    audio interface: Lexicon vs M-audio

    If I were to use the computer that I already have (no firewire), should I go for usb or pci? Also, a guy at guitar center told me that to avoid noise, I have to get something external. Is that true? Should I rule out internal sound cards?

    audio interface: Lexicon vs M-audio

    Now I am considering "neither" as an option. I have not defined a budget. So far, I've just looked for the cheapest thing available that would do the job I want it to do. (im posting here for help to find it, :) ). I don't need midi. My computer does not have firewire capability. I don't...

    audio interface: Lexicon vs M-audio

    hmm. Well, I guess I'll need to reconsider, as I was just about to purchase the m-audio. All I'm looking for is a clean, noiseless recording solution so I can make decent demos.

    floor monitors

    I have a 10X15X8 (WLH) rehearsal room. I am thinking of purchasing some floor monitors, because the vocalists often complain of not being able to hear themselves well enough through the pa. Should I? And if so, should they be 10", 12" or 15"? Thanks.

    DIY Recording for Hardcore band.

    re: DIY Recording for Hardcore band I am a beginner and DIY kind of guy myself... Do you have microphones? (what kind?). One thing to consider is that a lot of computers have noisy soundcards. In other words, they add undesireable noise to your music. It's a consequence of the soundcard...

    foam for my walls

    Thanks for the input guys. The walls are covered in this sort of black fiber board, about 3/4" inch thick. Should that do me any good? The guy who put it up called it "black fiber brace sheathing". You can push a thumbtack into it like cork board, but it's not cork board. This is it...

    foam for my walls

    Hey guys. I just got A LOT of this from trash at work. The only setback, as you can see, is that it's all pink, which is a color I just can't stand. Any bright ideas? I'm also trying to come up with a good strategy/pattern to arrange them, so if you have any advice, lay it on me. Thanks.

    adjusting bridge

    I bought a strat, and the bridge is at an angle from the body. In other words, you can bend down or up. I find this undesireable and would like the bridge to be flush with the body. Has anyone ever made this adjustment? Should I attempt it myself or get someone else to do it? Thanks.

    switch pedal for amp

    re The nuts @ the jacks are made of PLASTIC. They've never held and one is stripped. I guess I could try to fix it; I just hate it and wanted to know if I could use something else.

    switch pedal for amp

    I have a Crate amp, and the pedal switch is a piece of shit. It has three switches, lead, rhythm, and reverb. Do I have to live with it or can I replace it with something else by Fender or something? Thanks.

    criticism...how much is too much?

    I'm recording an album with my band. I love 'em. I sing and write much of the music. Naturally, I want the songs to sound good, not just my part. I was just wondering if you guys had any advice on the general issue of criticism during recording. Take 10, take 100?...where do you draw the...

    I just purchased a Fender American H-S-S Strat (black). The humbucker is a "diamondback" humbucker. Does anyone know if the diamondback is the equal replacement of the atomic humbuckers of the past? There is no info. about the diamondback on Fender's site. I plan to replace the pickguard...

    grip posture

    I have always adored this guy's playing since I was a kid. Still do...but I noticed that his hands are in the sideways position a lot: thumbs up, knuckles out. I remember being taught to have your palms face downward for more flexibility. Comments/suggestions...
