    Modern Computer Based Recording Studio With Cubase

    Hello everyone, it's been a while! I had to sell up my recording equipment to head down south for a new job and I want to start again. I want to start creating a new recording studio - cubase based - it's all I've enjoyed using. I would like some help from everyone because I don't want to...

    How did they make this sound?! It's driving me crazy!

    That's a jaw harp mate but processed with slow sweeping phasor, delay and distortion.

    Name this crappy song and modern DI for bass

    Excellent, I'll try guitar rig first before making a decision on the DI front. I'm surprised no one knows that instrumental piece!

    Name this crappy song and modern DI for bass

    ------------------------------------- I'm just really interested to know if I can get some acceptable dirt and colour from a plugin nowadays like I got from the Sansamp or if the plugins still sound kinda crappy and synthetic. I've used older versions of cubase (SX) and the plugins I found at...

    Name this crappy song and modern DI for bass

    Hiya, I wonder if you could help me with a couple of things. I used to have a Sansamp bass driver but sold it when I had to regain cash, and I'm trying to get gear together for an amateur studio again. I'm wondering if plugins have gotten to the stage of not requiring anything other than a good...

    Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless or ESP LTD B204 SM Fretless?

    Thanks for that notcardio, sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience of it. Did you at least enjoy playing the bass or was there something that put you off it as well as the sound?

    Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless or ESP LTD B204 SM Fretless?

    Hey rayc, never been a big fan of Japan, had a listen anyway and understand what you mean. Listened to Tin Drum, some unusual soundscapes. I found a site which gives a review on each of the guitars i mentioned. And has the ESP for the player who is willing to pay a little more, but this must...

    Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless or ESP LTD B204 SM Fretless?

    Hey everyone, I've checked around and there is no shop locally that have both these guitars for me to try. I've been wanting to get a fretless bass for a long long time and now I'm wanting to take the plunge. I've done some research and these are the two guitars I've found that are in my price...

    Testing a power amplifier

    Yeah, i suppose lol. It was given to me by someone who said it was... broken (not the word he used), and he left it to me to fix. I want to power it up to see what the problem is first before I open it up as I wasn't given any other information. I've not much experience with this type of...

    Testing a power amplifier

    That's great, looking at the unit in it's present condition i wouldn't have thought HH would have retained that information. I have limited equipment, I don't have a mic preamp at work. There is a mixing desk, but I cannot find the power supply for it - it's a dual 18V XLR supply I'm needing to...

    Testing a power amplifier

    I have a knackered HH V800 power amplifier to try and repair. However, I've never dealt with power amplifiers before, and don't know much about it. I've looked at the unit, and I see no ohm rating of speakers that have to be connected, will i be ok just connecting one or two 4 or 6 Ohm...

    VS880 - no hard drive

    thanks for that wish, but i've been through those topics myself. My problem is that onboard i have a 50pin ide connector and a 50pin scsi connector. This is the IDE & SCSI connectors on the main board: As you can see, these are both much larger than normal hard drive ide connectors and have...

    VS880 - no hard drive

    I bought a couple of virtual studios recently. Both were inexpensive, but one of them was sold for spares but I'd like to see if I can get it up and running. I opened up the unit to find no hard drive, and a strange enclosure with a connector i've never seen before - so i really don't know what...

    Tascam Porta Two Problem

    Thanks for the reply Reel, I was hoping you'd get involved! :) I did re-solder the head contacts on its little board in the hope that the problem might have been a solder joint that had dried up and had a hairline fracture was present. Sadly there was no change after doing this. I had read...

    Tascam Porta Two Problem

    It definitely is the erase head that's not working, and found out it should not be open circuit. Also the channel the head is supposed to be erasing matches the channel on the erase head which is open circuit. Is there any way of repairing the erase head, or do I somehow have to source another...

    Tascam Porta Two Problem

    I might have found the problem, but admittedly know nothing about tape heads. The erase head seems to have two contacts for each erasing part. Three of the four erasing parts two contacts short, however one of them is open circuit. I've tested the contacts on the erase head circuit board as I...

    Tascam Porta Two Problem

    I dug out my Porta Two from the loft and sadly found it wasn't in perfect working order. First I had a problem with the heads staying engaged which I managed to rectify by removing the tape assembly and turning one of the wheels. Now I don't have any problem with this. One problem that is quite...

    Wharfedale EVP-15P - Innards Broken, Can I Build Own?

    Hey, at work I was handed a Wharfedale EVP-15P, I reluctantly accepted it to have a look at. Now, it refused to turn on, and so I took the thing apart and started examining the unit. Someone has already been in at the unit, and going by what was done, it seems the person didn't have much of a...
