I'm doing my mixes through these crappy Nady headphones(yeah, no mixing in headphones) with an insanely hyped high end. I then bring a CD to work to test the mix on my work PC through some $2 Logitech headphones. With my latest batch of songs I've not been able to get rid of the mud. If I use...

So I'm looking for a new guitar. I've never played a newer Ibanez with the Edge tremelo. It struck me as odd that you just stick the bar in the little hole and it stays there. It just flops around too. The sales guy said I didn't want to lock it parallel to the strings. I said, "Oh, but I do." I...

Here's what I NEED: 1. Neck through or set neck with NO heel. I need easy access to all of the frets. 2. 24 frets. preferably jumbo or extra large. 3. Floyd Rose tremelo bridge. Prefer Original Floyd, but licensed will do. 3. High output humbucker(s). Not necessarily active. Don't really need...

I said I’d post this in another thread, so here you go: I’ll start this off by saying that I have a 22 year relationship with B. C. Rich guitars. Over the years I have owned 11 of them. The 2007 Neck Thru Warlock I received last night just might be the last. I was stoked when the box arrived...

I'm trying to simplify my final mixing process by making stem mixes of my tracks. I have left and right panned rhythm guitars and center lead/solo guitar. Each one is recorded on 2-3 tracks. Guitar Left is on tracks 1,2,3. Guitar Right is on tracks 4,5,6. Lead/solo isn't recorded yet, but will...

Does any one know of a production electric with a flat radius fretboard? I've played a nylon string classical with one. I'm interested in trying an electric.

I've got a spoken vocal with a lot of S's in it. I can usually fudge the pronunciation to get rid of it when I'm singing, but that technique is not working with the spoken vocal(it just sounds really bad). I'm hoping to zero in on the frequency of those nasty "ssssssss" things and notch the...

When I solo my bass and vocal tracks they sound fine. No distortion at all, but when I run them together they distort in spots. It is usually one word that gets distorted. I have them both panned straight up the middle. If I crank one off center the distortion lessens in proportion to how far...

The Culling is the song I attempted to mix on my partially functional Fostex VF160. It tranlates well as is every where I have listened to it save my mother-in-laws Ford Focus. The other one, Mission Control, is an MP3 I threw up to open my Soundclick account. It's just a rough level and pan...

I was told if I posted this here I might get some replies: I'm in a bit of a pickle. My teenage daughter says she mistakenly sat on my Fostex vf160. Just a little, she says. As soon as she realised her ass was not on the loveseat, she hopped up. Never mind that I have had my gear set up there...

I'm in a bit of a pickle. My teenage daughter says she mistakenly sat on my Fostex vf160. Just a little, she says. As soon as she realised her ass was not on the loveseat, she hopped up. Never mind that I have had my gear set up there for almost 2 years. Any way, most of the faders are no longer...

I've got my drums on tracks 1 and 2. I want a compressed copy of them on tracks 9 and 10. I plan on using both compressed and uncompressed tracks in the mix. I'm thinking what I need to do is BUSS record tracks 1 and 2 to tracks 15 and 16 with the compressor on then use track exchange to get...

This guy I know gave me a Digitech RP50(one of those indefinite loan things). On-line reviews range from the cats pajamas to the cats ass. I've heard you can get some usable sounds from it if you tweak the presets. I'm looking for decent heavy metal settings for direct recording.

I've had a Fender Bassman 100 for about 7 months. It has a DI out(XLR) on the back panel with a level control and a pre/post eq button. When it is set to PRE, I get a good signal. When it is set to POST, I get nothing. I want POST. Sounds like it's fucked up to me. According to the...

I met this guy who has a property he is marginally interested in selling. It is a 5 acre lot on a road with 9 other 5 acre lots. He is living in a small trailer on the property, but he has constructed a 4 car garage and a 40'x28' cinder block out building(his future wood shop) with concrete...

I don't have a guitar with a tremelo bridge. I have a friend who does. He doesn't play the guitar. It's more of a decoration(it's a 1999 B.C. Rich NJ Warlock). I asked him if I could borrow his guitar so I could record some whammy bar stuff. Since he's not going to miss it, I've got it for...

I'm probably going to buy one of these within the next week or so. My only reservation is that I don't know how well a 30 watt amp will hold up for rehersals with a drummer and my Fender Bassman 100. Gigs are no problem as all of the places I play at have PAs. Can it handle it or should I get...

I've got this guy who recorded his stuff on a Tascam 788. He needs it burned to a CD, but he has no way to do it. I told him I could run the RCA stereo out in to a pair of channels on my vf160, pan it, eq it, compress it and burn a CD. I will record on 15&16, pan left&right, eq on 15&16 and...

I've seen topics on this before, but search turned up nothing. A little background: A few months ago I recorded a 4 song demo for a local band. They didn't have a bass player, just a singer, drummer and two guitarists(one of the guitar guys played bass on the demo). This demo was intended to...

Any one have any ideas on recording a church choir? I was thinking a stereo pair would do the trick. What kinds(makes/models) of mics work best?
