    beer drinkers and hell raisers

    Oh yeah....cool man. Don't do a thing to it. It's raw and real and as previously mentioned.....brings me back to a fun time with some buddies of mine up north.....a long time ago. 2 cents worth of....wish I was there! Mick

    Sliding sounds between chords

    Yeah.....likely you need to learn how to mute the strings with your pick hand palm as you move from chord to chord. Is this the first time you've heard yourself playing electric guitar on a recording? If so....it's natural to be surprised and hear more than you thought before. Post a sample...

    Recording my V drums on Zoom R8 portable recorder

    My very basic set of Roland V Drums Lite has both a headphone out and a line out from the module. Which one are you using? 2 cents worth of morning chat. Mick

    Pickup placement in a one-off bass build?

    Yeah...seriously......I don't think most guitarists realize how short that Ric 325 scale really is. It's 20.75 inches!! It's difficult to play!! I have small hands and I have trouble. I guess John Fogerty and John Lennon had no trouble though. 2 cents worth of questioning Lennon and...

    Pickup placement in a one-off bass build?

    Well......I have to differ with you a bit there Chili. I have a Ric 325 and...man.....that's a VERY short scale.....VERY. If he was still alive......maybe John Lennon would disagree with you.........or maybe not. I guess you were mainly referring to short scale bass guitars??? 2 cents worth...

    Which instrument is too loud?

    Everything sounds basically like it should...as you stated....mono tracks......no effects...no EQ. It's nice and clean and you can really put a lot of character in it if you wanted to. As for the bass........yes....it's too "fat" and without character IMO. It needs more mid frequency. Find...

    Pickup placement in a one-off bass build?

    Hmmm.....I have no idea if there's some sort of formula. I kind of doubt it. However......going from a single to two pickups involves a number of different things of course. What will you use for controls? Have you decided that? I'd guess that you need to start with the ohm resistance of...

    Not sure which speaker setup to use.

    Hi Tornado77...and welcome! To be 100% honest neither setup seems to be very useable.......and you already know that your 2.1 system doesn't translate well. The Roland Cube is not really flat in terms of a frequency response. Don't use that IMO. So...what brand and model is your 2.1...

    Mastering With Mastering Software

    ^^^^keith.rogers makes a good point about Ozone. It does seem to want to add a bit more sub-bass than needed.........and for sure.....unless you're doing a fairly busy mix with a fairly wide overall frequency range......the "assistant" gets the EQ wrong. But....I always know that going in. I...

    Mastering With Mastering Software

    I completely agree with you Massive. The mastering process was and still is best done by someone outside of the original tracking and creating.....especially if you're looking to form some sort of "collection" / album with a cohesive character sound. I think the original creator so often gets...

    Hearing loss

    2 years ago I had an air hose explode very near my head. Picture filling a tire with air. I was completely deaf for about a minute I think. My ears rang for a day after. I did get to an ENT about a week later and my right ear has a broad drop off after 6k.....still good mids....and weaker...

    New Strat Build - Problem Solved

    I have another Strat (that one is genuine) that's also blocked up and spring tightened like crazy...with 5 springs and screws very far in......but do not have the same issue with that one. I tested the springs and there was no detectable (by ear anyway) harmonic tone of any sort. I guess the...

    New Strat Build - Problem Solved

    I recent Strat type build I did had a weird sound problem. It had a sort of "acoustic overtone" in every switch position. I thought it might be the pups I chose so I changed them and the problem really didn't get solved. I had locked down the trem / bridge with 5 springs and by screwing the...

    New Build

    Thanks Lazer. I'm not going to go crazy trying to cover the opening if there's no solution......but I can't think I'm the only person who's wanted to do this.....so there must be some solution out there. I do have it locked down with all 5 springs right now. I don't want to fill the...

    New Build

    Jumping in here to ask a question.....sort of related to a build. I built a Strat style guitar a while back. I like it but I want to change it to a hard tail bridge. Yes...I know I can block off the trem...etc...etc.......but I'd like to install a true hard tail bridge. The ash body is...

    Maybe dumb question about Beyerdynamic DT770s

    FYI......The Sony 7506 are collapsing headphones. As well....they are known to have an inherent "thin" mid-range. Now....yes....there's little doubt that they'll reveal upper frequency noises that many other phones won't catch. They're famous for that and are a good reason why many producers...

    Maybe dumb question about Beyerdynamic DT770s

    Yup....as arcaxis says.......if you're happy with your K240's use them for general listening and mixing.......and use the DT770's for tracking. If you're determined to get rid of your DT770's....I get it. Try the Audio-Technica ATH M-50X. They have tons of great reviews....are well in your...

    Maybe dumb question about Beyerdynamic DT770s

    I think the OP has been affected by "bass head" phones for a very long time. So many "commercial" headphones....earbuds.....etc...etc....are designed to emphasize bass. Even many commercial (not professional or audiophile) speaker systems do that. In fact....it seems that an entire generation...

    Maybe dumb question about Beyerdynamic DT770s

    How about a sample of your recording...with your voice and maybe some other content? Tell us what you don't like. Let us hear it. I'm beginning to think that your dislike of what you're hearing is possibly due to the likelihood that you have heard your results....for some time.....through...
