    Is there a better place to put this stuff? (another good plugin/software deal)

    I'm somewhat new to the world of plugins - in terms of actually purchasing and using. Someone at another site posted this so I thought I'd share. Is there a more appropriate place to put this sort of thing here at this forum...

    Stupid deal of the day - today

    Looks like it's still available as of this post - Amplitube 5 for only $39.00. It's a ridiculously good deal. Could not pass up. And it's not just guitar and bass software, amps, pedals, IR loader, trainer, looper, etc - it's got all kinds of outboard studio gear simulators: 1176, 2A, Neve...

    In the Garden

    (**I've pulled this one to work on it some more) I'm looking for mix advice: relative levels, EQ, compression, anything glaring, etc. Thank you in advance.:-) This is all humans playing real instruments - :thumbs up: The vocals, drums, and bass were all crudely recorded about 15 years ago...

    Reamp experiment that turned out well

    Here's a "recording technique". Tried for the first time. Sailing into uncharted territory. I'm working with these old raw tracks from a recording session with my band from many years ago. Trying to put lipstick on a pig -- so to speak. It's been a long process so far for just one tune -...

    Using stretch markers in Reaper to fix bad drum timing issues

    Amazing. The coolest thing about this is that you can correct bad timing issues surgically and without screwing up the feel. You can manually quantize - and do it exactly to your liking. F'n bitchen. I didn't know. Until I knew. Which was today.

    Dedicated DAW Laptop

    I think I'm ready to finally purchase a dedicated laptop that will be used strictly for working in a DAW. I did read through a couple of threads here on the subject. I expect to continue to capture performance data and do all tracking with the Tascam DP-32SD and then import those .wav's into...

    I hope it's ok that I make this point

    But we're at that place now where, when listening and possibly critiquing other's music, I have a natural curiosity to know how something was created. It's not about being critical of the source or the process. I just would like to know. I've long been a believer of "the rules are: there ain't...

    Treble bleed circuit

    Over the years I've worked on my guitars from time to time but never gotten real enjoyment out of it. I fix things for a living and while I was playing out a lot it just always seemed like a chore to have to fix or maintain my guitars - beyond changing strings which I did constantly. But these...

    Rolled out the VS840 yesterday

    Talking to the tumble weeds rolling by in here.... I hadn't fired up my early first generation VS840 in many years (purchased in 1998). I had some old raw stems from my old band the Bluesicians that I wanted to transfer to my current platform. First had to find the 100MB zip discs...

    Extracting midi data off of 3.5 inch floppy discs

    I'm putting this here because it's not clear to me where the best place to put it is. I'm wanting - perhaps needing is a better word - to hire someone to go through a bunch of 3.5 inch floppy discs, extract the midi data off of them - and somehow transfer the performance material to digital...

    "Here Lies the Heart"

    A rendition of Andy Timmons' "Here Lies the Heart". My friend and brother in law passed away on 11/27/24. Thinking of you, Ric. I will miss you, brother.

    UA Enigmatic (Dumble Overdrive Special)

    I'd posted about the UA Lion. Which I've been wearing out as time allows. Just a KILLER fun, usable Plexi modeler. Just yesterday UA finally released their Dumble Overdrive Special modeler (Enigmatic). Just a couple days after enjoying this really fun video from Tim Pierce demo'ing the...

    UA Lion anyone?

    There's not really an amp or modeler forum here - but I was wondering if anyone here has one of these. I've been seriously considering one as the reviews are strong - and someone brought it up again on another forum. I'm just buried in work right now and didn't intend on pulling the trigger...

    Anyone here ever use a E906 on a guitar cabinet?

    I have an opportunity to grab a new one at a discounted price. Have any of you had good results with recording electric guitar with one of these? I still like to record my cabinet(s) occasionally. I've always been happy enough with the a 57 and 421 - but I hear good things about the E906. Just...

    Fender Precision Bass

    I love this guitar. It has been superb. It's 100% stock except I've changed the pick guard once or twice. Work was going well in 1998/99 and I started collecting the kind of gear that would allow me to make home recordings by myself. I think it was actually 1999 that suddenly MARS was going out...

    Bron-Yr-Aur

    I've been wanting to bring this up here for a while - this recording by Led Zeppelin. Well, it's really just a single solo acoustic performance by Jimmy Page. It's one of my very favorite pieces of music, bar none. It's just so beautiful. Still learning to play it fluently myself. Not there...

    Sunset Rhapsody - mix feedback?

    Edited: this is a slightly improved mix (hopefully). 7pm, 12/10/23 I've entered this track in an amateur song contest - not going to spend a lot of time on it but if there is something glaringly bad or something way off about this mix please feel free to chime in with feedback. EQ...
