I have a laptop based remote recording rig set up for writing when it isn't on the road, and the electric guitar runs thru an EBS Octabass octave divider on the way into a Boss ME-70. Click...guitar sounds enough like a bass to keep the groove going and lay down a scratch track. Click...back to...

Being a hard rock kinda guy...as opposed to a metal kinda guy...the mixes sound very smooth. To me, hard rock is about violence and energy and...okay, I'll use the word passion but I think its understood to mean overwhelming emotion unleashed to produce chaos, disorder, impact, implied and/or...

The Playback Room: Practice Room for headphones, so my roomies don't murder me while I sleep: Soon to be the Primary Control Room: Logo: That's all, folks!

The Remote Recording Unit, in Florida: Florida mood lighting: Another Florida pic: The Remote Studio back home in the midwest, serving as a Mixdown/Mastering desk: A wider view:

This is the first day we lit fiber in the Tracking Room: After basic testing, the patchbay needed augmentation: It ended up growing to 240 points. Mood lighting largely complete, in analog: I've got a DMX interface and once I slick a laptop, lighting control migrates to the digital...

This is where we started, before computer recording, in 1991: My brother built the Strat, one of his early ones, in solid walnut. The bridge didn't intone right and it wasn't in tune up the neck. I still have the Rockman, Microverb, and one of the Yamahas. This was a later iteration, circa...

I was one of the lucky ones who bought the 2626 just before M-Audio cut the price 70%. That said, I love the dual ADAT ports and the extra inputs the 8000s give me, last thing I wanna do when ideas hit is play with wires. The 2626 also has another firewire port too, but I was advised against...

Howdy folks! I go by JTand have had a fondness for twirling buttons and knobs since I started taking things apart as a toddler. I like hard rock, jazz, progressive and even some classical music now and then. I've been using Cakewalk since version 2.0, write, play guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and...

A spectrum analyzer might allow you to see what is masking that one note and make EQ adjustments, either to the bass or 'offending' instrument to give both their own place in the mix.

I suggest you continue to record bass clean, and tweak it post to your ear's content. In my opinion, processing on the way in is reserved for situations where you know in advance you won't be able to get what you're after with single or multiple processing passes after the fact, compression...

In third grade, I missed the "finish pillar" at the end of a footrace and put my left hand thru a glass storm door. ER cleaned it, sewed it up, good to go. I started playing classical guitar and sang in the choir beginning in fourth grade. By seventh grade I had graduated to electric guitar and...

I have heard, but not personally tested, that devices using ASIO drivers are limited to one per computer. In the Tracking Room here, I have an M-Audio Profire 2626 connected to the main computer, with two Behringer ADA-8000's connected via ADAT ports, and an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra on the...

I started with Twelvetone Cakewalk MIDI (only) Sequencer 2.0 on a DOS/ IBM 8088 back in 1991 or 1992, and have been using Cakewalk ever since. Currently running X1 Studio in the tracking room and X2 Essential on my mobile rig, with X2 Studio and Producer in shrinkwrap awaiting system stability...

For the record, you are asking two different questions here. Running the output of a preamp thru the input of a second preamp, as the thread title suggests, is a very different electrical proposition, than running the output of a preamp thru a line level input, as the body of the post describes...

I don't live like a Boy Scout, even tho I am, Eagle, OOA, Firecrafter, 1974. I still don't lie, cheat, or steal, rules be damned, its a practical matter. I can barely remember the pertinent details of events or conversations a week ago, much less fabricate AND KEEP STRAIGHT an alternate version...

I'm a non drummer in a similar position as the OP. I use Sonar's drum module to keep time while writing, and/or a Boss DR3, which has finger pads and simple verse/chorus/fill sequencing to flesh out an idea. I also have a Yamaha DD55 "All In One" set of pads for use with sticks, and have...

I highly recommend Mike Senior's "Mixing Secrets" as the comprehensive, fundamental, and essential guide at the beginning of any search for audio excellence.

P.S...after the procedure outlined above is ingrained, you can streamline resolution in many cases with judicious application of gain.

Standard Operating Procedure for noise elimination and signal chain anomalies: 1. Mentally or graphically map the audio chain start to finish, source to monitor. 2. Divide the chain roughly in half, using spare equipment and/or patch cables. Compare one to the other, decide which exhibits the...

Thanks to WhiteStrat for the original, informative post. FWIW, I'm getting good results with a Dean Markley soundhole pickup, thru a Focusrite ISA Two, dbx 131 EQ, and dbx 266 comp, w Lexi MX200 in parallel, using light Arena verb and light flanging, into an M-Audio 2626 interface. This...
