    Headphones

    If you are the engineer, Sony 7506 will give you the cleanest and most transparent sound at a reasonable price. The more expensive ones are not that much different. Actually, you just may be surprised that it may even be better than some more expensive ones. But for headphones costing $200 or...

    Best Brass Section Keyboard

    What would you guys recommend for a reasonably inexpensive keyboard that would give me some decent Brass Section (a combination of trumphet, sax & trombone). I am clueless when it comes to synths, but I know some people talk about additive, subtractive, emulator, samplers, etc. etc. What we...

    Cheap guitar vs. Expensive guitar

    So who said something about LP and Strat? LP and Strat do not own exclusive rights to their acknowledge dtonality and playability. Post your standard then....

    Cheap guitar vs. Expensive guitar

    what is a good guitar? It is really hard to tackle any subject, especially if you are comparing two things when you have not defined what the standard is. We must first agree or define what a good guitar should be. We must agree on what matters first - the neck? the frets? the bridge? the...

    Rock Drum Loops

    ACID ROCK HAS THEM ACID ROCK (ACID MUSIC) has you rock drum sounds, but also base, guitar, lead, etc, etc. But you have to buy the whole program that only records up to eight tracks. This the the ACID ROCK of yesteryear (it came before ACID PRO 2.0), if you could still find them.

    PENTIUM 4 or AMD ATHLON XP?

    THANKS FOR ALL YOUR THOUGHTS! I think I got it: - Athlon has better numeric coprocessor within it so it handles sound and graphics better than an P4. - Athlon is cheaper than P4. CAVEATS: - Athlon needs correct chipset or it is picky with the chipsets. - Athlon run's litterally hotter...

    PENTIUM 4 or AMD ATHLON XP?

    Hi, I am about to buy a separate computer dedicated to recording here in New Jersey. I had been advised by a kid going through a California recording school that he preferes and believes that AMD ATHLON XP chips are more reliable especially if used with Windows XP Pro. I was always under the...

    Acid 3.0 Beeps On Beat When Rendered.

    THANK YOU I found out what the problem was. It was the beatmaster/maker when I try to import the wave file. But when I try to render the file through another way - problem solved. I bought his program legit from a computer show. I own Acid Music (for unlimited tracks) , Acid Rock (for its...

    Acid 3.0 Beeps On Beat When Rendered.

    HELP! I have created a mix of two of my songs and rendered them to be in MP3 and WAV format, but there is this mechanical beeping/honking noise on every downbeat and I can't seem to get rid of it. Editing it manually would really be very tedious. Has anybody come across this weird bug? I am...

    Caddy for d-80

    I have searched far and wide the whole universe of computer shows, catalogs and the internet and discovered that only Fostex carries those exact same caddies for their D-90's, D-80's, D-etc. Which makes them - fact: expensive to obtain. Solution: I opened the case, took the railings from the...

    getting acid to recognize new plugins.

    If you really need that sound that the plug in provides that Acid won't recognize, check if Sound Forge recognizes it and add it to the sound wave (make sure you make a back up of the original wave file because the change is irreversible). That is one workaround. Another is to uninstall your...

    Sound Forge, Acid, Cool Edit, ARRRGGH!!!

    Wow, you posted this one in January and here it is, a month later and no one replied to a simple enough problem. Maybe because the answer is so obvious. Simple put it is just like comparing apples and oranges. They are both fruit, both round, both grow on trees (as opposed to root crops and...

    diff beetween acid and vegas

    Though both programs looks the same somewhat and appears to do the same things, there really are big differences between the two. Both records multiple tracks simultaneously based on the computer, sound cards, etc., but the similarity ends there. For one, Acid could play loops and could...

    Double Hard Disk

    A few tips: Stay away from your USB when you are recording. Use your regular keyboard port and regular mouse ports. Disconnect any camera plugged in the USB. Goal is to keep USB clean, if possible, take the USB driver removed from your system. Reason: USB is a CPU hog. That is why it is...

    my new computer is great... only problem

    don't worry You are not micing your computer are you? You are not getting any bleed into the microphone from your computer console, do you? Then why worry of the noise? Sure it is annoying, but like everything else, you could get used to it. If you are handy, and your computer is such that...

    16/48 Vs 24/96 recording wise.

    Search the Archives Search the archives. This had been discussed before. I am not saying that we are lazy discussing it now, it justs that the thread that discussed it was quite extensive and revealing and you don't want to miss out. Good luck.

    @#!$%^!!

    CHECK YOUR SYSTRAY Check how many programs you maybe running at the same time. You could do this by pressing the keys: CTRL+ALT+DEL at the same time. Select and ENDTASK every program or process that you don't recognize and need. Remove any anti-virus program (as they check and analyze...

    Direct Or Mic'd

    I would like to get your opinions. Acknowledging that simultaneous track recording almost always guarantee's channel bleed, would it not be a good choice to record your guitars (or anything that could be plugged into the mixing console) directly instead of micing the speakers? I assume most...
