    How Do You Store Your Cables?

    Um, this may sound bad, but I kinda just toss them on the floor.

    Best Sounding CDs Ever?

    Lost Horizon - Awakening The World This has been my favourite CD since 2001, the year of it's release. Nearly a decade later, it still blows my freakin' mind every time I listen to it, which is fairly often. Everything on it is perfect. Of course, it helps that I love power metal. Also, I...

    Whats wrong with me?

    In my most successful experiences as a creative person, I've always worked best under pressure. I have to set myself a tight but obtainable deadline.

    Worst sounding Cd's ever

    Yes, it's a very good thing in terms of product consistency, but that wasn't my point. Considering how stoned I was when I made it, I guess it's okay if anyone missed it. Anyway, I'm sober now. I've been thinking that whether a CD sounds good or bad doesn't even matter to the average...

    Have u ever used a weird recording technique

    If I had a pet parrot, I could try to 'record' some vocals into it, then from the parrot into a mic, onto tape. But Alas, I have no parrot.

    Have u ever used a weird recording technique

    When I made my very first 4-track tape, I needed a drum track; a rock backbeat. I had no drums, no drum machine, anything like that. I did however have a Super NES with Mario Paint. I ran a cord from my TV's headphone jack to the line in on my TASCAM Porta, with my Nintendo drum track...

    Canadian Success is easy

    Maybe so, but what does that have to do with Canada?

    Your technique - Line out or mic on your amplifier ? Which one you do ?

    I mostly use the line out on an old Digitech RP300. Sometimes I'll mic, and sometimes I'll mix them both. But mostly the line out because I don't like my mics much.

    Mine would say, "you haven't touched me enough lately. Are you cheating on me with your wife?"

    Who Destroyed Metal?

    Obviously nothing and nobody killed Metal, and never will. As long there is injustice in the world, Metal will be here to fight it! Boo-yah!

    Newbie in need of direction.

    I too have an integrated sound card (16-bit); it works, but I wouldn't mind upgrading to something better someday. I have a mixer plugged into the line-in jack on the card. I've heard that plugging a mic into the mic input on a computer is not a good idea for recording, and in my own...

    New HDD not detected

    I recently had a similar issue, but I didn't need to format it in a separate machine or use an enclosure; I just popped in my Windows* install disc, and wrote a partition that fills the entire HDD. After rebooting into Windows, I just formatted the drive and and it was ready to rock. *Or the...

    Worst sounding Cd's ever

    CDs are cheap, disposable junk; easy to replace. Every copy of a CD release sounds the same. The sound of each copy (of the same recording) on vinyl develops it's own charisma after a while. CDs just get unplayable scratches that hurt your ears, none of that sweet mojo you get from a...

    Worst sounding Cd's ever

    homerecording.com is the internet's best resource for historical info. I always thought it was funny that Mr. Bean had a record player in his Mini, but now I know it's not so unusual afterall. I should get one for my Grand Caravan, just to remind me to take it easy on the speed bumps.

    It's vinyl to go. So much easier than installing a turntable in your car.

    Whats a good plug in for recording?

    Since I love being a smartass, I'm gonna say that a good plug in for recording is to plug the mic into the mixer.:laughings:

    Worst sounding Cd's ever

    Yeah, I'm finding more and more that I really hate the sound of those older CDs (sometimes I think they did it on purpose just to sell us those hyped-up digitally remastered versions [with or without crappy bonus tracks] years later). Fortunately I have some of the same albums on vinyl, and if...
