    50W vs. 100W

    50 vs 100 vs 150 If you're into solid state amps, skip this comment. My comments compare 50W tube amps to 100W tube amps based on my personal experiences and deals with sound more than perceived volume level. The day someone clearly, 100% explained to me and proved to me what the difference...

    church choir help

    we're going to be recording in a small room that is not conducive to reverberation. We're not in the main hall since i want to add the reverb to MY taste and not to the hall's acoustics. Also this isn't a catholic church so it tends to be smaller anyways. My console, *cough*, i should say, my...

    Do not use Cakewalk for anything professional?

    I wonder if there are a few mixing 'engineers' out there that sit behind a pro tools system all day, that are actually subconsciously threatened by the prospect that some shmo with Sonar, a cheap 12 chanel analog mixer, a low end 24/96 card and huge balls, can actually create works that are...

    mud ... it's all mud.

    alright ... it's been updated. #1 it should sound fuller ... then again i'm too poor to get decent monitors. #2 it should sound better balanced ... then again, my brain tends to shift it's focus on the left ear's input. (unbalanced head .. lol . yeah it sucks) #3 everything should sound...

    will different speaker cabs affect sound?

    they'll certainly affect your sound. If you're using a mono distortion pedal, then you won't hear much difference .. it'll just be the same sound on both speakers. If you are using a stereo fx processor and put your left chanel for example through a compressor and the right through a stereo...

    Sonar and My Soundcard

    go look for 'WDM Drivers' for your better sound card. Sonar can handle WDM. (assuming you're using windows 2000 or XP) Also, are you sure you don't have the option to pick your soundcard in the configuration menus??? Double check. If all else fails ... then do this: When your computer...

    Help!

    that's rough dude Cakewalk and Sonar scan for inputs when they launch. Even the slightest configuration change will screw up Cakewalk and it will forget what inputs you had. Best go to the respective configuration menu and select your soundcard again. Extigy ey?? hrm ... may exhibit some...
