    EZ Drummer 2 review

    Quite impressive. Here's another clip. This time in an orchestral context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZCh4EY_kug&t=1m36s

    Little labs redeye and hot passive pickups

    What's the song in the second clip? It's on the tip of my tongue.

    I need to replace my Audio Interface

    Good luck with your 2i4, third one in a row just crapped out on me. I find it pretty comical that Focusrite is even in business at this point.

    Kemper vs JVM410H

    I heard Youniversal here multiple times before. I remember 5150 (or 6505) clips too.

    Ibanez RG852LW Prestige 8-String

    I love Ibanez for recognizing the appeal of a low profile bridge on a hardtail. When you get used to low profile bridges (which many do via playing floaters), it's a bit hard to play tune-o-matic guitars.

    Scarlett 2i4

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. Do you have experience with it?

    Scarlett 2i4

    This the second 2i4 I'll be returning. This time I'm taking my money back though. The first one had the PAD button on the first input fail in a matter of days. I've pressed it around 20~30 times, no more -- very gently at that. After that, the button wouldn't stay in the ON position anymore...

    Let's talk drum tuning!

    To people who tune according to key: What do you do when the key changes? If tuning to key is so important, I expect "gear shift" modulations so common to pop music to be really jarring if drum tuning doesn't follow as well. What would you do for the final part of this song, for example...

    Scarlett 2i4

    Reading the manual for the Scarlett 18i8 and I've noticed something strange -- the pads on it shouldn't be used with the instrument input. I assume this is due to impendance. Meanwhile, Focusrite very clearly states that the pads on the 2i4 will work with guitars without affecting your tone. In...

    Scarlett 2i4

    Bought the Scarlett. With the pad on, the bridge Evolution peaks out at -6 db with the gain knob at around 11. Plenty of room to work with.

    Scarlett 2i4

    I found this comparison: "Here you go! Some acoustic plus vocals then some death metal guitar, the first version of each is the 8i6 and the second the Bluetube, in solid state mode. The acoustic and vocals were recorded with Studio Projects B1's, guitar first with both mic's tracking...

    Scarlett 2i4

    Thanks for the info. Volume control is unfortunately not that reliable -- one small nudge and you'll never set it exactly where it was. Enough for some severe OCD to light up. Has anybody had a chance to do a direct comparison between the 2i4 and 22VSL? Been scouring the internet trying to...

    Scarlett 2i4

    I know the 2i4 has a pad button and that the 2i2 is the one everyone usually complains about, but I did hear about potential clipping issues with the 2i4. On this very forum, actually: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/backline/845912-scarlett-2i4-audiobox-22vsl-clipping.html Would the 2i4...
