reaper is an amazing program. it takes about 30 secs to DL, 5 minutes to install and works whether or not you pay for a license.

checked out your page... good stuff. bang loud is hot

i tried the revalver demo... it sounds good, but i wasn't blown away by it. i'm gonna stick to amplitube and GTR

BTW Joey Sturgis does everything direct (NO amps) through a program called Pod Farm. Some people rave about it. As for me, I mainly use Amplitube for metal stuff and Waves GTR for clean sounds, blues and punk. The amp-sim I hear the BEST stuff about is Peavey Revalver MKII (sim means...

Here's another little piece of advice about EQ... crucial detail. Your mix is like a bookshelf and each frequency range is a section of that bookshelf. There's only so much space in each section for sound, so what happens if there's too much going on in one frequency range is your sound will...

Agreed. You posted settings for the same reason I did, you want him to have some kind of a reference to jump off from, not intended to be a copy and paste situation.

There are some valid points being made. Simply "taking" a compression setting from someone else and pasting it into your track is a bad idea, unless you know exactly what it means and how to use it. If you don't set up your gain structure the same or similar (if you need me to explain gain...

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1mz24zhzqnn Here's a snippet from a track I did a few weeks ago. I did not stack guitar tracks. It's one track panned center for rhythm and two lead tracks panned 75% left and right. The guitars were recorded direct through Amplitube Metal (amp-sim), with...

Well, you're right man... nothing wrong with asking for and getting advice. That's the purpose of this forum last time I checked. Now... taming entire passages like you mention is not the best use of compression, but I understand why you might think that. You're new to the stuff so it is a...

http://www.myspace.com/foundationrecording but hey, you tell me...

the answer to that question's a little bit of yes and a little bit of no... micing will get you more realism, more tonality and if you're a professional, some people will demand that you record their gear but, if you listen to anything recorded by joey sturgis it's brutally obvious that: an...

some of this will not make ANY sense to you, but if you have to... read my post 10x and every time it'll start to make a little more sense than the last. PS google Joey Sturgis... he is the fuckin' guru of getting good direct guitar tones. he's produced and engineered for bands like the devil...

Compression comes in MANY flavors from limiters to expanders to multiband compressers to de-essers to standard compression to noise gates, but you don't need to worry about all that just yet. I'm gonna give a quick run-down on regular old compression. What it does is take the loudest parts of...

This is not Greek... gEEk maybe, but not Greek. So EQ=equalization. You use it to sculpt your sound. Along with compression (which I'll also tell you a little bit about), it is the most important tool in the mixing process (mixing is FX and editing applied to your already recorded parts in...

"warm" means good low-mid response. it's less of a piercing sound than "bright" which is treble heavy.

i've used a 2001 on some fucking great sounding stuff (i can send you samples). cheap def does not = bad. if anything i'd tell you to get a 57 or 421 for guitar cabs and invest in acoustic treatment. acoustics are crucial (especially on vox and guitar) and a lot of people just neglect em. as...

quoted for truth

you're problem sounds like an impedance matching problem. well, what's impedance?!!! i'll explain... impedance matching is like drinking water. you won't try to fill a cup with a fire hose because you'll probably destroy something and/or injure yourself. meanwhile, the reverse is true... if...

and king of pain is correct... you're not gonna link your computers and share processing. the best you can do is network for file sharing capabilities

if you want to be able to crank with VI's especially the super-heavy duty stuff like EWQL or VSL, you need massive amounts of ram (and obviously processing power). my suggestion, if you have the money, is to look at a new mobo with a quad (i7's are a better bang for your buck than core2's). i...
