I know I've searched this before and found some answers, but I've tried to search about 10 times and it keeps saying server not responding. I am going to get my reamp tonight and send some guitar tracks through a marshall 100w tube amp. That amp is so damn loud, when I put it on 2 it's loud...

Alright, so some people say you can use a DI box to reamp, some people say it can't be done...I'm really not sure what the true answer is. Then, by the same token, can you use a reamp box in reverse and use it as a DI box? The nice thing about the reamp boxes is a lot of them have a trim...

I'm not sure if I can hook up a compressor to this POS, but my friend has a behringer ACX1000 guitar/vocal amp, that sounds like crap. But, that's all he has to run his vocals through, and it does work. Obviously, this is just for band practice, not for recording anything, but I don't know how...

I don't understand what people are talking about when they say like U2s new album is clipping all over the place, or Rush's new album is clipping here and there? :confused: I thought anyone with a limiter could push something through it with no clipping? How does this clipping occur on these...

Hi all, I have a need for recording guitar with the ability to reamp them later as well as recording the signal (with distortion) at the time. So I have read through posts here and there seems to be some conflicting information. Some say you can reamp with a DI box in reverse, and others say...

Alright, so I've got plenty of stuff set up at home for my home recording, but I have a pal who wants to record a live show...kind of. Actually this will be his first show, ever, and he can't get a live show, it's just an open mic. So, there is like 5-10 minutes between sets, if even that. And...

Crap, maybe I should have posted this in the newbie section...but here goes. So, I finally got my system running ncie and smooth, I can put all kinds of effects on there without popping and whatnot thanks to some advice from Farview. Here's something I don't understand though: I thought I...

Hey all, I am slightly unclear about how latency affects everything, as I understand it, whatever your latency setting is, is how much delay you will experience during recording a track? I noticed before that when I would play something on my midi keyboard with a high latency setting, the sound...

Are the sounds that come with DFHS or BFD like raw and unprocessed? I wanted to learn how to mix real drums, but I only have roland sampled sounds, and they are mostly ready to mix and just add reverb. All the EQ, compression and other effects besides reverb are already added, so I can't really...

Hey all, I know the autotune question has been beaten to death, but I had a few specific questions for those with experience. First, I have a vocal track I'm working with for someone, and we have done like 50 takes, and the performance is turning out great, but there are a few notes that are...

Alright, so that might sound like an ultra newbie question. But actually what I mean, is, I have several rooms in my basement that I use for tracking, and I don't understand what makes a "vocal booth" different than just any other room. I just use a smaller bedroom for most all of my tracking of...

Just following up on a previous post where someone spoke of setting up a compressor. I have an EMU 1820 and someone mentioned that you have to hook up the preamp before the compressor or something like that. So, with my set up, is it not possible to use a compressor before hitting the DAW then??

I've been researching getting some new monitors, but now I'm wondering how much of an upgrade I'd really be getting. Or if there is maybe a middle ground somewhere. So, I have a pair of Event TR5s. The complaint I have with them, is they don't seem to reproduce the bass frequencies...at all. Of...

So there are a couple of auctions that are going on at ebay right now that I'm very interested in. But the person selling has 0 feedback, brand spankin new. I've seen about 5 auctions before just like this, that I was VERY interested in, some various microphones being sold used at like 1/3 the...

Has anyone used these? If not look at the website for info: http://www.frontierdesign.com/ I am thinking that it would be much more convienant to mix with these. I am starting to tire of using the mouse and keyboard for every minor detail. I am using Cubase by the way. Also, it would be...

Can someone enlighten me on why people think that these old JCM800 or other single channel amps are the only way to go? Maybe I just don't understand how tube amps work 100%. I have what I think is a really killer amp, a Marshall TSL100. I really like the sound I get out of it, but lately...

Alright, I'm finally getting some extra cash over the next few months, and trying to figure out how I should upgrade my gear. I've got several things in mind, but hoping for some help or suggestions. Here's what I've already got: monitors, emu card, enough cables, headphones, all nice...

ok, well not really, i'm just making it louder. Trust me, I am well aware that I don't really have a clue how to really "master" something like massive or any of those guys, I'm just a dumbass with a computer and a limiter. With that in mind, here's what I'm doing and wondering if it makes any...

I've thoroughly read glen's compression thing, and I've worked with compression a bit now to where I understand it. Let me recap what I do understand correctly I think. So, if for example I'm recording a vocal and I aim to keep it right around -18 dbFS average, but then I have peaks that go all...

Alright, so, I have an arrangement of a song that I am adding acoustic guitar to. There are already several other instruments in the song such as strings and piano, so what I'm doing with the guitar is just adding some small chords. What I mean by that, is that a lot of the chords are just 3...
