    Recording Guitar direct

    I went from living in an apartment to living with my girlfriend (now wife). I still don't do much micing, though it does sound better. I understand your frustration. I did the guitars on the this track (see link below) with a Line 6 POD Live XT. The leslie background guitar and bass guitar were...

    Wishbass, ya know ya want one

    Wish is a longtime friend of mine, and I don't think he'll be retiring anytime soon. He and a mutual friend were here at the house last week to play some music. Wish brought an upright bass he made, which sounded pretty good. I did end up with one of his lap steels and a Hele-Tele. Long story...

    Bass Pods

    +1 on both responses. Amplitube SVX is nice and clean. Also, I downloaded the Bass Expansion pack for my POD XT Live. It's pretty good as well. It's got some versatility to it. Spent a lot of time trying to find some decent bass sounds in the past. Got some others to offer up as well... *...

    Life By The Drop

    Thanks for the input, Goldilox. Guitar was recorded with a direct signal > Fishman pre amp > ART Tube MP > computer interface -AND- MXL 990 > ART Tube MP > mixer > computer interface I was trying to see what (if anything) the pre amps might add. Sure, I could read about...

    Compression pedal - what do you use it for

    I have to assume that a master volume overcomes all of that. I'm not sure how it makes sense to increase compression as your overall volume increases, though someone here could clear that up for me if there is an answer. I have never been a fan of using a compressor/sustainer with lots of...

    Life By The Drop

    Had to create some new demo stuff. Spent part of this evening working on a few different tunes. This was one of them. As always, I look forward to what y'all have to say. SoundClick artist: J Moody - page with MP3 music downloads Thanks... -j

    Temporary Isolation Ideas

    I think that's probably what will happen. Might hang up some quilts and see if that helps some, too.

    Temporary Isolation Ideas

    I have one track that got the heater in it. Another track got some noise from the water pipes. I'm not operating under the impression that I'm making million dollar recordings on a shoe string budget, but I wold like to find a way to lessen some of the sounds of the family and their normal...

    Temporary Isolation Ideas

    I recorded some demo tracks recently. I'm looking to do some solo or duo gigs locally. After I went back and listened, I realized that my home isn't the most quiet place to record acoustic instruments. My rig is set up in the basement with no isolation booth. I'm wondering if anyone can offer a...

    Mix in Progress

    The guitars and bass sound great. What are you using to record them?

    Thank You

    I've been busy working on my own thing (rhythm tracks). A family member asked me to record a couple of backing tracks, so I happily obliged. This is a rhythm track for Dido's "Thank You". This is not a final mix, but I always welcome helpful criticism...

    Natural Acoustic Guitar PreAmp

    Got to change my choice. Switched over to a Fishman pre amp. I like it 10 times better than the ParaDriver DI.

    Overdrive pedal in front of FX processor

    Does the G7 have an effects loop? I run a Boss GT-8 on stage every weekend. None of the overdrives impressed me, so I started running a TS-9 Reissue (sometimes followed by a Voodoo Labs Bosstone fuzz) in the effects loop. Better than what's inside, and it does what I need. Just something to...

    Is Reaper Actually Stable?

    Nice to know someone else is experiencing what I'm dealing with lately. I realize nothing is perfect. I'm almost to the point of uninstalling some of the VST's and VSTi's that aren't as useful. Thinking this way has caused me to and back and take a look at what is necessary, and I've been...

    Is Reaper Actually Stable?

    Just in case it wasn't known already...you have to have EZ Drummer to run their Electronic expansion pack. I'm a fan of Toontrack's products. I have EZ Drummer, a handful of expansion packs, and some of their MIDI packs (as well as some of Groove Monkee's MIDI packs). It was well worth the...

    Do you use amp modeling instead of amp?

    I have a SansAmp Classic and a Para Driver DI. Both are incredibly useful and realistic. One of the reasons I choose to use the plug-ins for recording instead of the tech21 pre-amps is control. If I use a VST, I can manipulate the track after I record it (instead of recording a dry guitar...

    Just got a pair of Rokit 5's and they sound like...

    Everyone has their own preference. Hope the OP finds what works for his/her particular situation. I've been using KRK Rokit 5's for half a year now. They sounded good on the Tascam and the Fostex, and they sound good with the signal coming out of the Delta 44 (through a Behringer mixer for...
