i know djs are the backbone of the movement, but i'm a drummer/bassist/guitarist trying to put together a hip-hop band. i love the roots, j swift, jay dee, etc., and i never miss gin kru when they come to town. what else should i hear in the way of organic hip-hop? thanks...

hey, y'all-- i wanna turn a few (dozen) of my instruments and amps into money and space. i'm missing quite a few knobs, or rubber nipples for slider pots, or just that handy decal that tells you if your reverb knob's at 1 or 11. online searches for "knobs" have turned up furniture handles, or...

hey, all-- i have a white MXR "micro amp" guitar pedal with only a GAIN control. i keep it in my bass case with a cord and headphones, so i can practice anywhere. all it does is jack up the signal--would this work as a decent preamp? also have a bigass peavey XR 600E powered mixer, with 6...

hey, all-- i used to know this awesome lefty drummer whom i can no longer contact. the man's a brain--he sets up his kit like a right-hander, but with the ride next to his left hand (l to r: ride, hh, snare). the efficiency of motion was great to watch. he also explained something about mixing...

first of all, i'm no gear snob. i've got a humble $300 aria pro II fretless--it sounds clean, stays in tune, and i have chops. when i see some dork with a $1000 6-string bass onstage, i'm generally reminded of a "$10 haircut on a $2 head." i still have my first fretless. somebody'd yanked the...

hello, all-- my basic problem is lack of computer knowledge. i have a homemade computer--a good one made by a friend. i have windows 2000, cool edit pro, and creative recorder. i'm struggling to teach myself. this thing's getting slower and slower, and i need to throw some files out. but i've...

i play guitar, bass, & drums. also have a shitload of effects and synths, but i try to make organic music that sounds like electronically generated stuff. (think of portishead, the roots, etc.). anyone out there having success with organic hip-hop on a 4-track? i don't know how to use my...

i bought this japanese 60's tempro kit from the starvation army. cheap. real cheap. i like the pink/purple woodgrain on the wooden snare. as a gaijin, i don't like reaching over my knees (i'm 6'3) to hit the floor tom. but i like the tubs otherwise. any comments?

hi, all-- i have 2 radio shack PZMs i bought from some Indiana U. audio-tech guys. they'e obviously older (the mics), but how do i know they're Crowns? i'm short on money, but not brains or time. can i--with plywood, duct tape, and patience--use PZMs to mic my tubs on a 4trac? the only...

hello, all-- just joined, and i have scads of questions! bought an OPCODE STUDIO 64X at starvation army--my first midi controller. my windows 2000 would use it if i had its manual (or a clue--i'm a musician, not a knob-twiddler). manuals i saw online meant buying Stuffit software, or...
