    Wanted: DAW with Ease of use and Lots of instrument plug-ins ??

    There's also Studio One, Ableton Live, and the new Bitwig Studio that's in beta. I haven't used any of these personally, but I'm hearing a lot of good things. I use Reaper personally, but I'm not doing VSTi's, though I think Reaper can handle it anyway.

    Mass at one end and not the other?

    Seems to me like the nut is the actual point at which the string vibrates, not all the way to the tuner. The nut will vibrate the neck, so the mass is in the neck and to a lesser extent, the body on the bridge end. A high mass bridge would promote better coupling to the body, and the string...

    First home recording experience looking for advice

    Feels pretty tight in terms of rhythm section, though the bass is a bit too up front and that plus guitars is drowning out the vocals. Not sure if that's the limiter or what that's causing the vocals to drop when the song comes in, but there's a noticeable drop in volume.

    Sick of the normal pedals

    Electro Harmonix has some really interesting pedals. They might not all float your boat, but there could be something there to inspire you.

    Can't hear myself while recording.

    Are you guys playing in the same room? Seems like your issue is related to drums and guitar being too loud outside of the mix in the room. You can try these things for "more me": http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SPhones/...

    Head for $600-$800 to go with Eden D410XST

    Yeah, not a bad idea. I'll let him take over. I'm just more of a tech /gear guy and I have been through this big-buy process before. Just wanted to put the right info/detail (in my experience) in a post to get the right type of responses...which seem to be coming in nicely. Thanks!

    Head for $600-$800 to go with Eden D410XST

    So I'm looking for an amp that can do 2ohm or 8ohm loads? How much loss in volume and what loss in tone characteristics are we talking here from running a 4ohm head to an 8ohm cab? Also, I thought impedance mismatching was a very bad idea, and stepping down in a SS amp (8ohm head to a 4ohm...

    Hey guys, First post here. I put this up at The gear page, but I figured this would be a better forum for the question, so here it goes: I'm putting in this thread for my bass player who's running a Fender MIM passive P-Bass, and currently into a crappy Ampeg 115 100watt combo for shows...
