I had one of those years ago and really loved it! Glad to see that people are still using that one. I sold it after I got a Korg D3200 several years ago.

Akai GX-365D I bought one of these for $35 from a guy in a parking lot outside of a Guitar Center in Des Moine last year. The thing had a nice thick coating of nicotine and years of fuzz/grim/grease/etc. But I cleaned it up, hit all the contacts with contact cleaner and have used it to...

1. Happy New Year! 2. Ok, back to my topic :) I was watching the Dick Clark New Years special tonight and was wondering if the performers were singing live or if they were lip syncing? I know the lip sync thing is extremely common these days. But does anyone have a good method of picking up...

I keep seeing the "how many guitars do you have" thread and started thinking... What is your logic for having more than one guitar? For me personally, my goal was to try to have an example of a variety of styles - like acoustic, solid body, semi-hollow, bass, etc. So I'm hovering around 12...

That's gonna be a drag if you don't have a lot of experience with desoldering/soldering. That type will be soldered directly on a little board. Assuming you already have a soldering iron and solder... Go to RatShack and get a desoldering tool - it's sort of a syringe in reverse. One at a time...

That might be a bad link. It didn't work for me.

I did hear two after several run throughs. They might be some kind of artifact from the AD/DA converters of your system. Here's something to try. Record a short run on an analog system of some sort (like a cassette) - then use that to go to the digital system... several times. If it happens...

So are these differences primarily noticed in an acoustic setting? ... as in, no amp? So if you're playing through any kind of pickup/amp, it seems (to me) the differences would be less pronounced. In either case, I could certainly understand some subtle differences in sustain/attack/etc...

My wife and I had a software business years ago. The "free" press was the best thing that ever happened to us. Do some searches on "Press Kits" and you'll get the idea. Basically, media has to fill up the airwaves/cable/web/paper with 24/7 of "stuff". Many media operations are extremely...

Is this amp for bass, guitar, vocal? All of the above? If you're looking at first going through a sansamp or whatever, then I would suggest a small solid state amp designed like a floor monitor. Two that come to mind are the Crate Taxi and a Roland drum amp. The Roland drum amp will cost...

Wow, that's outstanding. We now have yet ANOTHER source of noise in in our delicate systems! Kudo's to your wife for helping you figure this one out. She deserves a little something extra from Santa for that one. That could have gone on for years! (what would that have been in dog years :o)

One thing to try to do try different settings with the same track. Keep recording the same thing with different attack, release, ratio, thresholds, etc. It's kind of funky and takes time, but depending on what you want to hear from a dynamic range it can definately smooth our your tracks. The...

Chirps sound cyclical - Do you have a ceiling fan or any other device in the room that cycles? Aquarium, flashing neon beer sign, etc? If it's the neon sign, then you need to immediately send it to me for further research and diagnostics. That generally takes about 10 to 35 years for turn...

You might check out a Hamer Echotone. I got mine used on Ebay a number of years ago. I swapped out the humbuckers for Duncan P90's. It's probably been my top 1 or 2 fav guitars over the years (the other one being my heavily modded Strat). It's stood the test of time, superb playability, the...

You might try StewMac, Warmoth or even do a search on Ebay. I think I bought one from an on-line store once and another one off of Ebay. They're fairly cheap - I'm thinking like $20 or less for either new or used. The hard part might be finding one that fits the style of your guitar. But if...

Thanks for posting that. That was very cool. It's not something I would personally try in the near future - but it's a great overview of the process. I really liked your home made clamp - it looks extremely simple, yet extremely effective. Good pics also.

You might want to consider that if it's the Wii AND GH, then she's getting a boat load of activities not just limited to Guitar Hero. You'd be suprized how well the Wii goes over with all age groups - it a blast on the holidays. Kids, grandpa, crabby old aunt Martha and that smart-assed...

Actually, it was a little stupidity on either his, his mechanic or the guy he bought the plan from's part. There a cool web site that talks about the death of famous people - lot's of musicians! (obviously :rolleyes:) http://deathclock.com/findadeath.cfm

Given that I got it for free it was worth every cent! Actually, I used to use the style that had a long tube with holes in it and a big piece of plastic that you would have to work between the sound hole and strings - total pain. Plus the tube probably lays against bare wood at some point and...

Just curious :rolleyes:
