Maybe this is the wrong forum. I bought a bass cause I have been out of town for a while. I bought a cheap one like for $80. Just to practice. (It's a squier 4 string P bass) Now I need to go back home, and I remember on the way here the plane was really small, and I am pretty sure Im...

Hello, I have a question about power. I am not too familiar with this. In the bars I played so far. In one I connected my amp into an extension (owned by the bar), maybe it was not a power surge. In another i plugged in straight to the wall. Well it was more like an outlet with 4 plugs...

I joined this band recently, and I have been playing their songs. Actually all of the songs are by the singer. After learning all of the songs and playing for a while, I said I would like to bring some of my songs. Now that all of the songs that I played with them, some I like, some I...

I wanted to add some overdrive to my bass and of the band members gave me an OD for a guitar When I connected it, yikes what a feedback i almost go deaf. The volume knob was only at 12 o clock, I had to turn left almost all the way off. Then I was fine, but when I was playing I lost a...

In my eternal quest for tracking drums first, I went to all of the replies to my questions and I am getting it. I need a mixer and a headphone amp. Connect 1 output or 2 of the mixer into the 2 inputs of the Mbox 2, connect the other output of the mixer into the headphone amp. Play the...

I have a Protools with an Mbox2 The mbox 2 has: - 2 analog inputs (you can use instrument or mic) - S/pdif, In/Out - 2 monitors out - Midi, In/out How can I add more analog inputs? How do I connect a mixer? And what would I need one for? (My main problem) What do I need...

I followed the suggestion of recording drums first. I went to a band's practice and recorded their whole set with a portable recorder. Then I added each song into a track, that the drummer could listen to. Now the drummer complained all the time that he could not hear the song too well...

Someone asked me to mix a song for him. He basically recorded voice, guitar and bass. He asked me to record drum loops. He only had the song as a full mp3 and not as single tracks, so when I open the file is a stereo track. I recorded the drums with a midi in another track. When I...

I am looking to save on buying a bunch of monitors for recording. It would be cool if there is a monitor that simulates many equipment with the push of a button. For example, an Ipod, a car radio, a laptop, a stereo, etc. Is there something like that?

Could somebody give me some tips on what to do. I played last month in a gig, and the sound guy recorded this. Just until now he sent me a copy. I am listening and I messed up on a couple of lines. But when I played I couldn't really listen to these lines, it was just playing by memory...

I read many articles and saw a couple of videos on how to setup the neck relief. I think I understand the theory, but the practice is something else. I tried to sight it, but when I see down the bass I dont see anything wrong. There also the credit card trick but I still dont get it...

A few weeks ago I had a gig, but they only confirmed to me 1 week in advance. So I was only able to promote for 1 week. I was expecting at least 50 people to show up, but only 15 did, none of them were our fans. It was kind of a so so day weather-wise. It has been raining, but it had...

And I mean gig! I would like to hear anybody else's first time in a gig ever. My first time I had 2 beers, had to pee in the middle of the gig, played very lightly when I thought I was messing up. I was sober, drunk, and hangover in only 1 hour and with 2 beers. What did u do to calm...

I got a Midi keyboard Axiom 49, which only came with a USB cable I also got an Mbox and Protools So I connected my keyboard USB to my computer. Now what? The manual was very vague. It only said to install the drivers and it went right away on using it. There was no info on how to install...

I am doing demos for a band for very cheap, as I am still learning. I have to say that I am good at it, thanks to reading these forums and reading articles on the web. I am having problems tracking the drums. My current process is: - Track guitar - Track vocals - Track bass - Track...

I left some equipment at the practice space we are sharing with another band. One of the members of our group is friends with some of the band's members and we actually help with the rent. What I heard is that they are very professional as they gig frequently and the bassist (who i never...

I have 2 speakers that connect to my stereo with bare wire. Each has 1 black/1 red wires. My mbox input is a 1/4 female. How can I convert the bare wires to 1/4 male jack? Can I just cut a speaker cable that has a 1/4 male jack and tape the ends to my bare wire speaker cables?

I was replying to an ad and it says something like "if you don't play with a pick don't reply". What the heck. I never really was interested on playing with a pick as I think it was too bright. Besides If I want to sound bright I can change the tone and play with the bridge PU. Kind of like...

I defretted the bass, put wood filler and was on the process of finishing with polyurethane. I sanded after each brush of poly. Did 3. After the 3rd one I see some white patches, and it doesn't shine on those anymore. The shining is uneven actually. So I thought I didnt sand it properly...

I did all the mixing of a song and ready to bounce. I bounced and convert to wav. When I listen to the song and compare to a regular CD, my song sounds too low. If I say (example) the Metallica CD sound level is normal at 3. Mine I have to pump it up to 6 (On a scale from 1 to 10). At 3 I...

I am replacing pickups and installing basslines. I followed the instructions and soldered the cables. I am screwing down the pickups to the body, but the top pickup always seems loosen. If I flip the body up and down I can hear the pickup hitting the pickup case very lightly. Also...

I remember years ago I was in a music store and they had a box connected to a guitar. When you played it, it sounded like a piano. Does anybody know what box was this? I am looking to simulate piano, drums, and any exotic guitar (meaning asian and/or european).

Maybe this not the correct forum. But I would like to get info on copyrights for band name and songs. How do i do this. Do I need to hire a lawyer, or can you do it yourself. When is the time to do this? When you cut an album or as early as possible. I mean what are the chances you will...

I saw a fender P bass on a pawn shop this weekend for like $300. I didn't try it, but I am sure I can test it, open it, check the neck and body. What worries me is that it could have been stolen, and then somebody is looking for it. How do I make sure of this. Is there a website where...

I feel the relationship with my Mbox2 is like a marriage. We fight, we forgive, we fight some more. I married him 3 years ago maybe more. Right out of the box I couldn't make it work. Every time I tried saving, a couple seconds later it stopped cause some buffer error. I checked the manual...

I have been playing with this new band for a couple of months. Everybody is nice and we get along well. Although I don't consider them my friends, as the only interaction with them is at rehearsals and gigs. We don't call each other for drinks or meet at each others houses. Although I think...

Could somebody please explain me the process of recording a demo? I am trying to get a quote, but $120 per hour c'mon, are you crazy, you are not a lawyer! Can you give some guidelines or some links, I feel like really stupid when they talk about mastering and stuff like that, and then I...

I have a friend who is selling her squier jazz bass for like $75. It is exactly this one: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I tested the bass and there is nothing wrong with it. It sounds ok. She just owes me a big favor and she is giving this bass cheap. I am thinking on buying it and...

The one Marcus Miller used to play with Miles Davis or something similar. The Fodera e-store doesn't not even carry their own line of basses. Unless I am looking at the wrong place. I don't find pricing either by doing a google search. But I think...they must be expensive,

So today I went to a friend's house and he had this little funny looking instrument. Which was an Ashbory bass. Never heard of it. So I play for like 10 minutes and this string breaks so fast and hard that scared the heck out of me. I was reading through the forum and I guess these strings...

I have to say that I had few experiences going to giant concerts. Once I went to a techno festival, in which Prodigy was playing and it was so not worth it. Apparently there was something wrong with the sound and I could not hear anything, just a bunch of noise. I ended up leaving. (And I...

Anybody can suggest an amp for less than $500, either used or new. I don't have much experience with amp/cab gear. Besides the ones I had used in rehearsal places. I have used a GK 600 amp, through a ?? cab. But I never liked the sound, maybe I didn't know how to tweak it properly. Reliability...
