I have a digital 8 track recorder, a few cables, an SM-58, crappy headphones, and when all is said and done I transfer to my computer to burn to a CD. It is mostly guitar, bass and vocals being put down, but what do I need to make my recordings better? As a whole, the recordings are very...

I'm looking at the Boss ME-50 for my guitar setup, I have read some of the reviews on Harmony Central, some people really love it, some hate it. Mainly I'm going for the distortion and modulation effects, I have a Line 6 DL-4, so the delay section isn't important. It has 22 different types of...

I was doing a little amp research and found out that the company Rivera sells powered subwoofers for guitar setups, you'd just plug them in thru the lineout on an amp. Has anyone tried this? I am trying to individualize my sound and wonder if this could be an option.

Yo, everyone, I'm thinking about putting on a thicker guage string on my strat, and I know you might have to adjust the action for them because of fret buzzing (this isn't one of those crybaby questions, I don't think). So my question is, is there any rule of thumb in setting action? Is there...

Yo, looking to see what people think of the Korg electribes. I don't really want an all out synth, but more of a drum machine that allows you to edit the sound you get by "tweaking" different parameters. I want something more techno-ish than something that sounds like regular drums. Are these...

Yo everyone, I must be a real newb, I know what it means to mix (somewhat), but what is mastering? I know it's one of that last steps in finishing a recording, but thats about all i know.

Yo, I've been experimenting with my guitar and amp trying to get different sounds, and I got to where I wanted to create some feedback from the amp that would go with soloing. Just strike a note, let it sustain, and get some really pale feedback is what I'm after. If any of you have ever seen...

Yo everyone, Soon I will be building a new PC for recording probably with a Delta 66. I was thinking about buying the Mackie 1202 for the mic pre's. My question is, is there anyway to just not use the EQ's on the mixer? I would like to just use the EQ's built into the computer software for...

I have always wondered how a single guitar can be hooked up into more than one amp at a time. I mostly noticed this at concerts that I have been to, most recently was Tool, I read an interview that Adam Jones uses one particular amp to take care of the lows, and two other amps for the mids and...

Yo, I will be building a new computer soon for recording and for day to day computer tasks, also a little gaming. I will probably buy a single 19" monitor for now, but I want to leave room to get another 19" if recording on the single 19" gets cluttered. I have heard about the Matrox G450 that...

I'm planning on building a new PC out of scratch for recording and for other things such as internet and mp3s. The soundcard I am planning to install would be the Delta 66, do I need to install another soundcard for listening to mp3s or can I use the Delta? If so, how do I configure my...

I'm looking to buy a pair of monitors and I was wondering what the advantages would be if I got passive monitors with an amp, or active monitors with no amp. Why is one choice better than the other? My budget is around $500-$600. Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking about turning my home pc into a small recording console for my music and was talking to a friend about which recording software I should buy. He said, "Buy? Why spend $599.99 on that expensive software when you can download it from gnutella for free?" Then pops up the moral dilema...

I'm just recently starting to get into the whole home recording thing, could anyone recommend a mic that I could use to mic my guitar amp and also possibly use for recording vocals? Or is it just a better idea to have a mic for my amp and one I use to sing with? Thanks.

If you pull samples off of copywritten music and create beats and what not with those samples, can you be sued?
