Sounds

need help for ibanez jem brmr sound and setup.also how can i achieve a "slick" type of sound (like joe satriani, steve vai, dimebag darrell etc) with a peavey 5150 half stack as I am unable to get a satisfactory sound. Would it help to install new tubes to improve the clean sound and overall clarity?thanks.

For a really smoothe sound you need a noise gate like the boss ns2 pedal or the dbx 266xl compressor gate rack unit, and a bbe sonic maximiser.

Vai n satch both use noise gates and compressors.

Also geet your pick ups wax dipped it will help

I’m using nero pro to make backups of my PS1 collection for emulation and security. The problem is, the files that nero creates usually don’t include the save features and have screwed up/distorted sound. Any ideas?

Don’t think you can, but just Google it on Google.

Im a very new guitarist and recently purchased a Epi Les Paul and a 10kk Marshall Amp. I have a clean sound when played but having trouble getting a distorted metal sound. Also would like to flip the switch and have a clean and distorted sound. Do I need a distorter or could i achieve this sound with my current setup by playing with a few knobs? Sorry if I sound Super noobish. Thanks

set your amp to the following:
Gain:9
Bass:7
Middle:2
Treble:10

OR

Gain:7
Bass:7
Middle:2
Treble:7

OR

Drive:7
Bass:3
Middle:3
Treble:8
Rev;2

Thats all i know. Hope This Helps.

Is there any way to check a stylus for wear without having access to a microscope?

I know that a diamond stylus is usually good for a few hundred hours play, and that eventually a worn stylus will be clearly evident by distorted sound, but as I understand, the stylus can already have been causing damage to records by then.

Are there, for example, any more subtle changes in the sound quality before this stage which can indicate that a stylus is starting to wear?

Don`t worry about not having a microscope ,just take it to your local Hi Fi shop they will check it for you ,but make sure it`s a good Hi Fi shop not one of the usual hight street shops.

On my amp there are "drive" "level" "treble" and "bass" and i dont know what they are for, i thought they were to do with volume but it is confusing, also my guitar has four more on the body along with a rhythm/treble switch, but none of these four are marked? I have no idea beyond playing around with them, but it would be handy to know how to make the guitar sound nice and clear or heavy and distorted sounding.

Thanks.

"Level" – this is the volume control and determines the loudness of the amplified signal.

"drive" – This is the "gain" control and determines the amount of distortion. In general, low for clean, half-way for "crunch" and blues sounds and three quarter way for high gain lead distortion. But every amp varies depending on type and wattage.

EQ – equalisation:
"treble" high frequencies
"bass" low frequencies

Some amps have a "mid" frequency control too

There is no guidance with EQ, just playing about with them is good enough – use your ears.

Try not to put the gain at full – this will cause the signal to be over – saturated.

Go to some guitar magazine websites – they always have useful articles on amp setup!

good luck.

In the song Bat Country how does it go from the distorted sound to the clean 1 (the 1 before the solo and at the end of the song).

Whenever I plug my ukulele into any kind of sound system, I get this awful distorted sound; not what you look for from a uke. Anyway, I think it’s the Oscar Schmidt OU2E(?) model and I would like to get this figured out. Would it be quicker to take it into my guitar shop? (I would still like an answer. Thanks!

i;d finish first rather than last

can anyone pls. help me with my HP tx2500z laptop w/ realtek high definition sound card. everytime i play music it makes an irritating cracking/choppy/distorted sound every few seconds. how do i solve this problem? i downloaded the latest driver but it’s still the same, i rolled back to the old driver, still the same. it’s really annoying!

many things may happened in your laptop ……

1. r u want to play music in some other player …..try windows media player ……many times winamp midea player creat this tyoe of sound …
like ….an irritating cracking/choppy/distorted ……as u say ..

2. may be your HDD is crashed ….put some song in other drive then play …..still comes out …..??

3. format C: drive ……again install a fresh copy of XP/VISTA and again install sound driver from your driver CD

4. still comes …….???………….go to your nearest service center of LAPTOP/sound card …

I have reformatted and installed a fresh copy of XP. I reinstalled all the new drivers from the hp website. The computer is a compaq presario V4000. I used the same install disc and drivers as I have always used with no trouble. After the reformat the computer ran like new for about a day, then the sound began skipping again. The computer seems to slow down a lot whenever this skipping occurs. It does it on the start up and shut down. I have 2 GB of Ram and a 1.7 GHz processor. At any time neither the ram nor the processor seem to be pegged out. I’ve deleted the sound card driver and reinstalled it to no avail. I just don’t know what else to do.

It also skips/distorts sound while doing various tasks like surfing the web or watching videos.

The sound will still distort when windows task manager states that the processor is at 50%-60%, and the Ram is only at 200MB out of 2GB.

So I deleted the Driver and reinstalled it from another site with the same result. I just don’t understand how it could be a driver problem when I have had the same driver I have now working fine for the last 2 years. What else could it be?

Could this have anything to do with the fact that I have a separate partition on my hard drive for all my data, including videos, pictures, and microsoft office documents?

Thanks for any help ahead of time.

Having your data on a separate partition from the system shouldn’t have any effect on audio playback. One thing you can check is the hardware acceleration used for audio playback. Go to Control Panel and open up your Sound and Audio Devices. Click on the the Audio tab and then on the Advanced button in Sound playback. You should get a dialog for Advanced Audio Properties. Click on the Performance tab and look at the slider for hardware acceleration. Set it to full acceleration if it’s not already there. That should smooth out playback.

If it’s already all the way up you can turn it down one notch at a time to see if performance improves. But make sure you only move down one notch at a time as you test things.

The last thing I can think of is to update DirectX.
