Apologies if we aren't supposed to post super deals on music gear in this forum, but for folks who were considering upgrading they need to know about this. I don't know why it's suddenly so cheap, but Sweetwater is selling the Sonar X3 "any previous version of producer" Producer upgrade for...

My guitar case is scuffed up and could use a cleaning. I have some of that tire protectant stuff, but I don't want to make the case all shiny and slippery. Which cleaner/vinyl restorer you would recommend? Thanks, D

I'm thinking about picking up an Audix D6 to add to my small collection of mics, mainly for the purpose of miking up my kick drum. If you have one, have you found any other good uses for it? If it's only great for kicks and meh for everything else, I'd rather get something more useful...

Hi, I picked up a beat to death and non-working Peavey Combo 300 amp today and thought I am a complete wiring electronics newb, I was able to find a broken connection and solder it back. So now it's working! Woohoo! The only problem is, when I was taking it apart I didn't pay attention to...

Echo Interface Users Roll Call Since there was only one thread in the Event/Echo Forum I thought I'd start another and see if we can get a roll call of the Echo users in here. I've finally upgraded from my old Gina20 to a new Layla 3G. I think PCI works great and I've never had probles with...

I just manage to upgrade to 6 and they go and knock me down another peg.

This sounds like a "too good to be true" offer. So I thought I'd ask if anyone tried this download site, or is willing to say they got taken by these guys?? :D:D http://soft-low.net/download-cakewalk-sonar-6-producer-edition-oem.php

I am trying to improve the piano sound at my church and decided to go with a 3-PZM under the hood setup. I'd like to use a mixer/pre-amp to mix the 3 signals down to one XLR cable because our soundboard is short on extra inputs and I'd like to leave a few available if other needs come up...

The piano at my church is being mic'd with an old SM58 clone placed dead center over the strings and about 6" up. It sounds muffled and uninspiring and the lower and higher keys don't seem to be picked up as well. We do have phantom power on the main board so I was thinking a couple of...

I have a Silverface '72 that says "CBS Instruments, Fullerton, CA" on the label inside the cabinet and I had a couple of questions about that. 1. Are Fender Amps Made in Fullerton Better? 2. When did fender stop making amps in Fullerton? 3. What changed in the Amp builds when CBS bought them...

I just purchase a Lexicon Omega and wanted to upgrade my PC to get the most out of it. I upgraded from an Athlon XP 2000+ to an Athlon 64 X2 4400+ and doubled my RAM from 512MB DDR PC3200 to 1024MB DDR PC3200. Add to that an 320GB SATA II Hard Drive (300MB/Second transfer speed vs...

My Carvin tube amp has started making a rattling noise lately and I'm not sure what the cause is. It seemed to be louder with the reverb turned up so I thought it might be the tube or a loose spring. I completely disconnected the reverb tank and it still makes the sound. I purchased a new...

My sons metal band wants me to record a few of their songs this weekend and I'd appreciate any tips you can give to help save me time and headache. I went to one of their practice sessions and when they stated playing I couldn't hear anything but garbled noise. After 15-20 minutes of tweaking...

Just picked up an ESP EC-1000 (two thumbs up) with the Seymour Duncan JB/59 pickups and I am amazed at the variety of GOOD groovable tones all the way up and down the volume pot. The JB (uncovered) goes from metal crunch, to classic rock, to juuust breaking up bluesy, to clean funkified thin...

I need more than two recording inputs and was thinking of adding a 2nd card to my PC. Anybody out there currently doing this? Any problems inherent to recording with multiple cards simultaneously? Thanks!

I have noticed that a lot of the new guitars I look at have what appear to be "dry" spots on the rosewood fretboards where it looks like they didn't get the stain into the deeper grain of the wood. Is this an indication of cheaper rosewood, sloppy finish work, or just the way it is? I don't...

Sounds like a type of rock instead of a type of wood. Is this any good for guitars? Or is it the cheapest wood they can get away with? Just wondering.

What are the pros and cons of using and amp's Effects Send\Return jacks vs. going from the guitar, to the effects, to the amp. Is this a matter of preference or situation, or does one definitely work better than the other? Thanks

I want to get that U2\Edge echo-delay guitar thang going. Any recommendations on an echo or delay pedal? I would like to stay under a $100 if I can. Thanks

Anybody here try replacing the Kluson Vintage tuners on a Les Paul with the "modern" Grover tuners? Were they a direct replacement or did you have to drill new holes for the screws? Was one better than the other? Thanks
