thanks for all the great replies. I've convinced a pro engineer/producer (and friend) to let me take him to lunch and pick his brain on this subject. That will happen in about a week or so. This gives me time to do a little more research and hone my questions down hopefully, so I don't waste his tim...

I tried Reaper a long time ago and did like it. I absoutely love my current DAW...Tracktion 3. the issue is, i need to be able to interact with professional studios often enought to justify using a daw that wouldnt be my first choice. Im sure reaper has come a long way since ive tried it, but probab...

"1) You want compatibility with other (bigger) studios so you can transfer sessions between your home and another place." this is the reason I thought I'd like to make the switch I'm definetly a small time home recording hobbyist, however I play in bands that use professional studios from time to ti...

new pc rig, new daw, some basic questions
I would like to make the move to a system with a few more inputs, and I need a new computer also. I am also strongly considering moving from Tracktion 3 to protools. I'm not well versed in computers or daw setup and have some questions. Do I need a dedicated PC? music only? Id really like to use one...

a good replacement for tracktion 3? windows 7 64 bit
Howdy folks, my first post in ages. Ive had two 'multitrack" recording formats in the past twenty years. tascam PortaOne cassette, and Tracktion (2 and 3). The only interface Ive ever used has been the tonport UX2 from line6. I very much like having the amp modeling and low latency of that device. I...

no effects in the chain - just the ernie ball vol pedal and straight in. i'll mess around with the amp but as far as i can tell - it's working fine as always - just not with the pedal steel. i did a bunch of reading on the steel forums and this is what they say - you want high powered ss amps so th...

Pedal steel pickups are wound hotter, but not THAT much hotter, than a guitar pickup. As I said I at one time owned a Carter Starter and played it thru several tube amps with no problems. Carter Starters are notorious for being broken (most often the knee levers) but Ive never heard of anyone encoun...

the super is working great. i just don't think it has the headroom that this instrument needs Not true, as i said, my friend gigs one. Its a bit gritty at the top but he does just fine with it. he plays classic country so its the smooth butttery tones you described in your first post. if your super...

Re: pedal steel and tube amps
ok - i know many pedalsteel players love the peavey solid state amps and that ss amps tend to have more headroom/power to suit the large dynamic range of the ps. but - i am trying out a carter starter (wanting to learn after playing lap for the past 10 years) and i only have tube amps. i can't affo...
