    How To Record Electronic Drums On My DP-24SD

    Hello to all. I have been a member of this forum since 2012 but this is my first time, I think, posting in this forum. I recently purchased a DP-24SD, I was using a 244 before this, and am considering purchasing an electronic drum kit. I would like to have a traditional kit but my wife would...

    It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times

    Today for me is the best of times because I ordered a new bass guitar. I am quite happy about that and am looking forward to playing it. It has been 47 years since I last had a bass guitar. It is the worst of times for me because yesterday I had an appointment with my V.A. doctor and he...

    I finally got a new bass guitar

    It has been 47 years since I have had a bass guitar to play. It was a Black Jack violin bass and my brother had the matching 12 string guitar. The year was 1968 and was the only time my brother and I were in a band together. Well, this evening I order a new bass from Sweetwater. I know that...

    Will a Condensor Mike Work on My Tascam 244?

    I have finally reached the point where I am not scared to try recording on my 244. I haven't recorded on it since 1986 for fear of failure. I know that sounds stupid, but it is what it is. I have been trying to work up the courage since I joined HR in 2012. Now that I am ready, I don't know...

    TDK High Bias TypeII cassette tapes

    Today I went with my wife to our local Habitat for Humanity Resupply store. She had household items on her mind, my mind was a pleasant blank. I realize that this is an insignificant find but for me, to whom this never happens, it was epic. I saw lying on a table an unopened two pack of 110...

    It snowed!

    Here is south central Kentucky we got around 12" of the white stuff with about 1/8" of ice under it. It started on Thursday, then Thursday night/Friday morning we had freezing rain and sleet. When we got up Friday morning our front door was frozen shut. Then it snowed and snowed. I know some...

    What is the best microphone to use for low brass?

    What is the best microphone to use for recording low brass, a euphonium to be precise? What would work better, a dynamic or condenser? If the answer is a condenser, should it be a small diaphragm or large diaphragm? I'm soooo confused.

    I Just Picked Up My First Fender Amp

    I just got my first Fender amp. It looked like it came out of the Dust Bowl. It was filthy, and all the pots and the power switch were scratchy. I completely disassembled it, cleaned it inside and out and used contact cleaner quite liberally on the electronics, it looks and sound brand new...

    Ymamha CP30

    Hey guys, I just picked up a Yamaha CP30. The price was right, free, and everything works on it. Does anyone have any experience with this keyboard? I know it is not even close the the same level of the Fender Rhodes, but as I mentioned, FREE.

    Click Track Virgin

    For the past three years I have read many threads extolling the virtues of the click track. This evening I finally decided to try it. I first recorded my metronome at 120 bpm with a one measure count. This procedure went okay, I mean how hard is it to record a metronome. I then proceeded to...

    The first song I ever wrote. (1971)

    This song is very simple, a bit morose, not quite stream of consciousness. It was how I was feeling at the time. The melody pretty much matches the mood of the lyrics. Believe it or not, back in 1971 whenever we played this song, as soon as we started the audience recognized it and would...

    Hammerjammer-What next?

    I can see this product being useful for someone with limited right hand (or left hand if you are a lefty) mobility, but for the rest of it why not just learn to play the guitar. I didn't hear anything in this video that can't be done without the Hammerjammer...

    Why doesn't this stuff ever happen to me? My wife and daughter went down to Atlanta this weekend to visit my wife's sister. While down there my sister-in-law gave my daughter her Martin guitar that she couldn't play any more because of her arthritis. Sure, its a MIM Martin, but still....
