    Buzzing power supply....

    If the unit is 30+ years old, I can pretty much guarantee that all the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply will be shot. Replace these before replacing regulators. The old capacitors no longer filter properly, the DC going into the regulators isn't nice and smooth anymore, and the...

    screaming with a condensor mic

    I think you mean "accentuate", not "attenuate", the low end. ie: get right up on top of the microphone & it gets more bassy.

    Delay pedal help, please.

    Considering the age of the unit, my first move would be to replace every electrolytic capacitor. As an aside, I have a very good method for testing electrolytic capacitors. It's called the Sink Test. Remove all the capacitors, get a boat, go to the centre of Sydney Harbour (or any other...

    Windows VS Linux

    Vinny, VST's generally don't work on Linux, although....... I did see mention of something very recently (can't remember where) of some sort of interface/abstraction layer. If I find it again I'll post it.

    Windows VS Linux

    Hey Vinny, I use Ubuntu. But I record vocals & guitar on a standalone digital recorder. I use mma (musical midi accompaniment) to make backing tracks, timidity to render midi's to wav, and audacity to mix down with. Rosegarden is a fine midi editor. Hydrogen (drum program) I had problems...

    tascam dp-01 usb cable

    I've just bought one of these as well. Yes, that looks like the right lead. What's this about software? Just plug it in, it should come up as a removable drive (like a usb thumb drive). There's an option in the menu(dp-01) to open the usb. Amanda

    How should I go about this?

    Since it's been a day & nobody else more qualified than myself has commented, I'll comment. A lot of the drums sound like a wooden block. Especially at the start. Vocals sound like it was tracked at 3am & you were afraid of disturbing the neighbours. Song itself seems pretty good. Good use of...

    SO new at this IN NEED OF HELP....

    You really need to learn to work with separate takes. Then you only need 2 inputs.

    SO new at this IN NEED OF HELP....

    I would argue that you need 3 mic's. One for vocals. 2 for acoustic guitar. WhiteStrat wrote a really good thread on recording acoustic guitar. https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=290919 I recently acquired a pair of cheap condensors for recording my acoustic, and I gotta say it...

    29 Music-making Apps for Linux

    If you only count 29, me thinks you're not looking hard enough. What I do need is an app for more talent, and some inspiration. A nice man once told me there was iPhone app for that.

    How do i remove the crackling noise when i connect my SM58 with the computer??

    I've got a UCA-202, use it as a sound card to drive a pair of Behringer MS40 monitors. Also use the 202 as a line in from the stereo, to record vinyl and radio. With Audacity. It all works just fine. Behringer may not be exotic, or top-shelf, but the 202 is still a quantum leap up from the...

    Need Homestudio quality tips / help

    It is my understanding that the HD16 has a usb interface. It should connect to any computer, not just a mac. Amanda

    Help, this mix is killing me

    Wow ! Very impressive tour-de-force. Routed the computer output into the stereo. (I have a switch-box and leads set up permanently to do this). Old NAD amp that I've had forever, and some custom built 3 way speakers that I stole off some guy on eBay for $50. Hit the loudness switch to bring the...

    Electret's to mic acoustic guitar?

    Been struggling getting a decent recorded sound from my cheapo acoustic/electric. Direct recording from the built-in (piezo?) pickup sounds terrible. A single Samson CO-5 condenser sounds better. I can get a pair of battery powered electrets quite cheap. Will add internal electronics to make...
