Regarding the use of iTunes/iPods - if I recall correctly, they have something called "soundcheck" or similar, which is meant to set all the tracks you sync across to the same volume level. If I'm not talking out of my hat about this, could this actually help those of us who don't want to smash...

That's great, thanks Alan you've been really helpful. :)

Wow, thanks Alan what a tremendous reply! That all looks nice and compact, I'm familiar with Behringer's gear, a bit cheap and cheerful but it always looks rugged enough. One question though, I've noticed the DI box has a ground lift switch, wouldn't this make the hum cancelling box redundant?

Hi all, Quick one - I've got a macbook which I'm planning on using with my live band for sequencing/percussion etc. I need some kind of interface/cable so I can get the audio out from either the USB or headphone outputs to 2 x 1/4inch jacks, which will go into stage DI boxes for left and right...

Haha brilliant! I think you've cracked it!

Hey thanks for the feedback guys, not sure how scientifically accurate it is, but I did try to keep it educational! Hearing you regarding the kick drum sound, and I think I'm going to rework the lyrics to the second verse, but you were bang on, I was going for an 80s new wave/PiL kind of feel.

I've got ongoing research documented here: http://www.thesoundofglass.com But any help you can give would be gratefully received.

If you like it dark, and a bit strange - but still with hooks: http://www.myspace.com/thesoundofglass

Hello all. Could you have a listen to this and let me know what you think, both mixing and songcraft/arrangement etc? It's a song about prions. http://www.thesoundofglass.com/first_navigation_kit/prion.mp3 Thanks!

That's great, thanks for the reply. I think I'm definitely going down the miniDV/firewire route after having done some more reading, seems to be plenty of choice in the < £200 market.

Hi all, I want to get into making short abstract films/montages to go along with my music, so I want to buy a cheap (around £150) camcorder to start recording footage. I don't need anything fancy as it's mostly going on the web anyway, but I'm a bit bewildered about the choice available, all...

My goodness, that looks incredible! Without sounding old, how technology has come on in the past few years! Thanks for the link, chap.

Hi guys, hope this question isn't too dumb - I'm feeling a bit out of my depth! Basically, I'm forming a new band where I'm planning on moving from guitar/vocals to synth/vocals, although the synth parts are mainly one-finger drone notes, melody lines to accompany guitar lines, that kind of...

Well, thanks for an interesting take on the other side of the argument! I've got an MM4 as well (love that too) but that's been behaving oddly as well... After taking my DL4 to bits yesterday and putting it back together (no obvious problems I could see) it still selected the wrong preset when...

I've heard good things about the maxon units - thanks, I shall investigate!

Been looking at an EH Memory Man, and kind-of auditioning it using the DL4s modeling of it - quite like it, are the new reissues built to last?

For my money, no Marshall past the 800 has been worth diddly, they just get fizzier and more lightweight, and more full of stupid gimmicks (probably in response to musical trends). I've got a 50w Engl combo - low powered valve amps are the greatest, because you can drive them really hard and...

Hi all, I've had a Line6 DL4 delay modeler for about a year, but true to form it's crapped out - this seems like a common thing with the Line6 gear - sounds good, but it's not terribly well made. If I can't fix it, I'm looking to get a replacement delay unit - does anyone have any suggestions...

Thanks guys - got myself a universal rack shelf which should do the trick!

OK possibly stupid question, but I've got a couple of 1/3 rackspace bits of gear (firebox and RNC) that I'd like to get off my desk and into the rack under it. Is there something out there specifically made to hold them in place, or should I just get a rack shelf and velcro them on it?
