    Recording a Fender Strat

    i like a similar sound and use a strat too...everyone else has already given some good ideas but the setup i use is: strat, into wah-wah, into big muff, into music man 65, into cab with 12" JBL D-120 and i feel like it produces that "classic rock" vibe

    How do I get a thicker tone?

    in addittion to the other good comments i just got Izotone Trash which does a passable of imitating different sounds (i have a Music Man-65 and i was able to create a preset that sounded pretty similar). after you've got things mic'd and eq'd it might be a good "finishing move"

    A Recent Marketing Proposal

    Ha...my monty python thoughts now turn to "silly-walkers". But I also agree, the quicksilver thing is shady. They had contacted a friend of mine's band...who was less then pleased with the "arrangement"

    Another Annoying Request for Budget Monitor Opinions

    well, to some extent (and you're probably already aware) you do want a larger space so that the sound isn't getting too colored and you're not getting a ton of reflections...so i think the untreated aspect is a good one. i just got some studiophile av-40s for christmas and really like the results.

    seeking rough mix advice

    thanks kerrio and matt... this would just be an instrument mix. i moved the opening guitar in a bit from the left and kept the guitar volumes down. overall, i feel like this opened up quite a few inequities with the snare and bass so i did some slight eq'ing with them. i'm not sure what i think...

    analog setup question

    dude that VHS experiment sounds far out...do you have any samples? once you've mixed down to the VHS will you pretty much just be using the computer for mastering stuff? i'll admit much of my rationale for thinking of going with reels is based on the "they're reels and reels are cool" but is the...

    seeking rough mix advice

    so guitar volume-wise were you referring to something more like this in relation to the drum tracks: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=21567 i left the drum tracks at the same volume (bass, snare, overhead) and then dropped the guitars by 8 db. thanks for the input!

    analog setup question

    i'm thinking to get the sound to my recordings that i want i should make the switch to analog. my plan was to record onto tape and then output the tracks individually into the computer. if i do that am i defeating the purpose of recording analog in the first place? i had looked at a few...

    Of The Sea - Quick and nasty cover for the missus

    I'm new here, need some input on the overall sound of my mixes.

    hey myr--i listened to three of the songs: on vulture (i like how the vocals and guitar solo come in on that) i didn't hear too much in the way of mix advice for the first acoustic guitar portion (once the 'rock' portion kicked in i felt like the guitar could go down 1-2 db). i did hear the...

    Advice on Electric Guitar sound

    I agree with zero--I thought the guitar tone worked and was good for this style. I feel like some of the other sound issues (fullness) would be filled out once the bass and drums get mixed in there...or that marshall
