    spider valve 1x12 sound clip

    For those who might be interested: http://www.chargermusic.com/audio/sv/test1.mp3 Gibson LP Standard > SV 1x12 > SM57 > Chameleon Labs 7602 > Pro Tools. No eq or fx added. I think this is the first "metal" amp setting, on pretty low gain (less than halfway). Volume was pretty quiet.

    I also posted this on another forum specifically about analog consoles, which doesn't seem to have much traffic, so apologies if anyone at analogconsole.com is reading this... I currently have a Soundtracs Topaz Project 8 24x8. My friend has a Behringer console in his studio. We're looking to...

    Anyone looking to sell their Ghost?

    Preferably 32 channels, or 24+24, not LE, with meterbridge. And for how much?

    Pretty awesome...

    Pro Tools has only been around since 1991... so it only took 16 years for it to earn its own forum here. That was quick! Glad this is finally here...

    Mackie 1202 -TRS- direct out connections?

    I'm doing a small bit of location recording this weekend, and I'm borrowing a Mackie 1202 VLZ (not Pro, the older one) to do the recording. My question, simplified, is this: Can I use the inserts on the back of the mixer as direct outs with TRS output cables? The diagrams on the back of...

    Drum sound sample

    I'm getting to be pretty happy with my drum sound... just wondering what people think I can improve on without spending too much money. (Don't be afraid of the fact that these are wav files, they're short loops, only about 5 MB total.) http://www.chargermusic.com/drumloops/rocking.wav...

    Samplitude?

    Who uses it, and what do you think? I just spent a half hour digging through the website, and it looks like a beautiful program that includes just about every feature I've ever remotely imagined, and then some. I can crossgrade pretty cheap. So... how's the performance, sound quality, any...

    dbx 166 (not xl)

    A two-channel compressor/limiter/gate, looks to be 1980's in origin. Anyone have any thoughts/opinions? I'm thinking about picking one up for snare and kick use. I know it has no attack/release controls, but I've heard from various sources that it sounds good on kick and snare anyway. Of...

    TEST: MP3 vs WAV, can you hear the difference?

    This is a little test I made up because of a discussion that came up in this thread: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=82429 http://www.astrondelta.com/charger/audio/mp3test/ I ripped 19 seconds of the song "mon enfant" from the Ralph towner album Diary (ECM, 1974). I...

    Bill Lawrence pickups and controversy

    This comes from another thread. The story so far... That's the story to this point, here's my latest: For the sake of simplicity, how about we call them BL1 (old guy, billlawrence.com) and BL2 (business partner, billlawrenceusa.com). So anyway, I had heard the same thing about BL2's...

    Zwan mastering job

    Listen to this new Zwan single, called "Honestly": http://www.billy-corgan.net/MPEG/zwan-honestly-single.mp3 Now tell me that is not absolute mastering butchery. When the guitar solo comes in at around 2:54, I just can't even listen anymore.

    thanks, sony, for making the volume wars even worse

    http://www.harmony-central.com/Newp/2002/Sony-Oxford-Inflator.html "No matter how limited, compressed and crushed your program may already be the Inflator will provide even more loudness, it will even add volume to a full-scale white noise signal or add musicality to previously clipped signals."
