if you wnt a drop in replacement for the neck pickup, check out the G&L ASAT MFD Neck pup, I always thought that the neck pickup on teles were pretty useless till I played A G&L tele . also the MFD ( magnetic field density) pups have adjustable pole pieces. the g&l online store has decent...

Of course , in my situation I am talking about using drum loop wav files which are actual recorded live drums, not using midi which is what your original question asked. And sorry to get off topic but whenever I hear the phrase "one man band" my mind always conjures up pictures of a guy with...

I've made some good recordings using wavs of drum loops, like Beta Monkey and Mick Fleetwood's Total Drumming, Some songs you know made with drum loops: Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac You got Lucky by Tom petty Heart of the Matter by Don Henley quite a bit of The traveling wilburys and alot of...

Wiffleball, You seem kinda old school like me , I like using standalones they're quick and easy for laying down tracks,then mixing on my computer. my fav is the Boss BR1600 , very easy learning curve, however the trax need to be converted to wav files for mixing on your computer which...

you said u are 75% there , what is it you dont like about it?

for warmth, use a tube mic preamp,but not cheap one that uses a starved plate system , the EH 12AY7 mic preamp is the cheapest that actually puts 400v on the the plate but your interface needs to hav balanced inputs or you will get noise, For depth ,use several mics spaced every few feet from...

my thoughts on this are yes you can make a professional recording. Basically the equipment everybody has (outside of mics and mic preamps) is better than what the Beatles had. "Hank Williams the 3rd" recorded his album "Straight to Hell" on a Korg D1600, . And watch your GAS (gear acquisition...

Pick up a digital multitrack, like a used yamaha aw16g ,8 track simultaneous record tracks ,16 playback, seen em on eBay under $200 record, mix ,master burn cd all on one device,

I suggest you put on a set of tape wound bass strings, there is no finger or fret noise and gives a really nice deep bass tone, I prefer my bass to sound like a cross between an upright and an electric bass, kinda like 60's era hits when they double tracked an upright and electric bass, tape...

my modus operandi for acoustic drum loops i have an old version of acid 6 which I use for constructing the drum tracks, I use mainly Beta Monkey drum loops and Mick Fleetwood's Total Drumming loops ( which has a great bohnamesque feel). I find the main groove I want to use , then lay a scratch...

I have to agree with you there, I like to put a sonic maximizer between my CD player and stereo, I have always called it the magic box. try it let it play a few minutes then bypass the maximizer and it sounds like there is a blanket over the speaker

acoustic shine try this, it works great for harmonies, no reason why it wouldn't work for an acoustic guitar: make a copy of the acoustic on another track hi-pass everything under 4k add a hi-shelf at 11 k ( boost it 10db) compress it alot ( 10 db of gain) blend the track with with the...

You are correct, I am being a bit simplistic, but I am a big believer in the "KISS Principle", I am not against the use of compessors, but I have heard too much compression kill the dynamics and instrument separation in songs, That's why I try not to look at wave forms too much, I find them...

My apologies, Not a single reply to my original thread so I assumed people didn't see it for some reason,hence the second posting . Maybe no one is interested. Perhaps the ,"powers that be " can remove one, for alas, I cannot or don't know how.

anyone record with acoustic drum loops? I had picked up some Beta Monkey loops and Mick Fleetwoods total drumming and I like using them cause I have more control over my songs ,it is also faster than having the band come over ,teach them my song, set up drums for recording and rarely do I get a...
