I have the same guitar. :o And you're right, it isn't made out of wood, it's like metal or something. Not a bad guitar though for a first guitar, sounds decent to me. Wish there were 2 pickups though. And yea, wood. That's pretty important.

Ok, I guess my question was how I do know what the best level of gain is for the preamp before it starts effecting the sound quality ("saturation?") Because I could record with low gain and record right up to the mic and reach a level of -18 on my DAW. Or, I could also turn the gain up real...

But an Audio Buddy for example doesn't have a VU meter. It just has 2 LEDs by the gain knob..."CLIP" (pretty obvious what this one is for), and "SIG". Don't know what "SIG" is for. Not sure how to tell if it's at line level...:confused: Edit: also, since I record at 16-bit (Audition doesn't...

I don't know much when it comes to levels, so this may be a stupid question, but how do you know when your levels are at line level? For example, say you have a microphone plugged into an Audio Buddy, which is plugged into the LINE IN of the soundcard. How do you know what the optimum level is...

Thanks Wheelema. :cool: I'm going to look over those boards & CPU tomorrow when I get off work. :cool:

Wow lots of great advice here. :cool: ggun - I know. I wouldn't ever buy a guitar online, because guitars (especially acoustic) can vary a great deal even in the same make/model. Art & Luth is a great brand, and the same one my friend has that sounds really good. Very bassy and also real loud...

Can someone recommend a good Core DUO for about the same price? All this new technology with computers confuses me, it's not as simple as it used to be.

Can you really collect unemployment for being fired? Does that mean I can punch my boss in the face and get checks in the mail for it? Oh, and Chessrock, why do you put that . on the end of all your posts? It's really tedious and bothers me, it makes me want to erase it. :mad:

Once you convert to MP3, that information is lost forever. Converting back to wav will just make the file size bigger, you won't get any quality back. First goto the options menu and change the MP3 settings. Make sure it is using the LAME encoding engine, set to "CBR", and then change the...

Are you not using Windows? :confused: If you are just use Windows Media Player to test it...

okay .

Ok...I'm usually able to figure out abbreviations for things judging by their context, but what does YMMV stand for? I see it all the time and I have no clue. :confused:

Honestly I didn't really like your song that much, it was alright though I guess. And I don't even know Rami so don't try and say that's why I don't care for your song. :rolleyes:

It says "Error downloading music" for me. Myspace sucks when it comes to MP3 quality. Try: www.lightningmp3.com or www.upload2.net Edit: There's also www.SoundClick.com which is a lot better for music than MySpace.

I'd rather talk about making the most of "lower/mediocre" gear than how awesome some $8,000 preamp or $4,000 microphone is.

I also find it funny when you click on "Secrets of Mastering Revealed" the first thing that shows up is "Har-Bal"...

Tutorials seem like a pretty good idea, but

CDex .

Yea...that's cool... Just make sure you're not running Solitaire at the same time you're running Microsoft Bob's fisher-price recorder You may also want to record at a sample rate of about....2... :(

XP supports 4 GB of memory max, which is a shame but I doubt anyone would need anymore than that in the near future. I plan on getting Vista when it comes out though as long as all my software will run on it. Aparently the server editions of XP support up to 32 and 64 GB of RAM. :eek...
