    Amp hiss, hum, noise etc...

    I recently noticed that my Vox amp (15w solid state, not very good) was producing a lot of hiss and electronic background noise even with nothing plugged in and everything turned down. I hadn't noticed this when I first bought the amp (about a year ago), so it may have occured recently. And the...

    Could you take a listen to this?

    Can you please take a listen to this? This is my first ever try at recording the Acoustic Guitar. I took a lineout from my Yamaha Acoustic and I also miced it with a SM57 pointing towards the 12th fret. I ran those two signals into my Behringer mixer and took the output into my computer. You...

    In which order do we apply effects to tracks?

    I'm pretty sure that reverb comes last but do we EQ first or Compress/Limit first? How about other effects like flanger or gate, I'm a bit lost on the order of effects. Can anyone help me out?

    Delta 44 as main sound card?

    I just installed my Delta-44 the other day and it's conflicting with my Sound blaster AWE-64 sound card and my screen card. There is an incredible amount of noise in the soundblaster and my screen get's these lines going up and down (which never happened before). The thing is Delta-44 works...

    Warming up tracks with a tube preamp like ART?

    Ok here's a question. Say you have a pre-recorded drum or guitar track, and you want it to have some sort of a tube "warmness". Can you just run the prerecorded track through the ART tube preamp and get it warmed up? I have some doubts about this since the prerecorded track will already be at...

    Best deals on Roland drum modules and pads?

    I've been looking forward to getting a Roland electronic kit which consists of the TD-8 brain with an assortment of pads and accessories. So far the best prices I've found on the net were at Zzounds. I'll be in NYC next week, is there a higher chance that Sam Ash or Manny's will have a lower...

    The best place online to get a Midiman Delta44?

    So far I only know sweetwater. The card will be sent overseas since I'm in Turkey so Zzounds won't work since they don't ship overseas. Anyone know any other good/reliable sites with online ordering and the capability to ship overseas? Thanks...

    Behringer EURORACK MX1604A or Spirit Folio Notepad?

    I've been looking around for decent quality mixers which won't blow my budget up. I've narrowed them down to the Eurorack and the Folio Notepad, they both cost around $300; besides I don't have many options here. I've heard many good things about the Notepad but not much about the Eurorack. I'll...

As far as I know there are only 3 soundcard/breakout box packages with built in mic preamps, the seasound, the protools/001 package, and the aardvark. <br>...

    Recording drums using 4 channels on a PC recording enviroment....

    I play various instruments including the drums and the guitar, to this date I've always made small sound files using my trusty SoundBlaster PCI-64 card and some cheap mics. The quality was fine, enough to somewhat represent the sound of the instrument but it was no where near good. Since I...
