The sound your brains and ears want to hear is an Ampeg. Put your pennies away and wait. Spend wise and spend once.

sh*t

I had a similar think a year or so ago and found that, wait for it, it was the printer on my USB hub that was causing the problem. This caused a ground loop and when the printer, the speakers and my bass amp were all on at once it all went to hell. The solution was to tidy up the power sockets and move everything onto two 4 way splits. Like I say, a strange sollution but hopefully it works for you. G

I did a 4 year hon degree in music and audio production and, last week landed my first major position at one of Scotland's top studios. The contact came through the university but I put in 7 days a week during the whole of 4th year and, in the last year as a freelance self employed engineer. I have put out over a dozen albums and EP's off my own back with my own clients. Between finishing the degree and the studio taking me on there was a solid year where I was watched and drip fed little jobs before they decided to take me on formally. I have worked so hard over the last two years to get to this point but would not be in this position had my lecturer not given me the golden introduction. If you are not prepared, at least in the studio industry, to put in 4 hours for every 1 you get paid for at the start on small gigs (in one form or another) then don't bother. In my case my education at University was phenominal but, at the very same time, this is because I got everything I possibly could out of it and took full advantage of all the contacts and opportunities I was given. I think I fall very neatly into what WinterMute is talking about. Dream jobs don't land in your lap, you have to fight tooth and claw for them. Garry
