    Sooooooo tired of fake drum threads.

    It almost sounds like I wrote that post. Im a guitarist but have been working on my drumming skills the last two years. I can almost make it through a song without going out of time. Maybe another year lol.

    opinnions on a Line 6 spider IV?

    I liked the Spider IV for about a week then it just didn't do anything for me anymore. The stories I ignored about them being sterile were true and I tried many different guitars and the thing was glitchy if you turn the overdrive up to high.

    Mastering Yourself?

    Im with Dave. I have been Mastering my own stuff for 10 years now and although I have wanted to have a pro do some of my mixes I always end up doing it myself because I really enjoy playing with myself :D

    CEP 2.0 and Firepod compatibility

    I am getting ready to hook up my Firepod when I get a Firewire card that will work on my Computer (XP Pro). I want to use my CEP because I'm fast with it and like it the best out of all my other recording software i.e. Sonar, Reaper, Cubase etc. My question is will CEP 2.0 record 8 tracks at...

    How to get a REAL tele

    I bought a Mexican Tele and it works just fine. 400 bucks plus hardshell case. It plays just as good as an American Tele as far as I can tell. I have had a few American made ones in the past and I have been playing for 35 years so Im not a newbie. I have had expensive strats stolen in the past...

    Editing help..what am I doin wrong

    I record 2 vocal tracks then I take one of them and offset it by .020 and it thickens the vocals a bit like a chorus effect. you will have to adjust the levels and I run the offset track with no effects and the main track with a touch of verb and compression. I then do 2 more tracks for add libs...

    Trouble mixing female vocals / take a listen

    I listened to the second mix. The lower range is a bit weak. The vox were slightly dry maybe add a touch of delay. You might want to double the vocal tracks and offset the second one by .020 or something like that and adjust the levels. It will give the vocals more width and some chorusing...

    [Hard Rock] Spania - Final Release

    The drums do sound great. I can't hear the bass much but I think the keys drown it out at times. The vocals sound a lot like Vovoid. Nice keyboard work. I think you could do a lot with this tune. I am a fan of Prog rock. Some shred gtr in there would do wonders for this tune.

    Some upbeat poppy rock.

    I didn't mind the snare but it is a tad too much up front. This song reminds me more of Greenday. Maybe get rid of the acoustic gtrs and add another dirty rhythm track and replace the acoustic towards the end with clean tele sound? Just some suggestions. The vox sounded good and laid well in...

    Face of an Angel (new song)

    You get real clean rhythm guitars. Nice song. I agree about the vox going in and out and they are also tinny sounding. Do you compress your vocal tracks at all? Even with a marginal mic it would help. I still use an SM57 and get ok results. I would also maybe add some layered guitar parts that...

    Desert Hiway-new tune

    Hi guys, Its been a while since I have recorded some tunes but I just got laid off from the mighty Hewlett Packard and am back to doing some tunes. I think I haven't forgot too much over the last few years of not recording. My newest tune is Desert Hiway. Its different than I would normally do...

    how to get a full acoustic guitar sound?

    I usually stereo mic it with sm57's and then add some chorus from my Mackie mixer board effects. It seems to work. I think the key is 2 mics and find the spots that give you the width and depth.

    Heavy Rock - Run Away

    Im using sample drum loops in acid now and they sound so much better than my DR-670....... This is my first song using drum loops. I just threw together the song so I just want to know what ya think of the drum sounds. Its also been awhile since I've done some heavy rock stuff. Run Away...

    Copyright risks, and the law

    I don't understand all the fuss....:( I can get sued if I wipe my ass with too much TP. Why even bother doing OPS (other peoples shit/songs) Our society is in a litigation nightmare. Why push it. I have done covers, but just for my own personal enjoyment and maybe I might let a few family...

    Damn, I stole a riff without knowing it...

    I thought it was a very good metal attempt for being out of your character. I didnt hear the Megadeth riff and I like Megadeth. I agree a rippin solo is just what this needs..... Ozzy once said "We are all rip offs" Do you wonder who Megadeth ripped off the riff from. I hear Dokken Cry of the...
