    Old microphones

    I'm always checking out microphones I see on old TV shows - game shows mostly. In my online searches today, I came across these two sites. The first has the Shure SM5, and the second is a Reverb page with some nice pics of one for sale at the time but has sold...

    I'd like some info about ordering from Thomann

    I really want a Harley Benton SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series. I'd like to know if anyone in the U.S. has ordered a guitar (or whatever) from Thomann that was shipped overseas to the U.S. What's involved with this? Are there extra fees and/or taxes that need to be paid when it arrives in the U.S...

    [SOLVED] Difficulty when printing lyrics Win 10 WordPad

    I'm using an image here instead of actual text because a similar situation happens when I copy/paste to this thread. All the blank spaces between guitar chord names are collapsed so they show up here as ADG.

    Anyone using RØDE M5 mics ?

    I was checking out their matched pairs - videos with various acoustic guitars, etc. I wasn't too impressed with their sound favoring the lower frequencies, could've just been the guitars used - one was a Seagull who's models I've always thought to be a little too much on the muddy/bassy side...

    Harbinger VARI SM505 5" / SM508 8" Studio Monitors With 3-Voice DSP and Bluetooth

    What are your thoughts on the idea behind these? Not their performance features, just the idea. I'm set up in a small bedroom with virtually zero sound treatment and I'm thinking I could put a pair of these 5" jobs to good use. I just tripped across these as I was checking GC for used bass combo...

    Still using CDs ?

    More to the point, are you using CDs for anything other than replaying your music collection? Like. . . are they any part of your home recording system? My desktop has a player/burner and my car has a player, yet I haven't used either for 3+ years - and I don't miss them at all. Anything I want...

    Cool Vibes

    Strange but cool . . . the last dozen or so times I've set my Strat up to record, or at least practice, I've gotten this intermittent humming or smooth buzzing sound in my headphones. Not an electrical sound at all, more like what you hear in your head when one or both ears are plugged with...

    Phasing when recording DI & miked simultaneously

    Do you use any plugin(s) to correct phasing, or just slide a track over to align them? Or. . you don't get enough phasing to worry about?

    Giving up on cable internet

    Just got an eMail from the my ISP telling me our Congress has not approved funding to continue the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) to subsidize internet costs for those who cannot otherwise afford the service. Beginning with the month of April, all subsidies will be discontinued and our...

    Annoying IK Multimedia experience

    Several days ago, I tried opening an older Reaper project which has AmpliTube 4 & 5 on several tracks. The project would not open. When Reaper tried loading Amp 5 it locked up and a little pop-up window opened with something to the effect Amp 5 was not available to be accessed and my only option...

    The process

    I have this song I wrote back in . . . 1980, I think. Pop Rock. Except for performing it live with my band 2 times, I've only performed it solo on (unplugged) acoustic. For the past couple months, I've been trying to work up a more recent song from around 2016 that's only been performed live...

    Random tuning stuff

    I've always read that when tuning a guitar you should never tune down to a note, always tune up to keep tension at the key. Makes sense to me. But sometimes I can only nail the note perfectly by going sharp and tuning down. This has and does happen with my Strat, Acoustic and bass guitars...

    Article : Phantom Artists

    An old bandmate sent me this today. I found it very interesting as well as pertinent. I often wonder if any of my posted music has been pirated in such a way. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/13/business/music-streaming-fraud-spotify.html?unlocked_article_code=1.NU0.nepQ.lds5YssjnOpL&smid=em-share

    Venting on V7.X

    I've upgraded from V5-V6 to the new V7 and have been using it for several weeks now with no problems. But today has been another story. . . I set up to record a new project and get no audio in my headphones. The meters on my interface and in Reaper are going just fine - no audio. AmpliTube is...

    Old Strings New Strings

    I decided it was time to replace the strings on my Taylor Big Baby. These are the originals from 10-27-2017. They don't have a lot of play time on them, maybe somewhere around 20 hrs or so, but they are quite dirty and not as playable. I wanted a deeper sound but strings can't help too much...
