    Anyone tried the new quad core AMDs yet?

    At the current prices, you can build an eight core system for under $1,000. Just wondering if anyone's tried the processor yet and how it performs, what kind of heat it puts out, what kind of power consumption, etc.

    My weird Guitar Center story

    Not necessarily guitar related, but close enough. A buddy of mine has been wanting to get into recording with his own equipment for awhile, so he decided to buy a couple of interfaces. I helped him do some research and he decided on a couple of MOTU 8pres (I hadn't read a single bad thing about...

    Anyone into heavy and gloomy music

    First version Second Version My band just wrote a new song. We are still pretty much learning it but decided to do a semi-live recorded version of it. Tracked it in 4 hours, mixed in 2. It was my first real attempt at vocals with this band, so apologies if any of the phrasing/tones suck, I'm...

    "Dance/rock" mix

    http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=8431 A band wanted me to record them for a remix thing in LA, so all they really needed were the individual tracks, but they also asked for a rock mix for their own use. Curious on what your opinions on this are, as all I had to mix with were...

    nLite presets?

    Those of you who use this great program for your Windows XP installs, I was wondering what your presets are like. I just did a new one which I think will be pretty good, so here's my .ini from it (only doing a new one because the slipstreamed SP2 is wreaking havoc with my video card). [Main]...

    Help! What does this mix need??

    http://download.yousendit.com/E0557D87535F76EB Soundclick... weird quality - Damnit, the song cuts short. Anyway, you get an idea for the mix. It cuts out before the best parts though!!!! Just download from the YSI link :) I've got a 320kbps bitrate file here for your review. I think it's a...

    KT88s in a Peavey Windsor

    Will this work?! I really want a bit more low-end response in my Windsor and I'm thinking that KT88s will do it. Will I need to modify the circuit for this or does the power section already accommodate these (can't find any info on the Windsor using KT88s except for the studio)? Would it just be...

    Bill Lawrence pickups

    Thought I'd start a thread after being reminded of these. Are they worth it? I'm looking at the L-500 and really thinking about picking one up. I was expecting $180 for each pickup like some people would charge but $50 is pretty damn good. What kind of stuff would these work for? Check the band...

    Reamping through my normal preamp...

    Is this going to end bad? I'm thinking about recording my band's album by reamping, but really don't have the money for a reamp box. The mixer I use for pres is a Soundcraft Spirit E12. Think this would work for reamping? Anything else I should know about the technique?

    Peavey Windsor.

    So, I had heard all about these amps and have been avoiding playing on one because I knew it wouldn't live up to the hype. Well, yesterday I was at a small shop and they had one. So while waiting for dude to get a bass drum head from the back, I decided to plug in and play it through a Mesa 212...

    Why my night ruled

    I was supposed to see Anal **** play tonight. I drove over an hour to see them play. However, when the time came for them to play, they were not there. I was looking around furiously for anyone in a wheelchair but didn't spot Seth, or anyone else. So, I waited. And waited. Then some dude and a...

    My first mix with Reaper!

    Recorded while tired at 3 AM Minimal use of plugins; it probably needs some work since my ears were extremely tired but for the amount of effort put into it, I think it sounds pretty good.

    Mods, can you delete this thread? Somehow I forgot that there's a MIDI section. Sorry.

    I'm gonna buy another Epiphone. WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BRAIN?

    Man, I'm thinking about buying another Epiphone LP Limited Edition. $350, a pretty good deal. I don't know. Should I? Definitely will be playing it before putting any money into it. Here she be

    I love my amp so much

    Just thought I'd share... I love it. Yes I do.

    I know it's not Cubase, but a problem with Reaper

    How in the hell can I get MelodyneBridge working correctly in Reaper?! It works perfectly in Cubase, but in Reaper it doesn't work at all. Melodyne does not have the same behavior when I set it up to record (set record on the first track and mute all the others), I have to do that manually. Then...

    GT8 Acoustic functionality

    I caved and got a GT8. Mostly for replacing my effects, but I just found out a nifty feature about it: the acoustic simulator is incredible! I just recorded an improv thing, so bear with the repetitive and uncreative playing, but man is it convincing! High frequency hiss is from my soundcard, as...

    Troubleshooting a Peavey MX VTX head

    Okay, so here's the deal. My band's guitarist just got an MX VTX head. We tried it out and it seemed alright, except the sound was a bit muddy. Checked the tubes, and they were old GEs. So obviously needed to replace those. Figured it'd need a cap job too so added that to my list. So we're going...

    Best site in US to buy caps?

    Title says it all! I'm about to begin a cap job on a Peavey VTX MX series head, and was wondering what the best site for buying decent caps is. I'm thinking about picking up some Spragues for this one but can't seem to find any suppliers that don't look shady as hell.

    Critique this live rock mix!

    http://www.myspace.com/1000talons The song is called Slowdawner. We recorded this 80% live. Did some overdubs and a few edits on guitar. There are still a few screw ups, but we were too tired to notice them so it's fine for now. I know that the kick is not placed very well and that the bass is...
