I recently got a sweet deal on a pair of Adam S3As (1k) Which inspired me to sell all, simplify and upgrade. I bought an apogee trak2 ($700) which takes care of all of my pre, DI, and A/D needs. All I need now is some DAC and a firewire interface (used basically as a format converter for my...

I just got a pedal power 2+ to (you guessed it) power my pedals. I have 2 pedals that are causing an issue. EHX Freeze - which takes a whopping 140ma and a Diamond Memory lane - 18VDC at 125ma. My initial thought was that I'd have to double the voltage on 5-6 (150ma each) for the diamond and...

Will good converters always be good converters? Or will today's RME be surpassed by a 100$ interface five years from now? The reason I ask, is I need a new interface, but was thinking on buying some nice Apogee converters instead, and then the cheapest interface with digital ins that I can find...

I think somewhere around 600$ is standard, but we can discuss. Thank you.

So here's the deal, I recently sold all of my mics, except a pair of Naiant XMs, because I really needed cash. Turns out I didn't need the cash so I'm in need of some micage. Budget is roughly 1000$. I need something to cover mainly vocals some cabs and some room micing. Previously, I had an mxl...

I was wondering if any one has suggestions on where to get suitable speakers for some home made nearfield monitors. I'd like to maximise my value for money by just wiring some high quality speakers into an old enclosure but haven't been able to find anything suitable.

I'm wondering if there's any way to hook a sustain pedal up to a controller that only has a MIDI out. As far as I can tell, it seems like something that would be theoretical doable but know of no such product.

I'm looking for some opinions on really good mixes. I'd like to be able to cross reference my mixes with some standout mixes and I'd like to hear some opinions on the subject. My personal favorite is So Far Around the Bend by The National, I think all of the elements of the song interact...

I recently got a motu traveler which i use with a macbook and logic. I want to record all of my logic projects directly to an external hard drive rather than the macbook's internal. How do I set up Logic to do this?

I have an AC30 that just eats through fuses. I swapped the output tubes but that didn't seem to do much. Takes about 2 minuets for a fuse to blow(the one right on the ac in) and the specs on the fuses all check out. Wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or know of a fix?

I've got space limitations so I am currently stacking my interface on top of my power distributor. It doesn't seem to cause any problems but am I unknowingly frying my hardware? They are both rackmount units so I figure that in a rack they would basically be stacked together but I just want to...

I'm recording with a tascam interface on a mac. Can I get playback out of my built in speakers while using the tascam drivers?

Before i start asking specific questions I figure I should make sure I know the basics. When recording through a multi-input interface to software, what should the outcome be? Do all of your separate inputs show up individually on the software or are they a single track? What would the basic set...

Can i record multiple tracks at the same time on Logic(if not any other program) with an Alesis usb mixer? I'd like to be able to have the separate inputs recorded into logic individually rather then as a single track.

I'm having quite the time trying to find a box to stuff the guts of pedal I'm making into. Anyone have any suggestions on what to use/where to buy? I'd rather not use a preexisting gutted stomp box because there isn't a whole lot of fun in that.

I don't really understand the concept behind combos with extra jacks for external speakers. Taking an ac15 as an example, how would using an external speaker cab make the amp any louder if it is still pushing out the same 15 volts that it was through the internal speaker? Would making myself a...

I'm looking to use a MIDI controller through my imac as a secondary synth for performing live. How do I get the output of the laptop into the mix? Do I have to put the headphone output through a di Box into the mix or what?

I've got an Art tube mp studio and liked it for the money but lost my adapter. I bought an art tube mp (no opl or meter) and noticed the power supply was 1000ma. The pamphlet said it needed 700ma. To me, 300ma seems like a pretty big differential. I'm assuming that it's okay but just checking...

I've got a strat with a floating tremolo. I can't figure out how to make it fixed rather then floating, any suggestions on how I'd do that?

So far recording has been pretty intuitive for me but the one thing that I can't do no matter how hard I try is get a decent drum recording and it's been surprisingly hard to find anything on the web about drum placement that doesn't involve a ridiculous amount of mics. I've got an LDC and three...
