... my rule is to get behringer stuff that is so cheap it's worth the loss of quality (which ends up being their stuff that's under about $100). like the sansamp clone or a tube screamer clone. the real deals are just too much for a simple little circuit, but there's no way you could build it...

I see your point! I always like stuff "in a setting" when I test to see how it will behave in a song and such. Sometimes I think a sound is good, then I go and record the song and it ends up being all goofy with other instruments and drums going on. [If I had my bass here, that would have...

it ain't bad. built well. a little noisy. lots of sound options. GREAT as a stompbox in front of an amp, but still sounds like recording direct when it's b/w the guitar and computer. works well when layered with another recording methodology (like a jcm900 emulator). here's a test...

... one dude's take on how to prep a track for reamping: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/andy-sneap/290714-preparing-your-tracks-reamping-guide.html

.... Wow! Thanks guys. Maybe whoever is least busiest in about a week/week and a half, we'll give it a shot. I need to finish programming drums, and I'll be able to pickup my direct box this coming week to properly lay down the clean guitar tracks. Yes, in a scenario like this one, I won't...

... well, the next tune I'm working on is a really basic thrashy/melodic metal instrumental; just some riffs and such I've been kicking around to keep me from going crazy since I don't have all my recording gear with me right now (not that I have all that great a setup anyway). I gave up on...

.... cool. thanks

Are there may online places to get reamping done through some killer amps if you send them a proper direct-recorded clean guitar? Something where you could test ride your song out with a Mesa, Orange, Soldano, and some other expensive amp I can't afford right now? For a fee of course. Or do...

good idea; I'll definitely give that a shot with just clean (and a better preamp). --- interesting insights all around; the positive and negative. thanks to all. --- I don't know if I'm agreeing with their unpopularity in metal, the more I read. There's some killer clips people are posting...

Do people use plug-ins to substitute amps very often in rock and metal? Do "big" studios use them? I goofed with the JCM 900 emulator, and I kinda dig it. I don't have all of my favorite recording stuff with me outside of a few stompboxes and a laptop (just relocated), and it seems to at...

... will do! you gave me a good idea: maybe a 1950s style death metal song about the drag race gone bad, and of course the greaser zombie that emerges from the wreckage craving brains.

... nice stuff! i'll need to listen more in the car. sounds pro so far!

Anyone know of bands that use recording techniques and equipment from the 50s/60s to play a type of antiquated death metal? This is my plan for the next tune. Kind of a 1960s Celtic Frost. I guess death metal by definition might necessitate modern production and equipment, so perhaps it...

good stuff! true the jefferson sound is unique, but I'm also referring to a quality of stuff from that time period. maybe a songwriting issue, but more of a technical one. to tell ya'll the truth, the magic I'm referring to may even be in part to the mastering. making something small and not...

... the car is my best tool. always has been. why? mainly because that's one of the few places I crank music, and really know how things should sound since I listen to so many CDs there. many of my CDs have never been played on my computer or home stereo. but all of them have been in my car.

... Despite all the arguing going on, I think I get it. It's kind of like what Arnold Palmer said about golf when someone said he was a very lucky person for always getting such good golf scores. And he said, "yeah, and the more I practice, the luckier I get." Old-school/old...

... you can't ship/mail it somewhere? oops, just read your post again, guess not. maybe a roadtrip? it's only 5.5 hrs. think about dave shirk at sonorous mastering in tempe, az. he's THE MAN.

i guess i have cubase sx. oh well, i don't know one from the other.

... cool edit pro; audacity; some version of cubase (i think SE). i've got reaper loaded up, but I seem to not really need it with the first 3. I like the effects on cubase and the ability to see the skins of VST effects on it; audacity I use for converting WAVs to MP3s; Cool Edit I like...

... with my MR-8, I found a happy medium in recording the 8 tracks onto 2 tracks in cool edit, applying a little EQ, then using their "audio compander" dynamic processor effect (which uses a compressor and expander), then limiting it. it's not "as loud" as some new CD off the shelves, but it's...
