Here are a couple of good resources:
http://www.studiotips.com/
http://www.johnlsayers.com/
Also, check out http://insulationworld.com/prodView.asp?idproduct=631
This is 8 lb./cubic foot mineral board, like the stuff Auralex sells,
but for about half the price.
Good luck!

Hi,
I used Roxul <www.roxul.com> safe&sound. it is accoustically rated
(somewhat), fire retardant and has worked excellently....and you can get
it a home depot...

d
enough power to proberly render the lows, get an akg or sennheiser mic
on it, and let'r rip!
I just bought a Vai axe myself, the chrome one (seein' as how my band's
called chrome..hehehe..), very nice alternative to my gold js2000. With
that axe you should get some nice crunch.

>Hi James,
It starts with a good guitar, well setup. Your Ibanez can be setup to
sound good, and a new guitar will need the same thing too.
You can get away with murder live, but when recording, a bad setup
will become quickly and painfully obvious.
Setup is getting the neck straight, checking and maybe dressing
the frets, dialing in the intonation, setting the nut height, setting the
PU height. These things will make a huge difference. Get a pro
to do this for you. It is worth the 50 bucks or so.
Get a *good* tuner. this is vital. I use a Peterson V-Sam.
http://www.petersontuners.com/products/modelvsam/index.cfm
It also has a nice metronome in it. They also have a software tuner
that I was a beta tester for. Works really well.
http://www.strobosoft.com/
Peterson offers a sweetened tuning for guitar that really works.
Once your guitar sound terrific, then you can record it.
I hate Pod's and J-Stations. I hate modelors in general, but they
do a lot better with a nice preamp in front of them.

The preamp
buffers the signal (the modeling people don't pay much attention
to analog circuit design) and warms it up.
I have used a Matchless Hot Box for a front end, (on clean only)
and it doubled the tone quality of a modeler. They are NLA, but the
Bad Cat 2-Tone is very similar.
http://www.badcatamps.com/pedals.asp
I've also used a Barber Tone Press as a front end for modelers and
it works well too.
http://www.barberelectronics.com/tonepress.htm
The M-Audio Black Box is derived from the Roger Linn Adrenalinn.
I fippin' *love* the Adrenalinn. Really cool sounds and very decent
models.
Check out the demos
http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/
Here's where all of the boxes fall apart though. Power guitar that is
central to the tune. You *must* have an amp for that. Heavy,
powerful chords and killer lead tone are still best from an amp, and
the best way to do this is with a great low-power amp.
I got one of these:
http://www.thdelectronics.com/products/univalve.htm
Pick your output and input tubes. With an EL34 on the output it
puts out 15 watts and through a 4x12 you can play all day and
not go deaf. Sounds like a huge stack. Really cool and really
recordable. Mic it up with 2 mics, play with the spacing, and you
are rocking.

If the free space on a hard disk falls to below 10% of the size of the

double-click My Computer, hit F5, and click once on C:. The drive's
capacity and free disk space will appear in the lower pane of the

does impact your system more than what most people realise because of
multiple factors.....read on.
Delete all TMP files (temporary files)
Temp files are where the computer places information temporarily while
it writes that information to disk or waits for you to tell it where
that information is to go. What happens if you have heaps of TMP files
in your computer is that the computer goes to create the 00001.TMP file
and that name is already taken up by another file so it then tries to
use 00002.TMP file and if that one exsists I'm sure you can guess what
then happens....All this wastes both a computers time and power...

