I have a few VSTi packages (I think Kontakt is one of them) with some midi bass options. Recently used a fretless preset from one of the packages I own that sounded really good on the track. There's definitely options out there, though probably more heavily weighted toward bass tones for...

Your options are... 1) Record one guitar, mono, then use a spatial plugin to create a fake stereo effect. 2) Double track guitars and pan a guitar into each ear left/right. This can create some phasing issues, depends on things. 3) Record one guitar mono, then use a chorus and/or reverb plugin...

The Mustang was discontinued. I had Sweetwater send me two of them in 2017-ish I think, both were trash out of the case and I refused to spend money paying someone local to get them setup right so they both went back. This was after Sweetwater had supposedly done some basic setup and testing...

I've been playing a short scale bass for many years now, very easy to just pick it up without having to stay in top bass playing form just to occasionally track. Very few of the short scale options are any good nowadays (quality/materials), but with some setup I got mine close enough. Now...

Gasp!! ? Many of us long term members on this forum play their instruments and/or work with musicians, so you're in the right place.

For the money, I don't know that you'll do much better than the Yamaha HS7 or HS8. If I had to go out and buy monitors on a budget, this would be the sweet spot for me between cost and performance. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HS8--yamaha-hs8-8-inch-powered-studio-monitor-black

4" (100mm) drivers are insufficient on their own to give you accurate lower end response in addition to carrying the burden of also creating almost all the mid range frequencies. By 'sound good', do you mean the clarity and definition of the output? They *might* at lower volumes, and if...

Exactly, 99% of the needed controls are baked into the drumming software.

I've identified some well known guitarist tones I like, and Adam Jones from Tool's "Lateralus" era guitar tone has been a solid starting point for my primary heavier guitar sounds for a number of years. There's databases online of various Amplitube presets created by users, it does require...

In Superior Drummer (the slightly more robust version of the same product) I have to use the overheads because of the cymbals. Are you saying there's another way to capture the cymbals?

I wasn't suggesting befriending someone to get them over to your place. Google for local sound engineers (music studios also a good potential search criteria) and offer them money to stop over for a training session. Create a list of things to address and stick to it to maximize their time...

If by chance you live in the Vegas area, I'd be willing to help [free of charge]. It doesn't sound like you need a lot of guidance, maybe just someone to work through things once or twice, get stuff dialed in. For the most part, IMO, home recording is about finding solutions, then executing...

My experience with trying to use Zoom for remote collaboration (going back about 18 months ago) was that interfaces aren't always detected by Zoom as valid audio devices, so unable to inject the audio into the Zoom call. Instead I use a third party app to stream the audio with low latency in...

Discounting the 'green-ness' of electric vehicles doesn't at the same time act as an argument against global warming. Sea level rise is happening [as well as average temps increasing across the planet]. Climate and geological changes happen on a long timeline globally and the human mind isn't...

Yeah pretty much all modern interfaces allow monitoring controls. Check out the lower end/cheaper PreSonus and Scarlett 2i2 options.

This I believe has been a known plan for Apple's next products. Your iPhone 3G charger has been obsolete for almost all the iPhone products since. That's been a known issue with Apple for a decade now - changing things just enough in the name of 'advancement' to force purchasing of new...

I believe there's going to be a settings somewhere to select which inputs/input types to 'monitor'. This allows only certain things to route and come through as desired, which avoids this issue. Windows by default monitors everything, for example, so all things can be heard. This is obviously...

Dinner is base. Music can elevate even the worse of days.

Hopefully you've got this sorted in the last week. Here's my thoughts for future reference... 1) Something is solo'd in the project, muting all or most of the other tracks 2) Output channel on the track is set to the incorrect sound output device 3) The VST is malfunctioning [does removing the...
