My amp is making a very noisy hissing sound during playing and when i'm not playing how ever the hissing stops when i put the amp into standby mode to keep the tubes warm whilst idle..

The amp also makes crackling sounds too.

I have a 6505 combo peavy amp. . what could this sound be?

Any help is much appreciated.

Say you doing a live sound set up and the place is empty whilst you set up.. how do you prepare for the difference in sound when the place is full whilst setting up in an empty place.

I keep gettng the error ran out of 82 byte tokens then the computer freezes up and I have to manually reboot whenever I use the Mackie control universal going through the MIDISPORT. If I take the midisport out of the chain, no problems. when I use it with Cubase 4, no problems. Im using a PC with windows XP. can anyone help

I probably sound like and idiot but can someone explain ENG to me. What does it stand for and when someone asks for it, what are they expecting?

Thanks

hi everyone, i have a grace 101 that i want to plug into my firepod. if i use one of the line inputs on the back of the firepod, am i completely avoiding the firepod pres? i did a quick comparison and there's definitely a significant difference when the signal is mic>grace>firepod input 1 on the front, as opposed to mic>grace>line input 1 on the back.

So here's the big question, what's the difference between reamping a digital signal through an analog reel-to-reel machine to obtain analog compression and color, and recording directly onto the tape and digitalizing that signal? What's the best way to go?

I had a question about finding an interface that was compatible with an Mbox2 that allowed me to record 8 mono tracks into Pro Tools. Can someone throw a few suggestions at me? Thanks

I am looking to up the quality of my "mbox 2" "usb 2" set up. I am willing to spend around $1000 for a quality preamp, but I get mixed messages. Some people tell me to get a higher quality a/d converter before I spend too much on a preamp. But I figure since my set up only allows for 48k transfer rate, that I should focus on getting some nicer preamps first.

I have an M-Audio 88ES that I run into Cubase SX3 using Eiderol's Orchestral VSTi.