THD Univalves are about 900.00 USD but I have seen them in
the 600.00's on Ebay. I don't know what your version of a
low budget is, but that is about as cheap as great tube amps get
these days. You can change the preamp and output tubes around
and get very different tones. Both the clean and the dirty tones
are stellar. You will need a speaker cabinet.
>Back to the box, what about the Johnson J-Station?
I did not care for it. YMMV.
Just to put some perspective into all this...
I had to remix an old track I did with a Sansamp years ago,
and I was able to get a pretty decent tone out of it. Surprised me.
It still sounds good. In reality, it is much more a great guitar and
a great engineer that makes this stuff sound good. As soon as
someone sez "you gotta have-a yadda yadda" someone does a
great track with a box. It's vision in how you use the gear that
really matters. Great playing helps too... snork...
If I was buying something on a budget, I would look *real* hard at
the Adrenalinn II or the Black Box version of it. Get your guitar
setup and dialed in, then take it to the store and have them plug
the box into studio monitors. Chase the wankers away and play it
for a while. Go one a Tuesday morning when the store is empty.
I really like the Adrenalinn. You may too.

Max CPU is XP 3200 (I'm using XP 2800) If you're using 4 x EDS cards with
this mobo, you will need a PCI expansion chassis as Slot 2 and 6 are hard
wired to share IRQ with the AGP. I don't use DX or VST plugins for mixing in
Paris any more so CPU cycles for plugins aren't a critical issue for me. the
A7V8X is very stable with 3 x EDS cards a Matrox G450 AGP and a Matrox G450
PCI.

t we can't get things working we'll switch
back to the "known working" unit for a bit till we sort the problem, so outages
should be in the realm of under an hour.
But there may be brief outages from time to time over the next few weeks,
as there have been today. Just letting you know. I'll no doubt inform you
again nearer the time I'm actually moving house.
Cheers,
Kim.low end rumble is most likely coming through the floor if you're on
ground level.

Hehe. Yeh sure! Do it all the time! In fact that's what I enjoy most, and
do most with Paris! I suppose it depends on your approach, I guess, or something.
I'm fully adapted to the idea of "right, hit go, get it right, if you stuff
it up do it again from the start". And I'm used to doing things one verse
at a time or whatever as required, so you just need to get the verse right,
not the whole song. I find I like the pressure of having to nail something
though. Of course things become near impossible if I have just a single stuff
up in the best solo over. Basically you move the solo to a spare track, record
the however-many notes to replace the bad bit, then try and merge the two.
I find it less frustrating than dealing with other musos much of the time
though. ;o)
I guess things are somewhat different though for me dealing with pleb rock
bands than recording the relative perfection of classical musos as I know
you often do. I still have that CD you sent me somewhere of the organ...
must dig it out for another listen.
Cheers,
Kim.Officially only version 3 is supported on XP by "Skunkworks". That said,
there's probably little actual support now for XP anyhow, and version 2.2
actually worked fine while I was using it on XP. I'd opt for 3 simply for
universal compatibility though, and the new features.
Installing both is simple. Simple install one, then install the other. Ignore
any warning to uninstall. The only other complication is that you have to
install the MinimumSetup (effects subsystem) update twice, once for each
install, and make sure you get the path correct for each. Having done that
though you're done. There are no other tricks.
Pace never actually caused me any trouble, though I do bypass it now just
to be sure. ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.

I like SDC mics in ORTF, with the right mic (as you face the guitar) pointed
at the 12th fret, about a foot out, and the left mic pointed sort of in the
direction of the soundhole. I haven't used the Great River (I have GML)
but understand that it is good for this type of thing.
Also, you might consider (obviously not for this project) getting the Jim
Williams (Audio Upgrades) mod for your C460s. Makes a huge improvement.Guy's, I just received notice that a song I co-wrote with Will Downing and
Travis Milliner, "All I Want for Christmas is You" has been nominated in
several categories for awards:
Song of the Year "All I Want for Christmas is You"
Record of thh Year "Christmas Love and You"
Best R&B Album "Christmas Love and You"
Best Traditional R&B vocal "Christmas Love and You"
Best R&B vocal perfomance "All I Want for Christmas is You"
Obviously, it is early on in the running, but good news none the less.

Dimitros,
You said there was a particular version of Wormhole for Paris users.
Is that the latest one on their website or something different?
My goal is to have MIDI softsynths from Cubase playing back in
Paris over LAN realtime or at least less than 10 ms latency. Will =

happen without me even buying an audio card using Wormhole?
