one more thing i forgot to ask... will it be loud enough for practices and small gigs? I like to play loud!

Well, before I make the plunge and buy one of these things, I'd like to get your opinions on them. From what I can gather on the Vox website ( http://www.voxamps.com/us/customclassic/ac30cc/ ), they have 2 models that I would be interested in. I am interested in the combo models with 2...

hey antispatula, any tips on accessing your head voice? i can't do it :(

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/technology/22cooder.html?_r=1&oref=slogin I just read this and it made me chuckle, but what do you guys who actually know stuff about mastering think about this?

Another recommendation for the cheap but quality Casio Privia line of keyboards. They have good keyboard actions and good piano sounds. If all you need is a piano sound and no other features, then maybe this...

my voice is double tracked and has a little bit of reverb on it. Also, I think my piano was a little out of tune, which is why it may sound discordant.

ok, i was wondering mainly what you think of my voice. Please be harsh and critique the vocals honestly! I think I may have been a bit off on some of the harmonies. Thanks.

well i have an electronic keyboard that I will probably use rather than midi or my acoustic piano in that case. It's weird, usually i thought I was pretty good at hearing if things were out of tune, and while this piano part I played does sound slightly out of tune, i didn't think it was that...

ah yes my piano is slightly out of tune, hopefully that is the thing that is throwing you guys off. anyways, thanks for the comments so far. I plan to expand this song a bit if I can think of a cool bridge for it (although I have been trying unsuccessfully to do this for a while). Also for a...

most of what you are saying is valid criticism-- this was just a rough mix or sketch of a song I am working on, so perhaps i should have only posted this in the song writing forum, which I did recently. that aside, i played no wrong notes on the piano... so i have no idea what you are talking...

http://home.comcast.net/~dajoda2/Requiem.mp3 there's a rough recording of it. I kinda stole a lot of the lyrics from the Jethro Tull song "Requiem" just tell me what you think of it! Thanks.

http://home.comcast.net/~dajoda2/Requiem.mp3 take a listen. I recorded everything (the drums, piano, and voice) just using my one condenser mic, and I suck at drums, so the drums are very badly played lol. In fact, the drum track is a combination of 2 drum tracks I made (I would never be able...

you arnt using XP Media Center are you? Hopefully you are on XP Home or Pro, cuz if i remember correctly, the firebox can have issues when running on XP Media Center.

I have a Dell Core Duo laptop (the same kind as the one described in that topic) but the internal firewire port works fine for my Firebox. It seems the problem does not affect Presonus gear from what other people posted in that other topic too.

I want to mic an acoustic guitar in stereo using 2 different condenser mics. Is this a bad idea because I am using 2 different microphones, or can this still acheive good results even though they are not the same type of microphone or a matched-pair?

if you export as .ogg and convert to .mp3 afterwards, you will be losing sound quality as you are converting from one lossy format to another lossy format. Bad idea. You should just export as a .wav (wave) file, and use another program (perhaps itunes-- it's free) to convert the exported .wav...

I would definitely recommend making your mix sound the best that it can with no EQ adjustments on the music listeners system. Think about it: most people who listen to music never touch the EQ at all, and some music players don't even have an equalizer! Also, if your songs required one...

wow, i was seriously laughing out loud as i was reading your post... perhaps a sign that you are overdoing it? Seriously, if you are just a home recorder like most of the rest of us, your story is even more laughable! I hope you are at least a professional of some sort who has many clients...

I don't think so, because he has listened to it next to me while I was also listening to it, and I thought it was just stick hits, but he kept saying it was clipping. Well, I'm pleased to see the responses all agree with me, hehe.

Ok, so we recently recorded some drum tracks, and on the drum overhead track, there are certain times, always when there is a cymbal hit, that my friend thinks that some clipping occurs. I think that it is not clipping, and instead it is the sound of the stick hitting the cymbal. My meters...
