Anyone ever record distorted guitar and then distortion so so...computer like? I'm recording an Ibanez Rg through a Fender princeton Chorus Amp with a Shure sm57, and i need it to be pretty distorted. It seems if i turn down the distortion the tone gets all bloaty and bassy and uddy and nasty...

I've never really used pads before, but I read somewhere how alot of artists/bands use pads in their recordings to fill in the sound. I was thinking of using an airy, light pad on a black metalish song i'm working on. How would I go about placing it in the mix?

It seems I can't get a heavy, strong, firm, loud, brutal wall of guitars without sounding like muddy shit. I reduce the amount of takes, it sounds too thin, i increase the amount of takes, its heavier but jumbled. When I try to eq it to sound less muddy, it just ends up sounding weak. Anyone...

I've been wondering for a long time why Reason wouldnt recognize my keyboard. Then a friend told me that with some casio keyboards, you have to manually turn the midi in. I looked at the keyboard and saw a button that said tune/transpose/midi, but not sure how to use it. I own a casio ctk-511...

I recorded two basson duet songs for a friend, one of them has two bassoons and the other has 4. any suggestions on mixing them?

Call me a dork, but I love orchestra parts in soundtracks for movies and even video games sometimes. I've been wanting to get into writing things like these[ I've done one already] and I'm wondering if anyone has advice for writing things like these, or if anyone can point me to a good, helpful...

The band i've joined is sort of a indieish pop-rock pop-punk alternative band, and I've been tryin to write some material for the band, but I'm just not used to writing this genre.I'm used to writing soft indie acoustic rocks songs that are very wordy and have tons of metaphors that are...

I just got reason, and I've been trying it out, but theres one thing I haven't quite got yet. If I want to apply reverb to JUST the snare drum, how do I go about doing that? How do I make it a send effect just for the snare?

How do you record a bassoon? Do you use a Condenser or a dynamic? Who do you mic it? I would assume you would use a condenser, but then I thought, well, the air coming out of it would destroy it, wouldn't it?

Okay, so my drummer got a firepod with cubase le, only the software they sent him was for PC, and he has a mac. Well, he got new cubase software, but he hasn't got the presonus software yet. But it lets him record. So what does this mean? I mean, onbviously it means he doesn't have the firepod...

Well, I haven't recorded it yet so you can hear it, and you can't really fully critique a song's lyrics without hearing them, but i thought i'd get some feedback early on. Well, here you go, I just finished writing it less than a minute ago. Lemme know anything that stands out to you: I stepped...

Ok, well, I have one of my songs on itunes, and in one point in the song, theres absolute silence. No tracks whatsoever, and whenever it gets to that part of the song, my computer freezes until a track starts again. Why?

In cubase LE, will it let me do more than one automation curve for a track? Like, if I wanted for volume and one for eq on the same track, will that work?

myspace.com/audioaddicted Take a listen to Camille's Song. I'm just curious to see people's opinions on it. In fact, if you want, take a listen to the other two as well.

mysapce.com/wediealonetheband Let me know what you think. Criticism as well as advice is welcomed. Don't be afraid to be slightly rude in your honesty. I've dome better. For me, this recording is like 7-8 out of 10, 10 being my best recordings and seven being my worst.

How do I make a midi track repeat itself over and over without causing the whole song to repeat the section over and over?

I've heard a rumor that if you use a muilt-effect signal processor, such as the line-6 pod, you can record guitar direct and ge just as good of a sound as if you miced the amps. any truth to this?

Well, the drummer- in- my- band's parents are loaded, and the band is about to start recording in january, and he thought it was too much trouble to drive all the way to my house, so his parents are just gonna buy for him recording gear thousands of dollars more than mine. Kinda pisses me off...

Let's just say, hypothetically of course :D , that I wanted to load cubase onto a friend's computer, after I've already got it loaded on my computer. I'd also want to install my presonus firebox software on his computer as weel. Will the software load again?
