    Guitar sounds harsh and tinny recorded

    Are you recording the guitar sims right into the interface? That's what I do. Out of theLine 6, then the pedals, then into the pre, then the computer. No miked up amps, ever. Try that--if it sounds good then, you'll know its the amp/mic thing.

    Gain staging before mixing with console emulation ?

    I use Slate's Virtual Mix Rack on every channel as well as the master bus and submix busses. Usually set to the Trident console emulation. Even using the plugs across the entire virtual mixer, it's gonna be real subtle, but I just use them as a matter of course. It's easy to set input and...

    Whats a great DAW software for recording??

    I'm not sure why a bot or what ever would post something like this, but it's a really subjective kind of question.

    Monitors Du Jour?

    The nearfield monitor market is nearly as vast as the craft beer market at this point.

    Acoustic guitar.

    As mentioned above, try mid-side if you can. I did this for the first time a few months ago and it turned out very good. Of course you you need a decent space, the mid-side decoder/preamp (I used an ART Pro MPA ll dual channel preamp), and a couple of mics that have figure of eight and cardioid...

    Behringer Mixer Faint/No Sound on Headphone Jack/Control Room Out

    I have and have had a few Behringer mixers, but not the USB one. If there are any switches in the signal path, try pushing them in and out repeatedly. I was havingthe same issues as the OP, and it was the switches Gummed up switches have been an issue with every Behringer I've had, but this...

    Boss RC-300

    Ha! Yeah, I'd be lying if I said things like that didn't happen to me. And continue to.

    Marble wall

    True enough, but if the contractor specializes in a type of build, would'nt he know a bit about that type of build? And, if they see something on a print that is unusual or wrong, I think they'd be inclined to comment.

    Boss RC-300

    What is the entire signal chain? Is your guitar or whatever plugged into the RC-300 directly? Are the RC-300's outs going to something like computer software? Did you buy the RC-300 new?

    cassette recording problems

    Sounds like you should post this in the Analog recording sub-forum. I stopped using cassette muti-trackers over 15 years ago, largely because of computers, but this is the kind of thing that makes using cassette multi-trackers, um, frustrating, to say the very least. I have to ask, what's the...

    Marble wall

    Wouldn't the contractor who specialises in building recording studios know that perhaps that marble wall idea might not be a good one? Same for some of the other design concepts?

    How do you record nice lush vocal harmonies?

    I don't want to be the rain on the parade, but have you thought about using a computer to record with? It's a lot easier and way more possibilites are available. But I'm sure you know that. But at this point even Steve Albini admits that he wishes he'd learned how to use computers years...

    Vocal Overdubs

    I'm able, at this point, to record the acoustic first and then my vocal. I've recorded people who simply can't or won't do this, but in every case they were able to get things right fairly quickly. Doing things separately of course gives you total flexibilty as far as overdubds go.

    Software

    The main reason to get ProTools is that it is the industry standard.

    What quality of electric guitar to use into audio interface.

    What kind of audio interface are you plugging the guitar into? Into say, a DI plug on something like a Focusrite 18i20?

    Where does the GAIN go?

    Check that list again and see what else is throttling the system. I had an enormous problem with latency throttling my recordings (I may not be using the correct terminology here) whilst using Samplitude ProX 2 when I bought a new PC early last year. There were several issues, the main one...

    RME RayDat install on Windows 7

    So, I got a new RME Raydat card(s), installed them, but the computer only sees a multi-media device. The RME manual says the puter should see the cards and start the windows device install, then look for software, at which point I insert the disk (the drivers and whatnot are from 11/2017), but...
