    Is worth using pro tools 12 in a home studio? without HDX systems.

    There's a forum and videos on their site, but for basic functionality, not much different than any other DAW.

    Is worth using pro tools 12 in a home studio? without HDX systems.

    ProTools is INSANELY expensive and is a resource hog. ProTools is the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) equivalent of Gibson and Fender - overpriced and coasting on name recognition while their quality control continues to slide ever farther down. There are a LOT of worthwhile DAWs out there, but...

    Fucking love black Friday

    I picked up a Syn pickup set, and a bunch of plugins for the home studio. 2020 will see me write and record a LOT of new material, if I have my way.

    Guitar Fault - HELP!!!

    Before paying someone, get some electrical contact cleaner spray from the hardware store. Open the back electronics cavity, locate the pickup selector switch, and spray the shit out of it, while flipping the pickup switch on the front back and forth with your other hand. Let it dry for a minute...

    Holding pick like Synyster Gates

    You have to find your own way, following the basic guidelines in the lesson. I have tried how Syn holds it. I may as well be playing a lefty guitar strung with steamed noodles.

    Nightmare solo cover with a FENDER ;)

    A *LOT* of elitist snob guitarists (yes, there really are some - haha!) shit all over Line6 stuff, but they're stupid and dead wrong. L6 has a lot of quality gear. I had a Pod HD500 that was a killer rig for me, save one caeat - it had bad cab emulation, and you couldn't add your own. That may...

    What Do You Specialize In? PLEASE READ🤘

    Intermediate guitar tech stuff, computer shit, basic home recording, assorted nonsense and accumulated "get off my lawn" knowledge. AxeFX stuff, but a lot of guys and gals here are advancing on this way quicker than I.

    Cabinet Choices

    4x12s are becoming a bit passe, with most going for 1x12 or, more commonly, 2x12 cabinets. Most cabs with a closed back and Celestion V30s are really strong choices for metal, up to the very heaviest shit, but it really comes down to what your ear hole likes.

    How did you start with tech?

    There are luthiery classes you can find in major cities that can teach that stuff. I don't get beyond moderately advanced maintenance.

    How did you start with tech?

    Active require special volume and tone pots and stuff and the battery. I have taped a battery ins did the electronics cavity before,but i wouldn't recommend it. As for getting started altogether, it's bravery and trial and error,mostly. At least for me. I had my first guitar and i was just...

    New Album

    It's not an A7X album if Papa doesn't rip a killer outro somewhere. I just hope they are comfortable delivering something in time for a summer tour, but whatever will be will be. I still can't believe The Stage is 3 already.
