The Steel Guitar Forum

Flame suit ready. I'm gonna suggest the unpopular possibility and probably risk forumicide... I think it's two tracks. The first phrase has that one note dropping a perfect fourth (that's 5 half steps folks! and it sounds like the bar to me) while the rest of it, the upper first and the third vibrat...

This was the show in 2000 after which I was hopelessly hooked. So many great players. I can hardly wait 'till April! http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif ------------------ Robert Hicks - Fessenden S12U http://www.members.home.net/tonejunkie/images/ToneJunkieLogoSmall.gif Home Page: http://www.memb...

... except the part about the dry dog turd. I cannot vouch for their tonal characteristics. You'll have to go on Hoffnar's word I suppose... ------------------ Robert Hicks - Fessenden S12U http://www.members.home.net/tonejunkie/images/ToneJunkieLogoSmall.gif Home Page: http://www.members.home.net/t...

What Bob said... Listen carefully and see what you like. I'm using a Mesa Boogie Triaxis preamp and a SimulClass 2:90 and I'm personally very satisfied. Lots of great amps out there, though.

Todd, Click on my site link below and you can have a look at the extent of my personal recording sickness. When you get to the main page, click on "The Studio" and you can take the grand tour. I use the Tascam DA-88 digital 8 track and the machine is rock solid and sounds amazing; nice A/D...

Ear sex? http://steelguitarforum.com/wink.gif ...I really mean that in the best possible way... Tube on, Jody!

Hi Mark, You'll probably get an empassioned response here for any amp type you might ask about. But I use the Triaxis for both 6 string and steel into a Mesa SimulClass 90:90. I am very, very satisfied with its tonal versatility. I have never not been able to get the tone I was after. But I recommen...

b0b, If I had to guess, it looks like the shared object file or its filesystem inode was damaged somehow. Can you copy the /lib/ld-linux.so.2 shared object file from CD to your hard drive and reboot? If that doesn't do it for you, you may be looking at reinstalling Linux. You can try <BLOCKQUOTE><fo...

b0b, Running # halt [/b] without first syncing the file system can be dangerous. The old school method is - <B><BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre> # sync # sync # halt </pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE></B> The two # sync [/b] commands synchroni...

Sounds reasonable to me!

You bought a bunch recording gear? For a studio in your home? That's crazy! This is the ultimate affliction, you know? I vote for live drums if possible. Otherwise, record manual triggering of MIDI percussion to a sequencer and embelish with real cymbals and hi-hat. Cheers, Robert ------------------...

Martin, I use a Mesa Boogie Triaxis tube preamp and a Mesa Boogie Simulclass 2:90 stereo tube power amp into 2 EV-12 single cabs; Alesis Quadraverb II for light reverb and subtle echo, sometimes a little chorus. I realize my choice is fairly well out of the mainstream, but the palette of tones is ju...

Good luck, b0b. May the force be with you!

Terry nailed it. AutoDesk sells a 'lite' version of their AutoCAD at about $500. Ya need a honkin' PC or lots of time to run it.

A vote from the Mesa camp! Fat wires and tubes sound very nice... ------------------ Robert Hicks - Fessenden S12U http://www.members.home.net/tonejunkie/images/ToneJunkieLogoSmall.gif Home Page: http://www.members.home.net/tonejunkie Email: rhhicks@home.com

I plan to get an earful of that Twin this Friday!

Jim, You might consider getting in touch with Dave Van Allen on this Forum. I believe he is an IVL SteelRider fan.

rayman, I'm afraid I don't know which DOD processor you are using. But many such devices will supply a "volume" or "output" or "master" knob, something like that, that controls output level of the device. What box are you using? Cheers P.S. - Your initial post said the ...

Chuck's is great. They'll meet or beat any legitimate price. A bit more of a trek though if you're coming from north of Baltimore. Van, do you think you'd be satisfied with the low end from an 8"? Cheers ------------------ Robert Hicks - Fessenden S12U http://www.members.home.net/tonejunkie/ima...

Hey Van, You're up near Padonia, right? I do like the folks at Bill's in Catonsville, but price check at the MARS or the Guitar Center up on Joppa Rd. first. Bill's usually prices out higher, but they'll match the other guys. Cheers ------------------ Robert Hicks - Fessenden S12U http://www.members...

rayman, Gain staging is the audio engineer's practice of optimizing amplification through various devices or various circuits within a device. Since you are hooking together a variety of audio devices, you have become an audio engineer, even if against your will. Your mission as an audio engineer is...

I'm using a Mesa SimulClass 2/90. Great tone. Lots of punch. Can be used as a Class A, Class B or Class A/B. And with 90 watts RMS / 8 ohms each side, they push EV-12L cabs just fine. Tyack, your tone rules on Blackened Toast! 'Course that's just my plaid point of view... Cheers ------------------ R...

I'm using a total tube path - Mesa Boogie Triaxis preamp driving a Mesa Boogie SimulClass 2/90 power amp. The steel sounds stunning through it. I use it for fretted 6 string electric also.

Hi Bill, Sounds like you're playing back MP3 files with MediaPlayer. The intent of this program is to allow you to playback audio files that have been compressed (to reduce size) using the MP3 compression scheme. When you hit a link on the Internet that is to an MP3 file and your browser knows to op...
