The Steel Guitar Forum

I have a friend who wants to record When The Saints Go Marching In on his trumpet. I offered to create a track for him and do the recording. Can anyone suggest a good RealTrack style for the song? He wants a ragtime style but would be find with a more contemporary style too. Thanks in advance. Possi...

This is not my guitar but it's identical. Better picture than I could take.

I was talking to Barry Thomas today about my Carter problem. I only play on the E9 neck and it will play hot and loud for a while, and then get quieter or totally quiet. Eventually, it goes back to full volume. Barry suggest that my neck selector switch might be bad. And after playing some more for ...

Who can change the pot in my 2 Goodrich pedals?

Is there any place in the Oklahoma area that can work on my Nashville 1000?

They're $60 online. This one came with a mixer I bought and I never used it. The bag has been sitting in a box for the last year. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GMixer1515--gator-g-mixerbag-1515-mixer-bag I simply don't need it. Could make a good laptop case too. Feel free to make an offer.

I would miss B to Bb on a vertical lever.

I had some bluegrass buddies over this weekend for a little jam. I only wanted to play bass and I took my Nashville 1000 since I don't have a bass amp anymore. I know it's not a bass amp but I thought it would be fine because I was the only electric instrument and we weren't very loud. I plugged in ...

I have a new(old) roll of Essex 43g magnet wire. Anybody winding pickups? I'm not even sure what it's worth.

Selling my Phonic Helix Board 18 FireWire MKII Mixer/Audio Interface. Stock photos bellow but mine is mint condition. It's been in my home studio, never out in public, always covered when not in use. Manufacturer's box included. $150 and I'll split the shipping with you (or make an offer.) I'm in Ok...

I did this once before... 1. Play a drum part (like snare) on my desk and record it as a wav/audio track. 2. Drag the wav onto a MIDI track and Melodyne converts it to MIDI data. 3. The MIDI notes are not all the same note. How do I easily convert them all to the same note? C4, for example. I want t...

Wow!

WARNING: Back up your data first. You will lose everything.

Reinstalling Windows makes your computer snappy again. Takes about an hour.

Looks like the Behringer board only records 2 tracks at a time.

I came across the Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD today. 4 channels and USB. No drivers to install according to a YouTube review I watched. I think I might sell my M-Audio M-Track and get one of these. Might even sell my Phonic mixer. I don't do much group stuff anyway. 4 inputs should be plenty for me ...

Behringer XENYX X2442USB Mixer vs Phonic Helix Board 18 Firewire MKII

Does anyone have experience with both of these board for recording? I currently have the 2nd one but I'm considering a change to a USB model like the Behringer.

Any thoughts?

Usually a Studio Projects C1.

b0b, I turn off the AC when tracking. Although, I did forget to turn it off one time. It was a pretty good vocal track so I used one the noise plugins to clean it up. Still leaked a little noise at the beginning and end.

I'm recording mostly bluegrass. So direct is not really an option.

The original question remains.

Well, I have pretty much every iteration of Cakewalk since it was called Cakewalk. Thinking about switching to Studio One. I probably already have the plugin. I have lots of them. But that still doesn't fix the real issue.

My rent house is literally 20 feet from a highway. Cars, trucks, semis drive by about every 30 seconds. My computer sits right in front of my bedroom window with a window unit AC/heater. Road noise comes through the window and probably through the AC unit even more. This make getting a clean recordi...

I used to be a decent pedal steel player. I'm not Paul Franklin but I could hold my own. I haven't played in several years. Had a chance to sit in with a group last night at their practice... mostly just to listen to some songs they want to record. I can't play pedal steel anymore. About all I could...

I also intend to record some bluegrass tunes this summer but I doubt any guitar VST would be helpful on that.

Still, I'd be interested in ideas on this topic as well as the one above.

Furthermore, anyone interested in collaborating on some tunes? I could use a good fiddle player. Maybe piano.

Which guitar effects do you guys use? I plan to record some tunes while I'm done teaching for a few months. I have some free plugins and a few that came with Cakewalk iterations though the last 20 years or so. I play country tunes so I'll need something for Strat and Tele sounds. I like Vince Gill, ...

I installed Sonar from the new guys. Also installed the Studio One demo. Haven't recorded anything yet but it looks like everything is still there. Thanks for the tip.
