I posted this in "Other Equipment and reviews", but thought this might be better suited for this forum: Has anyone tried this yet? A guitar player sampled this clip on another board. Very impressive. Sounds just like a Dumble! Cue into the middle solo: Waves GTR tool sample clip Anyone have...

Mic pre for killer blues guitar tracks? For this project, I am recording 1-2 tracks of lead guitar over a pre-recorded professional backing track. I need a quality but affordable ( hopefully under $700 ) 2 channel mic pre. Hi-Z inputs would be a bonus. I think I'm on the right track. I'll be...

Has anyone tried this yet? A guitar player sampled this clip on another board. Very impressive. Sounds just like a Dumble! Waves GTR tool sample clip Anyone have any exprience with this software? I might have to check it out...

Does anyone know Stevie's recording set up? What mics, mic positions, reverbs ( amp verb mixed with a lexicon ? ), amps, ect... I saw a picture of his studio set up in a magazine from along time ago, and now for the life of me, I can't remember what magazine it was. I know he changed it from...

I am installing the UAD 1 on my system. Which do I select? VST or Directx? Isn't VST strictly for Cubase? I'm running Windows XP and using Cakewalk GTP 3. Thanks... Derek

What is your usual procedure applying outboard reverb within your DAW? Ps- I also posted this in the Cakewalk forum, but after second thought, this forum seemed more appropriate.

What is your usual procedure applying outboard reverb within your DAW? This is what I have found that personally works for me: I solo the instrument(s) that need the reverb and then record the effect to a new track. After I have recorded the track(s) I want it on, I blend judiciously to taste...

1. Do you apply stereo or mono reverb to 2 mono tracked rhythm guitar tracks panned left and right? 2. What instruments do you guys usually apply stereo reverb to during mixdown?

Does anyone know where you can get live audience wav samples? This is crazy, I have googled this, searched these boards and have not had any success. I would think this would be much easier to find. Derek

Do you guys know if the typical guitar solo is tracked in mono or stereo ( ie- BB King, Page, Al Di Meola, Beck, ect. ) ? It sounds to me like 95% of lead guitars are in mono. If mono, is there a logic behind this? So it leaves room for backing vocals and keyboards? What if there is no backing...

Hall and Ambience Reverb - What's the difference? I read a trick engineers use to create depth in their mixes is to mix stereo hall reverbs for depth and stereo "ambient" reverbs for width. I know hall reverbs are like Madison Square Garden, Operas, Churches and such. What would you consider...

If you needed to isolate and EQ only the kick on a drum loop (s) to synch up with the bass, how would you go about it? Would you cut and paste just the kick portions of the loop on another track and eq that track? How would you align the kick drum to the proper timing placement? I'm using...

I'm pretty new to acoustical treatment. I'm about to order from foambymail.com to treat my room and I have some Wharfedale Diamond Pro 8.2 monitors on the way. As of now, above is my humble 11' x 11' studio where I do my mixing and sometimes track vox and sometimes guitars ( usually in living...

Is it possible to compress 2 inputs simultaneously using the PRO VLA? ( ie- compress the direct bass and miced bass cab before going into soundcard? ) Or should I just compress the direct bass and leave the miced bass line uncompressed? Thanks, Derek
