There's a DIY pedal out there called a Brown Sound In A Bow II that does a pretty damn good emulation of a Marshall stack cranked. Search for BSIAB II, someone might sell them. If not, you can always make it yourself.

I've debating whether to buy EastWest Quantum Leap Silver or MOTU Symphonic instrument. Does anyone have experience with both so as to compare the pros and cons of each? (Processor/RAM demands, sounds quality, sound quantity, usability, etc.).

If they are indeed ALL 16 ohms EACH, and in total it's 16, the only way that's possible is if they are wired this way: 1 and 2 in series, 3 and 4 in seried, and 1/2 wired in parallel with 3/4. 1+2 = 32, 3+4 = 32: 32 in parallel with 32 is 16. So is there a switch on your amp that allows IT to...

If I recall correctly, the port has to be hooked up to the internet, no? I believe that they charge you for your tiem on it, unless I'm thinking of something else. If we're thinking of the same thing, I was strongly advised to never look at the guitar port. Ever. If I'm totally wrong, feel free...

*Seagate hard drives - Good, reliable, have a 5-year warranty. Enough said. Note: If you have a steady source of income, remember the following: RAM can be upgraded by adding a chip--nothing is lost. Processor, however, must be removed to be replaced--upgrading costs money. For this reason, I...

Well, not for that particular sampled note, played at that particular velocity with that particular decay. The problem with actual samples is that instruments react differently at different pitches/velocities. An actual sample sounds perfectly authentic--until you try to stanbrform it to fit the...

Sorry, I re-read your post, and you didn;t buy it yet. . . oops. Anyway, the Motif is sweet. It's great for strings and orchestral patches, which is what I need most. Right now I'm debating whether to go with a keyboard controller and the Motif, OR a cheap keyboard controller and a bunch of...

Weird, man, I was just looking at pretty much the same setup last night! Motif ES Rack and Midiman 61-key controller with weighted keys. TO record directly as audio data then you need to connect: Keyboard out-->Motif rack Midi (USB midi is best) and then Motif out-->computer. Mixer is...

I would strongly suggest locating the EXACT point of the buzzing. Use your ear an inch off of the strings and figure out what the buzzing is against, or at least the approximate area where it is happening. This will eliminate 80% of the possibilities, and make others' help here more useful.

I do a bit of recording at home, but am missing part of what I need to finish my recordings. I use Audition for recording, Fruity loops for sampling, but have no good (or even livable) MIDI/sequencing/synth method. I have a keyboard w/MIDI out, so I can record MIDI data. No problem. But what...

MY FIRST IMPRESSION: When the first hihat hit, I thought it was a sound from in the room; I was wearing headphones at the time. Startling. I need to know: for stereo imaging on that hihat did you just use reverb, , just panning or phase shifting? Or all of the above? I NEED TO KNOW! I like.

My $0.03 (Canadian Funds): Song sounds good. I like. The recording sounds a little too dead in a few areas---but not so dead that they cannot be revived. Guitar sounds very DI. I have the same problem with my POD. I would try using a little bit of reverb (so much that you barely notice it's...

Let me TOTALLY second that comment about MIDI access to the POD's guts. I was getting sick of my POD for its lack of tweakability, until I hooked it up to my computer and played with more stuff than the knobs allow. Plus, you can download sounds from some Line6 website--you know, ones which...

Heh, I've seen similar threads all over: POD versus ANYTHING ELSE! It's definitely a divided and heated argument every time. Anyone who says that the POD is "Awesome!" is wrong. As is anyone who says "it sucks." So, too, is the person who says it's "okay, I guess." These types of comments are...

I think I can help with question 5. When you pan in most programs, it reduces the volume of the channel that you are panning AWAY from. So if you pan something completely to one side, you lose the audio signal from the other channel completely. I've been experimenting with this and reverb...

I'm having trouble figuring out why my reverb'ed tracks don't sound right. I'm trying different techniques to spread the reverb over the stereo space, but not sure what the rules of thumb are for that, ie. what techniques sounds like what. As for stereo spacing, as I understand it, there are...

Multi FX processors are better for demos, and often for live because you can save settings. Live, you have to turn the knobs on EACH stompbox to get it the way you want, an dcan be a hassle. However, for creativity reasons, stompboxes are usually better becuase you have much more control over...

Dude, I had a DIGITECH RP2000 as well. Got stolen. Replaced it with a POD. Okay, there's a problem with many of these comparisons. I see a lot of V-Amp, not V-Amp 2. I see a lot of "I didn't like my POD"s. But we're not talking POD, POD 2.0, or V-AMP. We are talking POD XT and V-AMP 2, are we...

DOn't forget the Delta 1010 or the 1010LT. For the price of those two, you could probably snag a 1010. BUt make SURE to check for motherboard compatibility. The problem with many high end video/soundcards is that they are VERY mainboard specific because of matching chipsets, etc. But look into...

(By the way, since we're talking hard drives, I recommend getting a hardware RAID controlled capable of running RAID 5. Permanent backup, and faster access to the harddrive.)
