    Digitally Double Pitch and Speed Of 7.5 IPS Tapes Perfectly- Don't have 15 IPS machin

    Would it be terrible practice to record your tapes at 48KHz and then change the sample rate to 96 (without resampling) and then work with it from there? Or are the algorithms in Reaper, for example, going to give you better results? Sound Forge (and prob. others) lets you simply change the...

    Hooking up Zoom H2 to Sonar 7 PE, possible? How?

    Have you tried disabling your onboard sound card? In Sonar 4, I couldn't get it to use my Mia card if my Soundblaster was still installed. I've upgraded to Sonar 7, but still only have the Mia installed, so I don't know if that's still a problem.

    Repairing a broken pot on an amp

    Pots have several specs. Basic ones: -value, in ohms -type, log, lin or rev log (response curve through its range) -shaft size, threaded part that'll be mounted to the amp faceplate -shaft shape, 'D', round, split (prob. not on anamp) -shaft length, how far out the front it extends so the knob...

    Any Boss LS-2 Users?

    timmerman is right except that the LS-2 is good for instrument (guitar) ouputs (well below line-level) as well as line level outputs, e.g. keyboards. And as stated above, it's not suited for a mic.

    Countryman DI manual?

    Well, your 20 yrs experience is more than mine, but for what it's worth, everything I've run through them was great - basses and keyboards. It's active, so I can throw anything at it. My P bass sounds awesome through it alone. It also works on my piezo-like upright pickup. I've also used it...

    How do you know it is time to recap?

    From what I've read and been told, I would agree with an early post in your other thread that says if you've cleaned your pots, switches and faders and they still pop and/or scratch, then you probably need to recap (as long as the pots, etc. are really clean and good). I've also been told told...

    Mic Operation Made Simple

    Saw this recently outside on the deck of the Battleship NJ. Would be nice for a few singers I know. Hard to mount on a mic stand though.

    Questions about Tubes?

    I've been told by techs that it doesn't make a difference on at least my Ampegs (B-12N and B-25B). I don't know if that's because they use 5AR4's which the author of the article says minimizes the damage or because of an issue of scale in these amps. When I worked for a Chief Engineer at a...

    Routing what i have/Monitering w/effects

    If I understand you, I think the problem is that ASIO direct monitoring needs to be off. Is the coupling effect a doubling of your signal, with one being delayed slightly? I'm guessing so. And you are turning input monitoring on in your recording software? If you aren't turning off ASIO...

    ABY pedal & DI box

    Glad to help. (I almost used Lapulapu) No signal loss with the LS-2. The level controls can both cut and boost. It's got a 1M Ohm input which works well for my passive and active basses and my piezo-like upright pickup. The nice thing about the LS-2 is that it has many modes -...

    DMP3 > RNC > ProjectMix wiring / cabling question

    Using a TRS from the out of the RNC is fine, though it'll still be unbalanced and only have signal on the tip and the sleeve. But as above, from RNC, definitely do not use TRS on the in of the RNC unless it is from a compatibly wired insert jack. IF, everything's a short run AND the Projectmix...

    USB Problems!

    Pickup a USB adapter (cheap for desktops, more for laptops). I've had bizarre problems with a few USB ports on machines that were resolved by getting a new adapter. $15-40. $40 will probably get you a Firewire port as well. If it's motherboard USB connections you are having problems with, have...

    Sonar 5 with Emu-1 / Alesis D4

    Sonar midi track output: Have you selected the right keyboard on the track output? You should have at least your two keyboards as choices for where to send each or your midi channels. Keyboard connections: The above is assuming you have each keyboard connected independently to the computer...

    ABY pedal & DI box

    Radial makes a bunch of A-B/preamp/DI stomp boxes, but I'm sure if they have combination modes for both channels. I've used a Boss LS-2 pedal for years to combine a dry signal with my distortion, or to share an amp with another instrument, or to use to swich between two insturments. It's very...

    make computer sound better ??

    Regarding the sound, not sequencing: Does your soundcard's synth support sound fonts? If so, find some better sound sets and have the soundcard use them instead. Older Soundblasters used to use a light set (low memory req.) but they'd include larger (better) files that you could optionally use...

    Copright Question about Video Game Cover (MGS)

    It is certainly copyrighted. It's published in the form of a video game. People write music for video games just like for anything else even though it's 'performance' may be dictated or influenced by the flow of the game. The game was created by Konami. So I would start with Konami. If you...

    Guitar Cables

    1/4" TS and TRS Switchcraft say it on the outer body of the jack, lengthwise. The XLR's are almost always use green plastic for the inner body where the pins are mounted. They also say Switchcraft along with pin numbers on the front-facing, outside face. How did you do the test, by manually...

    Oh. Thanks. I had been looking unsuccessfully for screens specifically for the 603 based on most screens I've seen seem to be for specific models. Also, most seem to be more expensive...

    DIY Windscreens

    Did you come up with anything? I was just thinking about trying a couple clown noses for a couple MXL 603's I have.
