What's the best (or a good) way to clean scratchy pots? I've got an old Yamaha MT120 that would still be useful if the faders, gain faders and pan pots weren't all dusty and scratchy. Everything else on it works more or less perfectly. My pal (who half owns it) needs to use it for the first time...

(Granted, Tull was not this heavy... :D ) What are y'all's favorite/preferred/usual way of panning guitar tracks for aggressive music? Do you hard-pan left and right? Or pan maybe 75% each way? A combination of both, to make each guitar "wider"? For metal, hard rock, whatever. On "Sewn Mouth...

Sometimes, when I apply a low shelf to a file to reduce the super-low and inaudible bass, the height of the file's peaks increase. Occasionally this will even cause clipping. Why does this happen? It's counterintuitive to remove frequencies and have the whole thing get louder--*seem* louder I...

I'm currently running a 16-bit setup. The quality of my stuff does not yet merit jumping to 24 bit. :D I have previously recorded at 44.1 kHz. I am upgrading my stuff in a piecemeal fashion, and I haven't gotten to the PC yet. My question is: Considering that I'm all 16-bit--effects and all--is...

I've never used MIDI, but would like to use some of the samples in my card for upcoming projects. Is it possible to record (or in the worst case, export) sampled sound to a .wav without running a line out and then back in (lossy)? Or can one recommend a cheap/shareware/freeware MIDI sequencer?

Anybody know where I could get a case (hard or soft gig) for an Ibanez X-Series bass... it's the pointy, gods-of-heavy-metal-styled type, just over four feet long from tip to tip. The point on the headstock could kill people (though I prefer the sound to do that :) ). I bought it used a few...

1) I'm looking to buy my first real mic. (I won't list my current mics or other gear--it's all crap and you'd laugh.) From what I gather, I'd be best served by dropping the very reasonable sum of $80 or so on the venerable SM57. At the same time, I fondly recall the surprising sound I used to...
