    Noobish question I've been meaning to ask about levels.

    Yeah I record all my guitars and vocals well below peak levels, but I'm curious about VSTs like EZ Drummer. Does it really matter if EZ is peaking? I mean I don't really hear a difference in quality like you would if a real set was peaking out. The reason I ask is I'm at a point in the song...

    String posts are loose, how do I tighten them?

    I already tightened the nut, but they're still loose. For clarification, I mean the post where the string is wrapped around. I'm in the middle of restringing and I want to take care of this beforehand.

    Tone Test on metal-ish/electronic/symphonic thing

    Not sure if people do this in the MP3 clinic or the Guitar n' Bass section, but whatever... I haven't finished recording the song yet, so it's just a little bit of it. This is also just a rough quick mix, so some of the levels are off and other such things. For now I'm only looking for...

    Tone Test

    Double post...

    This mix sounds kinda dry...but maybe it's just me. Fresh ears?

    I'm thinking once I record the vocals it will liven things up a bit more...especially in the intro. I want to see what everyone else thinks. Link here. I'm trying to experiment more with drum sounds and things, but I'm a little limited as I'm using EZ Drummer. The kick seems to be a little...

    So I'm having guitar problems...not sure what to do.

    So with winter here in Michigan, and the state's crazy ass weather, I have a begun to experience tuning problems. The strings are new, and I have checked the innotation. Now last time I checked it, every note I checked below the 12th fret was pretty dead on, but when I started getting to the...

    Done all I can on my own with this one since I'm still a noob.

    Okay, this one probably won't be to everyone's taste since it's kind of weird, and has some growling in it and such. I've done the best I can with it, and I want to see what the people here think. I got some useful responses on the other mix I posted a while ago, so I'm expecting more of the...

    First mix.....be gentle.

    I've worked a lot with this, and I'm still having problems here and there, so I figured I'd ask for help and see what everyone here. Bass was recorded direct into my mixer, and drums are EZ Drummer. Guitar was the only thing mic'd. No name for this one yet, or lyrics. There are some problems...

    So Line Out jacks straight into mixer/interface....

    I'm not exactly in the most ideal of recording situations. Vocals seem to come out okay, but my guitar just seems to have too much room sound to it. I was in the market for a new amp anyway, but I figured now I'll try and look for amps that have either a Line Out jack or an XLR out jack that I...

    Major newbie here

    So, I've got a lot of things already decided (computer, monitors, mics etc), except one thing: what sound card & mixer, or what "interface" to use (usb, firewire, etc). I had never even heard of a mixer-less setup until I found this site a year ago. I don't even know how the hell you are...
