You guys have a good point. Not going to be as helpful to look at examples of other people's settings, I just need to experiment more.

So everyone has a different answer. It sounds to me like those drum plugins are all good quality. What about E-Z drummer, anyone use or like that?

Great, that's actually awesome news, because it means the problem is with me and I can still get some results without draining $ away for now. (it makes me curious if the same is true for reverb). As far as the vocal leveling, I'm going to try to do that with the fader ride option as you said...

I have a question about built in Daw compressors, free plugin ones, and anything else that's considered very low end. Is it possible to get good or great results with these? I remember trying repeatedly to use the built in one with garageband, and it seemed every setting I put it on made the...

I can tell you right now that its not really that super clear as it seems. There's a ton of echo and reverb added and I feel like this "live" performance has been heavily mixed after the fact. If you listen closely you can hear sections of the phrases that are much weaker and kind of whiny that...

Hey man, that's a good question. I'm going to cut you off right now on the "what's the best setting" thing though. Every single different mixer/musician is going to disagree on what's the best setting. There's no shortcut here, you just have to experiment with different settings and use your...

TC Electronic Reverb 6000 MKII Mainframe with TC ICON Remote | VintageKing.com I see you can pick up this reverb unit for the low low price of 14k. I this what pro studios use? Has anyone heard one of these and how could it possibly be worth it? This makes the lexicon reverb look like a bottom...

Yeah just get the zoom boss or digitech one that does everything. If I was going to spend that much I might specialize in something that does one thing really well, but I never seem to be motivated to buy or use pedals when I play guitar. To be honest I can think of a lot better ways to spend...

It sounds professional IMO. I'm curious why did you decide to triple track your vox? I didn't know that was a common thing.

Absolutely I only bought into that myth for a very short time before I wised up. Many classical musicians never bother playing with a click, because its not as necessary for that style of music. Its not like there's a funky groove going on. I bet that's partly where it comes from. The click is a...

When I knew that my performances were up to par, what did if for me was reverb. This got me much closer to the classic rock recordings that inspired me, which are all absolutely drenched in reverb. Unfortunately I still only have a very low quality one, but that is probably next on my list of...

This is a GREAT question. I wanted to write songs for about 7 years, and I didn't because I used this excuse. One day I looked back 7 years and realized all I had were a few scraps of inspiration that I never motivated myself to turn into a real song, I that I had accomplished absolutely...

Out of all the great rock and punk songs in music history, why would you choose Blink182? This is madness!!

Probably yeah. I also vouch for Oktava mics. I use an MK219. If you want to hear an example of what that can sound like, listen to my recordings from the link in the sig. All those are done using the same mic.

I don't understand why you would have pitch problems, is your voice just shaky. If you have little control over your voice, maybe you just have to sing more? This might be a question only you can answer for yourself. My answer would be.. just sing in tune dammit!:laughings: But seriously some...

Hey man, thanks for the link I'll check it out. To be honest I don't know what the strong point for spring emulations are? I'm not sure why I wrote that. I am getting a real tube spring verb made for me now so I guess that's even less reason for an emulation.

Not to be argumentative, but I think some people would disagree with you about it being easier to just fix it later in the mix, rather than getting it right right from the start. I know what you mean about mics not being flat, but again, why not just choose a good microphone? I use an Oktava...

I've used the built in reverbs with garageband, Reaper, and poorplate. I'm not satisfied with any of these.

Hello! I'm looking to buy a good quality sounding reverb plugin. The sound I'm going for is 70s/80s rock. I like the sound of plate and spring. Does anyone have any suggestions of a good plugin that's not super expensive. I'm talking hopefully under $100. A cheap but great sounding reverb. Does...

Ok cool. The kind of sound I'm going for is more like 70s rock, zeppelin style, where there's is far fewer tracks, and the mix isn't cluttered up with a zillion things.
