Just curious if anyone knows how to get a good OMD, Depeche Mode type of 80's drum machine sound in a live format. What do they use? Is there some recent machine that has those good sounds? I found this video on youtube of some band opening for OMD and watching them I can't tell what hes using...

Awesome, thanks! I spent a few hours reading trying to figure it out with no luck. Who knew thats what "auto input monitoring" meant....hahaha Rock on, -Chase

This may be a dumb question but I just switched from a PC and pro tools to a Mac and Pro Tools LE 7.4 Mbox 2 pro. I use to be able to have a recording and play that recording while playing a new guitar part over that recording without recording the new part. But the only way I can get this to...

Yall rock! I love this place. Thanks to all the regulars who share their time and knowledge! I'll look into heaters and bring the strings inside. -Chase

Hey, I just moved to Nashville and its gonna be getting into the 20's in a day or so and then the teens soon. I have a vintage 70's vox and a few guitars, pedals, mics, etc in my new jam spot. I'm wondering if this is too cold for any of these things? I used the search function here but didn't...

Ok I'm building an ISO booth and have read way too much on these forums without finding the answer to my question so..... I have a room in the basement that has 2 concrete walls and a concrete floor. Can I some how use these walls and floor for an ISO booth and just attach the ceiling and...

Thanks. My heads spinning now hahaha. A quick question. How much better is the quality of 96khz sampling vs 44.1? Is it a great deal? Thanks, -Chase

I have the old pro tools digi001 but want to get something that works with a laptop or a stand alone recording unit for around 500 bucks. I would like it to have at least 2 of its own preamps. The MBOX 2 PRO looks pretty good to me, but I was wondering if someone thought there was more bang for...

"relxing the throat and letting your diaphram do the work is key." I've never felt as though I'm REALLY using my diaphram when singing. I know sometimes with higher notes my throat really feels it and I know I'm pushing too hard with my throat. I did this "Zen of Screaming" dvd lesson and...

Awesome guys! I've been hearing of TC for vocal effects for years but never tried em out.....I'm now starting to become more of a tone snob for my guitar and vocals. I'll have to go demo them somewhere. Thanks for the advice! -Chase

I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with using a good amount of Echo or phasers and trippy effects with vocals..... I've tried some line 6 gear and it sounds ok, but I'm trying to stay away from non true bypass stuff......I also need to be able to use it live as in a stomp box or a rack...

Thanks for taking the time to listen. That's what I thought it was. -Chase

Cool, Thanks to everyone whos put time and thought into this post! I was just wondering about "doubling" the voice and what not and I now understand theres no normal here and that everything has its place. I'm leaving a few songs here that have a little bit of what I'm going for. If you think...

Awesome! Thanks for all the help. So no-one uses two tracks as a standard, to fatten it up like most do for guitar? -Chase

Thanks for the help. It would be nice if you could explain a few of those advanced techniques you mentioned.....I like to experiment as much as I can and am always wanting to learn new things. As far as effects: you said I should add them to a track separate from the vocal.....Do you mean add...
