Reviews haven't been all that helpful, can someone summarize the difference between these guitars in the RG series and which ones go for higher prices? 7321 7420/7421 7620/7621 the 7321 seems to be the latest model, but i hear people favouring the 7620..

I've asked this on forums but not really gotten any solid figures.. I'm looking for an Ibanez RG7321, which aren't exactly in abundance on Australian shores. The lowest price i've found is AUS$786 + maybe shipping, which got me looking to overseas where they retail on average for us$380 +...

Hi there, this seemed like the best forum to shove this in. I'm looking for some suggestions for some must have books related to music theory. I'm specifically looking for books that go above and beyond the same old major theory & cliche progressions, and delve into how resolutions and such...

Hey there people, a bit of a guitar newbie here.. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what amp/FX are best used to replicate the guitar tone in the following clip.. the song is 'A Darkness Coming' by Katatonia. http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0R2QFUACA4Y8P1569PULFZA6EU (the lead on the...

I'm noticing a pattern which i'm not particularily liking.. I can't help composing in C major.. those white keys are just too tempting. Anyone have any suggestions for switching over to the other keys, and do you personally feel a different mood/emotion associated with any particular keys...

Hi there, i just have a quick question.. I'll use these tabs as an example. http://www.e-chords.com/cifra.asp?idMusica=16076&keyb=true&aba=2 (Down So Long by Jewel) If you scroll down to the bottom you can see all the chords used, however.. I still don't understand the logic behind chords...

I recently purchased a yamaha DGX-205, I have no troubles getting it to insert midi data into most programs.. but the problem is, I want to record the actual sound from the keyboard, not have to replace it with crappy samples. What are the basics that i'm probably overlooking? I'd like to just...

Does anyone have a good source that gives a rough idea of which chords in different keys trigger certain aural emotions? Can certain scales act in the same way, or is this mostly associated with harmonies? thanks :)

eek, well it was after midnight and I had an urge to make a dodgy trance song.. what do you think? http://www.audiostreet.net/artists/006/020/song_pleasure_after_midnight.html pleasure after midnight is very cheesy yes, but it has to do with some hilarious electronic vocals I had decided to...

Hey there.. I'm curious if any of you's know of any good online resources or courses on the subject of song structuring. My current problem is that I manage to make a whole heap of crap but can never put it into order as I'm basically clueless on the fundamentals of structuring songs. (how to...

Well hello there :) This is the first time I've decided to post one of my works- I started making music just a little over a year ago and have fallen in love with all things Electronic. Up until now I've only ever really collaborated with a friend and let them listen to it, I really think a...

Hey there, I'm wondering how do you achieve that synth vocal effect that 80's popstars mostly used (kylie minogue - locomotion) is a good example of it. I'm somewhat clueless but im sure you all recognise it...

Ok heres the problem.. I just got a new computer and microphone (Shure PG57) And when i try to record i get a constant fuzzy crackling in the background.. now this is weird, because on my old computer i tried this mic and it sounded perfectly fine. And when i plug in my dodgy old $10 mic it...
