I am a guitar player teaching myself how to play slap bass, but I am constantly getting a large blister on my "pop" finger. I have to stop practicing for days at a time, and after one hour of playing again, theres the blister. I realize I am going to get blisters, but thought I would have a...

I have a sony mdm minidisk recorder and a zoom 234 drum machine, and I know that they both are midi capable, but I know nothing about midi or where to get started. Instead of recording my drum tracks to two stereo tracks, I would like to get them to go in sync with the recorder at mix down and...

I am thinking of buying a vs 840, but have some questions. 1)Can you copy a song, and then edit tracks between two or three songs? I like to use this so I can stereo bounce tracks, but keep the originals in another song in case I dont like what I have bounced. 2)Is recording to the zip disks the...

I have been thinking about buying the lower line monster cables to make my connections with, but I only have low budget equipment(4 trak minidisk, nanoverb, rode nt1,alesis midiverb,mp tube pre.) Do you think The low end Monster cables would make a difference for me? I dont know how to solder...

We need to record a 6 peice, hihat, ride and four cymbals, two timbales, and wood blocks. The music style is a groove oreinted rock. Budget is under 2k$ for the pair.

here is my question, right now I only have a four trak minidisk, hence, I will be doing alot of song copying(to save individual tracks)and then bouncing. This way if I get a bounced mix and am not happy with something, I just go back. But, does the EQ(built in 3-band Eq) I apply to a track, and...

shailat, your time and advice are greatly appreciated! I think that this will get us headed in the right direction.

What are the best mics under 1000$ to record overhead drums?

Thanks for the tips shailat. One more qustion, can I run compression through my aux sends and returns? Some one told me that compression through the returns was defeating the purpose, which caused me some confusion on how I could compress more than one source without buying alot of compressors...

My drummer is ready to drop some good cash on stuff to record drums, but we are at a loss of what we need besides the microphones. We also are unsure of exactly what path every thing has to take. We have a minidisk four trak and a mixing board. Basically, I know that we mic the drums and go to...

Are active pickups on a bass important for recording direct, or are they more a feature for live playing. I want to purchase a bass strictly for direct recording, but dont know if it is worth the extra 130$ for active pickups.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the advice. I may go for the Ibanez with active pickups(around 335$) and see what I can get with the Tube pre and NANO.

I am buying a fairly cheap(250$)bass guitar to do some direct recording with. What else do I need to get a good sound. I was thinking the sansamp bass box or a direct box. I currently own an art tube mp, and a nanocompressor. Could I use these to get a good sound/recording?

I am getting ready to buy a bass for direct studio recording. My budget is only 275$. Any ideas on a good bass for rock/funk music in my price range?
