    RAID vs Recording

    I'm in the process of building a new PC to match this awesome Firestudio I just got in the mail. I was thinking of setting up a raid (stripping) for speed, so i got on here searching for clues. Found lots of opinions in regards to mirroring and stripping, but nothing in regards to stability...

    What are phase issues/problems

    When digging around researching some home recording material, or even live audio setups, i keep coming across people talking about phase issues and how to correct them. Pardon my ignorance, but what is this 'phase problem' that seems to be decimating the audio industry? Can it be explained in...

    First Studio - Audio Interface Suggestions

    Originally, i was going to go for one of those package deals from Musicians Friend/Enemy that included an Mbox Mini with Pro Tools LE. But I came here, did some forum searching, and found quite a few people here didn't seem to care for the Mbox products. I mostly wanted it for the Pro Tools, but...

    Tab Downloads

    I'm sure i'm not the only one that's asked this, and I used the search feature but didn't come up with anything. Guitar player here trying to find official tabs. I know i can buy the sheet music, but i'd rather not wait. When you got kids and a sudden moment to practice, i need it now! hahaha...

    Bass Amp Idea's

    In one of my previous threads, I'm all grinning ear to ear about the tube amp I just got. While I was at the store, I asked the guys if the tubes were good, because this would be the first tube amp I ever used, thus... wouldn't have a clue on what to listen for. He says something about the low...

    Need amp tips

    Congratulate me guys! Finally, after 10 long years of putting up with a pile of crap Marshall bottom end solid state piece of sh*t, i FINALLY came across a deal I couldn't pass up. I found a 40 watt Peavy combo XXX with the three channel foot switch thing (programmable, i guess) for $300. Yeah...

    Looking For Compression Advice

    I got a live show coming up, and just picked up a used compressor for $50 that I'd like to try out. It says it's a DOD Compressor/Limiter R-825. Has De-Ess Level and De-Ess Output and De-Ess Button (on/off i assume), Side chain button (don't have a clue what thats about), Ratio, Attack, Release...

    Mic Positioning

    I'm about to buy the Sennheiser e609 for my guitar cab. The pictures i've seen for the mic all look like the user was incorporating a boom stand to position it properly. But a while ago, I thought I've seen photo's where the mic was draped over the amp, just hanging in front of the speaker. Do...

    Guitar Amp Mic Options

    So, in another thread around here, I managed to pick the brains of those helpful wanderers for good recommendations for a guitar amp. I think I'm settling for the Peavy XXX, and the savings plan is underway. In the mean time, lets talk Mics! Someone highly recommended the sure SM57, and while...

    Amp Help

    This might take a while, and everyones input is pretty important, as I live out in the middle of no where, and can't just go down sampling all kinds of cool amps at big stores.... K, currently, I have a 100w solid state marshall, bottom of the barrel, and I'm disgusted with it on just about...

    Mic Gain

    Is there a step by step somewhere that shows how to reach 0 db with a dynamic microphone, without inducing feedback? I don't know if I should be messing with the fader (slider), the gain knob, eq settings, etc. I should also mention that I have a cheap behringer mixer (16 channel), so maybe...

    Looking For Beat Tracks

    I'm looking for some beat tracks, with no lyrics. Something to be used for background music. No... not trying to steal stuff for reproduction. Got a business going, and need some background stuff to fill in the voids. If I knew what it was called, I would google it.... but no luck.

    Learn Guitar?

    Has anyone tried this site - GuitarTricks.com ? I'm signed up under the free membership for now, but looking for anyone else that might have paid access, that can give a review. They have a forum there, but I think I might find a lot of biased opinions. ;)

    All Tubes the Same?

    I got this little crappy, ancient, practice amp, and when I was having some trouble with it, I decided to tear it apart. One of the knobs says 'Tube Gain/Distortion' (or something to that effect). But when I was inside, I didn't see anything that even remotely looked like your standard...

    Guitar Sound = Garbage

    For a while now, I've noticed that the notes up high didn't quite sound right. You could hold a single string, at about the 13th fret or higher, pluck it.... and it sounds like it's out of tune (silly, I know). It sounds like it's all 'wavy', like something is physically out of whack. Well...

    Karaoke Tracks

    Has anyone tried making karaoke tracks with Sonar? Any clue how to do this? (tried the search feature here but it gave me a blank page for some reason)

    Notes Don't Have Power

    Lately in band practice, I've noticed that when I start playing leads, the sound is very low... er should I say, volume seems less than normal. I've got an Ibanez Radius, running a V5 humbucker (i think). Amp EQ is set at max for High, maybe 5-7 for mid, and 3-5 for low. There is a countour...

    Wireless Mic

    I just thought I'd drop this off as a personal review I guess. I help operate a karaoke business, and we happen to use this mic at our shows. (no... there is no affiliate link attached) The sound is really good, and we get practically NO feedback.... unlike our SM58's. :( Don't know if anyone...

    Cab question

    I was dinkin' around on the net the other day when I happen to come accross some Crate cabs for sale. The user reviews were pretty bad. People claiming that they're not loud enough, poor tone, etc. Then it hit me - I happen to have a Crate cab. Could this be 'one' of the serious problems with...
