Anyone want to guess what he's using here, effects-wise? (he's the bald one). I've tried overdriving my gibson and putting a little chorus on it and reverb, sounds pretty close. I think that sound with that riff is beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c28fin9mII

It's early and I just thought of this beat. I'm not a drummer. Anyone want to try it out?

I'm working on a song and I have the 1st verse, pre chorus, and chorus. Before I keep writing I want to see what y'all think so far. The parts of the chorus in brackets have pretty distinct melody/rhythm and I was thinking I could use them in every chorus. You know, to make it chorusy. (verse)...

Here's what I have to work with: Audio-Technica 4040 (large condenser) Audio-Technica 4041 (small condenser) Shure SM-58 (dynamic) Sennheiser e-835 (dynamic) Audix OM-2 (dynamic) Need to record a 4-piece kit. Where would you put stuff?

For some reason I'm having trouble when I record 24-bit. I set the interface and the software to the same bit depth. When I play what I have recorded, it's all messed up sounding, like poppy and time-shifted. If I set everything to 16-bit, I have no problems. I am using: Sonar LE Edirol...

I've begun a new "quest", this time for an acoustic guitar: steel string, no cutaway, no pickup, just a great acoustic for writing and recording. If you had $2199, would you get a Martin HD-16R ($2199), or a Seagull Artist Studio, ($1099)? All of the guitars I played under $400 had subtle...

I am trying to mix a song that my band recorded. -The first step I have taken is trimming the tracks just enough so that they don't clip (boosted most of them but reduced a couple) -Now I am planning to move on to compression (especially the bass guitar) -Once I have the dynamics smoothed out...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu-1Ql-zx4I @ 0:44 That sounds like guitar, right? (the sustained chord) Any ideas how one might mimic that? I've been trying different pickup selections, eq, reverbs, and picking locations. just wondering if i might be missing something big. i know it's...

I live in Austin, TX, and today I was checking out fultonwebbamps.com. (local maker). Does anyone have any experience with this company? The prices seem very high, and I'm just wondering why. I couldn't find any of their stuff on craigslist or ebay. For instance, their 30 watt is more than...

I want to buy a new tube amp soon and I am prepared to spend somewhere in the $1,000 ballpark. 2 X 12 combo has always seemed to be the right fit for me, but I am curious about the smaller amps I see. I play in a 4-piece rock band. Should I try a 1 x 12 or should I stick with a 2 x 12? So...

I just bought twelve panels of Owens Corning 705 rigid fiberglass. (2' x 4' x 2") I have a rehearsal room that is also used occasionally for recording. The room dimensions are approximately...x: 10' y: 15' z: 9'. My plan is to cut right-triangles and stack them in the three available corners...

Not sure what is a better option: the AT 4050 ($599) or the AT4040 w/ 4041 ($499). What would you get? (I will be recording vocals and acoustic guitar)

When Christmas arrives, it will be time to buy a new amp. I want to be ready. I play mainly rhythm chords and arpeggiated picking for 80s/90s influenced alt rock. (crowded house, nirvana, pumpkins, vast) I play an American HSS standard strat with no effects. I would like footswitchable...

I am interested in the Fender Deville amps. They offer a 4X10" configuration as well as a 2X12" configuration, both with the same wattage and basically the same price. Can anyone give me any tips on how to choose between these? The only thing I can think of is that the 12s will give more...
