I haven't used my Mesa simulclass 2: Ninety power amp in probably two years. When I went to turn it on today, the amp turned on, but the tubes never lit up and I couldn't get a signal. .I had the amp stored in a SKB case where it was dry and cool...

Does anyone know what could be possibly wrong with it? Did the non-use of the tubes have anything to do with the problem?

So i finally got my drums sounding decent, and I'm having trouble getting the guitar sound I'm looking for. before i was mic-ing up my old crate combo and the sound was too weak and ambient. last night i tried plugging the line out of my amp into the mixer and it just sounds too fuzzy and distorted but it isn't overblown... any suggestions. ?

How would I go about trying to recreate the Vocal sound that Johnny Cash has on those American Recordings songs (the last few albums he released). You know the kind of really warm but upclose sound, kinda like he is singing in the same room as you ?

Hello,

this is my first post here! Thank you for a lot of useful information from some very fine engineers!

I keep getting a CPU overload error in Pro-Tools when I bounce. My session is 1 stereo track with no plugins. A stereo master with MaxI'm and dither on it. 24/48k. Low latency is off. When I bounce, I set the conversion quality to low. The HW Buffer size is 1024 samples, 90% CPU usage and 2 processor for the RTAS processor. My Computer info is Below.

Hi,
If you have also faced a problem clocking your legacy interface in the Pro Tools HD environment after version 7 has been released, take a few minutes to read the links below and join the team.

Hiya Folks !

New to the site and will look over the forum over the next few weeks ..

However need suggestions and advice concerning an upgrade to my studio.

For about 4/5 years I've used a samson Servo Amp and a pair of JBL Control 1's for my monitoring needs. However the amp and/or monitors are getting shoddy in their overused old age !

Hello everyone. now this may be somewhat of a "taboo" topic...but I'm very curious an no one can seem to give me a figure. I was wondering how much, on average, a professional studio engineer makes a year. Any ballpark figures would be nice...I know it depends on may factors...but just humor me. Thanks. (if any actual professional engineers wouldn't mind sharing, that would be great)

Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting my recording sound full. At least in my opinion. Here's some samples
