Harmonized guitars panned left and right sound killer! However my philosophy with mixing guitars is, if there's two lead guitarists, I want it to sound that way. So if one guitarist wants to add some harmonized embellishments, then they're gonna be panned the same as his main lead. If both...

Metal is NOT only e minor pentatonic. That kind of comment to me sounds it comes from someone who really doesn't listen to a lot of metal, or perhaps hasn't listened to metal in 30 years! Metal is much more diverse than e pentatonic and there are numerous and classic examples of metal songs...

If you know how to solder, a way to cut costs is to buy a couple hundred feet of cable and the connectors and make your own. Of course if you don't have a use for that many cables it's overkill, but if you're running studio and need lots of mic cables, that's a great way to do it.

It's been a while since I've posted anything in the mixing clinic but here we go... I'm in the midst of forming a band and while we're trying to complete the lineup we've been recording some tunes. You can find them at: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/314/scourgeaust.html The two songs were...

Thanks for trying Emeric... anybody else got any ideas??

Anyone familiar with Ozzy Osbourne's song "Crazy Train"??? At the begining there is this 'clicky' percussion thing that kinda sounds like a rattlesnake... I was talking to a drummer I know he said he didn't know the proper name for it but he knows them by the name of "Cobra Bell" - does anyone...

I don't know how many times over the last week or so I've listened to this, but I still keep listening to it everyday hoping that it'll make sense and it still hasn't. But I guess if I've kept listening to it you must have done something right, otherwise I wouldn't be listening to it still...

Finally got some time to give this a listen... everyone else has pretty much summed it up. Sounds cool and works well. You've posted what 4 new songs from the next album? From these 4 or however many there has been they are all very different from each other, which is cool. Are you purposely...

Thanks for that Kelly... I have had a bitch of a time trying to find an mp3 encoder that doesn't rip my cymbals to shreds at 128kbps... hopefully something here will do the trick!

Well because the tension in the strings isn't that great when down to C you neck shouldn't warp. I got a floating trem and I find that for E I can use 042-009 and they seem about right, for Eb I can use 046-010 and they seem about right and for D I can use 052-011 and that seems abiut right. So...

I recently put a Seymour Duncan JB in my guitar and it sounds really sweet!

Hey doc... I thought I heard what sounded like some oriental sounds in there for a little bit before it changed direction. Speaking of which, everytime I listen to these compositions you create, it's like every note is a change in direction from the previous note... I don't mean this in any...

Umm well... Yngwie puts out a record every couple of years like he's been doing for the last 15 years! Those of you who doubt his musical ability I recommend you check out Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E flat minor, Opus 1 How many other guitarists you know that can score...

Well Rhoads used a lot of different effects... although he's probably reknowned for his use of chorus effects. You could try adding some chorus to your solos.. that'd certainly thicken it up a little... my general solution to solos is to avoid heavy reverb, instead use a multi-tap delay but I...

How many rhythm guitar tracks are you recording?? You wanna full, oversized killer sound?? Record at least 4 rhythm guitar tracks (6 if you are a tight enough player) and pan them about 80% left and right.
