I've decided that I'm gonna wait on the Super Studio.

I started with nothing and still have most of it left. My current “house” would not meet HUDs standards (American free housing for the poor). However, my gear racks would almost satisfy Mutt Lange. Well, maybe not. You get the point. I get the feeling from a housing standpoint, that my situation isn't much different than some of the rougher portions of Poland...or Detroit. I've invested my cash in my craft and not luxuries ...

I was having problems getting my reamped tracks to sound as good as the real thing. I was beginning to wonder if reamping was fundamentally flawed until Rockerdude made this awesome post.

After fHumble fHingaz posted his blind test and watching this AWESOME video by Ethan Winer I'm all excited about kicking off the Audio Skeptics Society.

I haven't used a Mac since 1999 till the other day my friend I'm working with on some visual arts brings hers. Of course, it's second hand, and full of problems, not helping my pre-conception of Mac's. Aren't they supposed to "just work" ? I have yet to use one that runs rapidly AND reliably.

Ok, I got everything plugged in my Tascam DP-02 unit. I have my headphones plugged. My mic works fine when I record so no problem there. Its just when I hook my tascam up to my i-pod or my soundboard monitor and record the beat the music plays and I can here it well while its recording. But when I playback its so low to where you could barely here it. Plz!! need help!!! P.s. my fades and volume are completely up and its still low as can be.
