Hi everyone, Firstly I have indeed searched through the back catalogue of topics, which seemed to answer my initial question regarding how good the Toneport is. It seems like it is recommended for a person like myself who doesn't have the equipment, space or room setup in order to mic my amps...

Should I get a subwoofer with my monitor speakers or not? I ask because I am unsure whether you are meant to mix with a subwoofer or not. With a subwoofer on surely this can lead to being shy with applying the bass in the mix. Or am I wrong?

Wow. Thanks a lot. And thanks for all the advice too... appreciated.

I remixed one of my bands songs "Conflict of Interests". Would appreciate your thoughts. I wanted the drums to be more thumpy. Thoughts? http://www.myspace.com/sammybarker EDIT: Shit the bed I put the wrong link :P

Makes sense now I must admit. It would be nice for something like I mentioned as a learning tool and as a basis to work from - but like you guys have put clearly... Perhaps not a rational idea? Thanks for all your help guys, appreciated as ever.

Yeah, that's a difficulty I never really considered - but now you mention it I guess that's true. Guess it shows how little I know about musical theory. But you guys make some good points actually, I'm still confused however: (Noob question again, don't flame) - if music theory doesn't...

I really like short songs. Like someone mentioned above - it's nice to have a song that leaves you wanting more. If you feel that it's is dragging on, and your finger is hovering over the "skip" button, it's too long.

Now I know what you are thinking - "Go and learn music theory you n00b"... but I am curious as to why no one has made such a thing yet (maybe they have but I can't find it). Imagine you have just got a guitar chord sequence worked out. Maybe a guitar sequence? Chordfind.com will help you if you...

Yes it helps muchos. Thanks very much.

Hi guys, I am thinking of setting up a little home studio area over the summer. This is not meant to be a full on a studio with sound proofing etc - I want to get to grips with using the software, get a real feel for mixing, and just get some general experience in before I plan on taking this...

The guitar sounds really nice on that. Is that purely POD?

It sounds like the POD will be a good choice to get me going on recording some demos. Do I just plug the guitar into it and then line that into my soundcard?

Hi, Thanks for the excellent, informative and prompt responses guys. Really appreciated. What do we play? I am most likely going to end up recording classic rock, pop-punk, punk or blues with it. I mean - obviously I am only looking at recording demo type things. I just wondered what my best...

How good is this system for recording? I am looking at getting a new setup for recording - and I want some kind of direct amp modelling hardware. The sort of stuff I would look at recording is mainly rock, classic rock, grunge and also with the possibilty of some sugar coated guitar rock. The...

Ah-hah. You will all laugh when I tell you but, what the hell. Drum machine on Ableton Live - and a Marshall Valve Amp lined out into my laptop microphone port :P Sammy.

Thanks for the thoughts, we'll definitely keep it in mind. I think we are gonna go to a studio soon - so all should be cool :D

Thanks for the tips guys - gonna have a little mess around with it this morning and take your tips on board. Thanks again. EDIT: Updated version online now. Drums have a bit more thump to them (I think) and the intro is a bit louder. :D Sammy, SN.

Thanks for the tips. I'll turn that introduction up and the hi-hat down. Simple fix. Thanks again :D

... And I know you will scoff 'cos it isn't all that great... YET if you measure improvement then I am very happy. And I want to improve EVEN more. Please tell me what you think of the mix and the song, and where I can improve (both areas) next time: http://www.myspace.com/slipperynipplerock...
