I know some tracks were posted a while back, but does anyone have any metal or harder type rock tracks they can share? I don't have a drummer to jam with right now, and am wanting to use a few riffs and ideas I have. They would be used for "conceptualizing" a song only, and I would re-record the...

I am using a Boss DD-3 right now, and am looking for more of an "Echo" sound than a digital delay repeat - but longer than what is considered a reverb. I don't think that I am necessarily looking for an analog type delay, I've owned a DM-2 before and that is really not what I am after either...

OOPS! Moved to guitars and basses

I am liking the idea of triggered drums for recording, especially kick since I mainly record Metal, but I am still trying to get up to speed on it. I have a few questions: 1.Can anyone post links to some "Drum Triggers 101" type articles? 2.Drumagog or hardware module? 3. how hard is it to...

I just picked up a V-AMP Pro at a pawnshop, it is in perfect condition with the exception that someone swiped a couple knobs off while it was on display there. They were asking $99, and I got it for $50 with a 30 day gaurantee. Sweet deal. I am going to call behringer and see how much the...

OOPS! Posted in wrong forum OOPS, i just realized I should have posted this in "The Rack". Mods, please delete....

I found this drum mic kit at a local pawnshop, it looks like brand new. http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-SHU-DMK5752--brand-245.html For those that don't feel like clicking, it is 4 SM57s, one Beta 52, drum mounts and case. They will take $250 for it. Another pawnshop down the road has...

Ok, I have a question here and it is something that I have been wondering about for some while. People say here all the time, that a pre-amp with tubes in it using a starved plate design is basically worthless, the tubes do not make a difference and basically do not contribute in a positive way...

Picked one of these up at a pawn shop for 20 bucks. I tested it (by turning it up until it squashed the tone) and worst case scenario I could trade it off, if I couldn't use it. Anyone ever used one of these for live performances? for recording?

I am currently using a Boss SD-1 to overdrive my amps. My main amp is a "Red Bear". This is a Russian amp imported by Gibson in the 90's. It's all tube (sounds like a cross between a plexi and a JCM 800),hand wired and built like a tank. It gets a nice medium gain distortion, but the style of...

If you are recording a vocalist whose voice comes across a little shaky or weak sounding, are there any kinds of effects or techniques you can use to minimize or at least somewhat mask this? Thanks in advance.

It gives some idea of the process behind creating an amp model. I found it an interesting read, and thought I would share it. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may04/articles/tcinterview.htm

How was this this acoustic guitar tone achieved? Short MP3 Clip I realize some of you will like it, some likely will not. I like the sound of the strings sounding "bigger" or "fatter" (for lack of a better description) than the average thin sounding acoustic recording. Is this due to heavy...

Ok, this is thread is where you post recorded samples of your amps. Maybe we can get a pretty good recording collection of many of the popular amps out there, as well as the more obscure ones. These are the posting guidelines for this thread: 1. Clean Sample (no fx, or eq) 2. Medium Distortion...

One of the more commonly asked questions here in the guitar and basses forum is some variation of "what kind of amp should I get for (insert musical style here.)" I figured that since we all are here because we care enough about recording quality to try to better ourselves, we are in a good...

I have a Soundtech ST162 16 channel Mixer from the mid 90's. Here is how it is layed out I am pretty happy with the pres it has, and I am trying to figure out the best way to integrate it into my planned upgrade to a new PC audio interface (I am leaning towards the EMU 1820, or possibly a...

Screenshot - my target waveform and volume level for the recording I am working on Screenshot - My current, unprocessed mixdown (note the overall lack of volume and the spikey transient signals that I can't kill) Screenshot - The other extreme - How do they get this flat waveform and...

Please give me any contructive feedback/opinions/thoughts that come to mind when you hear this. I am mainly thinking of the recording itself, as that was my involvement in the song, but any thoughts are welcome. A couple of notes before you listen: The band intentionally wanted the vocals to...

Now I am getting brave! lol This is part of the same song that I posted a piece of earlier. It is just a roughed out version that I put down when it was fresh in my mind. I played a couple of takes, and took the best one, but I was still kind of feeling it out so it is a little raw. Basically...

What do you guys think of this riff? http://www.texasimedia.com/michaelc/Riff_Ideas/riff_live_hard_die_with_compression_Eq.mp3 It's not a whole song, just a guitar track of a riff idea I have, so I didn't think it belonged in the MP3/mixing clinic. The stuff I am writing is in the vein of...
