One of my friends bought me a Uke on Saturday. So I came up with a quick Uke song yesterday afternoon.

I'm using ReaGate to clamp down on some noise in very open parts of a hi gain track where I need very quick silent slops. However, later on I want the guitars to fade out into feedback and it clamps them too early. Do you know if there is an option where you can set ReaGate to only work on...

OK, so I'm not normally that arsed with lead tones - I normally just use my rhythm tone and turn it up a bit, maybe add a hint more gain. I'd like to make this fit better in with the Rhythm but I don't know quite how. Its a similar tone to the rhythm, possibly with a little more gain. Yes, I...

Played on a bunch of Mexican Teles yesterday. They were really good. They're pretty much half the price of their American Standard counterparts. £1000 quid for something as simple as a telecaster just seems silly. 500 quid for a Mexican is reasonable. What is the difference between the two...

Yeah, I was previously scooping at around 530 - just a little blip to try and remove the "boxy frequency" I couldn't actually give it much more high end or take away much more mid on the amp (unless I want it to have no bite at all). I think I have a 5K+ high shelf (for air) with a ~500 2-3db...

No worries, its good to have you opinion as I only seem to be able to get close to what I hear in my head but can't quite nail it. This is moving the mic back closer to the centre and it sounds thicker but the harshness comes back into it.

Cheers, Jimi - I noticed the same thing myself and I made a couple of adjustments based on what Bob said. I like the result but doesn't sound huge like Greg's clips. EDIT: I've recorded some adlib stuff with my normal tone but using the altered mic placement that Bob suggested yesterday...

Greg, Listened to them on my AKG reference cans now. The first and the third sound best - they all sound thick and heavy though, they sound like they're fucking loud! There seems to be a little bit of something nasty and buzzy creeping into the 2nd one - dunno why its not there in the 3rd...

Here's random one too - I've barely posted any OCD stuff and I really like it - I hardly ever use it for recording but I always use it when I'm just jamming away, particularly at low volume. Its just a mix of pickups, split neck humbucker and full bridge humbucker, first the OCD on its own and...

OK, so here's 4 versions of seek and destroy. All have the SD1 in front of them. One is with the OCD as the drive. The others are using the amp but I've bumped the mids up slightly more than where I normally have them which has actually just introduced a minging midrange frequency. One clip is...

I tried one the other day, it felt pretty good. Anyone else tried one? Got any strong opinions about them?

Afternoon guys, been meaning to start rerecording this for ages, one of the heavier songs I've done but I don't want it to be too gainy. Started re-tracking it this afternoon.

Finished this as planned this afternoon... but now I've stuck the vocals on it seems bit short... Regardless, tell me what you think of the mix: Here's Mix 2 - its amazing what you can achieve sober with a coffee and a Welsh cake. And here's mix 3 - wasn't going to come back to this yet...

You're right - it does sound a bit better. It reduces that weird phasey effect I was getting from the slight pitch variations in the choruses. I've moved all vocals to the centre, put one of the tracks a couple of db quieter and added a hint more reverb to it. I've also lowered the snare by...

I've just been to the bakery to get a pasty. This is a pie:

OK gents, here's a quick vocal test mix of this, just one verse and chorus: This seems to sit together a little better than the other one - its a far simpler song though.

Gents, since sorting all my shit out in my various directories of recording stuff I've made a list of things to finish. This one is first: Give me a hand getting everything to sit together nicely.

Like most of you I reckon I have a directory with about a million projects in it. I've made a shortlist of 14 projects that I want to take to completion - some are nearly done, some need a complete re-working. Anyway, is there an easy way of moving the directories for these 14 projects...

haha, I'm not sure about that myself - they sound better in the mix - they slap quite a lot when you listen to them solo'd. Here's the full mix. There's a touch more 'verb on the hard panned rhythms than the more centred leads.
