I have the exact same one, I like it much better than the Fender Jaguar Baritone Custom it replaced.

Lexicon Reflex reverb for $20 from a friend! Never had a "way better than decent" hardware 'verb before, this is a lot of fun.

Oh, and a good bass player. :lol: Wiseacre! :shock: It's also worth experimenting with roundwound vs. flatwound strings. Sometimes the deep solid fundamental tone of flatwounds blends better with other instruments. And others, the wiry grit you can get with roundwounds is just the ticket. LaBella a...

Why would you do that, and not transfer the files? I'm a tinkerer by nature and want to know the optimum way to transfer digital audio between two computers in real time, just 'cuz. I read about clock signals, jitter, etc. in TapeOp and want to apply that to my l'il bedroom setup. Also some of what...

Using Master Word Clock (Multiple Interfaces/Computers)

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro (Focusrite Saffire Pro24 interface) and 2004 HP PC (running Windows XP, M-Audio Delta 1010LT interface). There are a number of audio tracks on the XP box I want to add to projects on the MBP. I know I can transfer the files themselves, but if I want to go from the HP --> MB...

Really enjoyed the Laswell interview! I believe he had meningitis in the last couple years, good to know he's back on his feet again. slntwtchr - your site has been a great help in finding more info on BL. I appreciate that he doesn't over-share online...it keeps a sense of mystery and discovery. I ...

Tracktion to Rise from the Ashes?

Tracktion was the first DAW I ever used and still my all around favorite. It felt like a grown-up 4 track and helped minimize technical issues at the time I was just starting to write and record my own music. Developer Julian "Jules" Storer sold Tracktion to Mackie. After being acquired by LOUD Tech...

PBMBAB? (Problem between mixing board and band)? I haven't seen Phish since the Paul Languedoc days. They always sounded great with him at the board, from clubs to theaters to arenas & outdoor festivals. He was such an integral part of the sound (building Trey's guitars/cabs and some of Mike's basse...

I plan on helping a friend of mine record a voice "demo reel." She has a distinctive voice that projects emotion well, excellent diction/pronunciation, and experience reading/recording her own material as a single-take performance. She's a screenwriter/author so she wants to feature some of her own ...

Wow, great thread! I love when Muddy Waters or Howlin' Wolf really laid into a vocal and you hear the preamp break up. Also it's amazing how leisurely the tempos for slow songs were, like they had all the time in the world. I can't add much except to say the upright bass on all those old records had...

Re: The Future Engineer - Observations

I was recently talking with an acquaintance who is going to a university to study recording and something else. I had, in the past, suggested they consider getting involved as an intern at a studio and study their other major at school. I would have helped them attain the internship too. But that a...

Curious, what is Apple's response to the audio playback issues?

Also, does Logic draw and store the waveform profile (like I know Reaper, SoundForge, and Windows other apps I use do) or does it have to draw it fresh each time?
