (unless you have great instruments and great mics, then keep the audio tracks as well). Then if you don't like the sound of the piano, or you think you should have used a Fender Rhoades instead of a Steinway Grand, you can change the...
