I have found a few ideas on line and will try them out.
As you say though I may have to live with it!
Need to upgrade my pc but I have loads of UAD and Waves plug ins on it!

I have bought a used Tascam 4x4 interface. I downloaded the drivers but there is a problem in that Windows is cannot find the digital signature (windows7) I have found a work around which involves pressing f8 when the computer is starting up and disabling driver signature enforcement. The unit works ...

I think I will get a usb interface.
I don’t really need a lot of inputs.
Any recommendations?

I was going to take the interface apart but can’t see how to get into it!

I have had this set up for many years and it has worked fine. Now the software (Reaper) is saying “audio device closed” The light is on on the audio interface which is connected via a pci card. When I plug a mic into the Layla it does not show any signal on the meters. Maybe it has reached the end of ...

I have noticed that younger musicians seem to more aware of hearing protection that those of a certain age!

I used the Pacato ear plugs last night on a gig.
Very pleased with them.
Plenty of attenuation without a big loss in quality.
Decent fit in my ears as well.

I have ordered some Pacato 19 ear plugs. I will report back! I have had some ear defenders for several years but lately they seem to not be attenuating as much. It has been difficult to get them to “sit” properly. I am very careful in my studio about volume especially guitar amps. The problem seems w ...

Maybe all this will prompt an article in SOS if the “management” have seen this?!

Sorry I meant ear plugs that go in the ear.
I need some that attenuate the sound but maintain audio clarity!

I am after a new pair of ear defenders for band gigs and rehearsals.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

Thanks for all the help.
I will get it plumbed in!

Definitely does!
I don’t have the room in my little studio for the cabs but would love to use the amp for recording!

I have acquired a Hartke HA2500 bass amp.
It sounds great in my garage through some cabs.
Could I use it on its own in my studio via the direct out on the back without any speakers connected?
If so,I take it it could go direct into my computer set up without a DI box?
Thanks

I am renovating a Watkins Rapier 33.
Does anyone know where I can get pickguard decals?
Thanks.

Bought it second hand so will have to live with it!

Got the Allen and Heath desk and used it last night.
Very impressed!
The singer said he had superb fidelity in his in ear monitors.
Just one issue ,one of the meters is a bit temperamental seems to work on and off.No effect on the output.Is this an easy fix?

I am thinking of getting a used Allen and Heath Zed FX12.
We need a couple of auxiliary sends which this has.
Looks to be in good condition.

I need to buy a mixer for band use.
Studiomaster Clubxs mixers look to be good value.
Just wondering if anyone has had experience of them?

I am trying to repair a Behringer mixer. The left side is ok but the right side has a very faint signal. I have had a look inside to no avail. There is a graphic eq and feedback cancelling button.They make strange static noises so I wonder if that is anything to do with it. Anyone had experience of ...

Needs a new scratchplate! Also needs refinishing it has been sanded down to a natural colour it should be red! The neck has about 15 thousands of relief with no tension.There is no truss rod. Could well need a refret after taking out some of the neck relief. Should keep me out of trouble in the dark ...

Apparently they were the switches from Pifco hairdryers!

That’s great!
The guitar on reverb is the exact one.
I should be able to figure it out now.
Thanks again.

Thanks for that. Mine has three normal pots but no rotary switch. There is a two way switch with four lugs.I think this was to have the bridge and neck pick ups together or just bridge or neck,not sure which! There is also a switch which apparently was made for Pifco hairdryers! It has a red switch ...
