    Upstairs Studio Build - Pics

    Oh Americans and your crazy wooden houses. =P Looks pretty damn cool though. Very roomy. Will be cool to see what the finished studio looks like. =]

    Need help simplifying my digital set up

    If you have a lot of outboard gear, I would think a patchbay is pretty much needed. Unless of course, you just put it what you need when you need it, but that's just way more difficult and fiddly, than just patching as, when and how you need. If you want to do it digitally, you need to have the...

    Getting back into music

    You don't really mention what advice you're looking for. If it's for programmes to use, there are a lot. A quick Google will bring up a ton of stuff. As you've already bought an interface, it seems pointless giving advice on that. What other gear do you already have? What are you planning to use...

    Upgrading PC for pro audio???

    There are a LOT of good power supplies. Antec probably actually get some of the biggest praise. They also make some very sexy cases. I have one of the Dark Fleet cases they do. I use Corsair PSU though. Corsair known very much for their reliability. But in all, it doesn't matter who you get...

    Which laptop ?

    I'd completely avoid Dell and a lot of Toshiba stuff too. Not heard anything bad about Acer though. Yet.

    Help tuning my 4 string bass to CGCF tuning?

    Heavier. As it allows lower pitch at a higher tension. You may also need a set up. It could be that your neck is bent too far back when tension is looser. I have my basses set up in a way that allows for dropping pitch, whilst still having the neck in the right place to stop buzzing. If you do...

    Stands

    I spend about £30 on my stand. Just needed something solid enough that wouldn't fall over every time the wind blew through the room. =P Also has plenty of fiddly bits to get into the right position. Always comes in handy. =D

    Upgrading PC for pro audio???

    Overpriced mobo. Pointless adding a video card, when built in graphics work perfectly fine for what the guy needs. Especially as standard DVI can send higher than 1080 HD signals. Good choice of hard drive, though the Blacks seem to have greater performance and reliability over the Blues. For...

    guitar plugin?

    If you're already recording through an amp, an amp modeller would be fairly pointless.

    6505+ For direct recording through impulses.. overkill?

    Most people can't tell the difference. Especially if it's an impulse of the mic and cab in the mic position you would usually use. Impulses are very accurate. It just may be hard to find the one you want to use. I'd take the mic and cab myself if money was no problem. More flexibility to change...

    I finally set my shit up right, I think... lol

    Exact thing I thought. The top of your computer monitor should be at eye level. As your eyes and ears are at a similar height, your audio monitors should really be up near the top of your computer monitor, so that you can hear them properly. They should also be as wide apart from each other as...

    6505+ For direct recording through impulses.. overkill?

    If you like it the way it is, I don't see why you wouldn't like it in your recordings.

    Home Made Rack

    I doubt the gear is that heavy, that it would take out a stand, especially made to sit heavy things on top of your desk... Printers themselves aren't exactly lightweight. All it needs is some rack rails. Assuming it's already 19 inch. Otherwise, it will need some adjusting.

    I have decided..

    Lots of time, but a hell of a lot less money than a pro studio. You may not be good now, but you're only 17. It takes practise to do anything well.

    help me help my bass player understand

    The 15 is a waste too. And just mixing up cabs of different driver sizes can end up causing phasing issues. Unless of course, you have some kind of cutoff, where only certain frequencies are going to each cab. Then it could work pretty well. Good that the cab ended up being 8ohm anyways. But...

    "Remaster" to 44.1kHz, 16bit from 48kHz, 24bit

    Sounds good at the level it is to me?

    help me help my bass player understand

    4*4ohm speakers can only be wired to a 4ohm or 16ohm load. If you want an 8ohm load in it, you would need 8ohm drivers.

    Schecter 7 string PUP change

    "hate the 707 blackout pickups" What now? I know the 707s and know the Blackouts... But 707 Blackouts? =P They aren't even made by the same guys. As for the different sizes, I'm sure there is a little wiggle room for it. I've never seen a pickup have such a tight fit before. Both the pickup and...

    guitar plugin?

    They are plugins, you have to open them through your DAW.

    Upgrading PC for pro audio???

    You can get some great stuff for that amount. I'd reccomend first gen i5 or i7 CPU, or 2nd gen i5. 8GB of RAM. 3 hard drives[or 2 if you use the original hard drive] - 1TB should really be about average size, Samsung Spinpoint F3s, Western Digital Caviar Blacks and Seagate Barracudas are some of...
