I sit on my couch playing guitar through my eleven rack with headphones and sometimes I come up with a lick that I would like to be able to remember later. I would like to install a simple, preferably free, program on a crappy little notebook computer that I own, so I can plug my eleven rack...

Lt. Bob mentioned in another thread about issues regarding Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amps and how they may predictably fail (and be easily repaired). I'm thinking about a small, affordable, managable, clean amp that I can use to learn more about pedal tones. I was looking at the Deluxe Reverb...

Hi, I'm trying to get my head around setting up my MIDI studio for the first time. I have a Roland U220 synth module and and Axiom 25 Keyboard. I would like to use the Axiom to record MIDI data, playing the sounds from the U220. Could someone please describe the connections? Do I connect...

New 5w amp, Slash (appetite for coinage) version, two channel EL 34, 12" Celestion V30, digital reverb. Not out yet, due in June. I have the Class 5 and miss that it has no gain stage, but I do have beaucoup stomp boxes I can put in front. Thinking about getting just the head if one comes out to...

More of a brief "in forum" user review than a question. I started with the Avid Eleven Rack and quickly switched over to the Axe FX II for my go-to guitar processor in my micro project studio. I have had good luck using the AF II for a basic input device, it has MIDI connections but no mic...

I'm poking around inside of Pro Tools today to see how different parts work, and going through some old stuff to decide what ideas I had jotted down in sound years ago that I might like to record proper. Here's a bit of a peculiar mix. :facepalm: I recorded this on a Tascam Portastudio about...

I just watched a Youtube Video on one tiny aspect of NI Komplete 8 (making a sound in Absynth 5) and it suddenly hit home just exactly how far I am in over my head. Between this, half a dozen virtual samplers, multiple soft synths, drum modelers, my Stupid 90's Hardware Synth Module + Separate...

I've got some Skull Candy 'Buds, and last night on my smart phone I listened to Donald Fagen's "Morph the Cat." Those things were downright thumpy, the bass was "all there." Wassup with that? :confused: How do those teeny little speakers deliver such great bass? I mean, 4-5" speakers sound like...

I want to cover this song for a project, for learning purposes. If you have experience, please advise as to how this may have been created. There are, in particular, a couple of heavily reverbed & delayed synths at the beginning. I have no idea if it was likely recorded that way or if the...

There are artists and songs that have served as the inspiration to take up this home recording thing again. I mean, I really like EXACTLY what they are doing. Without getting specific as to artists and songs, how can I take their work to heart and use it to inspire my own work? I guess what I...

I'm on programming drums now. Working on my first song, a cover of this: . Help me get the drums right. Here's what I've started with: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/65994164/Keep%20it%20clean%20sample.mp3 I'm working on the first 8 bars right now. I'm using AD here, and I haven't picked out a...

I just figured out how to get Addictive Drums to integrate with my ProTools. For some reason I have been struggling with this stuff. I had been trying to learn to use and integrate Maschine at the same time and I was not making much progress. I finally decided to try Addictive Drums. Today I...

So...whaddyagot? I've been encouraged by this guy: I could see possibly doing it his way...

Let me see. <BRB>

I'm a n00b to digital, I've got protools and a vst plug-in synth track, I made a loop in Maschine, and it could just be my ears, but when I hit play with both running now, it sounds like the Maschine is struggling to hit all the notes, and perhaps the timing is a bit unsteady. I may be...

I'm trying to get the to stage of recording drum sounds into Protools using the Maschine as controller. I set everything up but I must be missing a setting. I can see the levels when I strike the pads, and I can hear the drums, so I know that it is seeing the controller. I can "pencil draw" in...

I am just getting back into home recording and I wanted to quickly and easily record some tones to post up here. I'm still pretty new to this and have been learning to use ProTools but I'm not quite there yet. I turned on the Sony Sound Forge 10 and it took me like 10 minutes to record a quick...

Post and Discuss Guitar Tones! Here's my first contribution. This is not intended as a great guitar tone (it's not); I'm just pointing out an amp / technique characteristic that I was attending to today in the interest of perhaps discussing some of the elements of what makes up (or perhaps...

Loudness War So, I was listening to my original issue vinyl Queen Album; Night at the Opera, and got to thinking about it. With Ipod earbuds taking over, is dynamic range dead once and for all? Is there anything we can do to encourage its survival? I for one don't really see how, most people in...
