The Curbow just came and it looks even more amazing than I imagined. I just wanted a mid-level bass to play on and that I'd like sonically and not have to upgrade for a while. Even though there is only one pickup it has wiring that makes it sound vastly different with the slap switch engaged...

Hi guys. First off I know close to zero about drums but I'd love to get a conga to practice and learn. Aside from fiberglass being more resistant to warping what are the pros and cons to a fiberglass vs. wood drum? Is there a huge difference in sound? I see some pro and high end LP lines using...

I'm seeing less of the SM-58 in live performances which I am happy about because I've always hated the way they sound for vocals and these new black mics sound tons better (less muffled and nasal). And I'm seeing them replaced by all black mics with flattened ball ends (know what I mean?). What...

I know this is called MP3 Clinic but I just wanted to share my recent discovery which may very well be old news to many. OggVorbis is a _stunningly_ better compression technology than MP3 especially at low sampling rates. And it's Open Source which completely gets around the problems of...

I am running out of HD space but I have an over abundance of physical RAM that I never use (2 Gs). Can someone tell me how to make a virtual drive out of a chunk of that memory? I used to know how when I had a 8088 but it was pretty useless then consider total RAM was something like 128k. Thanks.

Hi, I'm relatively new to home reccing especially with microphones (mostly synthesized electronic music in the past). But I do consider myself a pretty careful listener after numerous hours tweaking and noodling over patches. I was recently devirginized in the LD condenser area with the...

I can't quite figure out when the beatmapping function stopped working for me because I used to be able to do it. Not sure if the new video card did it but it still crashes after I put the old card back in. Anyone know how to read error messages? I thought it might be the card because it seems...

Sorry but I couldn't find a better place to post this message. Hope I don't get spanked for this by the seniors here. Just wanted to give others like me the heads up on dealers and see if I was in the wrong. Got two MXL v93s ($145 each) from Music123 a little over a month ago. Admittedly I...

I've read numerous posts about the great value of Chinese and Russian mics here. So I went out and got a couple. They sound pretty good to me so far. But I'm just a wee bit short of having million dollar sound-proofed rooms with racks of gear. Is there some ghetto way to see if the mics are...

I'm a newbie to serious digital recording but I've been a hobbyist for ages. Used to make music with only the Kurzweil K2000 onboard sequencer. But for some time now I've been trying to do research on taking the next big step. With all the packages available and the rapidly changing software...

Hope this doesn't sound too lame and pitiful, but I'm a web and graphic designer who is barely scraping by due to saturation of the field. But until I learn other tricks to earn a living I'm cutting corners where I can. I'd like to learn to play guitar and bass but even E-bay has been too pricey...
