    cd recording help

    Okay, I'm probably going to get nailed for this, but I have to ask it anyway. I have the following, a pentium 350megahertz etc computer. Its pretty new, tons of room and fast. I record on a Roland VS-880 and I recently acquired a hewlett packard cd burner (the 8210e.) I understand how to get my...

    Fender Amplifiers

    Thanks for the advice everybody, I appreciate it. I'm still undecided on what to do, but I know for sure I am selling the Marshall. I'll go down to the music shop and try out a bunch of different amps. Or maybe I'll just crack and buy the rickenbacker I always wanted......

    Fender Amplifiers

    Thanks Jim. I'm slightly reluctant to buy another tube amp, and I am thrilled with the Princeton Chorus, it just isnt quite loud enough. I mean, for most shows, its miked anyway, so its not a big deal, but occasionally I'd like some more power without losing clarity. I dont use distortion (or if...

    Fender Amplifiers

    I was just wondering if someone could make me some recommendations. I have a Fender Princeton Chorus Amp (1995, I think) and a Marshall JCM2000. The marshall had to go in the shop so I've been using the Princeton Chorus reguarly for the first time in about a year. And I fell in love with it...

    Breaking guitar strings? setting up a guitar?

    I've been using D'Addario .10's for as long as I have been playing the guitar (about 7 years). If I knew that they were definitely the problem I would change them, but otherwise, I really rather wouldn't. I'm sure the problem is something related to the bridge. We played a show last night and I...

    Breaking guitar strings? setting up a guitar?

    Thanks guys. I'll look into everything. We have a show tonight in the city (NY), and I hate having the feeling I'm going to break a string, constantly in the back of my head.

    Breaking guitar strings? setting up a guitar?

    The string consistantly breaks at the saddle. My style of play is a tad agressive live, but I usually dont do any heavy bending or anything. Its strange, because I didnt break more than 5 strings a year for about 5 years, and now all of a sudden, I cant stop snapping this string. I figured that...

    Breaking guitar strings? setting up a guitar?

    Since I dont have work today, I figured I'd ask a question about string breaking, which is somewhat nagging me. I have a telecaster which a little over 1 year old. I have never taken it in to get setup. And I have never had a problem with it. Until recently. For about the last month, I am...

    Guitar cabinet recording. Please help!

    I've actually been experimenting today with going directly into the recorder and by hooking up an eq pedal, I can get a decent sound. Not a lot of power, though, but it sounds better than the cabinet does with a mic. However, I love the sound of my setup when its clicking on all cylinders, and...

    Guitar cabinet recording. Please help!

    Maybe my mic placement is off. I used to have an analog tascam and a princeton chorus amp and never had any real problems getting a good sound with a mic or going direct. But I'm now using my drummers digital machine and the marshall, and things just arent the same. I'll still mess around with...

    Guitar cabinet recording. Please help!

    Hi. I am having some really frustrating recording problems, and I would be really indebted to anyone who can help me out. I have a Marshall 4X12 (w/a JCM2000 head), and am attempting to record it to a Roland Digital Recorder (the VS-880). My band is kind of like REM, and I dont use a distorted...
