    Should I submit 30 songs to a free songwriting contest?

    I would imagine that it is quality, not quantity that they're after. If someone is submitting a lot of songs (like that other guy with the 5 per day that you mentioned) and they are all "bad" songs, I would think the judges would start to get predisposed against that person. But I'm not a...

    Worst Singer EVER

    That may be so, but it doesn't change the fact that to me it sounds like nails on a blackboard.

    I am a fan of Line 6

    This is what I use it for. I have a the 75 watt Line 6 Spider, too. Am I thrilled with the sound? No, not really. I've been playing with it a long time and still haven't found the sound that grabs me. Is it ok enough for playing at low volumes to practice or song-write? Absolutely...

    Another Ohms Question

    Ok, I have an amp head that has two separate ohms selector switches. One is for the cabinet - you can select between 8 ohms and 16 ohms. One is for the transformer - you can select between 4 ohms and 8 ohms. I know what the cabinet selector switch is for - you match that with the cabinet...

    Going Wireless

    What would you recommend for a good wireless setup for guitar that will do a good job of sending a strong signal without messing up the sound/tone of the guitar...at a somewhat reasonable (i.e., $500 or less, the lower the better) price?

    Compressor Question

    Ok, here's a newbie question. Though I'm not a newbie to the guitar, I have had a compression/sustainer pedal in my drawer for about, oh, 15 years. Never used it because, honestly, I have no idea what to do with it. Can anyone suggest useful applications and uses of a compression pedal with a...

    What's your favorite Guitar tone/sound?!

    That's the vibe I've been feeling these days, too. Another band whose guitar sound I'm really digging these days is Bowling for Soup. If you wanna go classic, gotta love early VH, and actually I really liked the tones on the VH 5150 album, too. Slash's tone is killer, too.

    Vernon Reid

    I remember reading quite some time ago an interview with VR, and he was explaining that the band originally wanted to do hard rock to heavy metal. Because they were black, the record company thought they couldn't sell in a heavy metal market, so pushed them to prepare songs in a different style...

    Who's Property Is It?

    Legally, he needs the piece of paper to have full ownership. If you intended that he would walk away with the final product and it would be **his** final product, then assign the copyrights and move on. Otherwise, you are screwing him out of what everyone understood the deal would be, even if...

    Not lIkeing my Voice? Is This COmmon?

    I hate my voice. I used to think it was ok for certain style songs. Now I just don't like it regardless. I hear a melody in my head, and I record it and it sounds terrible to me.

    No sound coming out with Sonar 4

    Sometimes I find that if I have another program open first that uses sound (i.e., Windows Media Player), the sound resources get allocated to that program, and sonar gets blocked. Close all your programs, make sure you open sonar first. Hopefully, that's an easy fix that works for you...

    emu 0404 vs audiophile 2496?

    I got the 2496. It's been rock solid for me. Maybe a professional can hear a sound quality difference between the emu and the 2496, but I can't. I'm a newbie looking for a solid first step, and the 2496 hasn't failed. Not once have I had a driver (or hardware, for that matter) issue, and...

    Blown up Comp with Firepod!

    Laptop recording can be tough. I started that way and abandoned it in favor of a desktop.

    I love guitar center thread

    I think it's a so/so kinda place. You just need to know what you're dealing with. I find it to be a fun place to go and wander around and look at stuff. And they have a good selection of items when I want to buy something right away instead of online. They've never given me any trouble...

    Selling rights to my songs

    Well, don't say "never, never." It depends on the commercial and economic objective and the circumstance. Just make sure that if you do, you are doing it with your eyes open and fully understand the ramifications.
