"Block" the trem.... Place a small block of dense wood/metal/plastic inside the guitar, under the springs, between the tremolo and the body of the guitar. Make sure it is wide enough to keep some tension on the springs. For that matter, block both sides, using shims to get it good and tight...

If stealthtech's hunch doesn't pan out, the next possible culprit might be Microsoft's latest and greatest... "system restore" are you using Windows Me or XP? M$ built in a neat "feature" that keeps track of your drives and maintains backups of your files and reference points that you can...

strmkr, I'm doing this from memory, so I'll be a bit vague on specifics. I'll follow up from home (where my K7S5A box is) if you haven't gotten it fixed by then. Go into the CMOS setup when you first start up. Choose "CPU settings" (or something like that, one of the last menu choices). The...

Don't get Alesis... Do you know if he already has an amplifier that he plans to use with the monitors? (this is a pretty important point, as monitors come in 2 VERY different categories, powered/non-powered aka active/passive.) If you're going the active/powered route, I'll add the JBL LSR...

Don't forget to get the 40pin/80strand ATA66+ IDE cables or your new drive will suck :eek:. Oh yeah, make sure your MOBO can push data at ATA100 or more. If not, buy a PCI controller. Queue

Go IDE! >=7200 RPM >=ATA 100 Seek time <~9 msec I've had success with IBM Deskstar, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus, and WD (can't recall the model name) I tend to buy drives in the 20-40GB range. Sometimes the larger drives (60GB+) have poorer performance ratings than drives in the same model line...

Should work fine with most all SOFTWARE. now your hardware might be another story... Queue

Philby, On connections- Look at the symbols on your PC. -((->)) = Line in ((-))-> = Line out The line in jack is generally an 1/8th in. trs (tip, ring, sleeve) aka 1/8in stereo, or mini stereo. You need to have some sort of adapter to correctly connect your 4 track's two main outputs to the...

Philby, I'm not familiar with the original, so I'll just take this on its own merit. Nice guitar work. There's a big problem with the mix tho... In nautical terms, you're listing to port.... In english, there's too much on the left side, too little on the right. Also the levels get a little...

Philby, If you listen to the unedited version, you'll notice that the vocals were already isolated. SoundForge is a powerful editing program. Many would argue (and justifiably so) that WaveLab is better. I'm just kinda used to the interface in SF. I d/l'd your song, and will post my thoughts...

I'm with ya on the "censorship is bad", but I'm not quite ready for my kids to be singing "kissin my ass" :eek: . I expose the kids to all kinds of music. They kinda grew out of Raffi around 2-3 yrs old. My daughter is mostly into the "mainstream" kids stuff (whatever she gets exposed to...

It has now become standard for me to be saddled with the task of creating a compilation CD to be added to the "Goodie Bags" passed out at my Twins' Birthday party. (They turn 6 this week). The kids (and Mommy) give me the song list, and I begin ripping and burning... This year Mommy added...

JBL LSR 25P Active Nearfield Biamplified Compact Excellent Stereo Imaging Wide Sweet Spot Magnetically Shielded (don't want your Monitors screwing up your Monitor :eek: ) Accept inputs at +4 or -10 Extremely good looking Even better sounding ~$500/pr OH, jacked straight in to my Aardvark DP...

voxvendor, I thought Alan showed a great deal of restraint in his post on this thread... Imagine what he REALLY wanted to say. :eek: Queue

Bias I'm talking from a research angle. I'd say many of us were biased by knowing which mic was which... If we were blinded to the mics, I'd bet the opinions would change. Queue ps - Bruce, thanks for the continued efforts in educating the masses...

I still think I win on the "no talent in the guitar arena".... I suck so bad, I don't even have all the strings on the guitar!!! How Queue gets by... I do have a 4-string Bass with all 4 strings on it, though... :rolleyes: Sucking is ok, as long as you know it. Slack, I've forgotten how...

I'm still such a newb..... :( Ok, so they sound different, but the only one I really didn't like was the m160. I thought it sounded dull and muddy. What does this test tell me? 1. I still have a long way to go... 2. This stuff is so friggin subjective... Queue

I saw a chapter in the n-track manual that addresses using it in this manner. Whenever I record using Vegas, I monitor the inputs to reduce "apparent latency"... what FX are you trying to use? is it that you have a bazillion Dx plugins, and would rather not buy all the stompboxes to get the...
