    Anybody wanna hear my new V-Amp?

    I just brought this thing home today so don't expect too much. A couple of these samples are just factory presets, and I must say that this is the first thing I've brought home from the music store in a long time that had any presets worth a darn. I should have done some tweaking with them...

    Marshalls on sale at Mars really cheap.

    Just wanted to mention that I was in Mars yesterday and noticed they have a sale going on right now for Marshall mics. I think it depends on what area you live in as to which model they have on sale but in St. Louis it's the XML V57 (just like the V67 but a different color I think and doesn't...

    Using Revolver to warm things up.

    I could use some input on this: I just got Cakewalk GT Pro which comes with the light version of Revolver. I haven't had time to mess around with it much since I don't play a whole lot of electric guitar these days but I got a chance to horse around for a few minutes this morning. I went...

    A new way to turn CD files into waves!

    I just picked up this tidbit at a SBLive site and I'm not sure if it'll work with other soundcards or not but here's what they have listed: CDFS.VXD: Easy CD Ripping http://alive.singnet.com.sg/download/cdfs.zip What you can do with it: You can access each CD audio track direct from the disc...

    A little Keaggy volume knob trivia

    For anyone that's been wondering what all the hubbub is about Phil Keaggy I thought you might like to hear a small excerpt. It's about 2 ½ minutes of him standing on stage soloing by himself after the band has dropped out. This is the musical section that Steve Morse has referred to as having...

    Ballooning (something different)

    Seems like everyone likes to show what they think is their best stuff on this board. I thought I'd start a new trend. My studio partner and myself had the opportunity to do the background music for a film on ballooning for the Discovery Channel around 10 years ago that unfortunately never saw...

    Some good news about GT Pro

    I've talked to a couple of people now who've made the upgrade from GT2 to GT Pro and all seemed very happy. Supposedly even though it has more tracks there are less drop-out and latency problems. Also if anyone was wondering, those 32 tracks are indeed stereo tracks just like the 8-track version...

    Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro question

    I looked at their website but didn't see anything about this. Does anyone know if the 32 tracks offered with this program are strereo or not? Guitar Tracks 2 has 8 stereo tracks so I would assume it's big brother would be like that too but then again I was surprised to find that the 16 tracks...

    Free space for MP3s?

    Just thought I'd mention that in my ever ongoing quest to find free web hosts that will actually allow you and your friends to upload and download MP3 files (kind of an essential thing to have if you've got a music site, eh?) I actually found a really good deal. The only catch is that it has a...

    APSLIVE 1.84 DRIVER for SB Live--yuck!

    I dunno, maybe it's just me but the latest APS drivers for the SB Live series has been nothing but trouble. The older ones worked pretty well but I'm so unhappy with the 1.84 that I've dumped it altogether and gone back to the original drivers that came with my SB card. I don't use midi so I...

    MP3 icons

    I'm sure there must be a simple way to correct this but I've looked under options menus for both Windows Media Player (my default MP3 player) and CE and neither of them say anything about it. The thing is that whenever I save a file in CE as an MP3 it gives it a CE icon. So if I go into my...

    Anybody wanna hear Marshall's MXL 57M, $100 condenser mic?

    This is a one-inch diaphragm condenser mic from Marshall that sells for a hundred bucks (really, I'm not kidding.) I told Maston in another thread that I'd make a short test of it with vocal and acoustic guitar so he could see what it sounds like. I was a bit too lazy to tune up my guitar this...

    CDR burning: rest time between burns?

    I haven't been burning my own CD's for very long so maybe somebody here can tell me whether or not my CD burner needs any rest-time between burns. If so, how long? Or can I for instance burn 3 or 4 CD's before it needs to rest (or cool off maybe) and then for how long etc? It just seems to me...

    Anyone know a good place to upload MP3s?

    Napster isn't taking new members at the moment and I'm looking for a free server that will let me store MP3s to share with friends (not pirated.) Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Antares Mic Modeler et al.

    Say guys, do any of you know anything about the Antares Mic Modeler? Like how much does it cost? I'm talking about the software version...not the rack mount. Also, are there any other products like it on the market available as directX plug-ins? (preferably cheaper) This is the only software...

    Sorry--it's a cakewalk and SB Live problem (I know)

    Okay, SB Live ain't worth it's weight in pond-scum, I already know that. I've been using Cool Edit 2000 with the 4 track plug-in for doing mixdowns which works great. I haven't used midi for anything and even if I did, I have the ASP driver for my SB card so things ought to stay in sync pretty...

    The Neve Mystique

    I mentioned Neve Consoles in another thread. Until this past year, I had been out of the recording game for 10 years or better so needless to say, I haven’t kept up with things very well. I remember as far back as 1980 or so, a single refurbished channel from an old Neve board was fetching as...

    Using my Zoom gfx-707 'direct'--sounds awful!

    I bought this unit to use 'live' primarilly but I was hoping it would sound reasonably good for going straight to the board at home for practicing and scratch recordings. I've owned 2 previous Zoom units that were made specifically for going direct and they both sounded quite good but the 707...

    Speaker distortion/ Tube distortion?

    I’m just throwin this one out here for the fun of it. I’m 41 and I’m sure that I’m most likely the old buzzard around here so, maybe you young guys with a better set of ears can tell better than me, but anyway, here’s the topic: I grew up playing all those old black face Fender amps, (my first...

    Cakewalk Express

    I have the Express version of Cakewalk which came free with my Soundblaster card. I only use the computer for mixing down with, so I really get by just fine with the software I already have, but just in case I wanted to horse around with a little multi-tracking in the future via computer, does...
