Hello Spinsterwun, Gee, thanks for the heads up on the alcohol. Let me clear something up first - you're right about alcohol not being good for records, but only certain records - SHELLAC BASED 78s. So if anyone out there wants to clean shellac based 78s, don't use an alcohol based solution...

Happy New Year; If you're recording with Cubasis there's really no need for an external mixer during mixdown. The mixer in the program should be just fine. Besides, I can't picture how you could get enough lines out of the computer to feed each instrument into its own channel on the external...

I've been getting a pretty good sound out of a Roland Blues Cube BC60. It's an open back w/one 12". No tubes, but gets a pretty warm sound anyway. I use an Ibanez AS200 and find that even at louder volumes I can get a tone like HR used to on his old bossa nova records. The amp's pretty...

Well, even though it's going to take a lot of extra effort on your part, you gotta take that deadbeat to court. That's the ONLY way you're ever going to come out close to even on this deal. It's obvious that nothing you can say is going to change this guy's mind, so let a judge do it for you...

Hey - nobody told me about the beer!

Back in the seventies I had an ES 345, which was the 335 with stereo pickups. Had that Varitone knob I never used. In the sixties I had the Trini Lopez model. Anybody remember that one? Red with the headstock that looked like a fender? I had the slim body AND the full body archtop. I...

OK, I'm almost afraid to say this, but..but.. I'm using a SOFTWARE plug-in compressor with my Cubase! There, I said it! I've never tried a hardware compressor, cuaSe I understand you would use it while you're recording. Most of my stuff is midi, except for my guitar, and I convert each midi...

Hi, I just got through writing you a detailed description of how to do this, and I pressed a key and lost it! Aauuuurrrgh!! :mad: ANYWAY, I've transfered vinyl to CD with pretty good results, using techniques I've picked up on the web, and I'll try to share them with you. Here is the process...

So far I've been using only plug-ins. I haven't used any external effects, yet. What I have to do when using the plug-ins is record my guitar dry, THEN add the effects AFTER it's recorded. So while I'm recording, I don't hear any effects on my guitar at all. Some people say that's good...

Chris, Robby is right on the money - you need a preamp between your ax and the computer. Went through the same trip you're going through now, until I picked up a guitar with a preamp built in. What a difference. If you have the time, check out the sound I'm getting from a classical with a...

Merry Christmas David, I see you're still looking for an answer to the Cakewalk/Cubase issue. I honestly don't think you can find an objective answer because everyone is partial to whatever program they're using. BUT LET me tell you this. I am a Cubase user and like what it does. I have a...

Howzit Drstawl, Well, I just spent about 25 minutes listening to a bunch of your tunes at your website. Jumbo Blonde - gotta be my favorite! #10 was the first one I listened to, though, and I gotta admit that I was totally unprepared for what I heard. After reading the description, I was...

Yo Emeric! Just got through listening to your song. Sorry it took so long but I had to wait until I got to work. GOOD ONE! The guitar solo is rippin'! Got some questions for you. First of all, what kind of sound processor are you playing the lead guitar through, and what kind of a guitar...

Hi Meshuggah, Went to the link you provided but was unable to download the song. Got a message that it couldn't be found. Well, I tried anyway. I'm a little confused about the site - is it one group playing all the songs? Or is it a bunch of groups using the same site? Which group do YOU...

Hello Drstawl and Meshuggah, Hey, thanks for taking the time to listen to my stuff! I really appreciate it. Drstawl, as far as the copyright issue goes, I don't know :-(. IUMA never mentioned anything about it when I submitted the music, but I imagine I'll eventually have to do something...

You're right about that....thanks for trying anyway. Lee http://leemuller.iuma.com

What you need to do is "record" your midi tracks - this will convert them to wave files, which is what you need to burn on a CD. I'm not that familiar with Cakewalk, but if it's anything like Cubase, which I use, you should be able to set up an audio track, then play your midi tracks and record...

Hello All, This is the first time in this clinic for me, and I feel like the lamb being led to slaughter, but here goes. I just posted a new song called "One for the Guitar Player" on my site at http://leemuller.iuma.com. I recorded a Takamine Hirade Concert HR5 directly into my computer...

Hey Shana, My 2 cents on giving guitar lessons. First of all, like David says, get the money UP FRONT. This eliminates you having to waste a morning waiting on a $20 lesson that never shows up. Second, schedule all the lessons on ONE DAY, and schedule them as close together as you can. It's...

Strat, Bandmaster, Fender Reverb and Fender Echo Unit. Exact setup I had when I was a teenager in the 60's. (sigh) There's nothing like the sound of the old Fender reverb units. In fact, I still have a few vinyls of the Surfaris, Chantays, Ventures. Gees, those were the days. Lee...
