So I recently started uploading guitar playthroughs of original djent/metal songs on my youtube channel. Would like any advice or anything on how you guys feel about it! This is a song called "Rebirth" which is kind of all over the place in terms on genres and goes from metalcore to djent, to...

Hey, guys! I recently made a Youtube channel and started uploading guitar playthroughs of original songs (among other things) I just wanted to post my most recent which is a song called "Rebirth" Genre wise, it's kind of all over the place and mixes djent, metalcore, jazz, and a few other...

Hey guys. So I've recently started doing guitar playthroughs and messing around with filming multiple shots and working on color grading and such. I'm not the one filming it but I do give advice on angles, editing etc. I've noticed HUGE improvements in the editing every time I've worked on a new...

Anyone ever do this? And I mean DI. So guitar to pedal, to interface. I have a tuner, and loop pedal but not any effect pedals like distortion, or delay or anything. To me it seems like using a real TS or distortion pedal would get you a better tone than the virtual pedals in Amplitube3 or...

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've posted anything here. Anyways, I was just wondering what you guys thought of my song/mix. I will warn you, I haven't gotten around to finishing the lyrics so I copy and pasted the verses. I also plan on redoing all of the vocals anyways. Let me know what...

Hey guys. I've been looking up a bunch about making your own panels and stuff. From what I've read, a lot of people use about 2" of rock wool in theirs. Basically I'm going be moving to Hollywood in Septemer to go to the Musicians Institute. And I'm going to be doing ALOT of recording in my...

Hey guys, I just had a quick question. I have the Blue Spark Condensor running through a Presonus 44vsl interface. Anyways, I was just wondering about how to get the best sounds recording with it. Normally I just put the mic a few inches off of the 12th fret. And I for vocals I just do it...

Hey guys. I was just curious if you had any preferred methods for layers guitar parts. I usually never layer them. Ill just record everything twice and pan then hard left and hard right. Do any of you quad-track your guitars? Also I was listening to a Paramore song (Forget which one) off of...

So I have a few of LePous heads and various impulse pa is (Catharsis, Godscabs etc) I don't really have experience micing real cabs. So what's a good place to start? The impulses have a bunch of different mica all in different positions. What are some good mic position/combinations to achieve...

Hey guys. So I have decided to cave and get a MacBook Pro. Mainly because the school I'm attending in the fall is strictly Mac based and I need a laptop a well. Anyways, I had a question about ram vs CPU with recording. What uses CPU and what uses Ram? My current laptop ha an i5 with 4gigs of...

So I've been looking around for a new laptop for recording. My current laptop is an HP DV6. I5 with a 250gig hd. 4gigs of ram. And it really just isn't cutting it. Once I have all of my vsts and plugins going it starts lagging and cutting out. So what I'm looking for is a laptop with an i7...

Any of you guys use little "ear candy" effects in your songs? For instance, cymbal swells, reverse reverb or delay etc? One of my favorites is getting that lo-fi telephone effect at the beginning or at a break in the song and then have it come back full force. What are some of your favorite...

Hey guys. I was just hoping to get some tips on getting some big drum sounds. My drums are all superior drummer but I recently got Aptrigga so ive been sampling the kick and snare with random samples I've came across. Some of the samples are edited and some are completely raw. One example of a...

I've read many threads on here an ultimate metal about DI boxes. It seems like quite a bit of people plug their guitar in to a DI box, then run the DI box in to their interface. I'm just curious. Does it really make that big of a difference? My interface is a Presonus 44vsl. If I get a DI box to...

Hey everyone. It's gotten to the point where my laptop isn't able to withstand the workload of recording. Well, it can but once I start putting plugins on my track it starts to skip and glitch really bad. even with 90% of the tracks frozen. So I think it's time for a new one. Do you have any...
