    Best Motherboard for 1Ghz Athlon T-Bird?

    If I were you, I'd stick with two boards. The Asus A7V or the Abit KT7A. They are both very similar boards, with the 266Mhz FSB and UDMA100. They make the best motherboards...anyone who knows computers will tell you that.

    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    The Nintendo Entertainment System is the greatest game console ever made, hands down. I still have mine hooked up.

    Has anyone bought anything for Mercenary.com?

    I ordered the RNC from them on December 15. I got it the other day. Took quite a while but I guess it's cause of Christmas. It came with free earplugs...just what I needed!

    locking tuners

    A good way to keep the nut smooth (stop that) is to get some graphite, or a mechanical pencil and get the graphite into the grooves of the nut. Even apply a little graphite before and after the nut on the string. That should help it stay in tune. If you have a floating bridge also, a...

    VHS -> PC (Cleaning Up Audio)

    My sister video taped a gig of mine (using a crummy VHS camcorder) and I dumped the audio to my PC using Sound Forge. Now I'm looking to clean up the sound. My main concern is that high pitched noise...I don't know how to explain it exactly...but you know the noise you hear when a TV is on? I'm...

    TASCAM 488 vs. 688

    I'll second the motion of the 688, I have one and I LOVE it. Everyone who's heard my recordings that I've done on it has been VERY impressed. I was blown away myself when I heard it for the first time...it sounds simply amazing. Something I would not expect from an 8 track cassette recorder...

    Which mics on toms/snare

    At a show I just played the other night, the sound guy used ATM25Pro's on the toms and kick drum. Sounded really nice.

    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    Hmmm...well it appears that MOTU only has 8 analog in/out, where the Hoontech also does and is much cheaper. Maybe I'll stick with a Hoontech or two. And as far as Mac vs PC goes...I'm a PC guy, been using PCs for 10 years (and I'm only 18) so I know the PC pretty well, which means there's no...

    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    Thanks for all the replies. I figured computer would be the best route, just wanted to make sure. I am very "tech savvy" I guess you could say...everyone that knows me knows that I am very very good at computers and such (it may seem like a good thing, but when you have 50 people asking for help...

    computer speakers

    Stay below $150? You got it. Look at any set of Cambridge (Creative Labs distributes them now) speakers. PC Works, Sound Works...there's a few other. AMAZING speakers for a low price. Trust me, I work at CompUSA (and now I'm not a moron, I've been working on computers for at least 5...

    Windows 2000 or 98 or 95????

    In reguards to the performance of the operating systems, I'll tell you that Windows 95 and 98 are terrible. Crashes, lock ups, blue screens, terrible memory management. Windows 2000 on the other hand is solid, with amazing memory management, pretty flawless performance (I can't believe I used...

    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    I'm weighing my options right now for a studio that I might be starting with a friend. We wanna have more than one format to record with (like most studios) such as reel to reel, ADAT, and either a computer or a stand-alone hard disk recorder (such as the Tascam MX-2424, which is VERY...

    Making T-Shirts!

    Thanks for the tips, I'll look into silk screening myself. As for the shirts, I dont like the Hanes Beefy T's...they're too damn thick. I like the Hanes Heavyweights though.

    mic sales at Guitar Center

    That's right...cause of health reasons. But they usually give a 5 day trial on expensive mics like that. They did with both my NT1s.

    PC sound cards, software

    Good software would be Cool Edit Pro or Sound Forge. I use Cool Edit Pro to mix down to myself, it works very well. If you're really not into a whole lot of actual editing on the computer, a decent WAV recorder (the one that comes with Sound Blasters, for example) will do. I myself dont really...
