My daw has a fft eq on it that I usually use for finished songs. It let's me copy an eq curve from any song (commercial CD) and add it to my mixes and then I just tweak the main EQ to taste. Is there any sites or anybody here on the forum that have a good explanation on how to use an fft eq? I...

My band uses an upright bass. We got a pick up on it going into a hartke 250 watt amp head and a 2x10 GK 200 watt cab. I think its time for an upgrade. When we play at full blast the bass is totally getting drowned by our drums and guitars. The loudness seems to be ok but its the low rumble that...

i am looking for two guitar sounds in particular. One is the heavy distortion from a band called Tiger Army and the other is the sound of Brian Setzer from his stray cats days. Here's the catch...... i'm trying to do it "artificially" as i obviously cant afford any big expensive Marshall stack...

I just got a 2 channel power amp that is 100 watts rms to each channel and I am connecting 2 12 inch pa speakers that handle 500 watts peak. When I turn the amp around 3/4 of full volume I notice that the clip indicator lights on the amp start to light up. Is that pretty common? How much...

This isn't for any of my recording tracks but I am trying to make a mix CD for my office at work of a bunch of mostly 1950s music. The problem is that a lot of the files are very low compared to some of the others. And in my office we can't be getting up every song to adjust the volume on the CD...

So besides me..... Who else has posted songs in the clinic that belong in the hall of shame? LOL! Or somebody that came thinkin his stuff was the s**t and it totally got slammed?

hey guys.......... its been about 7 months since I last posted anything. We got some new cuts coming out. I went back to the drawing board, did some studying, learned some new tricks and please have a listen to this rough mix of one of our new songs called "Hot Darn!". I think i gotta tweak the...

does anybody know about how much do all the epiphone les pauls weigh?? are any of the set neck Les Paul's in the 6-7 lb range?

so i record my 6 individual tracks simultaneously on a Korg multitracker and they are all averaging around -12 or so in the recorder with the occasional peaks a little higher. I then transfer those individual tracks into my pc DAW software for mixing. The track faders on the DAW mixer are at...

couldnt figure out which forum to use, so pardon the question if it dont go here......... Does anybody know of any kind of "chord analyzing" software?? Like where you put in any song file and it gives you a pretty good estimate to what key the song is in and what chords are being used? I've only...

hey all.......i thought i'd just drop my two cents on this new machine i got. I think its pretty decent for some home recording. What sold me is the fact that it allows for 8 simultaneous input recording which is something I really needed, though its only a 8 track machine. That doesnt bother me...

i just seen a new MR16HD being advertised on zzounds.com??? anybody have any info on this?? or specs?? :confused:

hey all...... what key would this progression be considered?? Em, Am, and C major?? I believe it to be the key of Em, but some seem to also say the key of G major??? thanks guys

I have a Ibanez Artcore hollow body and am having trouble with tuning/intonation issues. I have found that the problem is in the 3 hight strings with the high E being the worst. They are in tune in the open position but sound pretty off in the 12th fret. They have a dead, ping like sound and...

pretty much finished a new song called "Cheat On Me, Cheat On You". Have a listen and critique please. (link in my signature) Peace!! :cool:

Its called "Dale" (link in my signature). How's the mix sounding?? not necessarily the playing, cuz we still pretty much newbies :D

i have posted a new song on my page (link in my signature). I tried to get that raw, primitive, kinda messy Sun Records sound. Kinda like the early songs by Cash... Cry, Cry, Cry....Hey Porter and I Walk the Line. Its called "Dont Need You Anymore". It was recorded live, so the bleed through of...

ok....here's my little jam band's first effort. We basically picked up instruments not more than a year ago and been playing together for a few months. Im sure there are wayyyy better musicians out there, but we just did like Johnny Cash and went on desire. This is also my first effort at...

are there any plugins out there that simulate the sound of an acoustic guitar??? so i would just plug in my electric like usual but then run the plugin and get the acoustic sound with it??

i would say i have small hands. Though i can play decent enough to have done some recordings with my band, i do have trouble using my pinky finger on chords. Say i have to do a chord where i have one finger on fret 5 and then my pinky is supposed to be on fret 9........ forget it!! pretty much...
