Hello, I have a new sm7b microphone for vocals (decided that it would be better for a "home" DAW-based studio than a cheapie condenser). I am concerned that the TFPPro mic-pres on the 1820m won't have enough gain? Here are the gain specs on the Pres built-in to the 1820m: "Microphone...

I haven't played acoustic drums in 10 years (I do have a Roland TD6 Kit with some enhancements). Before that, I played for about 15 years in various bands mainly in rock-oriented styles. Although I'm not a spring chicken anymore (let's just say I was in my 20s then), I've got the ITCH to play...

Interesting photo-tour of the ensenada plant. http://reviews.photoweborama.com/allthingsguitar1/fendertour/index.html

I am pleased with my PODXT in many ways and appreciate the tones/options it gives me for silent home recording. However, for some tones, it just doesn't cut it and I realize that. My friend uses an ADA Microcab for his tone for recording and some of his sounds beat the crap out of the PODXT...

Hello, I have a rosewood neck on two of my quitars and now on my new pride-and-joy, my Music Man StingRay bass. I've only recently begun to own rosewood-necked instruments. Is there any additional care this wood requires? I've heard about lemon oil, is that good to use? If so, how...

I've noticed that as one ages the tolerance for middle-of-the-road instruments and compromises seems to decrease. I still buy "bargain" instruments from time to time, but my band days seem so far behind me now that I sometimes find it hard to justify obtaining "quality" instruments when my...

So, when this guy first came out I just figured he was another singer-songwriter "hatboy" dude and I hit the mental "dismiss" button. However, there was a benefit concert on TV the other night with celebrities answering the phone and John came on and did a hendrix tune - damned if I can...

Really bad news... some crazy murdered Dimebag Darrell at the beginning of a gig: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr=&tab=wn&ie=UTF-8&q=dimebag+shooting&btnG=Search+News

Each and every version of Cubase (regardless if you bought it from Steinberg or got it bundled with hardware) comes with at least two manual documents - getting started and a deeper and proper manual. While many questions here are legitimately from people who have made attempts to understand...

Hi, I had never heard of a baritone guitar before this year (been playing, lackidasically, for about 20 years now). Does anyone have any experience with these and could you offer advice on getting one at a budget-range price ($300-$500). It seems a way to get deeper tones with out mushing out...

Hi, I recently picked up a used Yamaha acoustic/electric and had it set up by the shop where I bought it (actually a GC). Anyhow, at first, in the store, it had a problem with F#,G,G# above the 12th fret on the high E where a note would sound dead. I understand this is due to intonation...

Hi, Totally insignificant bit of news here: I was meeting someone here in town (Richmond, Virginia) for coffee at a Starbucks near an office-park kinda deal and who should walk in and get a grande coffee but Ted Nugent. Ted was sporting a safari-style camouflaged hunting cap and a hunting...

Hi, I recently posted here concerning buzz/hum etc. in my MIM Tele (thanks for replies in that thread!). I like this instrument and it sounds good through my POD (I have nothing else at the moment... anyone recommend a decent small amp?) save for the God-awful and incessant buzz.hum. Now, the...

Hi, I picked up a MIM telecaster in March (which is a solid instrument for the price) and am really enjoying it while I can. The stock single-coils sound nice enough to me but this guitar is a buzzy and noisy monster. I have to turn off nearly all the lights to stop the buzz, BUT! I also have...
