I live in pennsylvania and a cable access channel did a tour of the martin factory recently. i was delighted to see that almost every employee sported a full, luxurious heavy metal hair-do. At the end of the tour, they had a grizzled gentleman play an old martin that david grisman recorded with...

I just want to re-emphasize how seriously helpful it is to apply eq while the whole mix is going -- i don't know why i hadn't before.

the cuts you specified were very effective. plus, eqing while the whole mix was playing helped a lot too. thanks

hi. I have a sound working that is kind of like a jazz organ...lots of mids and lows, but i'm wondering how to eq it so it sounds good in the mix. right now it overpowers everything. Even alone, after being recorded, ir sounds a bit too...i don't know. thanks

Okay... Let's suppose you record a vocal track and it clips periodically. Let's suppose, too, that you have the compression effect selected to run in real-time. Cool Edit records the track with the clipping, and all the harmful mutations that a vocal track might incur. But it stores, in memory...

That's ALMOST right, dobro. The waveform is not modified ever, but the compression settings are saved in memory, and are applied to the waveform as long as the FX button is cued. The original waveform is not molested by any effect ever, except during playback and mixdown. The effect exists...

(dot not feather)...hahaha.. listen, i know what you're talking about. what you should do is this: try playing an instrument that you aren't used to. a piano or accordion, perhaps. You'll stumble accross combinations of notes and chords that sound new and interesting. Then pick up your guitar...

Au contraire... what is most fortunate about cool edit 2 is the ability to process real-time effects without destroying the waveform. Dig it, my brother: 1 - open up multitrack view and click the FX button on one of the tracks. 2 - from the left box, select amplify and then dynamics...

okay, thanks for the information. the reason i didn't want to cut holes in my guitar is because it's not a very great guitar to begin with (yamaha dw-10) and i don't think it would be worth putting a couple hundred dollars into a pick-up for it, if you can dig that. A guy at a local music...

by the way.... i'm curious whether or not acoustic pick-ups are designed to be played on electric amps to begin with

fangar: you touched on the subject of external preamps. since i currently own a dean markley sound hole pick-up, would the preamp get my signal really LOUD on an elec. amp? It's hard for me to tell at the music store because i don't have drums and bass covering me up. incidentally, could the...

that sounds doable....do you know if a pre-amp might increase the level on an electric guitar amp?

hi. i play acoustic guitar and require a pick-up that is loud enough to transmit the integrity of the sound through an electric amp, since i cannot afford an acoustic amp, and play shows where fender twins are common pieces of house equipment. i'm currently using a dean markely that seems to...

I made this site for people who can't come up with a band name: http://www.velocity.net/~antique/brad/bandgenerator.html

a lot of replys. i guess i shouldn't go to school for this crap afterall. And, upon more thorough inspection, I'd rather be a rock star than an engineer. I was considering obtaining a formal education in engineering to fall back on in the event of an unforseen mishap during my rise to fame...

thanks for the information. I too am curious as to the kind of carreers your educations have helped you to obtain.

hi. are there schools that teach audio engineering? i've seen the studios that offer courses, but...i don't know about that. NYC area? thanks

hmmm, i didn't make any adjustments to the volume in the burning software. maybe that'll fix me. thanks for the tip

hi. I've assembled some rough mixes and burned them to a cd-r, taking every prescribed precaution, and when i play them back, the levels are cut to a size suitable for a lullaby. i've normalized the tracks to around 94% and i have to turn my speakers up all the way just to hear the shit at a...

thanks for the link, but when i convert these files they turn into .m3u and i can't play them at all. i'm downloading sound effects from sounddogs.com and they are in .asx format which cooledit does not recognize. any other ideas? thanks
