I have a used Trident -65 that I got last year and I am just about to get a tech to look at it.

A few times it did something that concerned me and recently it has been doing this more often:

The EQ lights will go out with the green solo light in the center of the board dimly lit.

my friends and I are building a mobile recording studio and we are just starting out.We purchased a Alien Ware laptop with 2.6 P4 and orderd the layla laptop.we are new with this business and we would appreciate some advice on our setup.Since we have been unable to find the best setup information we are asking for help and pointer.For recording hard core music preferably.

Ok...I have been recording for a few months with a Tascam 788, a few pre's and compressors, and then exporting 24-bit .wav files from the 788 to the computer for editing.

OK, I have near field monitors and head phones as my tools for mixing. For the most part I can get everything to sit well in the mix until I cut to CD and play my work on other systems.

The problems is I do not know how the bass levels will turn up on other systems. Is there a rule of thumb that might help at setting bass levels using near field monitors.

Any thoughts on this machine? They are reasonable, price wise on Ebay (for me anyway) and was wondering if anybody has had any experience they could share with me. I noted that this one is 20-bit and not the old 16 and wonder if the difference is audible.
Thanks, Beau Landry.

Hi Guys...
i built a new machine and i need to change my sound card.. 'cos my old machine will continue to use my Layla20.

I need to buy another Sound Card to work with this new machine ( Dual Athlon 2000+ - ASUS A7M266-D 1GB Ram ).. what do u suggest ?

The style is heavy rock and I need the best electric(distorted) guitar sound I can get cause it will be up front in the mix. If it could sound like the Ross Robinson trademark or the Ozzy Osbourne albums it would be perfect.

I may rent an Avalon VT737 preamp for that, but I need some advise on micing. will probably record two tracks and pan them L-R.

Hello,

OK, I tried asking this question in the "MIDI" forum, but haven't gotten a clear answer in over a week so I thought I'd try here.

Is it possible to start/stop a sequencer with my Boss GT-3 guitar fx foot pedal? I'd like to be able to do this for live applications. I know I can start and stop a sequencer with midi, but can a guitar fx pedal control this?

I've heard that there are physical groove reasons why the bass must be dead-center for vinyl pressings.

I, like everyone, dig the punch of a mono bass in lock-step with a kick, but...

There are times, though, that I run across either the urge or the need (!) to do a *really* wide bass either split-delayed l/r @10ms, or actually 2 different hard-panned bass sounds.
