Yes. Yes and if you read the post, you can see that I said the same thing. The quest ultimately leads to treatment, but it's a self discovery. It's an informed purchase. You don't need to treat a room completely for doing basic recording. Basic, as in acoustic guitar and vocals. You can get...

education Yes education is key, but action speaks louder than words. Take simple steps to reduce reflections, then go for broke and track your heart out. JIMBOdrummer is right, it's all about catching those reflections. I use foam tiles in key places in my room. I have factual evidence in...

Yes it's definitely worth re-examination. Thanks for the advice RAMI. You'd need to hear it to know what I mean . I've never heard something so punchy and clean at the same time. But you're certainly right, it all starts at the source. I'll simply have to try again... and again. The cleaner...

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...

Riff Bag I am also a composer. I'm a better guitarist than singer though. I know it's not what you want to hear, but you have to try it. Divine inspiration someone??? Poets write poems without music. You need the music. Even silly lyrics work fine on music (i'm sure your stuff isn't silly)...

Hrmmm Question: Are the pops hapenning at the SAME spot each time when you play back the wav that you exported???? (I know the problem is also in your software, but I'm just curious.) If the incident is random ... I might be way off here, but you're desperate right? I have seen the situation...

Another suggestion that's like the original post .. That same guy once told me that he was thinking about setting up a room so that he could have "blankets" fall from the ceiling , perhaps initially rolled on the ceiling and held there with some sort of clip. The idea is that these 'blankets'...

Silly suggestion. This guy I know once told me that to make vocals more intimate in a 'bad' room, that he puts an open hard-shell guitar case behind the mic stand and it seems to work. I took this idea a bit further and gutted a hard shell guitar case and added carpeting and acoustic foam...

How you can't loose. My friend Tony rants about Reaper. He told me it was free to try and that if you like it, then you can pay. So why not try Reaper? Give it a shot. If you like it, buy it, instead Cubase. It may be all you need. Your toneport , i believe would act like any other sound...

We're on the same boat. First post since feb 2004 btw. Maybe this will help. Maybe it won't. I have this nice Yamaha acoustic and although it plays so well, the internal pickup doesn't do it justice. It was so frutrating. I tried effects, and was happy-ish with the sound, until i realized...

acorec, please post a url to the specific thread you mentionned at prosound web. TheOnTrueMatt, ain't nothing wrong with a triple rectumfrier .. sounds amazing, but unless you can afford a nice clean amp and all the switching electronics, it ain't worth it. Triaxis doesn't touch the rectifier...

You're right that tubes aren't 'that' expensive. .. and you're not the only one who's a bit freaked out when faced with 10,000 settings to twiddle with. I just really really wanted this to work and my beast of an amp isn't always around when i need it. Took me an afternoon to start dialing...

As mentioned however, I have tried just about every popular gadget / plugin out there. My amp is wonderful. I am looking for comments on the particular plugin mentioned.

Love your tube amp .. isn't that one of the 10 comandments, right up there with "listen to the sound tech" and "don't bother the mastering engineer". hehehe.

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...
