  1. They need to be in Temps of 70-80 degree’s approximately. And Humidity 40-50%.. I quit buying from GC several years ago.. When I did, I bought new Guitars in the wrapper. No Floor models…
  2. Aaaahh.. I haven't used them in years.. I’m using an Apple IMac for Logic Po X & a MacBook Pro for Pro Tools.. Very different terminology’s.. But, I use Clone Tracks for creating a Clone & I use Bounce Tracks for other things in both Logic & Pro Tools.. ..
  3. I have a 20 year old Gibson J-160E & a 50 year old Martin D-35 in my Home Studio. I do have a humidifier and keep my Studio between 40-55% at all times. The J-160E developed a Split recently. No problems with my D-35 though.. Is splitting more common with Mahogany than Rosewood which is a much harder Wood?
  4. In the old days bouncing Tracks was a way to build Multi Tracks with a 2 Track Tape Recorder that had SOS or SWS.. Every Bounce was layered on another Track. No way to make changes..Plus every bounce degraded the sound of the previous recording.. That isn’t what I’m talking about.. With Protools, Logic & most other DAWS Bounce Tracks can be used for a number of reasons.. They are still recreations of the Original Track. Either in Mono or Stereo. They aren’t layered Tracks. There is no degrading of Sound.. There is nothing bad about using Bounce Tracks with modern Multi-Track Recording. Whether it’s Protools, Logic, most DAE’s & even Multi-Track Tape. The final Stereo Pre-Master is a Bounce.. Then the final Master is a Bounce.. Then the Pressed Records, Tapes, CD’s, MP3’s etc are all Bounced.. Today Bounce Tracks are an additional tool that is a huge plus…
  5. If you want to keep all the Effects on a track you record, create a Bounce Track & record your Track with Effects on the Bounce Track.. It’s a recording of the Track with Effects.. There’s good & bad to that. The Effects can’t be changed.. Whereas the the Original recorded Track may or may not have the Effects depending on the DAW others are using.. Not always a bad thing as the Mixing Engr can Mix the entire Project to make everything sound balanced with just the right amount of EQ, Compression & FX.. Remote Recording shouldn’t be a problem as long as everyone sends individual or stereo Tracks as Zipped WAV Files…
  6. These must’ve been pretty popular because they’re pretty scarce.. They’re not for me, I can’t stand hauling my Firebird V around in the Trunk sized Case.. But, if anyone is interested… Check out this Epi Double Neck G-1275.. Pretty good deal.. https://reverb.com/item/79095298-epiphone-g-1275-custom-1996-2019-cherry
  7. Sounds like they cleaned house!
  8. That’s why I was Celebrating! I did a lot of Celebrating in those days….
  9. They were great in ‘69! That’s how I want to remember them…
  10. I got Tickets for my Daughter and Son in law, who share the same Birthday, to see “The Rolling Stones”.. I saw them in their youth in the 60’s & prefer to remember them that way….
  11. As much as I like Guitars if I had that kind of money it would be in Beachfront Homes in Southern California & Oahu…..
  12. That will be a very interesting trip…
  13. I use them in Protools & Logic.. Also, EZ Drummer II…. They’re great but ultimately I still prefer a live Drummer..
  14. It’s true Remote Recording is time consuming & relies on multiple people doing multiple things.. If you’re using Electric drums they should have R & L stereo outputs usually.. Protools, Logic & most DAW’s have the ability to create a Stereo channel which you can record your stereo Drum tracks to. Then you only have to email one Stereo Track Zip file.. Usually what we’ve done in the past is, the Singer of the song makes a single Mono Scratch Track of the Vocal & Rhythm Guitar to the Click at the Pre-determined BPM.. Then the Drummer, Bass, other Guitars & Instruments send their individual Tracks. Finally, the Vocals & Harmonies are recorded… It’s a process…
  15. I think those days are long gone….. For deals anyway… After I got home from Vietnam I needed an Electric Guitar.. I had about $75.00… There was nothing new for that kind of money.. So we went to all the Pawn Shops in Wash. D.C. I was about to give up when one of my buddies spotted a Guitar in the back of the Pawn shop high on a shelf. It was almost completely blocked by stuff with only the headstock sticking out.. I said, what’s that.. The guy said, it’s an old Guitar & was pretty rough.. I asked if I could see it.. He brought it down.. It was dinged & had lots of scratches. Ugly brown color. Only one Pickup, one Volume & one Tone control.. I thought not much of a Guitar but it played ok. I asked, how much? The guy said, how much you got? I said, $75.00.. He said, that’s exactly how much it is! Wow, did I sucker for that.. LOL.. Turned out to be a mid to late 50’s Les Paul Jr.. It was a fantastic Guitar & sounded amazing. The Lead Player in our Band, kept bugging me to buy it.. When a really cool Vox Phantom became available I sold to him for $75.00 & bought the Vox.. Which later was stolen… I should never have sold that Guitar!
  16. As long as you’re sending WAV Files, to the best of my knowledge, it doesn’t matter what DAW you use.. I’ve worked with guys with Protools, Logic, Tascam 2488, Boss 1600, Cubase, Alesis Studio One & some of the Free Recording Software.. The key is they be in WAV File Format & are recorded to a Click Track that is in perfect time.. We usually used a 4 beat count off to begin each song..
  17. I just went through this. My reason was I didn’t like the sound of the Pickups in a MIC Epiphone Casino. I knew what I wanted, spent some $$$ & upgraded to the Pups I wanted.. It turned the Guitars sound from awful to incredible.. It was worth it.. It would be a good idea for the OP to know what he wants before going down that Rabbit hole.. Maybe he should go play lots of Guitars with different kinds Pickups to find a Sound he wants..
  18. Who’s interested in doing this? Larsongs Sings, plays Rhythm, Bass & Harp. Brad1 plays Drums & Guitar
  19. LOL! That’s serious practice..
