You no longer need a Digi/Avid interface as a dongle. The ilok is the new dongle. They cost $30 and, in my experience, are the least offensive and most reliable form of copy protection. Small price to pay if you ask me b

Tuner for Guitar/Stage tech.

As a player I've always loved the stability and indestructible nature of the Boss TU-2. As an engineer I've liked the Peterson strobes for setups and recording purposes. Slow but precise. What do any of you stage/guitar techs use during concerts when you're tuning one or two guitars during every son...

Seconded on the Nashville tuning. Also, next time you think about smashing a cheap guitar on stage think also about maybe giving it to a younger cousin or nephew or any kid who can't afford a guitar. Give him our Harmony with insane action and teach him a few chords or how to play I Can't Explain or...

This is actually an easy question for me to answer because I'm down to using only one pedal. The Z. Vex Super Duper 2-in-1. Two channel gain boost with a master volume on the second channel. My main tone is a little boost from the first channel. My louder/dirtier tone is the second channel cranked w...

In repro, with the track armed, punching in and out doesn't change the hiss (loud) or faint echoes of what sounds like bulk-erased program material (quiet).

After a few weeks off we're visiting this monster in the living room again. We shotgunned all of the ICs and sockets and the transport seems to be rock solid in all speeds. Now we're having trouble trying to get our tape recorder to record. Audio passes through when the channel is on Input. Nothing ...

On a board full of Tele users I'll add to the chorus. If I had to let go of all of my guitars and the studio's guitars but one I'd keep my 62 Custom Telecaster reissue. Rosewood fingerboard, not terribly twangy, and capable of being really heavy through the right amp with the tone knob rolled back a...

I will do / am doing this with you. Such a great idea. I've been trying to push myself to study this on my own for too long and it isn't working. I'm hoping that doing this with a group will help me the say way I've had luck with stop-drinking-with-a-buddy and lose-weight-with-a-buddy. This'll be fa...

I like that answer, Scodiddly. Thanks.
Airloom and I double-teamed it this afternoon and managed to pull out all of the old caps on 8 channels and get the new caps in five of the channels in two or three hours. Master section coming soon. As soon as we decide what if anything is getting upgraded.

When replacing the red sockets is there a different socket type that should be used or should the chips be soldered directly to the board?
