32Bit Sonar X3 Win 8.1 and Lexicon Reverb bundle. I had LexPlate on a Bus (just the first preset chosen) and wanted to try a different preset. I selected another preset and it crashed Sonar completely. Some error message about the reverb being corrupted and to reinstall it. So I did 3 times and...

This is one of my first original songs, I think I originally recorded it 8 or 9 years ago - but I’ve never been happy with the arrangement. I approached BroKen_H after hearing some of his amazing piano playing on another collab. He was kind enough to send me a great piano track which I think...

Going forward we're recording at 96/24. Seems a little bit brighter and more defined. Tried 192k but the compressor on the mains was full of static. CA2A can't do it past 96 K and my Lexicon U42S tops out there too. But still double resolution (and file size).

Here's the inside of my comp - you can see the tubes on the right side where the compressor is.

So I got the free strings today. What a big box full of air bags. :D:D:D:D

Remixed this with a new guitar part as it seemed a little sparse before. All guitars are my Custom through Marshall JVM 210 and JCM 900. Let me know how everything sounds. I have all weekend to remix this except for that 1 hour I lose when I turn my clock back.

Crappy phone pic but you can see the dots

My EC has a bit of tarnish on them - any suggestions for cleaning that won't screw up my frets or fretboard. I tried fingernail, cloth, spit lol, but it's not coming off. Do I need to masking tape my frets? Side note - my saddles are a little blackened/tarnished too - anything for that? This...

Restrung 3 of my guitars this morning and every one of the unwound strings had that black crap on them. This has been going on for years, and I'm not impressed. How do they get away with this???? There oughta be a law.

Hey - redid the mix on this starting all over mixing without anything on the mains and used a bit more eq on some channels (something I've been working on lately). Only after I had what I think is a fairly good mix, did I put it through a comp/limiter for at the end for some tone and to get the...

Sam Smith to pay Tom Petty royalties on 'Stay With Me'

So there were popups, malware and surveys and crap - I will not be checking this out.

Noticed that the CA2A compressor tends to pull up the bottom end and make the bass boomy. Rarely use it on bass as a result. Then just left the compressor low enough that it doesn't compress and jacked the gain up by 10 from the basic setting (whatever that means - 40 to 50). Found that the bass...

Hamilton Steele - Nothing's Going On Down Here EDIT - new mix (same link above) I'll put details down in a new post below. If you drop by and listen let me know how the mix is. Hi - here' a new tune we finished this afternoon. mjhamil - Guitar, Bass ido1957 - Guitar, Vocals Poeticintensity -...

I wasn't sure how to title this thread so I'll try to explain it her in the post itself. I've been to a few Songwriting forums lately. The critics seem to be super concerned with the lyrics. The need to be "more meaningful", "show me, don't tell me", "more specific", "tell us the whole 10...

Makes it go sharp on the second fret. Quite noticeable on an open D chord because I use my index finger on that string. Don't notice it so much on open A or bar chords. Nothing more distracting than an OOT guitar. It takes a light touch obviously but it annoying becaue I have never had that...

Here's the mic'd versions using the same guitars/amp settings. Quick rough mix should be fairly same level. I hear a tone difference compared to the CabClone.

CabClone - XLR seems to be the cure for the fizz. Might actually be my 1/4 inch cable (I'll check later). Next post has mic'd versions so you can hear the difference.

Here's some clips of the CabClone on my Marshall JCM900 so you can hear what it does. Still working out the tone and gain settings. I cranked the master on both channels to about 3/4 and turned the preamp gain to about 1/3 on both. Using my LPC which has a bit more grit than my Strat or Kramer...
