    Harsh AND Muddy

    I'm trying to record an amp playing a clean tone playing plenty of chords with open strings up and down the neck in a very moderate paced song like 90bpm or so. Open strings are mainly the b and the e but the low e is involved here and there. Whatever. Anyway, I seem to be able to get a result I...

    Up for a new amp...

    Hello... First off, I'm a home studio guy who records in a DIY home studio...so not playing gigs etc. Anyway, I've had this Fender Super Champ x2 for about 7 years. Nice amp, nice Fender tone and delicious reverb. I think so anyway. The prob is that it's always been very noisy...lots of hum...

    DI electric guitar for clean tone

    Edit: Never mind. I just found my old J48 active box and used that. It made a cleaner signal I think. Seemed to be anyway.

    Tascam Portastudio 464

    I bought this a month and a half ago or so and have only just had time to give it a thorough workout. Everything works, all metering seems accurate, the transport runs well...except these things: a) Track 1 records but playback volume oscillates between normal volume and lower volume. It kind...

    Tascam TSR 8

    I see one of these in my city for about US$970 apparently in decent full working order + 9 tapes...or tape reels, not sure. I think 9 tapes. You reckon that's a silly price, ok or what? I've read some pros and cons of these units. What are your thoughts? Thanks

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    I bought this guitar in 2009 or so. To get right to the point...it's full of ugly overtones regardless of the room I play it in. These ugly overtones manifest most brutally when I'm strumming chords around the first 3 frets. Like I'll play Am to G to C or something and there'll be this horrible...

    Identify this guitar pick

    Can anyone identify this guitar pick? All markings are gone. I can't remember where I got it, but have had it about 10 years I suppose. It's roughly 1mm thick, maybe like 1.1mm and the grip...the grey area seems to be some kind of cross between super fine sandpaper, graphite and that stuff they...

    Perceived Volume

    I've done measurements of pro songs and some of my songs in terms of RMS value...the average volume/ level of the song. I've measured some of my songs to be -12db RMS for example and then measured some pro songs that are -15db RMS....and the pro songs sound effortlessly louder than mine. I'm not...
