Clearing up a few boxes I came across an old VHS recording from 1984 - recorded at the RAF base in Lakenheath, UK. Watching it for a bit of nostalgia made me think.

For those who can't stand Big Band music, stop reading now.

I was putting the beginnings of a mix together this morning, working with the drum tracks.

The kick and snare are both live - the kick is an ancient Ludwig 22" from the 60's; it looks like it's been run over by a truck, but it sure still sounds good. ;) ( I have three vintage snares, a '68 Black Beauty, a '71 Suprasonic, and a Rogers wood snare).

These are some of the finest "classic-sounding" grand piano samples I've ever heard.

Hi all,

Please critique my mix:

Its a song I wrote a while ago - I retracked the bass, guitars and vocals, improved the drums and remixed with more experience. What do you think?

Hi! Has anyone invented a pedalboard for guitar that runs VST plugins? I've got great tones for my recordings using VST amps like Amplitube, but can't reproduce them live on stage because I can't run a VST.

I saw the vPed. It looks great, but I can't get it here in the States.

Hope I'm in the right sub-forum!

Thanks!

Hello everyone.

I have a very annoying problem in Cubase 5. When I connect my digital keyboard to my computer and I select a VST instrument, for example, RealStrat, I can play and record, but I can't load any presets to the VST instrument, as they can be distortion or effects. I also noticed that when I open the audio menu I can't select any option in it.

I use Windows 8.1.

I have a 22 yr old Furman,One of the lights went out..I went on line and Furman now use a LED..Is this just a burnt out light bulb?..It is stuck in there How can I get it out and what light bulb would I use to replace it with?

I have an t.c.M-One XL multi effects unit and I'm wondering if it's possible to utilize a few different effects at the same time using buses in logic though separate program channels via the http://en.wikiaudio…"]Multi Instrument[/]="
