A good book of scales and modes for guitar. Not just a bunch of licks or speed execerises. I'm looking for something to show me what I'm playing, not how to play it.

How hard are these things to put together? Do they come with instructions. I know there are some posters that have these so fill me in: what paints did you use? How long did it take you to put it together and can anyone do it?

I'm working on a project where I had a loud singer. I had her properly compressed (so I thought) and the meters never hit the red. However when I got back into my studio and played it back it sounds a bit destrorted when she goes to the higher notes. I know I should have been checking the...

Did some recording with a friend who plays a 6 string bass and sets his amps so the low end comes out strong. On the recordings the bass gets lost in the mix and turns to mud. I’ve tried to EQ and compress it so that it will bring it up, but the bass player really demands that the bass be...

I was recording my band this weekend. Out of 8 tracks only 3 didn't have an place or two where it sounded like the band skipped ahead a half a beat. When I tried to play a click track or put in a drum look it would still cut out and then come back in off the beat. Latency???? Buffers...

I’m starting my first real outside project next month. For demo’s I’ve been getting by with a Behringer B1 and AT2020 for vocals and guitar. I’m looking for a good overall condenser mic to handle lead and backing vocals (male “rocker” voice and female) and guitars. (12 and 6 string) I’ve done a...

Greetings and Salutations I’ve been recording a demo for a band that is turning out better than expected. The band now wants to release it into stores. What is troubling me is that there are a few “covers” on the disc. Granted they put their own spin on it but that isn’t the question. The...

Hey just wanted to know if anyone uses the frequency splitter tool on Adobe Audition. If so what do you do to add spice to your tracks? Reverb? Delay? I’ve done it a few times and it makes some of the tracks sparkle, but it also adds a little too much low end and seems to take away from the...

Quick question. I've started using my firepod to record with. On the mics the levels are coming in really low despite the fact I have the gain and inputs turned just about all the way up. When I record line in the levels are fine. Any tips?

I'm having a problem burning CD's and then playing them back on the car stereo. It usually takes 15-20 seconds before the CD reads the track and then it starts playing. It also does the same thing with my music match downloads. I used to have some no name CD's that I didn't have this problem...

I just ordered the Presonus firepod with Cubase LE. I already use Adobe Audition but I’ve heard so many good things about Cubase and the software is coming free of charge I might as well give it a spin. Can any of you Cubase experts tell me what I should expect as far as 1. The Learning Curve...

Putting in your own pickups I’m sure someone has posted something on this before, but I can’t find it. I’m wanting to replace the pickup in a old guitar. What is the degree of difficulty of doing this myself? Is this something most people can do or is it better just to let a pro do it? Thanks

Anyone have or try the Eureka yet? I have some PreSonus equipment and have been pretty satsified with it. But just wanted to know if there was anything better in that $500 - $750.00 price range or if the Eurkea was the real deal.

I’m not sure this is a guitar thread question or a keyboard threat question. I’m looking into getting a Roland guitar synth unit. I talked to a sales associate and he said that most people use Telecasters with the synths. Question is: are the Telecasters the preferred guitar to use with...

I was visiting with a guy who works at a local studio and offered to let me sit in on a mixings session. We were talking about equipment and he said Adobe Audition is good for voiceovers but not for recording instruments. He said I needed to get Sony Vegas if I wanted to get the best...

I've been burning test CD's on AA 1.5. The disks run well on the home stereo and portable CD player. But it skips and stalls in the car stereo. Is this a disk formating problem. Is it the type of disk I'm using (CD-R music only memorex and napster) Thanks in advance

I bought a new pair of monitors yesterday. I got them home, plugged them into the sound card. Now I'm picking up all this buzzing It sounds like it is coming from the computer. Any tips

Greetings, Currently I’m using drum loops from a couple of vendors. I’ve mixed and mastered (to use the term loosely) a few tracks. For some reason the drums always seem to drop into the mix. They’re just as loud, but they seem to get buried behind everything else. Is there a way to bring...

I was reading an interview with Eddie Van Halen about the new tracks he recorded at 5150 for the new disk. His take was if you get the sound right you don’t need to use all the EQ and effects in the mixing and mastering phase. How right on is this? Just wanted to see what the posters takes...

back again I downloaded the drivers and then put the device in the port. The computer froze. After I shut off the computer I put the device back into the port and started up the computer. Black screen. Is thing not compatable with my system? AMD 2500+ chip, 528 memory.
