d'you notice how during the metal parts (of Ayreon), that the Bass and Kick or so tight and snappy it can give you a nose bleed ?? I have never heard this anywhere before. (My musical knowledge is also limitted .. lol) Anybody (Ayreon fans) know how to do this? I've tried: 1- Using sidechain...

Bear with me , i'm not gloating, there's a point to this .. I own a mesa boogie triple rectifier. Sounds like a dream .. it breathes, it's blue, it's harsh, it mirrors my emotion ... and yeah it's got a dozen tubes in it. It odesn't have to be a monster .. it can pur. ... she's a high...

Alright here goes. Purchased a midiman audiophile usb for recording on the go with my laptop. Finally got software monitoring (sigh) to work pretty well with a latency of about 6 or 7 ms. When monitoring a stereo signal, it seems that the 'panning' is all mushed into the midle. Example...

Big problem. The roland/pintech kit we use for jaming is giving us such a headache , it's unreal. It never produces pop's when recording .. of course .. it is electronic after all ... but when you try to play at a decent volume level .. it creates pops in the headphones when the drummer play...

Was wondering if people use mic pre's when tracking guitar amps. So far, it has been my assumption to just mic the amp, line the mic to the mixer and that's all. (SM57) Been getting good results, but am just wondering if the 'best' results are with a mic pre with EQ set flat. .. Or does the...

Need advice. there's this 4 member, really talented church group that want me record, mix, post process and burn to cd about 2 hours worth of choir stuff. It being a church and all , this gig goes to the lowest bidder ... i'm doing it for free. My motto with this project is: "What comes...

Before you throw up your hands and ask why the hell did i get a gutar with a lo-trs II ... let me show you my account balance ... ---- 0$ Ok so my Ibanez has a lo-trs II floating bridge. When i do a whammy dive , and release , the guitars tuning drops by a half step or so. I am therefore...

Can someone please clarify the precise technical differences between these two products? (not considering price and user interface) Why would I choose one over the other? Assuming price isn't a factor. (Now before anybody tries to find my address and rob me, i'll tell you that price is a BIG...

Well this is a new mix .. can't get it quite right. things are muddy .. things aren't cool. help!!! please only judge the one tune. It's called : Sunday It lives here: www.nowhereradio.com/empire/singles Tristan

Guys I have a big problem in terms of 'picking' sound .. and it's not my playing. The picking sound is like a high frequency zipper of some sort. I can't remove it from the mixes. The original thread lives here ..... (I was told to ask the guitar forumn)...

Maybe my rig ain't top notch. I have to live with it. Micing and/or changing rigs is not an option. Please bear that in mind when answering. I can however spend about 300$ on the problem. PROBLEM: When recording any guitar passage that requires picking, the sound of the pick is so prominent...

let's try this again. I posted earlier this week. Alas not as sonically rich as sitt'n idol's but slowly (really slowly) getting there with your help. This is a fresh new mix entirely 'processed' with a single plugin. (not Ozone) I threw out free filter, l2 maximizer and an EQ and went for...

Do your worst. I'm looking for mixing critique. Let me know how 'spacially' everything fits together or not. Tell me what's too weak and what's too much so that I can fix it. My sense of 'pan' tends to lean to the left. No jokes please. :-) I'm looking for tone critique: Guitar sounds...

well? The Antares Mic Modeller. Is it worth the bytes it's stored on? Does anybody have experience with it? Should I shell out the bucks for it, or should I bend over and risk it all on a SINGLE expensive vocal microphone? My monthly budget is in the low hundreads of dollars.. very low...

http://www.nowhereradio.com/empire/singles Check out 'Mellowin out'. I wasn't gonna post it on here cause the lead guitar sounds off .. but i need advice. For the life of me I can't get the piano to jump out. What the heck am I doing wrong?
