    My guitar is driving me f**king CRAZY!!

    Hey guys. I'm an idiot when it comes to anything about the design/structure of guitars, especially ones with floating bridges. I got an Ibanez S670 with an Ibanez ZR bridge over a month ago, as talked about in this thread, and it was fine when I got it. Now two things are bothering me: There's...

    Predictions for the Future of Audio

    I just got thinkin' there of what kind of stuff we'll be able to do with audio in the next 10-20 years. I'm sure back in the 60's, the thoughts of the capabilities we have today with digital audio would have been unthinkable. Autotune? Beat-detective? Amp simulators? Pfft. I have a feeling...

    "Early Hours" - Philbagg goes Trance

    So, I haven't really been around much lately, but I've been keeping busy with this. I mainly do rock/metal stuff, but I have a thing for Trance music aswell, and I'm thinking I could make a career out of this. My sister's been DJ'ing for years, and knows some cool people. She's over in Ibiza for...

    Can someone check this tone for me?

    Hey guys. It's been a long time since I've heard the dry signal of a good guitar. My one sucks. I am struggling to get a decent tone with it. To me, the signal coming from the guitars direct signal is really muddy, and unclear. Add distortion on top of that :rolleyes: I'm writing a lot of...

    Philbagg actin' the Bolsheviks - "If I Could"

    Wrote this song about 2 years ago, recorded/mixed it about 18 months ago. The mix is terrible, overly compressed, and doused in reverb. Acoustic = DI'd, bad guitar :o Electric = Terrible :o Drums = Sampled :o Bass = Pretty good actually :) So, I'm not lookin' for any mix critique, but...

    Philbagg actin' the b****cks - 80's style solo

    Poorly intonated, cheap guitar. 1 clean track, 1 main solo track, and 2 "light" solo tracks. Polished turd, mountains of EQ. Just messing around really :o Not looking for any mix critique really, just thought I'd throw it up because I'm a loser with nothing better to do :laughings...

    Sending large files

    'ello :) A band has recently got in touch with me about a session I did with them over a year ago, and they're looking for the Pro Tools session. They don't live near me. The session is over 3GB in size. I can throw them all into a single (or multiple) .rar file, but I need a way of sending it...

    Question about the Focusrite Red Compressor

    This baby :) Do the dials point from the big end or the small end? For example: Is the attack on the top channel closer to Fast or Slow? Thanks :)

    What I've been up to lately... (Metal)

    First and foremost, these are recordings taken straight from Guitar Pro, so it will probably sound like something out of a video game, and it won't have vocals :o ...you can still critique the mix if you like... :laughings: I've been on a two years writers block, and I'm starting to come out...

    Sennheiser HD 205 Headphones

    Just wondering, has anyone used these? I own a pair. I've read some reviews online and people talk about "great bass, great treble" etc. I'm starting to wonder if my pair is faulty. Like, the bass is there, the high end is there, but there's about a 6db boost around 1k, and I don't find it...

    So, I'm writing again...

    ...for the first time in about two years... and I'm getting headaches over arrangement :mad: Dark-themed thrash/heavy/power metal song. I got the riffs, the structure's buggin the crap outta me! It's that classic problem of the song being too long, but when you shorten it down it feels "rushed"...

    Crisp & clear vocal sound

    I was listening to this song today: video (skip to about 32 seconds for the vocals, and go HD - better audio quality) It's one of the clearest vocals I've ever heard. It's close, yet spacious. You can hear every breath, every consonant so clearly. She sounds huge (not literally :p) even though...

    Question about Mastering EQ

    I just read this in an article about mastering: A high pass filter at 60Hz? That sounds a little strange to me :confused:

    Room Treatment/Monitor EQ

    Ok, I'm gonna take a plunge here and try to deal with the bashings (go easy fellers :D). Some steps you take in treating your room are getting an omni mic and a room analyser and measuring the differences between the signal audio and the room sound right? So let's say you have bumps at 40Hz...

    Optimize Windows XP for Pro Tools - can be applied to Vista and 7 also

    I've been asked for this a few times lately, so I thought I'd leave it here. I'd advise anybody running Pro Tools to do these steps. This was sent to me by Digidesign when I was having some issues with Pro Tools, and it really boosted performance. Although this guide is for XP, it can be...
