    DR-05 recorded audio levels too low (HELP)

    I have a DR-05 and I'm unaware of any way for it to power a mic ..... it simply has a 1/8" stereo input and that's it unless there'sd a newer model. It's only a 100 dollar unit so it's limited. I've found it to be a decent unit for the price.

    More Me Headphones

    senility? Yeah he was an important figure in audio .... FAR more important than any of us will ever be and that's pretty damned cool. And there was a time when he did, in fact, help a buncha people here. But the last few years he was here he didn't answer questions as much as just reminiscence...

    My kid wants a new guitar....

    the absolute most important thing is to get him a guitar that he's excited about and you should put your own guitar desires and knolwedge aside. if it's a guitar he gets excited about picking up it's FAR more likely that he'll pick it up .... and play ...... and keep playing. Now, if finances...

    Amp problems

    it's not a modeler. This'll sound like a silly question but you have to eliminate every possibility. Is there any chance you plugged into the 'power amp input' on the right side of the panel?

    GFS pickups

    I knew you'd like them! I'm a big GF fanboi ..... for the money I think they're outstanding ..... I've never claimed they're as good as what you'd get paying 4 times as much but I do think they get maybe 90% there.

    An Angel Said - alterntaive rock pop

    I did NOT say that at all ...... I didn't even almost say that ........ I didn't come close to saying that. i said the 'feel' issue was subtle .... that it was a slight thing but I could hear it. And I said it was minor ...... If anyone cares at all they can look at my comments and NOWHERE did...

    An Angel Said - alterntaive rock pop

    The idea of 'feel' simply can not be explained other than saying it 'feels' awkward. And you shouldn't be so thin skinned ..... I didn't "call your drums out" nor was I insulting in any way whatsoever ...... I simply mentioned the lack of 'feel' of the drum lines and specifically said it wasn't...

    An Angel Said - alterntaive rock pop

    I was quite clear ..... the drumbs are awkward sounding ...... if it were a drummer trying out for my band I'd figure he didn't totally have the 'feel' thing down. The fact that you don't know what I mean by that is why it's like that. I'm assuming you're not primarily a drummer .... From...

    An Angel Said - alterntaive rock pop

    I don't really hear any pitch issues with the vox at all actually. I do find the drumbs have an 'awkward' feel to them ..... it's subtle but there ...... but it's a nice song mang.

    How To Check : Listening Room Frequency Response is Balanced ?

    lol ..... first, stuffing ports is not that weird an idea and some VERY expensive speakers come with plugs for their ports for that very purpose. Secondly, yes it's true that you can do nothing to fix room problems by doing various things to your speakers or moving them around but you can still...

    Cheapest pair of not-entirely-worthless speakers/"monitors"

    from parts Express ..... Dayton had a couple of pairs that run less than 60 bucks ..... pretty decent sounding speakers. i got the cheapest at 30 bucks a pair .... Dayton B652's. They're surprisingly good ..... I bought them for a desktop system ...... Stereophile had reviewed them favorably...

    quality backing tracks (blues preferred)

    I use MIDI tracks for live playing ..... there's tons of them out there but you're simply gonna have to listen and pick the good ones. here's one with fairly decent MIDIs but ALL sites have some crap and some good stuff .... you'll just have to sit for a few days (weeks?) and go thru one at a...

    Recording METAL GUITAR, help...

    I'm a EV guy .... I have several of the Co7s and also the Co9 .... both are better than 57s to my ears and CHEAP!! I also have about a dozen of the 767s and the ND70s and such. A while back the 767s were going for 50 bucks so I bought a dozen.

    Recording METAL GUITAR, help...

    I'm gonna have to say that unless the amp was badly biased in the first place, I can't agree that biasing makes a 'massive' difference ..... same with the different brands of tubes. I'm NOT saying there's NO difference but I don't find it to be massive and is always just a matter of adjusting...

    Recording METAL GUITAR, help...

    personally I kinda hate the idea of "this is the right way to do it" ..... to me that's why music has gotten so homogeneous ..... everybody follow the 'rules' and everything sounds the same. Kinda like amp modeling ..... a very large number of players use whatever presets they like .... tweak...

    Recording METAL GUITAR, help...

    no .... no it doesn't ...... the only thing that matters is the end result .... the only exception to that is IF you or someone else wants to replicate it. Otherwise the final result is all that matters. And as much as I found ashcats mistaken denigration of Greg's skills ridiculous the fact...

    Recording METAL GUITAR, help...

    lol ...... greg records and plays better than 99% of the home recordists out there .... is he ultra conservative ? >>> don't think so but I can't really speak to that other than to say that's not my personal impression. But I've got as much and more gigging and playing experience than anyone...

    Resolution of sound decreases by pulling down faders .....is there any such concept ?

    first off narrow-minded means exactly nothing in this context .... like most of your posts. I'm not gonna play your game .... you insult people with no reason and then act mystified when they respond in kind. you're the one that originally said such things didn't exist even though you...
