mixdown to the new song then play the new song and see what the levels are looking like on the 2 new tracks. if they're too hot, do another version that's lower. am i missing something here? if you're wanting to see a nice little red light going off to say "hello, i'm peaking", no you wont'...

... i didn't know you could mix all 8 down to a new song. at least, I don't think you can do that with the red mr-8 (I'll have to read my manual too). but..........why not just do a few trial-and-errors, and see where the "new song" is peaking. a few attempts would probably get you where you...

... I start moshing around and kicking the band members in the head, but it's all good 'cause it's under the guise of me just "getting into" the music.

... wow, I thought I'd pop back to see what little tidbits of knowledge had emerged, and an episode of Gray's Anatomy broke out! Nonetheless, I think I found what I was looking for.

.. I just thought of something. You could do that "trick" where you fret a note (preferrably on the g string) around frets 7-9 and then while holding that note, gently place a finger over the steel fret exactly 12 frets up. It should generate a harmonic, that, if you have enough gain going...

... I have a cheesy cheap yamaha keyboard PS-303E or something like that, and it has a feedback setting that to me, sounds pretty dang just like really nice guitar feedback. Maybe there's a midi or computer-version you can do that is like that keyboard effect. I've been wanting to throw it in...

I think they did it as part of the song, to add some atmosphere. They obviously play to a click, so they just squeeked it in there. I'll have to listen to a few CDs to pick it out again. Oh yeah...didn't Steve Vai use a Lynn Drum machine on one of his first albums? oh, and I think the...

... Interesting question. I think these used machines: 1. mortician (all theirs I think have a drum machine) 2. pitch shifter - Industrial (GREAT album!); some of their other albums may have used a machine too 3. godflesh - I think their Streetcleaner album did, maybe more. 4. one of...

thanks for the review! looks like the yamaha tmx module is going to get the back burner, except for use as a pass-through midi trigger, or perhaps only for crashes. i tried to downplay the vox a little on the final mix - maybe too much downplay.

... well for what it's worth dudes, here's the fixed and mastered version of The Open Road: http://members.cox.net/jpgpics/OpenRoad.Mas2.mp3 I'm never sure whether to just continue on a thread like this when the fixes have been made, start a new thread, or just keep it to myself!?!

ahhh. my stuff right now is on the order of like 9-10 tracks, but like most dudes I'd love to have a huge mixing board to get my hands on every slider, panning knob, etc. thanks for the info on the comparison between the 2 methods.

What could be easier than moving a slider up and down as the song is playing? Granted, I've never used automation during my computer recording, although from what I'm imagining it involving is me having to find the times at which I would want to raise and lower volume sliders and then I'd have...

that's awesome you build 'em. wish I could say I did that or even modded mine, but I used a local shop. I do build pedals though. I'll get that tube info this weekend and let you know. on the clean note, I do use a precision electronics "lunch box" PA amp with 7868 tubes that has what I...

... I dunno guys. For mixing, I don't see how you're using your computers with great results. Are you guys doing the set-it-and-forget it method and then dumping that mix down to a WAV premaster? I need to tweak the levels as it's being mixed down, and the MR-8 can do that both internally and...

yeah, I'm excited to try and upload a WAV of vocals for tweaking and sending back to the unit for mixing. I just haven't had the time to goof with that yet.

metal maybe andy sneap's page? http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=151

hey, I was hoping someone would ask that! all 6-string guitars were done with tube PAs modified for guitar use. that particular part used a small (I mean, it fits in the palm of your hand!) old Realistic "Carnival" tube amp. It has a natural overdrive that I dig; it's pretty low wattage...

... great tips and advice - thanks to all.

... this is all for the mr-8: -the effects aren't that hot, but ya know, I did use the verb a little and if used sparingly it'll work OK. -the amp simulations are useless, unless I'm doing something wrong; who doesn't have a modeller or mic an amp anyway? -if you get the MR-8 and it's got...

hey cool! I guess it's kind of like if you had ten bucks to spend or a million. The ten would go towards a necessity, but the first 10 bucks of the million would go towards something totally useless that you never would have bought to begin with.
