    Modern Metal Guitar Tone - (w/ sample)

    line 6 only a suggestion...but try,two tracks on input. blend a miked cab with a modeler ,preferably a line 6(pod xt, pod pro , pocket pod ,tone port...) this will provide you clear distorted recto sound. give your cab a slight crunch, not too much. blend these tracks together on seprate...

    Tracking bass that's tuned very low.

    bass volume knob I have run into the same problem you have. in the tracking,the first thing that worked for me is to tell you bass player to turn his volume knob half way up instead of all the way open. this will cut your muddyness down 50%. In mix down process cut frequency at 100hz to...

    Recording drums is hard (damnit)

    try this four mic setup If you are using the x-y set up it might be hard to get your full drum sound with only 3 mics. x-y works reay good for close micing, but it might give you a problem with phase if your image is too wide. try setting your overhead 5 feet apart and 18 inches off your...

    Getting this bass drum sound.

    pzm mic you need a thin sounding room(record in the garage) , a dead head (perferably used) and a pzm mic. the pzm mic is the key. It will give your hollowness about six feet away shooting straight up towards the ceiling.

    Drum Mics

    tight budget!! I pesonally use 2x v67g mxl's for the overheads and I think they work really well. as long as they are facing striaght down on the cymbals 18 inches off your highest one, and you keep the mic's 5 feet apart (they seem to get out of faze when they are anywhere else)...

    Are we still stuck with mp3?

    Who did your mastering? mp3, i know you lose alot of quality. i master my own stuff and i have come to find out you have to master two different ways. one for wave and one for mp3's. mastering compression on wave and none on mp3's. mp3's compress the hell out of a wave and you lose some life...

    Anyone try the Roland Micro Cube?

    micro-mega tone I tend to think the miro-cube is also good for a home studio. I've recorded all over house using it. being that is battery powered and light. put an sm57 off axis 3 inches away from it and set it dead center on the bath tub, you can't go wrong.

    bass drum microphone

    all 3 rock!! I've used all three and they all do well. the d6 is what i'm using now because my drummer wants that low frequency response, but thats all in mic placement anyway. the d112 is the best all around mic you could get for recording. they are easy to eq. the beta 52 is a good "woof"...
