Not to me - that is the difference between intention and effect.

Hi, Yes, I think that you are right about the amp (source) being the problem. I did not know that modelling amps could produce digital artifacts. Thanks for mentioning how the Line 6 Spider works in terms of effects: I do not recall reading anything in my research about the Cube 30...

Hi mjbhotos, ....that's why I said, "...what I *assume* is a major 3rd.", so please go easy on the tone of your corrections there. Also, I said in my post, the guitar does not do this acoustically (i.e., when unplugged), and also does not do this on all of the amp emulations (it does this on 5...

Hi Everyone, I am really enjoying my new Epiphone G-400. However, after having played around with it since getting it 4 days ago, there is one thing about it that I have noticed that I would liketo get your opinions on, and which I am slightly worried about. When I plug the guitar into my...

Hi mjbphotos, Many thanks for your reply. I completely agree with you that I should try your suggestion, because, as you surmised, I am working in an untreated room. However, I am doubtful whether this is the whole problem because I have done some of the mixes on headphones (yes, I know that...

Hi, Over the last 20 years or so I have progressed from tracking on a cassette-based 4-track Tascam Portastudio, through using an eight track Yamaha minidisc, and occasionally recording on a friend's cheap computer, with an even cheaper sound card. About 5 years ago, I decided to make the leap...

Hi DenverDrummer, Thanks for your replies - and for re-reading and noticing that I'm using a Mac. However, I'm not using a Macbook, but a Mac Pro (for some reason people always mis-read that; I have no idea why). No, I haven't upgraded to Lion - I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (the current...

Hi DenverDrummer, Many thanks for the reply. I have been using the R 16 fairly successfully over the past few days; however, it does seem to take three or four tries to get the R 16 and the computer to establish a connection. I also have found that the only way to successfully establish this...

Thanks McMajik, Got it working - and then it doesn't work, and then it works again. Given that that has been happening with my Presonus Firestudio, too, for the last few years, I think that the problem is with the Mac, and have started the process of getting Apple Computer to replace it. (I...

Hi arcadeko, Thanks very much for this - I hadn't heard of the Alesis Multimix 16 USB, so will take a look. In the meantime, I realized that my Zoom R 16, which I use for mobile recording, is also a USB Audio Interface. I got it working a bit this evening after a hiccough or two, and tested out...

For anyone who is interested, I got the R 16 working with my Mac Pro and GarageBand 11, but only after downloading the driver, uninstalling it, and re-installing it. Also, I think that I was connecting the USB cable to the computer first, and then to the R 16 at one point, which may have...

Hi, When I bought a Zoom R16 recently, I intended to use it for 'mobile' recording; I usually use a Presonus Firestudio as my audio interface for my DAW (when it works). However, I have had problems with the Firestudio that the tech. folks at Presonus cannot figure out, and I have been thinking...

Hi Mo Facta, Many thanks for such a comprehensive reply. And I'm sorry to hear about all the problems that you had with your Firestudio (it sounds like it was a different model than mine, because mine does not have meters). I have had similar problems to the ones that you had, and other...

No, I don't! :) When I find something I like, I try to make it work (it's partly a functional thing, too, as this means that I am having to do the 'research' process for an audio interface all over again, and I hate that time that it takes to do that). I really like the sound of the...

Hi Mo Facta, Thanks very much for this. In answer to your question, I am running no other devices at all, firewire or otherwise, and the only other, non-Mac apps that I have on my Mac are Simply Burns (for burning CD's), Google Chrome, and VLC. And I didn't have ANY of those apps. for the...

Hi, I am looking for recommendations for an audio interface to replace the Presonus Firestudio 26x26 (8 mic. pres) that I have been trying to use with my Mac Pro for the past 4 years. I say "trying" because at times the Firestudio will work for a couple of weeks at a time, and at other times it...

Hi, I have recently been having some problems in GarageBand 09 which might eventually involve, as someone suggested in another thread, a call to Apple Support. However, I'm hoping that someone might be able to suggest a 'quick' fix to one specific problem, which is that I am no longer able to...

Hi Steve and bouldersoundguy, Thanks for your replies. Steve, yes, it began to dawn on me that this was probably the case, but it is very helpful that you and one other kind person have confirmed this for me. Interestingly, though, I am still left with the problem of not having enough gain to...

Hi, I'm having a problem in GarageBand 9 that I have never previously had. When I split part of a region in a Real Instrument track (Audio), delete the part of the region that I have split off, and then join the two parts of the region either side of the deleted 'gap', the part that I have...

Hi again bouldersoundguy, Thanks for asking - it's a good question - but I do have quite a bit of experience with GB, so I know what you're getting at. And I have got by up to now by doing what you suggested (cranking the overall headphone level/volume and turning various tracks down)...
