I love this thread. Lately I cannot keep my hands off this little guy, my 90's Ibanez Talman. http://imgur.com/BJAxyhu I also use this little beast, a Korean Tele, quite a bit. Coil tapping it makes it sound pretty strat-like, so I hardly ever play my strat... http://imgur.com/m2VNpnr edit: don't ju...

I am an idiot I guess. The D-box has panning knobs on the front panel specifically for input 7/8... and I had them in the middle. Dammit.

Logic Pro X problem

I have looked all over these interwebs and am unable to find a solution.... I am using a UA Apollo and trying to sum my mix with the Dangerous D-Box. Routing should be easy enough... I send all my tracks to busses and then route those busses to stereo outputs. Logic reserves output 1/2 for the "Ster...

How is the bass in this mix? (my friend Natalie)

Check out my latest project with my friend Natalie. She has a great voice and is a pretty cool song writer. She is mainly an acoustic player and singer so I did everything else. The percussion sounds are a djembe she brought in. Be brutal.

This is great! I might get on one... I can't find the video now, but I saw a dude on youtube who made his own mic robot AND... a remote control drum cloud! It moved up and down to allow more or less room sound. That'd be Eric Valentine? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8jymtu45kI Yes! I forgot it w...

iMac just shut off... won't turn back on.

Maybe someone else has experienced this: My iMac shut down gave me an error message saying "computer is shutting down, sorry"... When I restarted the OS begins to load and the whole machine shuts off within a few seconds. Will not come back on. It is a late 2009 iMac so it was getting dated and I en...

Thanks drumsound, to clear up what I posted before I tracked with the D6 and DI but ended up only mixing the DI. It was doing the job until my iMac completely took a dump. I will have a whole different rant post with that story I'm sure... As a side question to this thread: How the hell does one get...

Man... I don't even know what to do with all the advise here! First off, I agree that my playing is not the best... I'm a guitarist and we all know that aint the same thing as a real bass player! I know bassists that touch the instrument and it just sounds amazing... those are the guys (obviously) I...

Guys, I can't record bass...

Actually, I don't even know if I can't record bass (guitar) or if I just can't mix bass right. This is kinda embarrassing to admit considering I've been recording music for about 17 years but it is always my biggest struggle. It seems like it's always the same problems: Either there is a gnarly buil...

I always thought this was a great DAW, especially for beginners. It's super easy, one window. I did a little EP on it years ago. Pretty fun to use, I still tell people to get it if they are just starting and don't want to spend a lot of money.

Man. All these responses are great... even the ones that contradict. haha. I LOVE the Blues Jr. idea... there is one in the store that has been callin' my name, and I am SICK of lugging my Peavey Classic 50 around 3 times a week (to bars where it is totally overkill). I am just kinda sitting on the ...
