I've been trying to find ear plugs for use at band practice. I've tried MANY....all for professional musicians....even a custom set....but they all do the same thing. They do cut down the db's and some are better than others at maintaining fidelity across the frequencies but let's face...

I just bought a used Epiphone SG G400. I never owned an SG before or even ever played one....not even in a music store...for some reason. I noticed that it's neck heavy (neck dive). That's not a big deal for me as I have another guitar that does the same thing. What I really didn't like was...

So...our band moved to a smaller rehearsal studio. It's not ideal for sound in any way but that's not my main issue. I need some advice on the best ear plugs you guys have used. I already have some tinnitus and I need to avoid further damage. I know there are custom fit plugs out there and...

We're moving from Fl to NJ in early January. The wife's sister in NJ had a stroke and...well....family comes first right? We're retired and have lived there before (20 years ago) so it's not that big a deal for us. I'm going to be making custom shipping boxes for all my guitars. The guitars...

Another dumb one from me. I'm changing the covers on a set of humbuckers from chrome to black. No big deal. De-soldered the covers and carefully removed them. The pups are, of course, completely wax filled on the sides all around and the wax is still intact and it will stay on when I put the...

I just realized that I lost the control surface function on my Zoom R16 on my Win7 64 laptop. I use Reaper as my DAW and was always able to use the R16 control surface functions. The R16 still works fine as an AI. All controls in Reaper work but when I go to Control/OSC/web in Reaper...

I recent Strat type build I did had a weird sound problem. It had a sort of "acoustic overtone" in every switch position. I thought it might be the pups I chose so I changed them and the problem really didn't get solved. I had locked down the trem / bridge with 5 springs and by screwing the...

I'm looking for some advice on getting a "plug-on" wireless mic system. A plug in transmitter for the mic and a receiver to plug into the PA. Anyone using one? Will be using it live mostly and will be plugging it into either Sennheiser E935 or a Shure SM57. Not looking to spend a...

Hey everyone......I got some AKG K371 cans not too long ago and have been using them since. I had an Amazon gift card and since I've sort of become a headphone junkie....I looked over some reviews and these jumped out at me. While I was IMMEDIATELY impressed the moment I put them on.....I...

Ok...here's the deal. I've been using Monster Cables for some years now. That's the only brand I have. To be honest man.....they really seem to take a beating but.....I hate them because they're so damn stiff and unwieldy. Nit picky right? Well....I did accidentally break one.....my...

Here's something I've noticed and would like to understand better. When I listen via my Denon amp...my Sony amp...my Tascam DP24 recorder....and my Zoom R16 AI....using each of their headphone outputs....each one has a slightly different sound for sure. I use a number of headphones....Senn...

Hi guys...I have a box full of old recorded Tascam 388 tapes / masters and the 388 is long gone. What a great machine that was though when it was new. Anyway...I know the 388 tapes are 8 tracks on a quarter inch format. I never wondered before...but is there a machine...other than a...

I used to know tons of covers (lyrics and chords) by memory.....but in recent years I really don't play live much....except for some fill in stints etc....etc. Not playing regularly it's easy to forget lyrics and chords here and there. Yup.....I know....getting older doesn't help either. I...

OK...pardon the question....but.....is there any way to make notes in Reaper? You know....like the old track sheets we used to use? (I last used them with my DP-24) I guess you could tell me to keep making track sheets but since most settings and effects used on tracks in Reaper are...

Ok.....in the category of almost dumb questions.......got one for you. I have a sub that I'm going to add to one of my sets of monitors. The monitors are awesome but only go down to around 60-63hz accurately.....according to their specs. I've had the sub for a while and it's fine except that...

Ok....what model Gibson is the girl on the left playing? It strikes me as a small 335 of some sort? I'm stumped. YouTube

For years now I've used Dire Strait's "Sultans Of Swing" and Van Morrison's "Moondance" as two of my most go to tracks I use as sort of reference songs when mixing some of my projects. I have a few others as well. As many of you have written......it's a good idea to have a song you can use as...

So....I've been using the Sonarworks Reference 4 Headphone VST for about 3 months now and I thought it might be of some interest to a few of you here to get my impressions of how it works. First of all......I have to say....I like it and I'm impressed...to be honest. I bought it because I use...

Just picked up a 1 year old Epiphone LP Studio for $75. Not a scratch on it....straight bolt on neck....controls are fine.....excellent feel and light weight. That's all you can say good about it. The tuners are terrible. A couple of them feel almost stuck. The pickups are terrible. They...

An old pal of mine recently found a number of reel to reel tapes of our old band music from back in the 70's. They're quarter inch tapes originally recorded on a Sony sound on sound machine. We're currently looking for a cheap reel to reel to play these tapes on so we can archive whatever...
