It's important though!! Playing with a drum machine is better though. When I do recording and I play to a click track I usually notice that when I put the drums to it I'm slightly off. When I paly to a drum track - because of the fact that theres more going on - I play WAAAAAAAAAY more...

That's an interesting idea. What I would do in your situation, is buy an acoustic guitar amplifier, which is more similar to a PA than an electric guitar amplifier. That way, you could mic (or use a pickup :rolleyes: ) for your acoustic, and then run everything else into the amp. ~darknail

An excellent technique and musical theory website thats devoted to SHRED guitar playing is www.ibreathemusic.com Another one that is okay, but has a lot of monthly columns is www.insaneguitar.com iBreatheMusic has a fourm thats dedicated to guitar technique, songwriting, gear and everything...

Also my friend warmoth is for FENDER replacement parts and not gibson or really anything else for that matter. Certain knockoff guitars like the ibanez roadstar (i think) which is basically a strat but made by ibanez can utilize warmoth products. Gibsons however....... no ~darknail

Most preamps give some amount of tonal control like EQ settings and what not. All guitars and basses have preamps in them too. The volume and tone controls on a guitar is a preamp. When your recording bass... depending on what kind of bass you have, you might not even need a preamp. This is...

Well, some good overrall EQing tips is to be as gentle as possible with them. I run my EQ just about flat. Bass 5 Mid 5 (DON'T scoop it!!!!!) Treble 6 Presence 4 Gain 5 This is on a recto. With an ubershall 4x12. But I also play in a prog rock band. So my EQing tastes will be different than...

Well I have a question for you first. Did you wire the pup yourself, or have a tech do it? If you wired it yourself it might be 1 or more of several things. 1 being that you wired the pickup out of phase which means that you need to swap the ground and hot wires. 2 is that you have a poor...

I don't know anything about violins but what I do know about them in terms of guitar playing is that you can use an e-bow to create a very similar effect. Its basically a little magnetic unit that you hold on the strings over the pickup to produce awesome sustaining notes, and even more awesome...

If you're looking for that marshall sound in a small watt combo, your not going to find it; the marshall sound is BIG and LOUD my man. Their smaller AVT amps are actually pretty cool though. If your using this future amp for recording good luck. The fact that you'll be able to get massive...

Well, it MAAAAAAAY be a processing/ram problem. When I did tracking on Cakewalk Homestudio I never had a problem with it. On Cubase I do though. (It shouldn't be a problem though considering Cubase is 700 more bones than Homestudio is!!!) I'm running an amd athlon 1.6ghz (2000+) processor...

$270 for the superior??? I paid $99 for my version!!! Apparently toontrack produces DFH now. DFH 2 is the one I have and was produced by East West and used a special version of Native Instruments Kontact as the sampler. I think. So I am registered with them. I have Cubase 2.5.035? The...

Is toontracks secret code for the MP3 fourm? or am I just missing that one too? ~darknail

Hey, I'm just getting into playing keys and am quickly falling in love with it. Right now I'm interested in setting up a keyboard rig so that I can play without the aid of my computer. I'm look for a synth module and a good weighted key keyboard controller. I'm also looking to spend around...

when u first record yourself doing anything, you to yourself will sound bad. But the good thing is that the tape won't lie. When your playing by yourself you might wave a mistake or 2 but on tape it isn't that easy to do that. When i first started recording myself play guitar I realized how...

Hey I read a few of the responses to the dongle crack about Cubase. But I have one question..... WHAT THE HELL IS A DONGLE?!?!?!?! ~darknail

That's kind of strange.. Well first thing you should consider is to buy a soundcard thats meant for recording. The problem could lie in your soundcard. The Audigy is a home entertainment soundcard, not a recording one. Most cards, that are meant for recording also have something called a DSP...

Actually I misworded something. When I say clip out, I actually meant cut out. Like the drum track just stops. And what do u mean "superior" version of DFH? It's the 2nd edition if that's what you mean. Everything works fine, just the god damn drum tracks cuts out. ~darknailblue

Hey guys! I've got me this little problem here that's causing me to go insane. I'm using Cubase SX2 to do tracking, and usually use 3 VSTis when writing a song. I have this one VSTi called the drum kit from hell by native instruments. Well the way it works is that it simulates mics on a drum...

The soundblaster live is for gaming and multimedia. You're missing the most important thing needed for computer recording. Not that the Live isn't a good soundcard. It's excellent for gaming (play games like unreal tournmanet in surround sound... IT'S AWESOME!!!!), but not suitable for...

Hey what's faster? A firewire interface or a pci one?
