Hi all, I'm trying to restore my twin reverb back to health, I love the amplifier but I've never gotten round to giving it the TLC it deserves. However, there seems to be a discrepancy in capacitor sizes and online schematics and I'm not sure how to continue. This amp was gifted to me by my...

Hi, I have a simple set up. The only preamp I use is a DAV BG1 along with an avalon U5 and these run into an RME interface which output to an Allen and Heath Zed10 mixer. It's a bit of a waste, but this is an easy control for speaker & headphone volume and it cut out the computer noise I was...

Hi everyone, I don't have the most money in the world so I've decided to build my own speaker cabinet. The whole point of this is to start me on the way to having more variety of sounds from the limited equipment I have and to future proof it so to speak. I only have a Vox AC15 amp, and a...

No matter how many videos I watch I just cant tune my snare, it's an acrolite which I got off of ebay. I can't hear the pitch difference, it sounds too complex to me. I have to tighten the snare right down on each side of the snare wires long before I come to the other lugs because it does not...

Specifically when he played all the instruments himself, does anyone have any information about how he went about his business when recording? Did he record a guide track or was he into laying down entire sections of instruments as everything was already in his head. Etc

Hi everyone, I’m getting to the stage of releasing some really good stuff but I’m not happy with my recordings. I’ve never had a good preamp so I’d like to get a pro quality single channel that’s versatile enough to do vocals, bass and guitar. Now I am open to having two preamps costing around...

Hi, I have limited money - can only spend a few pounds but I'm a serious recorder wanting to release my own music on the internet again. I have listened to many DI's, but sadly there are zero music shops where I live so I can't go out to try any before I buy. Primarily I like a clean bass...

Hello everyone, it's been a while! I had to sell up my recording equipment to head down south for a new job and I want to start again. I want to start creating a new recording studio - cubase based - it's all I've enjoyed using. I would like some help from everyone because I don't want to...

Hiya, I wonder if you could help me with a couple of things. I used to have a Sansamp bass driver but sold it when I had to regain cash, and I'm trying to get gear together for an amateur studio again. I'm wondering if plugins have gotten to the stage of not requiring anything other than a good...

Hey everyone, I've checked around and there is no shop locally that have both these guitars for me to try. I've been wanting to get a fretless bass for a long long time and now I'm wanting to take the plunge. I've done some research and these are the two guitars I've found that are in my price...

I have a knackered HH V800 power amplifier to try and repair. However, I've never dealt with power amplifiers before, and don't know much about it. I've looked at the unit, and I see no ohm rating of speakers that have to be connected, will i be ok just connecting one or two 4 or 6 Ohm...

I bought a couple of virtual studios recently. Both were inexpensive, but one of them was sold for spares but I'd like to see if I can get it up and running. I opened up the unit to find no hard drive, and a strange enclosure with a connector i've never seen before - so i really don't know what...

I dug out my Porta Two from the loft and sadly found it wasn't in perfect working order. First I had a problem with the heads staying engaged which I managed to rectify by removing the tape assembly and turning one of the wheels. Now I don't have any problem with this. One problem that is quite...

Hey, at work I was handed a Wharfedale EVP-15P, I reluctantly accepted it to have a look at. Now, it refused to turn on, and so I took the thing apart and started examining the unit. Someone has already been in at the unit, and going by what was done, it seems the person didn't have much of a...

Hey, I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I'm wanting to build a vibrato effect for use with my guitar but I cannot find any circuit diagrams online. All I can find is the Hendrix univibe which is not at all what I'm looking for. I don't want a phaser type effect or a tremelo effect...

Hello, I have an Audio Technica ATW-T310 UHF transmitter. The socket for this is completely beyond use, it's the four pin push locking type. If i remember correctly it's a rose type connector or something. I've been looking to replace this for some time now, I just don't know where to source...

i didn't know where else i could post this, but what the hell when i was younger i did play live a few times, each time i was scared though, but i'm of the opinion it perhaps would have gotten easier the more i did it. the band members i had were not the type to work hard though so i liquidated...

hi everyone, i'm not a great drummer - like to throw that in at the start lol anyway, i wrote a song that is 4/4, but the snare plays a triplet on the second beat (it carries on for that full beat, so i'm guessing it's a quarter note triplet) i find it very easy playing quarter note high hats...

Hi every one, I was just wondering if I could make a Fostex R8 remote control extension cable. I think every one knows how hard to come by these things are now and don't want to pay over the odds for it! A question on the side: The R8 is getting sluggish - especially if it's not in use...

Hi everyone, I have been drumming for a while now - off and on but am wanting to learn correct technique for once. I've searched all over the net looking for an answer to my question but have failed. All i ever hear about is - tension the pedal to personal preference and that you shouldn't...
