    Vocals sound muffled in booth

    Sing in the booth and "build" the room with reverb or a convolution/impulse plugin. I think Freeverb is still free. Depends on if your hardware or software.

    Software Drum Sample Player

    Thanks for the replies guys! @guitarplayr82: My DAW does not have this capability. The only thing MIDI it uses is for sync. @TimOBrien: I'll have a look at Shortcircuit. At first glance, it looks a bit complicated for my drummer, and I'm trying to find something he can work with himself so...

    Software Drum Sample Player

    Hi Folks! I'm looking for software (freeware would be good!) to play some drum samples. Basically what I have is a Roland TD-7 brain and some pads. However, the sounds I need are not available on the machine. I have built the samples already as .wav files in my PC. I now need to be able to midi...

    Midistudio 688 problems

    Many electronic parts places carry belts. Not sure about your area. If you can get the old ones out in one piece, they can measure them and get you replacements. Sometimes they come out looking like bubble gum if they're really bad. If you go this route, keep in mind that they are probably...

    Midistudio 688 problems

    Haven't worked on one of those for a while, but if memory serves, theres a take up reel sensor that works off the tape counter. This is to keep the machine from eating tape. In other words, if the take up reel isn't working, or if the machine THINKS it isn't working--STOP. Most of the time it's...

    Cleaning up noisy pots Tascam 424 MkII

    If that doesn't do it, hit your local Radio Shack and get some Deoxit. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104746

    Marshall Amp - Tube Overload Incident

    Thanks for clarifying. As long as you stay in standby mode, you should be able to run the amp with no load.

    Marshall Amp - Tube Overload Incident

    To clarify: You can not run a tube amp unloaded! If the standby switch is in the ON position (plate voltage to the tubes), you must have either speaker(s) or a dummy load plugged in.

    Bad Guitar Tone

    In case anyone cares (maybe someone else will run into this), I ended up using a 20ms track double leaving one side dry and the delayed signal to the opposite side. Each side was panned out about 3/4. It "thickened" the guitar up quite a bit and allowed me to use less radical EQ. There was still...

    Are there quiet-er cymbals?

    Wireneck pretty much summed it up for ya. I might add one thing, though. I drum with several different bands covering many styles of music. One thing I do based on room size and type of music is use different stick sizes. I carry a variety of sticks from 7A's to 5B's. Obviously, a smaller stick...

    Bad Guitar Tone

    I'm in the middle of mixing a live project and the guitar tone is "less than adequate" (putting it nicely). Basically, it's EXTREMELY "middy" and sounds like it was recorded through a telephone. In an ideal situation, I would retrack it (by the way, I did not record it or I would have fixed it...

    Can someone explain to me how to match amps and loudspeakers?

    It seems there's already a consensus here (correctly so), but I just thought I'd add this little ditty. Years ago a friend and I were goofing around in my electronics shop with some 6X9 car speakers that were laying around. We hooked up one side of a pro amp rated at 400W/Channel at 8 ohms to a...

    You guys are kidding, right?

    This thread demonstrates precisely why I rarely come to this BBS any more. Just stopped in to see what's goin' on and it's even less about recording than last time. It's like a bunch of kids playin' "king of the mountain". Go ahead...have a great fight up there...I'll be in the bar havin' a...

    motu 24 i/o VS delta 1010

    It's mostly PC's with certain Via chipsets. Check out the FAQ's on their website. There's also some good info at unicornation.com. I wasn't implying that you can't use MOTU with PC's. It's just more difficult on SOME PC's to make things work. If you have an Intel processor and chipset, you...

    motu 24 i/o VS delta 1010

    Also make sure you check into compatibility with your PC/Mac. Motus don't play nice with some PC's. That is a fact. The following is just my opinion after battling Motu products for quite some time. Unless you are going with or have a Mac, go with the 1010. Also...call and/or email each...

    Creating a boot disk

    OOPS! My bad! I could have sworn Win 98 was a bootable disk, but guess I F'd up. My apologies for the misinformation. Hope I didn't make extra work for you and I hope you get things figured out. It seems my efforts to help you only complicaed things.

    Creating a boot disk

    While what DeadPoet says will work to get you into DOS mode so you can restore files/reinstall/etc., if you're going to reinstall 98 you are going to have to have a 98 CD. That said- if you have a 98 CD, it is already a bootable disk so there is no reason to go through all that hassle. The fdisk...

    Creating a boot disk

    I assumed by reading your post that you did not want XP. Your BIOS comes WAY before any operating system boot. You should be easily able to get into BIOS. Possibly the "hit del to run setup" is hidden (could be f1 or any other number of keys depending on the mother board manufacturer). You could...
