well, firstly... i'm gonna try the endorphin thingie for sure. i've downloaded it. just need to do my "real" job tonight. tomorrow night is the test. and yeah, the problem is that i love the bass sound. and it's got plenty of volume. i actually have it turned down quite a bit for the...

yeah, i guess i should've been more clear. the real problem is just the bass. it's like a one bar intro, and it's just not there at all. after compressing the whole mix and doing little touch-ups, the part from where the drums and vox come in on is okay. it's just the 5 notes at the...

hey all... so i'm mixing this new song for my band's quasi-demo. it starts with just the bass guitar, then drums and vocals, through the first verse. then it drops into a big chorus, and maintains full band throughout. the problem is... when i get done mixing, i look at the wave, and it...

thanks guys for the replies. i actually ended up just getting really antsy and ran down to the tube amp shop. picked up some new pre-amp tubes (probably should've mentioned that it's a hybrid, only has pre-amp tubes.) thing works great now. i haven't heard this amp in years. now i remember...

hey all.... can anyone tell me how to know for certain if i need to replace the tubes in my amp? i have an old Legend Rock n Roll 50 Wicker face amp that just isn't as loud as i would expect from a 50 watt 112. is it the tubes, or a deeper problem? also, is it okay to replace the tubes...

i had a feeling, due to your "total gear slut" comment under your screen name, but i thought i'd ask, just in case. maybe i'll just take the plunge and hit up ebay. they're always under a hun, and it can't hurt to try it out, though i still really want to pick up a b1. ah, the gear bug is...

thanks guys... one of the clubs my band plays at has a newer one. the other lead singer in my band uses it every time we play there. it seems to have a rather close sound to a 58 with a little more body to me. is this what i could expect from an older one, maybe? i guess i should've put...

does anyone use a shure 55sh to record often? i'm curious how it sounds... also, does anyone know what the difference between the first one and the newer one is? other than a bunch of money and 20 years... thanks, pete

thanks darryl, i'll run over there this week, and try to make this my weekend project. .pete.

DDev... do you have the part number or anything for that radioshack element? i've been wanting to do this forever, but just haven't gotten around to calling digikey to send me the capsule. if i could just drive across the street, then i'm happy. thanks, .pete.

well, now i'm posting from my new laptop. lovin it!! thanks for the advice from all. unfortunately, the nuendo is a bit out of my price range. so i guess i'm gonna have to get the layla still. has anyone had much experience with the layla on a laptop? any advice (any problems using it...

wow, the description of that things sounds killer, and the box looks real pretty-like, but there's only one picture and it's from far away. maybe i'll run over to my local dealer and take a look later today. thanks for the heads up. seems like a rare unit, but i'll find one and see what i...

i was thinking about doing that, but it's like 200 bucks for that adaptor, so i think i'm just gonna buy the laptop version. i'm not gonna be using the home pc that much anyway. so question two is: is a 2 gighz pentium with 512 megs of ram enough to make cool edit pro happy? question three...

hey all... i'm considering the purchase of a laptop today for a portable recording option. but i'm having trouble finding a good soundcard. i know i can get the echo layla24, and i'll probably do it, but i was wondering if there were any others with at least six inputs out there? any...

okay, so keeping in mind that i am definitely a beginner, and this is "home" recording... this is one of the recent songs we've been working on. it's sitting in my yahoo briefcase, along with some solo songs i've been working on lately. "ghosts" is the full band, with the other lead singer in...

... i realize this is probably insane, but my son's had some problems this month, so money's tight. i could offer only 40 bucks for the ecm's. i know it's ridiculous, but it can't hurt to try, right? .pete.

yeah, that's always been my school of thought, too. the problem is, i LOVE his records. they're seriously amazing. and i've always had problems with micing things from any distance at all. his apartment is really similar to mine, and he mics this one chick's voice with an 80 dollar shure...

yeah, i've been waiting for that ingenious response. because gregory's a little busy these days mastering the new album. thanks, though. .pete.

hey, maybe someone in here can clarify something for me... there's a guy here in san diego that i have the most respect for of anyone i've ever met in the music business. he records his own records at his apartment, and his records are the best sounding in my collection. i absolutely love his...

one quick tippy top, just in case anyone else has any input... .pete.
