My question, hope it's not too silly but I have been wondering about this for a while: I put an amp in the corner of a room on the clean channel and a microphone several feet away to pick up the ambience. 1. I play the guitar through my amp quietly and record the sound. 2. I turn the amp up a...

I am having trouble getting a decent rhythm guitar sound from my amp and need some help. I am using an SM57 pointing at the center of the amp and touching the cloth. The sound is thin and uninspiring and adding chorus & reverb & eq does not seem to help very much. How loud should the amp be when...

I have noticed a price drop in the UK for the M3000 reverb (£659). I have been using UAD-1 Realverb pro & SIR up to now but have never been happy, as the reverb sounds more like an effect than a truely saturated sound. I have tried the other demo verbs for UAD-1, and although good I still did...

I have built up a small home studio over the past five years and have enjoyed the process although I think that I have probably spent more time thinking and tweaking rather than writing..hence my post. I have decided that as I am in a small room (a little over 2x3 metres) I am never going to...

OK..... I know I am putting myself up against the wall a bit here so please be gentle....... Listening to CD's that I own, reverb is always there but not particulary noticable. Some songs make it more obvious than others in the recordings but the sound is still saturated with reverb. When I...

I bought a Groove Tubes 'the brick' in January this year in the hope that it would sound better than my edirol DA2496 soundcard interface preamps. I tried extensive tests with my groove Tubes GT67 valve mic (which I love) and SM57 with vocals, Di instruments and mic'ing guitars & amps. I wanted...

Can anyone explain what phantom power does exactly, and does the SM57 need it or will it cause damage to the mic? Thanks

I have one mic - GT67 valve mic with various patterns available. I have tried mic'ing my 100w bass combo and have had good results for bass. I also put my electric guitar through my Korg multi fx and through the amp (to get some added air from the speaker). My question is that I am thinking of...

I have a LXP-1 and wondered if the MPX1 or 550 sounded better, or would have any advantages in a home studio over the LXP-1? Thanks

I need to save some dosh. Will an SM57 record bass cabs as well as guitar cabs?

I am still mulling over choosing the correct reverb for my home studio, which is the reason for my several posts recently...sorry. I don't want to spend out on a PCM91 if I won't benefit from it, as my studio is small and the acoustics are not great at all, but is it worth it in the long run to...

I noticed some boxes that can emulate speakers by taking the speaker out of an amp. Can I go speaker out to my The Brick preamp or will I blow it sky high? http://www.motherload.co.uk/ http://www.palmergear.com/index.shtml Thanks

Are the two inputs mixed and processed together before output in this unit?

I use for all of my recordings. But I am wondering what other dedicated mic options there are for recording a bass cab in a home studio setup? Secondly I use amp modelling mostly for guitar, but on occasions I would like to mic up a guiar amp, so if there is a more general mic that could cover...

I have an LXP-1 and I am wondering how the other units compare and how they sound. Thanks

I have a groove tubes 67 valve mic that I use in my small home recording studio. I also have a groove tubes 'The Brick' tube mic preamp which I also use as an instrument D.I. The acoustics in my studio are not very good I need to add. I bought the mic on its review with SOS but I am thinking...

I have just bought a Groove Tubes 'The Brick' preamp to improve on the Edirol preamps and HiZ inputs on my sound card interface. So far I have tried The Brick as a DI with electric guitar & bass. I struggled to tell the difference in sound? I believe that The Brick is a great preamp, especially...

I am looking for a new preamp/channel strip for my home studio. I have used a tfpro p3 in the past which is the only channel strip I have tried, apart from my built in Edirol DA2496 soundcard preamps. Which would be the best choice out of my final two preamps. Obviously the EC-1 is more...
