Time to upgrade my DAW! I haven't recorded anything for a year or two. I have been using my Boss looper pedal to capture ideas, but it's time to make good on some of the material. I play guitar and sing a little. Like many here, I am a solo operator - so never needed more that two inputs...

Shure KSM27 $199 at MF and Sweetwater. Are these being discontinued? Would this be much of an upgade from my AT3035 for vocals and acoustic guitar? Thanks, mcmd

Hi, I bought this Fender acoustic guitar yesterday from MF and I should have it in about a week. It is a solid wood guitar (cedar top, Ovangkol body) for $399. I think that it is a good deal and it may be just what some people are looking for. I have had good luck buying electrics from MF and...

Hi, I recently bought a 410CE :). I plan on recording direct and also micing the guitar....does anyone know whether the ES system will have a problem if the phantom power is active on the pre-amp? Thanks, mcmd

Hi everybody, Short track of an acoustic guitar idea that I am working on. I am interested in hearing your mix comments and any ideas for improvement. Some things I noticed in my car stereo: the bass is either too loud or too muddy and there are some timing issues.....what do you think...

Hi everyone, I put this tune together on Saturday morning - let me know what you think. All comments welcome. I was trying to achieve some depth and space. How is the bass guitar sound? Link: (Out of) Control http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=696386 Thanks for listening...

Hi everyone, Rock guitar instrumental in need of some ears... How is the bass? How are the guitar levels? The guitar fxs now sound way too wet on the mp3 compared to the original wav :confused: The song is 'Passing thru'... Link http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1944&alid=-1...

Hi, Does anybody have a link that compares the features of Sonar Studio to Home Studio XL? I just got a keyboard and my GTPro 3 does not sequence midi. Home studio XL is $79 ungrade and looks like it has what I need for basic tracking and mixing. What do you recommend I switch to? Thanks, mcmd

Hi, I have a nice hot rod MIA p-bass - about 3 years old. I only play it about once a month when I need to record a bass track. I have never changed the strings! So what strings would you recommend that I use that will last a good while ( and sound good). I play blues/rock guitar (I'm not a...

Hi, My son is starting piano lessons. The teacher recommends spending $200+. I don't play piano/keys, however I would like to get something that I could also use in my studio and add some ambiance to my guitar tracks - piano, Rhodes, strings etc. I can probably spend up to $500. What do to...

Hi everyone, Here’s another rock guitar instrumental for critique. The tune started off very different and morphed into this one – working title is: ‘(hear me) Roar’! First, the mix level is very low. The recorded peak waveform on the tracks was good, but I had to pull down the faders during...

Hi, I am currently running Guitar Tracks Pro 3. I can upgrade to Sonar 6 studio for $149 - is it worth it? I am primarily interested in the SONAR engine - is it significantly better than Guitar Studio? Thanks, mcmd

Hi, I have 2 mic pres that I want to wire into my patchbay – Joemeek VC3Q and an M-audio DMP3. The problem with either is that if I connect the ¼ input and the XLR input, then the XLR input is disconnected. So I would have to directly connect and disconnect to the inputs at the back of the...

Hi all, Recorded a short tune over the weekend...it's a guitar instrumental....I am interested in any comments you may have..... I normally mic my amps, but it was late Sunday and my kids were home in bed, so I just went (gulp) DI into my DMP3......what do you think? Thanks in advance, Dara...

I need to use some compression when recording acoustic guitar and clean electric guitar. My strumming technique is a little percussive - where I pluck 4 – 5 strings simultaneously. Hi, I use the DMP3 with a small selection of mics: peavey PVM380, Shure KSM 109 Shure SM57 and AT 3035. I also...

I have noticed that when I record one of my amps that I hear distortion on some of the notes (transients). A review of the waveform shows that there is no clipping and still plenty of headroom. So it seems that I am overloading the microphone. I have tried two small condensers (Shure KSM 109...
