Essentially - I just searched for annoying frequencies on some of those belted high vowels and started hacking away at the upper mids.

Have you tried using low latency mode?

The original recording is pretty good. It's a bit roomy, but certainly usable. Here's the EQ and compressor settings I used. I used two EQ plugins because I kept trying to dial out some of the room sound, but I would probably condense the settings to one plugin later on down the road after I...

So I've heard the clean tones on the DSL100 are pretty good as far as Marshall goes. I think the DSL100 is probably the amp I want to buy, but I can't really go test it out anywhere because none of my local music stores stock them anymore. I did, however, have the chance to test out a MA100H at...

This is a small, passive (not powered) two channel true bypass loop. It's been gently used on my pedal board for a couple years, but is in excellent like-new condition and will ship in its original box. I'll sell for $70 including shipping via USPS to entire USA. I'll ship international but...

Hey guys. I'm currently in the market for my first tube amp. After going to Guitar Center and testing out numerous combos, I've decided I like the Mesa Express 5:50 the best. I'm now prepared to purchase a used 5:50, but I have one final decision to make. I can get the 1x12 version of the 5:50...

I currently have a Focusrite Pro 40 and am looking into adding 8 more channels by chaining another interface via ADAT or Firewire and I have a few questions: Which is generally the better method for chaining two interfaces: ADAT or Firewire? Would I run into clocking/sync problems if I chained...

Hey Chris, Do you have any advice for those looking to get a job in the professional audio world and eventually work their way up to being in a career position such as you are in? What steps did you take to get to where you are today?

I remember a while ago somebody here recommended some mixing "tutorials" that were basically screencasts of mixing engineers taking their songs from start to finish. I believe these tutorial videos sold for about $50 each and were quite long in duration... I can't seem to remember the...

Thanks for all the great info, guys! Good news: I just talked the remodeling situation over with my family and it looks like I will have the option to move into a bigger room (11 x 15 ft) that will allow me to better place my console. Here's a quick mock-up: In the picture the console is...

I know next to nothing about acoustic treatment so I'm hoping somebody here can help me come up with a good treatment plan for my room. I'm in a bedroom studio that measures 11 x 9 feet, however, we're going to be remodeling soon and will end up moving a wall (the right wall in the diagram...

Lately I've been struggling to get a good headphone monitoring situation for tracking vocals. I can sing a lot better when I set up some speakers in front of me and play the backing tracks out loud to sing to, but then I have to deal with bleed and whatnot. So I feel like the reason I can't seem...

Just watch it all the way through. You won't regret it.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to get the intro effect to Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden? It's the effect about five seconds into the video below. We're looking to pull this off live... is it possible?

That's a screenshot of my Mac's basic specs. Logic 9 runs just fine - I've recorded eight tracks at a time before and never had a problem. When I try to record 20 tracks at a time, I beach-ball for a few seconds, but then it starts recording all 20 tracks without any sort of error. I'll admit...
