I usually record in stereo though all of my keyboards will send mono out through the left jack if there is nothing plugged into the right. The piano perspective has come up in forums before. It turns out that in pop music if it is panned at all it's almost always the pianist perspective and it...

If you are using different mics and getting the same result then it's either the room, the guitar or the way you are micing. I would agree with keith about using 1 mic also. At least to start . Most of my eq'ing is done by mic choice, guitar choice and positioning. The eq I do afterword is...

I had one tune that sounded best with three limiters from three different Dev's on the mix bus to sound it's most balanced.

I had to get a larger drive for my HP Pavilion laptop with the same port limitations. I did find that my Scarlett 2i2 works great with a USB3 to USB C adaptor.

I have a 4050 and a 3035 and though they are good mics they aren't my first choice for guitar exactly because they are so uncolored. A 57 or 58 has a recognizable boost in the upper mids which is popular for guitar recording, however a decent quality budget ribbon will get you plenty of...

So here's the thing, guitar tone kind of get's lost the higher the gain which is why the old standby for recording is to have lower gain preamp and drive the hell out of the speakers to get the sweet singing sustain without the fizz and a treble booster input if you have too much low end. That's...

what aren't what?

So I don't know how everyone is doing their bass tracks but I thought I would run down the most common set ups I use for anyone who is interested to try. First I found that I get the best tone using a direct box and going in balanced. Depending on the song I may also record a live amp in the...

I actually use Pro Tools primarily and I have both Mac and Windows setups. But my main Mac is an old Quicksilver running PT LE 5.3 beta and I have the latest and greatest on a Dell XPS that I have built up. I also have PT 8 on a Mac G8 which I rarely use. I have 4 laptops running various...

No ASIO.

Plugin-Alliance has a GK emulation that I like. As always, wait for sales. Free demo. https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/gallien_krueger_800rb.html

I bought these at Home Depot and screwed the holders into the desk and riser:

I just right click everything to see what comes up.

I must be a dummy, I always thought it was there even on win7.

Windows media player will still run in windows 10. I still use it all the time. I actually disable the win 10 player. WMA is in the Windows Accessories menu in the start tab/menu.

With a 57 on the grill cloth in the right position this works great. Not so much with the BD ribbon IMHO. I have a solid state Chinese "Fender Frontman 25" in my living room that remains miced up with a 57 at a slight angle at the edge of the speaker dome and it sounds great.

Yes. I have a couple of practice amps (20-25 watts, 8-10 inch speakers) and I will stick the amp on a chair in the closet, put a ribbon ~12-16" from the speaker on a standard boom mic stand and throw a packing blanket over the whole shebang, stand, chair, amp and mic. Doesn't have to completely...

First post too much gain on the amp, mic too close and pointed too far center of the cone for that mic. Roll the top end with no more than a 6 db slope at around 5k. Or lower. It won't sound right when you first make such a big change but once your ear adjusts it will sound perfectly fine, just...

Watched the Green Day's Heart Like a Hand Grenade making of doc and a cool idea that they ran with is to take 3 different short songs that each member got stuck at about a minute and combined them into a three part three and half minute mini opus. So if you can find a way to string the disparate...
