Hello from typically rainly 'ol england.

My band mate (possibly unwisely) bought a second hand Tascam M-16 to use as our recording mixer, and got rid of his Soundcraft Ghost (one of the cheaper ones...but which i thought was a good desk) and it will cost £700 to get the Ta-scam up to scratch at our local electrical repair shop.

my guitar is LTD Deluxe m1000fm i have a damaged 14th fret that has a very tiny cut on it when ever play a note on that fret on B string only then i get a buzz sound i think that needs replacement kindly give me some info like the type of fret wire to replace the old one, i will have to order from abroad and here in our area i will have to do it my self, iv seen some vdos on the youtube regardi

Is there any software which can provide an Echo Loop function and on the fly?

What are your opinions on these three compressors, and in what capacity are they used in different stages of recording?

Foundry Track Compressor (bundled in with Sonar)

Blockfish (from digitalphishphones)

Endorphin (also from digitalphishphones)

Are their any glaring omissions of popular compressors used for specific purposes?

Thank you!

I saw this question asked in the sticky thread, but I believe it got overlooked...

HI,
does anyone have Waves working on the newer Penryn (45nm) processors?

according to Waves tech support:
Waves is not supported on 45 nm processors, no work around and not know when the fix in the future will be.

so lets think about that

I've recently moved completely to vista. I'm using Vista Ultimate 32bit, but I'm having problems with multi-processing in Nuendo 3.2.

Nuendo never uses more than one core (I've got a quad-core cpu), and when I enable multi-processing it gets really choppy, so there is really a disadvantage in turning multiprocessing on for me.

Windows Vista claims to have a feature (ReadyBoost) that can utilize USB thumb drives as RAM.

Anyone ever tried using distortion, overdrive, any generally extreme guitar-amp-esque setups and applying them to violin, flute, etc.?

Just did this a while ago, and it gives violin so much more tone.

PS: I used the Distroyr plugin and turned most of the knobs up a fair bit.

I've been working on a project and one problem that I continually come across is digital distortion. I'm running Pro Tools 7.3 and I'm using a Shure 57 and and RODE Nt -1a for recording vocals and guitar. Regardless of what mic I use for recording a tube amp electric guitar I seem to get some digital clipping.
