Heres a short sample of an unprocessed OH recording. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=8278 I panned each side 100%. The sides are totally unbalanced, but what Im asking is, can you hear alot of phasing? Is the phasing from the OHs badly positioned or more so from the small room I...

I'm looking to get some new tubes for my Marshall JCM2000 DSL50 guitar amp. I play quite heavy music, and I'm looking for a good set of tubes that will compliment a set of Vintage 30 speakers. I'm looking for an upfront sounding tube with nice clear but not harsh high end, smooth high mids and...

Anyone got any suggestions for mics that work real good for recording distorted guitars? Im looking to achieve a nice thick controlled low end, Nice clear high and high mids, but also Im looking for a mic that is good with getting very smooth high mids. Cheers, Eck

In professional mixes the guitars sound real smooth in the high mids (1k-5k) and aren't harsh, but in alot of less professional recordings the high mids...

I have been using the L2 for some time now. I like it but I heard about Roger Nicols mastering plug-ins. I was wondering what yous think of the mastering limiter on the Roger Nicols Digital Detailer. Any good? Sounds good when reading about it but better to get views on here. Cheers, Eck
