Yeah actually the amp was plugged into a different outlet. Still humming. That ground loop insulator thing, how am I supposed to use it? I'm using a 1/4 instrument cable! But yeah, I think that's the right idea.

Ahh! I see. Let me go try to fix it!

Both the Amp and comouter are plugged into the same circuit. For that direct box with a lift switch, what would be good? I want to be able to record a bass to (if it makes a difference).

Hey, I'm getting this hum with the Lexicon Alpha ASIO. It's a USB sound interface that is basically a outboard sound card for recording. However, I have always been getting this hum when recording my guitar. I did some testing and determined what it is. The problem is, I don't know what to do...

Hmm, I'd like to use windows (that's what I have for everything) but I know mac is good. I just looked at the prices for the mac book pro and holy crap! I want something cheap if I want a bass guitar and EZDrummer! :) Ohh and the grounding problem, that's what it is. I'm going to make a...

Oh I always (not relizing) used O instead of A for ASIO! I'm using the actuall device with my computer. I don't have a laptop (I'm planning on getting one. It's a 800 watt power supply in this computer (it's made for gaming).

Ok. How good is the quality of those? I have a Lexicon Alpha OSIO Driver and there's lots of humming.

Hey, I want to get a laptop but I'm not sure what to get. I'm only going to be having one line going in (but many tracks). For example, I'll play my guitar and then replay it (doubling). Then bass... EZDrummer for drums. I'll be using Cubase LE 4 (possibly upgrading). Are their any laptops...

I'm thinking of getting a laptop so I want to be able to hook up and record. I would disconnect often becuase I'd bring the laptop many places I go. What about firewire? I'm not sure if laptops have firewire jacks or not.

So I'm going to need a soundcard set-up for recording. Is it possible to have 2 soundcards becuase that's what I'd need to do (unless one has 5.1 surround sound and is set up for recording).

Ok, I currently have a Lexicon Alpha OSIO Driver and want to upgrade. I am using USB because my soundcard doesn't have a 1/8 (1/32... whatever) jack going in. I have vista 64 bit (if that matters). What is the best DI box (or any other way to get sound into the computer direct) for bass and...

I've got an Axle. It's a good starter (great it's price). I also have a first act (piece of shit) that has been sitting in our spare room for years. My guitar collection is going to grow fast. It'll be big when I'm 25 (only 13).

Yeah, I have a Nvidia 9800 GTX. I'm not running SLI (2 cards working together) but it would be killer. The 9800 is more for gaming and so it runs hot. Currently my computer is gone, it's having serious hardware/software issues and is being fixed. Oh and that splitter thing is expensive. It's...

Ok, this is a pretty old topic but here's the current plan: Bass Guitar EZDrummer I'm debating on a SM57. I'll get one in the future.

The amp I have is a Line 6 Spider Jam. That can play songs, drum tracks and has lots of built in effects. It's a great amp so I never grow tired of it.

If you're stuggling to come up with a riff, take a little baby guitar part and farm it. Riff farming is when you take a guitar part and take parts out of it, speed it up, slow it down, add notes and some effects or whatever. It's a fun concept to playing the guitar and usually works if you have...

You don't have to double guitars. But, it sounds alot better. The first episode of The Metal Shop Podcast explains this very well, check it out! (It gives examples of the differences)

If you neck is bent, don't mess with the truss bar. You can snap your neck in half so take that to someone who knows what thier doing. But yeah, the buzz is normal. I don't mind it at all.

Yeah, I would get a discount. So C4 is $500?

Yep, I'm getting a bass. I'll get it soon!
