Thanks. So I haven't started any programs yet based on the same principal. It seems that the most successful audio engineers are DIY anyways. Unfortunately I haven't purchased any more equipment and most of my focus outside of my day job has been on my band and the gear associated with that. But I h...

So I've been having a major problem with noise and my effects chain. My setup is currently: Guitar->Distortion->Compressor->Reverb->Tremolo->Delay->SKB PS-45 Board/Power Conditioner->A-B Switch I need the A-B Switch so I can switch between the two channels on my Fender Bassman. This seems to be the ...

Battles and Broken Social Scene, two bands which I really like, are playing the same time slot this Saturday.

I must make a choice between the two. So I'm leaning towards seeing Battles. I heard they're great live. But I'm still on the fence.

Any advice?

So I must admit that I am very disappointed that Pearl Jam is going to be the headliner at this year's Lollapalooza festival. It's not that I hate them. But of all the bands that have come out in the past, say 10 to 15 years, I can't help but question why these festivals always try to dig up some di...

Hi everybody, I want to start recording my band's shows for reference, but not for any kind of production. I want to buy a low-end digital recorder similar to the ones that people use to make "notes to self" and what-not. But I want to make sure that the quality would be decent enough for ...

Are there any user-friendly programs out there that can help you create some decent looking fliers? Neither me nor my bandmates can draw, so we will probably just want to manipulate existing photography and artwork, maybe insert some graphics on the layout, and lay on some text. I thought of using C...

Thanks for the insight, Vockins. It think the guy we've been dealing with is named John, but I could be wrong. He's got messy brown hair, is kind of skinny, and is just a little tweaked out. The volume factor that you mentioned concerns me a lot, since we are also a very loud band and would consider...

Vockins.......please elaborate if you can.

Hi everyone. Our band is not happy with our current rehearsel space and we are thinking about moving to the new warehouse on Ogden and Grand run by Music Garage. The guys just built the studio and are straight from New York where another studio is currently up and running. I just wanted to see if an...
