'Fraid so mate. When you can hear what's going on you have a better chance of making it sound good!

Balancing act. At the mastering stage you need to keep an eye on peaks - if you start letting transients through, you risk tripping the little red lights on your master bus. But spending some time tweaking the attack and release can be very productive - depending on how high your ratio is and...

I should add that I'm only listening on PC speakers, but just listened to Gotta Piss. The verses sound a lot better to me than the choruses, which sound a bit squashed when everything's in at full blast.

Just a thought - sometimes the muffled highs can be down to dodgy compression. Have a look at your attack times and how hard you're squashing it down when you 'master' - you could just be battering the transients into submission.

Sorry buddy, no touting for business on this website please. This is a hobbyists forum, not a place for people to make money. I know you were only putting yourself forward because this guy is offering money, but what you've posted is an advert for your stuff. Let me know if I haven't...

Don't! You'll only encourage the rep haters! :p

Score! Light agrees with me!! :o

That was a creative solution but the easiest way is to tap the pickup with something metal - allen/hex keys are ideal because you usually have a few around if you're fiddling with your guitar, but screwdrivers are fine too. That way you can be 100% on what is on and what is off.

Whoever buys them needs to be sure they're going to be able to sell them for more. You need to convince somebody that people are going to come in and buy that CD, preferably about 800 of them over the next six months or so. :eek:

Well, you just have ONE channel of guitar. So if you put it all the way to the left, it's gonna sound weird. If all you're recording is one guitar and one vocal track, leave them both in the middle. There's controls in Cubase for each channel - volume, pan, plugin effects etc. I don't use...

You're plugging the guitar straight into the jack input? That is a single, mono channel. Where it sits in the stereo field depends on where you pan it in your recording software.

No. A channel is mono. To get a stereo signal in, plug the left side of your FX/whatever's making the stereo signal into channel 1 and the right into channel 2. Then pan them hard left and hard right in your sequencer to have them spread as wide as you want. What is putting out a stereo...

So you're connecting the left side of your guitar signal to channel 1? And the right side to channel 2? And you're connecting the left output to your left speaker and the right to your right speaker? Just checking because a lot of starters don't realise that channels are mono. You're not...

Still, it could be worse. I could be either Purge or Acidrock.

I've never been any good with a pick. Can't get the accuracy going. Stuck with mid-paced blues rock. Finger bass comes naturally to me, and so does playing 6-string with fingers instead of a pick. Only one problem - Mark Knopfler sucks. :mad:

Victory Pete, Did you read my post? If you want to playfight please go to the Dragon Cave, I'm sure you can find a good argument if you go in there and start calling people mindless followers. Leave your fruitless argument here alone now please.

Erm, Victory Pete, can I make a polite moderation request that you try not to be quite so ......... annoyingly wrong? You must understand that it's not your being annoying that is the problem, and nor is it your wrongness that is the problem. It's the fact that in two threads that I have read...

I was like that even after I bought an Apple. I guess it's natural that you take some time to adapt after working one way since 1994. After a fortnight, though, I started to find XP a really frustrating OS. I'd gotten so used to my windows wizzing around for me and being able to read files...

My whole point about Chance's "not for profit" line is that what you call the "need to cover costs" would (in my world anyway) include money for my time, because my time spent packing and labelling etc is worth something. That pay IS the profit, you decide whether you are willing to do it for a...

LOL ... he was thanking you for the link. But he starts every post by altering the person's username (that he's replying to) in some sort of comedic way. In your case, I think he just got lost in there with all those consonants in a row. :o
