So I've heard the clean tones on the DSL100 are pretty good as far as Marshall goes. I think the DSL100 is probably the amp I want to buy, but I can't really go test it out anywhere because none of my local music stores stock them anymore. I did, however, have the chance to test out a MA100H at...

This is a small, passive (not powered) two channel true bypass loop. It's been gently used on my pedal board for a couple years, but is in excellent like-new condition and will ship in its original box. I'll sell for $70 including shipping via USPS to entire USA. I'll ship international but...

Hey guys. I'm currently in the market for my first tube amp. After going to Guitar Center and testing out numerous combos, I've decided I like the Mesa Express 5:50 the best. I'm now prepared to purchase a used 5:50, but I have one final decision to make. I can get the 1x12 version of the 5:50...

I currently have a Focusrite Pro 40 and am looking into adding 8 more channels by chaining another interface via ADAT or Firewire and I have a few questions: Which is generally the better method for chaining two interfaces: ADAT or Firewire? Would I run into clocking/sync problems if I chained...

Hey Chris, Do you have any advice for those looking to get a job in the professional audio world and eventually work their way up to being in a career position such as you are in? What steps did you take to get to where you are today?

I remember a while ago somebody here recommended some mixing "tutorials" that were basically screencasts of mixing engineers taking their songs from start to finish. I believe these tutorial videos sold for about $50 each and were quite long in duration... I can't seem to remember the...

I know next to nothing about acoustic treatment so I'm hoping somebody here can help me come up with a good treatment plan for my room. I'm in a bedroom studio that measures 11 x 9 feet, however, we're going to be remodeling soon and will end up moving a wall (the right wall in the diagram...

Lately I've been struggling to get a good headphone monitoring situation for tracking vocals. I can sing a lot better when I set up some speakers in front of me and play the backing tracks out loud to sing to, but then I have to deal with bleed and whatnot. So I feel like the reason I can't seem...

Just watch it all the way through. You won't regret it.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to get the intro effect to Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden? It's the effect about five seconds into the video below. We're looking to pull this off live... is it possible?

At about 17 seconds into this song there is the sound of an organ "winding up". How do I get that sound? Is it just a sample I have to find somewhere? I got close with simulating a tape winding up at the beginning of my organ track, but I am not quite there yet.

So I'm buying a new external hard drive to record to/save projects to. What speed should I look for in order to avoid problems/slowness while recording/mixing? Also, will firewire 400 be sufficient even though I already have my interface on the same firewire bus?

These guitars are really hard to find! Does anybody have one they'd like to sell? I've found a few online, but I'd like to check here before buying elsewhere.

This song is just going to be used for an internet video, so it doesn't have to be perfect, but I'd like it to sound pretty good. I know the vocal recording isn't super great throughout the whole song, but it'll have to do. Please let me know anywhere I can improve. Also, please tell me how you...

So I'm in the process of mixing a reggae/rock type song and I'm struggling to get a good, "finished" sound with the drum recordings I'm working with. I don't have much experience mixing live drums and I'd appreciate it if somebody could listen to these tracks and possibly recommend some settings...

So I just got my Pro 40 today and I have a quick question. This being my first FireWire interface, I'm trying to be very aware of accidental hot swapping. I understand the computer must be shut off before plugging or unplugging the FireWire cable, but does the Pro 40 need to be turned off when I...

I know these are extremely different mics, but which would you choose to use two of for drum overheads if these were your only choices, and why? Consider you are recording in an untreated basement.

I'm selling a used Focusrite Saffire 6 USB. The device shows no signs of wear and functions perfectly. I have only had it for a few months and am selling to upgrade. It comes with a USB cable, the Xcite+ Pack (includes Loopmasters and Bass Station), the Live Lite 8 disk, the driver installation...

Does anybody know any information about publishing music that includes samples from commercial virtual instrument libraries? For example, say I wanted to publish a song that I used a piano software instrument from Logic in. I legally own my copy of Logic, so should I have any legal problems...
