Ed, I think I speak for all of us when I say, your studio is swweeeeeeeet. Eric Cartman -- respect my authoriTAH!

My Fender Princeton actually asked for a cigarette after I hooked up the Zoom GFX. Now it just kicks back and works as a PA - no muss, no fuss. The best part is, the tone doesn't change as the volume level is turned up or down. ALSO, according to Fender, the tone of solid state amps is also...

Hawlk, I have not done this myself, but an engineer I went to school with supported himself (and his studio) by affiliating himself with several churches, and doing sundry audio work for them. He was very busy before holiday's micing sanctuarys for choir performances and sermons. He also did...

Hummm... Interesting. So if you mic a guitar to an analog recorder, you're going from analog to electrical signal, back to analog (playback)with inherent signal degradation. But if you're going to a CD (or computer), you're going from analog to digital, and back to analog at the playback with...

This might be academic for alot of folks out there, but I need to know before I spend any more money on gear: What exactly is the difference between analog and digital? I thought I knew - 0's and 1' entered into "pits" in the CD blah blah. But I just finished a very good article that elaborated...

Thanks for all the info guys. I didn't know that Type II was the industry designation for "chrome." However, I've been to guitar center, Mars, and a couple of pro audio places, and nobody - I mean NOBODY - has the Tascam punch-in pedal. I e-mailed Tascam's site and they sent me a list of local...

What a great thread! I'm so inspired, that I'm going to let everyone in on what myself and other employers out there already know: First rule: For employers, the wolf is always at the door. If you ain't getting it done, then as James Hetfield says, nothing else matters. I humble myself and go...

Does anyone have a good on-line source for cleaning fluids, demagnetizers and possibly the punch-in footswitch for the MKII? How about high quality CrO2 type II 60 minute cassettes?

Bravo! Bellisimo Sonusman! Very well spoken (or written, should I say) I am also somewhat of a self-made man, and greatly admire those that go and do, with or without formal education. Heck, look at Michael Dell (quit Univ. of Texas to develop Dell Computers). The only problem about being a...

After looking at that picture, I thought the same thing (about Begonia's tight collar) I checked her and it's actually kind of loose. She's only four months old, and still skinny under all that fur. Although she's a serious carnivore - loves tuna, ham, hamburger meat, etc. Its time for me to...

That reminds me of a sales guy walking the floor at Guitar center a few years ago - he was interjecting himself into everyone's conversation, making slack-jawed comments about people's choices in gear. (I hate guys who put people down because they can't drop 5k on a '59 reissue LP) Anyway, when...

Dobro, for that very reason I've really taken to buying gear off the web. It mystifies me why some of these knuckleheads working at the music stores feel they have to insult you. It's like, "OK, you're a better guitarist than me - can I buy these strings now?"

I also have an MK2, and have discovered it's almost like a combination lock: in order to get the best sound you really have to experiment with the eq, trim, line-in and effect levels. I suggest that you make test recordings changing every level slightly, in relation to the signal display of each...

Ah yes - I see you too have had nogoodnik friends visiting the studio only to manhandle your refrigerator for beverage. I used to have a drummer who would show up late, refuse to practice before working up a buzz, and then get too blazed to play. He was unceremoniously replaced by the GFX707.

Yea, what a mix -- Furman, Rockman, 2 ultra harmonizers and a speaker simulator (?) Wow. I always read that EVH prefered to make his own effects on the guitar, and didn't use so much outboard gear. So much for that, although no one can question his tone. You know a VH track from the first note...

I hear ya Reco - I actually did it right when I bought that Fender: walk around Mars with an LP and played through ever stereo chorus amp. The Marshall valvestate chorus was a disappointment, the Roland Jazz Master was a very close second, but the Princeton Chorus had a kind of tinny pan that I...

http://www.sgi.net/vanhalen/studio.htm Yes, it's a link - but interesting, to say the least. See anything you might have?

http://www.samsontech.com/zoom/multiconsoles.html That link will get you to the Zoom page that brags about the GFX. If you need a solid progammable effects system w/ on-board drumming, this does it well. Easy to learn too, although it almost gives you too much control over the different...

Holy toledo Batman - where do I begin! Lemme see - the kitty's name is Begonia (because she likes the flowers on the table) and she's the chief engineer and talent coordinator (she leaves the room if its bad or boring); she's collared because we lost a kitty and don't want to go through that...

My only question is: what do you do with the 20/20's, cat litter buckets and deskjet printer when going for a beer in the igloo?
