    Ever hate a song so much you'd risk being fired?

    Tom Petty's "Free Falling." The song is so bad The Heartbreakers wouldn't do it and it ended up on his solo album. We used to play it and it sucked horribly. The drummer keeps bringing it up as an option and I keep threatening to quit

    Best DAW for the price/ease of use

    Anyone know PerSonus Audiobox/Studio 1??

    Went with ASIO drivers and latency problems seem to be solved. Thanks!

    Anyone know PerSonus Audiobox/Studio 1??

    I just downloaded Reaper 4. I had it installed and tracking in less than 10 minutes. Everything worked great, although I do have some latency issues to overcome. An individual use license cost $60, so I'm happy for now

    Anyone know PerSonus Audiobox/Studio 1??

    I don't want to sound like I'm trashing Studio 1. I'm new to recording and there is very little in the way of info. I just spent an hour putzing around and was able to sort of lay some tracks. It is a steep learning curve. Admittedly, all my problems are "Operator error." As a "lite" program...

    Anyone know PerSonus Audiobox/Studio 1??

    Just got the AudioBox 44 VSL USB2.0 with Studio One Artist. The box is excellent quality, but the software is a challenge. I say that; allow me to qualify myself. I know NOTHING about computer recording. The software installed trouble free into a Windows 7 system, and I did follow the directions...

    Best laptop for recording ( $500 max )

    I just picked up a Lenovo Thinkpad E420 with 4 GB RAM & a 320'GB hard drive @7200 rpm. I'll be running Cubase on it. I'm $400 into it at the moment. Will keep you posted on how well it works

    Any good guitar shops in NH?

    I know you said "besides Daddy's", but the Daddy's in Nashua has always done right by me.

    First truss rod adjust

    Excellent info. But in the interest of spoon feeding me, do I need to loosen the strings first or can I just make the adjustment. Thanks
