I can't believe you read this many posts My 2 cents: I buy D'Addario phosphor bronze lights in the three-pack for about $15. I change my strings about every ten days to two weeks, so that's four to six weeks' worth of strings. A single set of Elixers costs about the same. So if you change...

Re: Alleykat, etc Postal: I had an Alleykat, and quite liked it. The mini-New Yorker humbucker in the neck position had a great tone, especially for jazzy stuff. The bridge pickup sounded sort of generic; not a bad sound by any means, but not especially noteworthy, either. Personally, I'm a...

Loading = almost instant "Loading song" should take a few SECONDS. No other function is possible while that's happening, but if it's taking all night to load a song, something's definitely up with the HD. Don't hesitate to contact the seller and e-bay. This is the sort of thing that makes...

A couple of thoughts Just for grins, burn what you've recorded onto a cd, and play it both through speakers and through your headphones. This isn't a solution, per se, but it might be good to know if what you hear on playback is the same as what ends up on the disc. On a side note, on my...

Throw away your allen wrench and take it in! Two things: First of all, monkeying with a truss rod is kind of touchy. You want a certain amount of "bow" in the neck, but not too much, and it's a fragile balance that most guitar techs measure with a set of feeler guages, sweating over...

Please look up the word "newbie." Hey, I've got an idea, radiorickm! Why don't you go to a bulletin board clearly intended for "newbies," and post some sarcastic insulting responses to questions you deem to be beneath your infallible wisdom? Just think: you can massage your own ego while...

A couple of ideas First, to the person who asked about pop filters, I only use one when doing vocals to minimize moisture and mouth "pop" when enunciating harsh, breathy consonants like B and P. I've never used one on guitar, but I suppose you could. Second, I've experimented with several mic...

Evaluate your priorities I'm in total agreement with the poster who advocated the Highway 1 compromise. These are extremely similar to the American series, but the finish is much thinner, and the price is a reasonable $600. Some people like the thin finish better, saying it allows the body to...

ssscientist: Thank you for your articulate response!

Be safe, but be realistic It's true that the "poor man's copyright" trick of mailing it to yourself is fraught with uncertainty at best. However, given that the odds of someone liking your material enough to steal it are pretty low, it's difficult to justify forking over 30 clams to the US...

I have an ART Tube MP OPL that I plan to use to record vocals and acoustic guitar with a large-diaphragm consenser mic, as well as to warm up a direct electric guitar. I'm using a Korg D-12 stand-alone digital recording deck that has both XLR and 1/4" inputs. My question is, which output do I...
