Hello,

I am trying to set up a home studio and have some questions. Like many novices, I went into Guitar Center with a little bit of knowledge and made purchases based on their suggestions and my budget. Now, I am trying to figure out if I really have the equipment I need for my purposes and if I need to buy a new computer, etc.

I just pre-ordered a brand new Mesa Engineering 4x12 cab with 4 V30's and my question is do you think that the AVT50's 50w of solid state power is enough to break in the speakers at full volume. If so, how long do you estimate it would take?

I need a new set of pups for a strat copy, and was wondering if anyone knew of some resonably priced ones. The tone I'm looking for is very clean, but will accept crunch/gain/distortion/fuzz well. I play reverb clean almost always, but I also need something to get some harsh tones (think 90s rock rythym guitar). I'm looking to spend at the very most $125 for the pickups.

And I can hear the screaming from here. Sorry for putting ya'll throught this again, but I am again in the market for recording equipment. This is what I'm looking at currently: an ART USB dual preamp interface ($100 from Musician's Friend), and some simple mic. Looking at around $200 for the whole setup, including any needed accesories.

Hi there everyone. So... this is actually for a friend of mine who has a home studio, he has two Digi 003 racks, the 8 channel and the 4 channel. He's trying to find a way to link the two together but hasnt been able to. Anyone know if its possible?

I am about to rehead both of my drumsets! (hasn't been done in awhile)

I don't know what heads I want to use on them. I am a big fan of remo, that is all I have ever used, but would not be opposed to try Evans or Aquarian. I am also looking for general tuning tips/recommendations too.

Hi, i finally got a reasonable computer (8GB DDR3; Phenom II x4) after dealing with my wife's 8 year-old gateway (256MB; Pentium) for years. I'm finally ready to delve into some serious production work. I'm using Cubase, Live and/or Reason primarily. I've read a bit about how setting up partitions to seperate operating system from samples, sound clips, etc can help overall performance.

I own a small but good studio. Had a guy call me from at&t yellowpages.com I think. He wanted me to give them about 1k for a year to put me at the top of the list in my town for recording on the site. Not one other studio in town or in any town near us does anything {advertising} through them at all except fot the basic freebee listing.

So has anyone used one of these? Are there advantages to this over a standard type of splitter?

Thanks.

Hi! I have issues recording good guitar tracks from my amplifier and I'd like to pick up a rack guitar processor that can sound good and have good tones.

Any idea of a cheap rack I can get to sound fairly well before mixing?

Thanks a lot! :)
