   I don't understand about the TRS input modules, but I do understand recording a dry signal and then applying effects digitally. Or even running the recorded signal through analog effects. While I don't have a big problem with that in theory (re...(more)

   Thanks Trevor, I can't say no to that! My budget is $200-300. I am definitely getting something but it has to improve both activities. Therefore, some sort of USB audio interface for guitar is out.

   I am going to get a new sound card soon. After about a year away from the guitar, I've starting playing again and am having loads of fun. I want to record music again and not have to fight with high background noise. Also, a *decent* recordin...(more)

   I tried to see if reverb was turned on in my Soundcard environemntal settings and it was off. I don't think reverb is turned on by default in CoolEdit but I'll have to check that.

   I'm going from SM57-->preamp-->Soundcard. I'm just trying to record sound effects for a mini movie, ice cubes clinking in a glass, that kind of stuff. My wife will get a kick out of the blanket but I'll give it a try.

   I am tying to record some sounds on my computer (not guitar) and I'm getting more reverb than I'd like. Are there simpe ways in which I can reduce the amount of reverb?

   I'm a big fan of the cure. I mean painful urination is no fun...... oh wait. The Cure. Ahh.. Just a little too 'lipstick' for my tastes.

   I am thinking about rebuilding my computer and I'm considering getting a recording oriented (low end) sound card. My question is, should I bother? My favorite past times are guitar and gaming and I'll need something adequate for both. Are th...(more)

    You can buy them at target or walmart. I have one that I switch off with a regular toothbrush. IT works pretty well, but not in the morning IMHO. I prefer to use it at night. And you don't really brush with it. You just sort of set it on yo...(more)

    best album, the box set :) best song?!?!?! jeez. Umm, Over the Hills and Far Away. I (try) to play a lot of zep, but I always come back to that song. I just love the contrast of the acoustic with the crunch of the electric.

    Personally I never understand why one would purposely start out to be so limited in their thinking. IMHO, a guitar sounds best when in skilled, talented hands to be sure; however, a painter, talented or ameteur, doesn't say "I'm only going to ...(more)

    I have a Dunlop 535Q Wah and sometimes I get this ugly sound. I hear it sometimes when the pedal is rocked all the way back (front of pedal is up) and I call it "bottoming out". I used to get the same sound out of my BOSS GT-3 under the same c...(more)

    Sometimes you can stow a guitar in the coat rack closet if a lot of people don't put their coats there. Depends on the flight. Once I flew with my beater acoustic and the flight attendant was very cool and bascially said she'd make sure it m...(more)

    http://www.ebaumsworld.com/mechanic.html This is an audio prank on a woman about repairs that need to be done on her car. Not exactly a "rookie" joke, but still funny regardless of which sex the joke is being pulled on.

    If you want to use a mic but don't want to spend a bunch, try the Shure SM57. Apparently they are/were an industry standard. You can get them on e-bay for next to nothing or you can get them new for about $70
