    Thoughts on the Head Crusher or similar?

    Anyone have any feedback on the Audio Assault Head Crusher? Looking for some pretty natural-s distortion in a plugin and if this doesn't do it, what would you recommend?

    Does "reamping" degrade overall signal

    Hey all, I'm recording an album right now and I'm planning on adding a lot of effects later. Some are not in-box but will be run from the interface's line out through effects pedals and back into the interface's line in. Should I expect any signal degredation, loss of quality, noticeable...

    Signal Routing Question(s) for *Reamping*

    Hey everyone, I'm about to embark on recording a new album here at my home studio, and before I make any mistakes I'll regret later, I want to get a better idea of what I'm dealing with when it comes to signal routing for *reamping*. I'm not actually reamping into an amp, but recording my...

    Issue with Monitors

    Hey all, I have a NHT Pro A-10 series of powered monitors. I've had a periodic issue that seems more and more present where my right monitor almost produces no sound at all. One thing that used to "wake" it up is just simply blasting the monitors as loud as possible and then things sometimes...

    Mic Pres and Interfaces

    Hey folks, Pretty broad question here, but I'd like to work it out. I currently have a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6. I recorded one album on it already, but I'm looking to really step up my home recording game. I'd like to use something with more harmonically rich and warmer preamps. So my first...

    Vintage Sounds on a Shoestring Budget

    Hey folks, I've got some questions about recording with a very particular aesthetic in mind, but first, a little background. I have a post-punk solo project called 'Charlatan' (charlatansounds.com). In short, I sing, play guitar, and largely rely on synthesizers and drum machines to back me up...

    Double Micing Guitar Amps & Phasing

    So, I have just started tracking my music on my own for the first time in a (semi)professional manner. I'm recording into Pro Tools 10 with drum machines and synthesizers (that's the easy part). Now I'm recording electric guitar tracks, but I'm feeling a bit unsure of myself and could probably...

    Do I need an external mic pre?

    Hey all, I have a Focusrite 6i6. I'm making an album, which will admittedly be kind of noisy and lo-fi in some way or another. I know this is a purely subjective question, but I need some quick sage advice. Should I bother getting an external mic pre? Is the 6i6 pre good enough to get by? If...

    Syncing different instrument tracks from the same device

    Hey everyone, I'm recording in Pro Tools 10. I have a Korg Electribe EMX which I am trying to record a number of songs off of. Every song has various percussion instruments and synth parts. I want to record every instrument separately, but I'm running into trouble. I had thought that at first...

    Plugins for an aspiring home recorder

    I'm looking to record my first home-made album - I use Pro Tools 10. I know the plugins that come with PT10 are decent, but I am looking to add to that palette a bit and would like some recommendations for some good plugins before I take this on. I'm particularly looking for a nice, subtle...
