Pffft. If you wouldn't use a sim for guitar, don't put bass down to that level either. =P If you are working on Death Metal stuff, I'd very much [though also very biased!] recommend GK gear. I use the 1001RB-II, but the 700RB-II would get the same sound for less price. Much better for studio...

That is stupid reasoning. Once you fill up your RAM, it starts writing the oldest stuff to the hard drive instead. You should certainly be surprised if all 12GB of RAM fills up during a recording session. Most likely, some of your software has a memory leak, or just as bad, you have a ton of...

I've just started a new project after finishing up an old project. Well the guy I'm doing it with closed one up and started another anyways. Focusing more on some Black Metal. Not something I've ever really been into, but playing any Metal can be fun. Will be my first time going up front with...

You have to format before you recover. and you will most likely lose some data where the problems in the drive occured. I've had to do it twice to an old drive I had, before I gave up, sold it, and just got an internal drive to do its job. I just use flash drives for partable stuff now. No...

I'm all for giving my music away for however much people want to pay. Bandcamp uses that kinda structure. They call it "name your price". If anyone felt like the music was worth something, they are free to put in some money as a donation. If not, I hope they at least have a good time listening...

I use 8GB and I've never used it all. I think I only just push out to 5GB when doing serious gaming. and that is probably down to my graphics card not having quite enough RAM. I never had problems with just 4GB before. It's always good to future-proof with more though. Eventually, your computer...

Those moveable boards don't seem like they would be much help in those positions. I like the look though. Seems way too tidy. Probably to do with just setting it up though. Wait until you've been using that room a while longer. =P Think I should put a rack up somewhere. My interface just hangs...

I assume they ask, because they use a PC themselves. but you're asking as a Mac or Linux user, you are still using a PC, just not a Windows PC. =P Amp sims and the like aren't something you'd get with the old timey analogue gear. But I'm sure getting mic'd up and using effects hardware would...

They aren't meant for an already mic'd guitar. They are amp sims, because they simulate an amp. It'd be like playing through an amp, then plugging that amp into another amp otherwise. You should never need to use an amp or cab sim on an already mic'd track, ever. You have already sent it through...

Computer monitors, not audio monitors. =P Your speakers look fine. The screens are what I was referring to as tiny. They look like 15 inch 4:3 ratios. I used to run with a single 15 inch. Just moving to 19 inch 16:9 ratio made a huge difference though, so I guess 2 15 inches would work just as...

Guitar Rig aint so bad. I know loads of people who use that. Myself, I like to use NRR-1 or Le456 into KeFIR with a cab impulse. All of them are free, so have a play with them. LePou, who makes the Le456 and KeFIR have some other amp sims too, and another impulse loader called LeCab, which is...

They are basically a recording sample of a mic'd cab. Each sample is of the mic in a particular position on a particular cab, so you can end up going through a lot to find the ones you like. You use a plugin "impulse loader" to load the impulse. So it basically simulates a cab. Much like you...

Bullshit. Don't be a moron. Studio One is right up there with them. For a start, it was developed by some of the same guys that started up the development of Cubase. It's one of the easiest to use, right up there with the likes of Reaper. and it has tools comparable to Logic and Pro Tools. All...

Well worth the price. Which is surprisingly little. £440 each when I got mine. About $700? The GKs I wanted were £720 each. =P But definitely a great sound from the Laneys. I use them with the tweeters off, or half on if I fancy a little bit more zing. Paired up with the GK, both give me some...

Get the right ones, learn how to use them, re-amp into a good cab to mic, or find some great cab impulses to keep it all in software. Nobody will know the difference if done right. I use them for guitar all the time, as I don't have my own guitar amp. Primarily a bassist, so all my money went...

My basses sound fairly terrible on their own. So DI is not all that great. It can capture a lot of the low end stuff and captures the bass as it really sounds in general. But it's just they have such bland sounds. When put into my amp and hearing it the basses through the cab, it's like new life...

I have used Laney for my bass since before even getting my own. Coincidentally, or perhaps subconsciously. I used some Laney keyboard amp back in high school that I used to practise on. =P Once I actually got my own gear and started practising at home, I got myself an RB-3 practise amp. Since...

Awesome looking studio. Is that a sliding door with insulation on it too? Haha. Shame about the computer monitors though. They looks so tiny and high up. I have good eyesight, and don't think I'd be able to see what was going on clearly. =P

Seems like a pretty average looking Schecter. They are pretty nice guitars though. Especially some of their higher end stuff. and their top end basses, which are still pretty mid end in price, do a great job.

I know that, but I was thinking more something I could attach between my bridge pickup and the bridge. Rather than having to completely replace parts. Otherwise, I may as well just go all out and get single string bridges with built in piezos. =P I'm just looking for the bare minimum, least hassle.
