    Help with Traktor's Beatslicer

    Elbow - The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver - YouTube This is a UK band called Elbow. My question is: can anyone tell if there is any vocal treatment on the singer? Most live performances are gone over with a bit of auto-tuner if they plan on selling it, but I can't tell if there is any...

    Beginner Guitar Theory Query

    Ok, I just have a question about the Pentatonic Scale. I am just starting to get into theory, so don't judge. I've included the scale patterns as a pic, but I am still wondering how to apply them. What chords can I play these scales over, and what note do I start with?

    wobbly guitar?

    I am not sure where to post this really, but I am having a bit of a frustrating problem. I don't know what's going on with my guitar tone, and I don't even know if there is a problem. Anything that I record in Reaper with my guitar sounds awful on playback. Weird clicking, wobbly sounding...

    low gain problem, yall.

    Track 2 is my guitar track. It's recorded clean into my FastTrack with the Output at full blast. Notice there is barely even a noticeable WAV length recorded.

    low gain problem, yall.

    Sorry to ask such a boring question: I have an old M-Audio FastTrack (not the pro), and I am plugging my guitar into the guitar line on it, and then the USB to my laptop and into Reaper. The problem: The guitar volume is very low. Not like, freakishly low, but nowhere near the max, and...

    Help with WAV files, please!

    Here's the problem. I have small WAV files (about 5 different ones) that I want to string together to make 1 WAV file. They are small drum loops, but I want to combine to make one large wav file to transport to my recorder as the drum track. Is there a program I can download that will...

    drum program like Hammerhead?

    Hey does anyone know of a program that is similar to HAMMERHEAD but like....better? As in, better samples that could fool some into thinking they are real, and more expandable than just 8 measures of loops? And I'm not asking for something else that's free, I'm just looking for something that...
