Tubemiester 18 and Mesa Boogie V25 Here are some guitar tones from a new mix. First up is the Tubemeister 18 through a closed back Mesa 1x12 cab and an SM57. It's on full power mode, drive channel. The master is dimed, the gain at 12:00. Treble 10:00, mid 2:00, bass 12:00. That's about it...

Thanks, man. The Boogie is not intuitive to dial in. Eight months with that amp and I am still learning its nuances. In that particular clip I scooped the mids too much. It works on an open back cab but I am learning the closed back needs a different EQ approach. The Tubemeister is a blast...

Telecaster and Mesa Boogie V 25. One last clip. Same as all the above, this time through the Mesa 25 watt head and closed back 1x12 cab. I'm using the 25 watt setting, clean channel, "fat" mode. This mode seems to be working best for me in most situations, regardless of guitar. Graphic EQ...

Telecaster and Trace-Elliot Velocette Here is the Trace-Elliot Velocette. It's a 15 watt combo with a pair of EL84s and a Vintage 10. Is is surprising loud. I bought this amp new in the early 2000s. These days, I use it mostly when I want a certain lead guitar sound, often with a Tele. If...

Telecaster and Fender Deluxe Reverb '65 Reissue Continuing on....here is the Deluxe Reverb. This would be my desert island amp. It's the same song as the two above, Tele soloed then the mix. To make a fair comparison, I double tracked the Deluxe. On each track, I'm using a blend of the...

Telecaster and Fender Princeton Reverb Classic While I'm at it... Same as above, but using the silverface Princeton 15 watt combo. I've had this amp about a year. It gets used pretty often. It's Fender's spinoff from the '65 blackface reissue. It is voiced for earlier breakup and uses a...

Telecaster and Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18 I auditioned the Tubemeister 18 for a cleanish rhythm part of a song. Here's the result. The meister has a different voice from that of the Mesa 5:25 that I've been using a lot lately. It has a brighter clean tone, with a strong midrange like a...

Here's the latest song with easlern on vocals and ibleedburgundy on drums. Great job guys! All comments welcome. Here's the starting mix. I'll work on lead and harmony vocals first, then drums and bass, then everything else. Thanks! Latest mix: Splash of Sunny Weather_Ray Taylor_Mix 20.mp3...

Anyone tried this mic? I picked one up to give me a new flavor for close miking guitar amps, as I've been using an SM57 for everything. From a couple of quick sessions, it does have a different sound. Looking forward to giving it a workout.

New song. Easlern on lead vocal, ibleedburgundy on drums. Good job guys. I'm working first on the vocals. Are the lead and harmony vox at the right level, blended? All comments welcome! Latest Mix: Crop Circles_Ray Taylor_Mix 7.mp3 - Google Drive Crop Circles Words and music by Ray...

Another remix of an album track getting ready to master. That's easlern on lead vocal and ibleedburgundy on drums. Good work guys! All comments appreciated. Right not I'm focused on getting the levels right, especially lead vocal and bass...

I'm working to finalize the mixes for all the songs Nick, Dave and I have recorded over the past year. It is nine songs so far. I'm hoping to finish the album this summer. We don't yet have a name for our project. Any suggestions? This was the first song the three of us recorded together...

I've been doing remixes of all our songs for the album, to get them ready to master. You might have heard this last year. I could use some ears. The main question is levels, vocals and bass especially. Thanks. Latest mix: Tall Order_Ray Taylor_Mix 10.mp3 - Google Drive Tall Order Word and...

I posted a demo of this song with my vocals in 2015. Here it is with easlern on lead vocal and ibleedburgundy on drums. Great work guys! This is a starting mix. I'm working on the lead vocal and the harmony blend. There's some editing to do on the harmonies, getting them tighter. There is...

Here's another song we have been working on. Dave did the drums. Jimistone sang the lead vocal. I have been wanting to do a collab with Jimi as long as I've been on the forum. It's great to finally get the chance. All comments welcome. Thanks. Latest mix...

Thanks Johnny. You're no slouch on guitar yourself. Yeah, totally Tele. Here's the setup: It's a very bright, ash body Tele through my 15 watt Trace-Elliot Velocette combo, an all tube Class A amp with a Celestion V10 speaker. That's my go-to amp for playing those countrified Tele leads...

Hi all. About a year ago I posted a demo of this song with programmed drums and my own vocals. Here's the group effort, with easlern on vocals and ibleedburgundy on drums. I've been working to get the lead and harmony vocals blended and sat in the mix. All suggestions welcome. Thanks...

I posted an early mix last summer. I retracked most of the guitars. Still working on the blend and levels, guitars especially. All comments welcome. The vocals are Nick (easlern). Drums are Dave (ibleedburgundy). This is a track from the upcoming album of our soon-to-be-titled...

I posted a demo of this with my own vocals and programmed drums about a year ago. Here is the realized version. Nick (easlern) did the lead vocal, Dave (ibleedburgundy) the drums. Thanks guys! New mix: On the Quarterdeck_Ray Taylor_Mix 15.mp3 - Google Drive On the Quarterdeck Words and...

Anyone heard of or tried wireless tracking headphones? All of the wireless headphones I've seen lately are bluetooth. That's not going to work. I prefer to monitor back directly from the audio interface in order to minimize latency. Therefore what I'm looking for would need to have a...
