Are you running a Mac or PC. I'm on Mac (G5) and it doesn't seem to matter. worst case scenario is set resolution to whatever the 'least able monitor' (now's there's a decription worth discussing) is capable of.

OK- I come from an "old school" tape background where near saturation was the goal for signal levels. With digital, the consensus (amoung those in the know) is -16dB - -14dB so tere's plenty of room for compression. Based on some rather "ugly" sessions I've done with respect to clipping and...

I've always operated/been so influenced/lectured/taught that DI bass was best. among the arguments was the length of a room to fully capture the low freq (32') and vibration artifacts, etc. A friend has loaned me his SVR and a David Eden for a project. My room is small (max from amp 20')...

JM Nice tune- my opinions intro guitar (or pedal...not sure) is too in your face Rhythm (strumming) guitar is geting lost Vocals are very up front, not a bad thing, but seems out of balance with the rest of the mix BGV caught me off guard... not sure about them the guitar solo should come...

I'd suggest recording clean and then adding the effects/plug-ins. otherwise if you play the solo of you life but don't like the effects you had in the chain you're SOL having said that, I understand the difficulty in playing clean and trying to imagine sustain and crunch.... Stainless Sacramento

I've got a pair of the Behringer Powerplay Play ProXL's. I had Rolls (53... whatever before). The Behr's inputs are parallel and the outputs routed thru a patchbay (as I have a possible 13 Headphone connections in my studio "room" even tho the 2 Behr's only have 8 (total) outs. I like the...

I like the NeutriK "normalized" patchbays" as you can pull the boards out and reverse to change the switching. This gives a lot of flexibility (and fewer patch cables) as you can run to the patch bay (back) and pass thru to where ever you need the connection. From the front side, depending on...

I took over the family room /den whcih serves as the "control room" and theres conveniently a bathroom off of it. There used to be an aquarium in the wall which was downsized to a smaller opening to make room for a door. The smaller opening is glassed (tilted plastic lam dual pane ) which looks...

Here's my set-up, still a work in progress---

I've found a pencil condenser to work best-the MXL 991 for the fretboard and a larger diaphragm for the soundhole (AT-4040... even the Octavia's worl relatively well. Dynamic mic's need to be quite close for real good sound capture (IMO... but then again...) ...opinions expressed here are base...

I play a Mesa Rocket 440, 45 watts and typically at 2-3 for small rooms and 4-5 for big and outside we mic everything thru the board.... standing infront of the amp at 4 -5 my ears are mush by the end of the 3rd set :p

I have 10, which is to say more than I need... I think its a documentable sickness, especially since I mainly play 2 ( 3 if you count the acoustic when it's late, my wifes asleep and I'm trying to be q-u-i-e-t In order of playing time -PRS custom 24 -Custom shop Tele, lace sensors, double coil...

I'd take the Hartke. (door #3) Behringer makes good stuff ( I like their 1953 tube pre-amp and the headsphone amps) and then there's the lemons. We bought some Behr- subs and one of the cabs delaminated on one side within a month. They would have covered it under warranty (had we saved the...

Try 2 SM57's one close (6") slightly off axis from the cone and a second one ~ 4' back dead level /straight on with the middle of your cab. Try gain (post fader) at about -14 to -16 dB Pre fader gain about -10dB This has worked well for me with my Mesa with 4 10's and a second bottom 1 - 12...

Fotr your Mesa, a Shure SM57 works great and you should be able to find one used for about $50 ..> screamer vocalists do OK with them to

Aside from what I've found on Harmony Central, anybody know about these amps? I've a friend who wants to trade me a Starfield SVA-100 combo - 100 watt handwired tube amp, 2 x 12 Cestions, made in Leeds, UK somewhere between 92 - 96, and a venture backed by Ibanez and Tama. Ibanez still (or once...

I'm sure someone will jump in if this isn't exactly correctly, but pre-eq essentially cuts or boosts the range of frequencies in the signal... the tone pot on a guitar is essentially an EQ device, with most being linear, so you have one giant slider for the range, lots of bass cuts the treble...

I seem to get the best results by having folks (including myself) use the amp they typically gig with, including whatever effects they use. I suggest (and do myself) record at the same volume I use at rehearsal (which BTW sounds quite loud in a room all by itself). I use a SM57 about 3' away...

Look for a used Mesa Studio 22, or a Studio preamp. Should be able to stay in the $400 to $600 range

I got the Hammond for my home studio for free. I was told it was a B-3 (big organ, pedals.... looked about like what I remembered B-3's looking like).... anyway turns out to be a H-100 series (the 182 has to do with cabinent style and wood finish). I've been offered a Fender Leslie for free...
