Welcome aboard! First off, there aren't really any "cookie cutter" settings that you can just paste into your DAW for guitar. Every track is going to be different depending on what it is being mixed with, where it was tracked, how it was tracked, who and how it was played etc. Sound is...

Another satisfied Senn 280 user/abuser. The isolation is excellent and as everyone else stated, they are comfortable to wear.

No guitar is going to be the "best" at everything. I understand you are looking for a workhorse that can do lots of tones but most people/studios own multiple guitars/amps for a reason. Are you keeping your current guitar? I would suggest putting the money towards something that does the tones...

Sounds like guitar blended/doubled with some type of synth.

I didn't see the show in question but one dead give away is to listen for some "breathing". It is usually a dead give away in pop music. Chick singer, dancing her ass off, sweating to death and supposedly singing but you don't hear any stress or breathing in her voice. Perfect studio vocal haha...

The tone is a little fuzzy for my taste but I have never really cared for the Peavey 5150 etc.. sound. At any rate, it sounds like it could be usable to me in the context of a mix. You will gain some fullness once you double track (or quad on a lot of metal productions) and add some wide panning.

I won't get into the details because there is way too much info already available online and I make no claims of being an expert on the subject. Having said that, I have spent many hours in studios that predominantly deal with the more extreme genres of rock/metal. I say this with the greatest...

Im not a bassist but I will second the fulltone Bass Drive. My bassist has one in his rig that he uses all the time. They are a little pricey but they can do anything from light overdrive to full on metal distortion and it retains the lows/highs of the bass fairly well. Another cheaper option...

Ok good to know. I may take the plunge in the next week or so. As I stated before, I could really use the extended track count. I have been running pro tools 7 on an XP machine and it has been solid as a rock. A little worried about the switch but I don't have any clients or anything to worry...

I browsed through the responses quickly so if I missed it I am sorry. I was surprised that no one mentioned Re-amping. I do some of the tracking for my band but it is typically mixed by a pro-engineer in a pro studio. I always have a direct track running with my guitar tracks. This way if a tone...

Don't overlook the usefulness of You tube. There are a lot of great pro and "non pro" players explaining techniques of varying skill levels on there. I am foremost a guitarist but I own a kit and have been playing off and on for the last 6-7 years. My playing has improved greatly just off...

I have been using Pro Tools since the beginning of this year. So I haven't been a DIGI user very long but I am very interested in upgrading to Pro Tools 8. The increased track count and track comping features seem well worth the upgrade cost. My question is this, is it too soon to upgrade or are...

The dynamics of the cymbal probably has a lot more to do with the technique of the drummer. There are some darker cymbals that may seem less loud. You could also try smaller cymbals which would put out less volume but may not work for the style you are playing. Can you play any softer? Would...

Also if you aren't set on having a piece of hardware, you can always buy drum samples/software to use in your favorite sequencer. Then you aren't limited by whatever limitations the machine may have. I tap a lot of stuff into the midi editor of pro tools using a midi keyboard. It isn't...

"In there you got the insulation. The pink stuff, thats the good stuff. Tons of it, thats how you get the good insulation in a studio. " lmao freakin awesome

I record a lot of hard rock/metal. If I am using my Mesa Boogie Nomad 45 (45 watt head) I have it close to maxed. There is a point where the breakup gets too out of control but right before that point it sounds pretty killer. I also have a Framus cobra head that sounds great cranked. I have to...

I am primarily a guitarist so my kit is pretty modest. It works for the little bit of bashing I do. Pearl Export 4 piece.

Normally open switch if you want to press and hold to talk. Otherwise you will have to keep your foot on the switch to keep the mic off (using Normally closed).

Online is probably your best bet but if you get lucky, some Radio Shacks still carry a small stash of SPST switches which should do the trick I think.

I have a Fab-Tone stashed somewhere around here. I can't remember exactly how much I paid for it but it is built like a tank. I am a little surprised to see another pedal in the "Fab" line that is made of plastic. I guess for the price you can't really complain. The Fab Tone is pretty righteous...
