Burn . . .

Sorry. I don't have a D12 or know how to use it. Just posting so you know people are reading your thread.

Yeah I've kind of suspected that for a long time. This cab definitely has a sound and it's the classic Marshall vintage rock kind of sound. I'd love to get my hands on a Mesa cab. We're not a screamo or nu-metal project, though. Think Promise Ring, Braid, Get-Up Kids with some Saves the Day...

I experimented around with it more this weekend and decided that the tone I was getting "on tape" (more like on hard disk) was pretty accurate to the tone I was actually hearing in the room, so I hooked a friend's V-Amp up to the Return on the amp's effect loop and cranked that baby up. That...

My only issue with turning down the gain is that I've tried that advice a lot, since it is like the ultimate guitar recording maxim, and never had any success. What I get when I turn down the distortion is graininess. Could be I'm doing something wrong. Any help would be great.

Have you guys listened to heavy rhythm guitar on CDs and tried to get that tone on a recording? I get close, but I'm still experiencing a more open, relatively more harsh midrange than that. I'm curious if maybe mastering would have something to do with it. I know they apply compression in the...

My motherboard can definitely go past 1 GB. It can actually go up to 3 if I recall correctly. The sound card is a Delta 1010LT. It does have direct monitoring but that's pretty annoying. I'm going to screw around with the ASIO settings and what not. My project's done though, so I won't have any...

That's cool. I started recording at 96khz recently and it introduced a couple of problems. Higher latency, plus it seemed like during playback I have more tendency for pops and clicks. So I added some RAM to 1 GB and that still didn't help my latency issue. I guess adding a hard drive would fix...

I have always heard the recommendation not to record to the same drive as your system, but I have for quite awhile. I was wondering if I got a second drive to record to if it would cut my latency and get rid of pops during playback?

The old rule is "If it sounds good, it is good," so don't go buying another amp if you like your Crate. Just because your Crate sounds poor on recordings is not a good enough reason to get a new amp. The issue could be how you are recording the amp. You may need to rethink your method. Start by...

So which singer were each of you commenting on? :confused:

Just so it is clear what singer we are talking about (because there are two in those clips): He doesn't sing the first part of Star Map or the choruses, but sings the verses. He sings all of Friends and Ends, and he doesn't sing on any of the song "Hey Jennifer." Sorry if there is any...

Here's a voice that he'd like to sound more like: http://www.purevolume.com/falloutboy We want to figure out a way to track his voice well and then also make it bigger.

Hi, I'm looking for a sub-$500 mic for demo recording with our singer. He has a weaker output than a lot of singers and his voice is in a range where it fights with other things in the mix. Here are the clips of our last demo: http://www.purevolume.com/otisburg What would be a great mic for...

Sounds like a job for Drumagog.
