    Most Influencial Guitarist?

    :) I'm not sure about picking up where jimi left off (what makes you say that btw?) but next to clapton he's the most influential to me. And considering the list on the poll, I'd heavily argue angus deserves to be placed there. From the albums alone you might think less of him, but after...

    Nuendo to Cubase

    pretty sure there shouldn't be a problem with the session files, but like said above, export to wave too just in case.

    Thinking about switching to Cubase

    you cant buy LE btw. it's only bundled with hardware. Unless the vocal tracks you use have some kinda crazy number of plugins added to them etc, SE/SL should suit your needs just fine.

    Which Cubase to buy

    extendedping, when did you speak to them last? From what I've gathered off of this site, it started with a high # of tracks (probably 8) dropped to either 2 or 4, then got bumped back up (either 4 or 8). All I'm saying is, since you last spoke to them it might have changed. Assuming the LE w/...

    how do you consolidate tracks in cubase?

    This is what I did, and it worked just fine. First, make a copy the whole project folder. Open the copied project. Then, make sure that your tracks all start at time 0. You may have to edit tracks with silence if you did a punch in, and then bounce them to track. Once you've done this to...

    Got one to lay on ya!!! Opinions wanted!!

    go with the sharks. sounds like drumming is your true draw, and you already have a great guitar. plus you could always find a les paul used, but try and find a used shark trip :P basically, since you have a guitar, you can always experience playing the guitar. without a shark, you can't...

    Guitar Amp Head

    For those 100watt amps to really sing they need to be cranked. The idea behind having a 30watt amp (espcially for a practice amp) is so you can crank it up and hit the amps sweet spot without deafening everyone within 100 yards. I really think you'd be better off with lower wattage, if you...

    Some great info from a different site

    As a poster here suggested, I began reading up on gain stages, harmonic distortion, etc. to understand what's actually going on in that amp of mine. After reading some very useful articles, I found this post at a different forum and thought it was a great read. Check it out, it covers SO much...

    Sight-reading

    just curious, do studio guitarists use clefs or tab?

    Why does everybody hate direct boxes here?

    "If you have a good amp, you don't need the distortion box." I'm not an advocate of amp sims etc, but I'd argue that a good amp doesn't mean a distortion pedal is unnecessary. A distortion pedal is just like any other part of your signal chain, if adding it in front of your $5,000 stack sounds...

    Laptop interface??

    I don't have experience with either 1616 or 1616m, but the m apparently has pre's that are complete pro quality. Take that with a grain of salt as it comes from a musicians friend review (the actual site, with an interest in selling expensive gear). I'd guess the 1616 pre's are perfectly...

    has anyone tried to paint

    How much does new tolex generally cost for a pro to do it? While I'm at it, how about a laquer job on tweed?

    Recording with POD

    I've a pod 2.0 I liked it for a while, but have little use for it now. Its ok at high drive levels, but for a crunchy rock breakup... i doubt you can get that from any amp sim. The clean tones leave a lot to be desired as well. I'd say its a great tool for a beginner or someone on a major...

    cubase le to protools - importing wavs

    cool, so I shouldn't have any problems with this going from windows to a mac? I remember back in high school my floppys from home wouldn't work at school since they had macs. Something like data files burned to a cd is no problem though?

    cubase le to protools - importing wavs

    So, I recorded a project on my own equipment using cubase le. I've done my basic audio edits, and have bounced those tracks to create wav files I want to import into a protools session at my school. I'm on a really really tight schedule for doing the mix, and want to make sure I'm not going to...

    The RODE NT-1A

    I've used a rodes nt1a, and own a v67g. I liked the rodes more on the male vox we used them for personally. Also mic'd an acoustic guitar with the rodes. It was very very clear, but a bit heavy on the highs, and low on the bass. Partly the guitars fault, but not to the degree it came through...

    Best soundcard for *listening* to music?

    Its been some time since i looked into this, but there's pci cards which are tube driven. Might want to check out a forum like www.hydrogenaudio.org. they're a group who really knows their stuff.

    Worth upgrade from MR8 to Firebox?

    I've never used an MR8, but my firebox gives crystal clear recordings. If you only need two pre's its a great product. Although I've never used it, the breakout box by creative apparently has pro sounding pre's in it (1212m or something if my memory serves) For the price that product is...

    Head/cab vs combo... whats the benefit?

    hmm, hadn't thought about how the enclosure affects the sounds. guess I'll just have to try out the combo and compare to the stacks.
