    Favourite recording software?

    Anyone have some recommendations on what recording software is a decent option? Preferably something with a not too steep learning curve so I actually get around to using it. I used to use ProTools at university but that was ten years ago. Cakewalk Express since then...that was ok... Any...

    Is there a reason why people use a Shure dyanmic to record amps?

    Instead of a good condenser mic as used for vocals, acoustic instruments etc? Is it a fact that guitar amps don't produce sound outside of the range of a dynamic microphone, or do we simply assume that and ignore any potential loss of range? The times I've recorded in studio I've normally had...

    My First SDUGF Clip

    Given I've been on the board quite a while, since sometime back on the previous board, thought I better find a clip and post one. Actually my previous computer lacked sound functionality so I never got around to getting stuff up here... Be nice :flowers1: The track was a home-studio...

    Which guitar to take? Advice please

    I need to decide which guitar to take with me to southeast asia tomorrow. Here are the considerations: 1. My mexican tele. Only issue is the thread is gone on the neck pickup and I'll need to get that repaird somewhere, so it's not instantly playable. However, it is MIM and a bolt-on, so I...

    Played a Cort EVL-K6/4

    Hehehe...was playing some Artcore guitars down at the local and saw this Cort hanging there (was either a K4 or K6). I've only ever played Cort guitars when I was younger and at that time the ones I played felt like strumming a fence. This slightly cheesy little devil-axe was a good bit of fun...

    Have my friend's PRS for the weekend...

    Really nice playing guitar. He keeps it in his office at work (lives in an apartment so doesn't get to play it through his Matchless much anymore). It's actually the first PRS I've played that makes me really want one. I really like the colour too, not too over the top. 1997 Custom 22 Wide...

    Slice n Dice...

    Apologies if this is somewhere already, I did have a (brief) look... What software can I use to chop out part of an MP3 and save it as a different file?

    Taking a guitar to a tropical climate...?

    Any major issues I should be aware of? I'm thinking of taking my mahogany neck-thru maple sided superstrat to a tropical climate for a while...I guess I may have to get the neck adjusted right? Is that difficult on neck-thrus? Better to take a Tele? Was wondering about taking an acoustic too...

    Auto-tune software?

    Hey guys I'm after a decent auto-tune program for use on ProTools on MAudio hardware - running on PC. Just to clean up vocal tracks as a final pass-through... Any recommendations? What are the options out there...? Thanks!

    Band's bass player just got one of these...

    Wow, it's a beautiful instrument. EB Music Man sure know their stuff!! MM StingRay5, in basically this colour combination. Looks better in real life, kind of a Curly Strat blue, and the neck is just amazing... He bought it when he was in LA and saved over US$2,000 by buying it there instead of...

    How do you hold your Pick

    That's Pick with a P I'm mainly talking thumb here. Do you have the side/pad of your thumb on the pick, and hold it pretty straight, or do you have closer to the thumb-tip on it, and allow some flexing, even using a lot of flex in the thumb knuckle? I've generally played with a fairly...

    Finally took some pics of my guitars....

    Well, two of the 5 anyway. The two main guitars I used are generally my G&L Legacy and Nashville Tele, but these two are kinda interesting... This is the first guitar I ever got, when I was about 7-8 years old. Before that I had a baritone ukelele. My parents bought it off a friend of the...

    Pickup lost its thread

    The neck pickup on my Tele, an SD stack, has lost the thread on the plastic base. So now it wont stay on the screw at all, and just keeps falling down into the cavity... Any ideas on how to fix? The guitar's not really a lot of use until I can get this fixed...

    George Dennis pedal problem - hissssssss

    Anyone had experience with George Dennis pedals? I have a Wah / Volume pedal (optical as per their normal construction) and whenever I put it in a chain with more than 2 or 3 other pedals it introduces a bad hiss into the signal. I tried emailing George Dennis about it a while back and they...
