Hello. I have not been here for ages. Reason being that I have been busy, and not recording either. Mostly gigging/touring with my bands, work, got two sons etc.. Now again, I think I should record some solo stuff. I don't want to bother/involve drummers of my bands.. But I'm utterly...

Around here, DI out from the bass-head is the usual MO, if available. Unless playing totally without PA, or only vox and kicks or something.. Usually the soundmen are fucking terrible. Usually the stage is booming so much (hollow stage, subwoofers under it..etc) that you simply can't crank the...

Bare knuckle Pickups. Almost as hot as actives, but passive, saves hassle. Warpig and Nailbomb have been praised a lot... I'm thinking Black dogs to my baritone..

For 200-300 bucks... I think you'd have to settle for a Danelectro or sumthing... Maybe, if you can find a used Epi LP baritone. ESP ltd also got some in a cheaper pricerange. Personally I play Gibby LP baritone (found it dirt cheap), and an Epi as a backup. The Epi is as good as the Gibby...

Thanks for the input you all!! I'll take note on the louder drums and vox on the next album.:o Jouni

"hollering" bwahaha! well put.:D

The first album of my band. Recorded (most part), mixed (most part) and mastered by myself. Recorded at our rehealsalplace. Total recording/mixing/mastering costs: under 600euros.:o youtube, from a MetalHammer collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjxlHSZ54HU The album as whole streamed...

One cost effective thing that I've done too, was getting a good CLEAN amp, and then trying out pedals/preamps... more expensive in the long run, but you get to disperse the costs and try out more different sounds..

My both metalbands play in B... While mixing that rumble together, I pay alot of attention to the TOP-ends of the sounds. like maybe: -kick: boost at 80hz AND 2000hz and cut seriously away around those frequencies. -bass: boost at 150hz AND 3000hz cut mud out from 300hz, kill everything above...

Phaez. Also known as "ontariomaximus". A Canadian builder of somewhat customized amps. I've got one of his "daisycutter" amps with 2x6l6 powersection and couldn't be a happier camper. The youtubeclips depict a rockish hi-gain amp, but I've thrown four blackmetalgigs with the 30watt beast in big...

uhmm... for a mastered clip it was pretty "under the blanket", but I couldn't hear any static.... But the 60-cycle hum gets you differently in different places, for example, amps dead quiet at home scream bloody hell when lid up at the rehealsalplace. Try changing location?

It IS possible to put in 2 power tubes, then swap one of them one at a time to see if there are dead ones. But new tubes are the best bet anyway without the hassle. Warranty.

I'd think that if you're playing with an acoustic, you ARE after the noises it produces, if you want a cleaner sound: record it from a clean electric guitar. You can do BOTH, and then mix the noises in according to taste?? That in mind, I made myself a really heavy slide from stainless steel...

I've had the "7am to 16pm" work for years, and a girlfriend, now a 11month-boy. Get a band, and a rehealsalplace. Only way for me to steal acouple of hours, is to go there. with or without the rest of the band. :D

My other band.. Scored a deal of some sort, "death rattle" is a single from the upcoming album. http://www.myspace.com/cavusmusic We had no budget, total costs of the album was under 600 euros. :D
