I really enjoyed the bass amp thread, so i thought it would be fun to have another thread on recording guitars. i guess I'm being selfish and i want this for my own benefit, but lets talk about music styles and whatnot.

I'm new to this today and I'm also a newbee in digital recording. Please forgive my ignorance but I guess I have to start somewhere! Can I send from either the direct outs, sub sends or aux sends of my Mackie to the q10 1/4" inputs? Will I run into a problem with using the mic preamps on the mixer and putting the signal into the preamps of the Aardvark Q10? Thanks very much

I produce most of music through FL Studio and do the rest with Cubase. I am currently looking into purchasing adobe audition 1.5 and my question is does the program has a window that displays a separate mixing board with the assigned tracks? I called Adobe and they didn't know what I was talking about.

Ive got $1000 to spend on new monitors because my actual M-Audio BX-5s are not good at all. What would you recommend for this budget?
this is what ive been looking,

Dynaudio BM5A Active
Mackie HR824
Alesis 820 DSP

any suggestions on any other set of monitors will be really appreciated.

I am having some funny problems with my midiverb 4. It powers on and looks to be fine but I can't get very much signal level through it at all. Granted led meters are not perfect but if I run it through my effects loop from a Peavey SR 2400 board and crank the levels to "10" the Midi verb barely registers its getting any level.

What sort of compression would you recommend as a starting point for Distorted Elec Gtrs, Clean Elec and Acoustic Guitars (threshold, ratio, atack, rel)

Also I have T-Racks and also Wavelab (Waves plugins, Ozone etc). What would you guys recommend for mastering?

This should be an easy one for those with experience building a DAW.
I'm putting it together today. My 2 IDE devices are 1- 80GB Seagate Hard Drive and 1- Pioneer DVD-RW. My questions are:

1) Should I plug the HD into the PRI_IDE and the DVD/RW into the "SEC_IDE" port on the mobo?

Hi Guys
I have N.I. guitar Rig and I cannot install it on my PC.
Ihave tried installing it on other peoples PC and it installs fine. But Not on mine.
Running Cubase SX3.
I have installed Native Instruments FM7 Synth but having a hell of a time with Guitar Rig.

Each time I try to install the set up.exe file it just hangs on me.

Hi guys

Want to roll new DAW and would like to know if anyone has used the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe with an Athlon CPU? Am looking at the Athlon XP3500+ - any horrible experiences to look out for?
