I've been working on getting a good guitar tone for a while now and finally have gotten something that I somewhat like. I play black/doom/death metal. My amp is a Mesa Boogie F50 and my guitar is a schecter c1 xxx. I have a graphic Eq(boss) in the FX loop to cut the real lows and highs. I...

here is a new song i'm working on. No vocals once again. This is the first mix. The guitars are pretty much scratch guitars but I think they came out decent. What do you think. Is this an improvement over my first song I posted(mix and/or songwriting)...

hello. I'd like to know what metal bands you guys know of who do not use a drummer on their albums and program their drums instead. Bands I know of are: Summoning, Graveland(newer albums), The Berserker, Necrophalgist, Samael(since Passages I beleive. Or did they use them since the...

What do you guys think of distortion pedals? I have a Mesa Boogie F50 combo amp and I like the distortion on it but I want more a more variety of distorted tones without buying a new amp. I've been thinking about getting a distortion pedal or maybe an overdrive pedal. Are there any overdrive...

What graphic eq do you recommend for recording guitar. I am borrowing a boss GE-7 and it really helps my sound. I am inserting in the effects loop. What method do you guys prefer? I first put it in the input of my amp like I would a distortion pedal but I think the other way is better. I've...

Well it's time I post a recording to be critiqued here. This is my first serious attemp at recording. Before I would just record ideas and bits and pieces. Right now there are no vocals but i'll record them soon. I used a firebox into cubase LE. The guitars were done direct with a vamp2...

Here is an article i've read about miking an amp. One mic is almost never enough, but with two or more, phase cancellation rears its ugly head. Nevertheless, we got a trick for that right? Here it comes. Put the guitar down. Make it make noise, or take the cable off and stick it on...

Hello, i'm just wondering what everyone puts their amp or cab while recording. Seeing how everyone says you have to crank the shit out of an amp to get the best sound out of it, what do you do to be able to do this without everyone in the house yelling at you? Also, those of you who put their...

Hello i'm new to recording and need to isolate my amp when recording. My studio is just one room(my bedroom) with a small closet. The closet is where I put my amp. The closet is about 3' long and 2' wide and about 8 ' tall(there is a shelf that is about 6' high). I need to sound proof this...

okay i've found a converter that works with my cubase le files so now I can post mp3s again. This time I used much less reverb and a different type as well. I recorded two takes. One left and one right. Both takes had two mics(E609s and SM57). The E609s was in the center of the speaker cone...

hello, i'm looking for a free parametric vst plugin. Right now i'm using the classic eq but I want something that has a low/high pass,a wide notch or narrow bell and high and low shelves. The equim demo was perfect for me but it was only the demo which would make random pauses. I've searched...

Okay i've been messing around for a while now trying to get a black metal tone I like. I recently bought a Mesa Boogie F50 amp. I used a schecter c1 xxx guitar,the already stated amp,a senheiser E609s and an SM57,a firebox and cubase LE. I recorded two takes. One with the contour switch...

I'm thinking about buying this. What do you guys think of it? It doesn't have any effects right? What different parameters does it have? How versitile is the distortion? Is there really just one type you can get or are there many? If anyone has one i'd really appreciate it if you could...

so I just noticed right now that my amp I just bought a couple weeks ago started to make a chiming noise when I play. It comes through the speakers. It's wierd. Sounds like light metal hitting against something if you know what I mean. Like a chime. Can't really describe it more than that...

just bought the amp too :(. It was used. I did have my amp in my closet for recording. Does extra heat make them go faster? The amp was getting pretty hot, maybe the tubes just need to cool down? Or do I need to replace them?

Hello. I have a mesa boogie F50 tube amp and i'm thinking of getting a distortion pedal for it. I play black/death metal. What are some good pedals for this type of amp? How about the uber metal? or the tube screamer? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

okay not sure where to post this so i'll post it here. My friend and I are starting a music project. We play melodic death/black metal. We seem to get very unfocused and not accomplish anything. What do you guys do to get things done? I'm thinking we both come up with a few riffs on our own...
