You won't leave with same feeling unless you attend ProgPower USA, see an older metal band on a reunion/recapture-ish tour, or go to the European festivals like Graspop or Wacken. I play a 7-string and also use Drop D on a couple of songs. I use the low B on the 7-string only when needed. I...

guy is gonna have a virtual library by the time we're done with him :D

Another handy reference to have for learning compression is this: http://www.dbxpro.com/ftp_mirror/PDFs/WhitePapers/Compression%20101.pdf

^ What he said I used 1/2" braid with a 1/4" termail at each end when I used metal racks. I can say EFI was knocked down to zilch :D

That was every night I played with the last band I was in. I was sick of the alternative crud we were playing and the over-played classic rock numbers, plus their resistsance to originals didn't help. It finally got to me and I literally broke up the band when I found out the drummer was...

what kind of soundcard are you using now?

I defintely mic the drums and vox. The bass is direct through a SansAmp. I use two guitar amps. An Ampeg VH-140C and a Gallien Kruger ML/S. Both are run through an ADA Microcab II cabinet emulator. I had to stick an EQ on both outputs of the microcab to get the sound where I wanted it on the...

I help run one, but it's not along the same lines as mp3.com plus it's still small (<100 members as of yet) It's http://savagenet.net After submissions are made, members will listen to and review the submission. At least in theory. Sometimes they get lazy and don't do squat except post on the...

First off, what kind of mixer are you using? (the following is said cuz even the best alot fo times will get so frustrated they miss the obvious ;)) If it is an XLR out mixer, I could assume the you are carrying the left & Right outputs from XLR to 1/8" mini stereo. IF this is the case, you...

If you run a 1KHz singal through one and monitor it with an o'scope, you'll see it's little trick visually. A 1KHz sine wave is just that...a sine wave. The output of the BBE inverts the low and high peaks. Basically, instead of having a "mountain" looking positive wave, the wave's top will be...

Sweat has salt and pics up oil on its way out. that's why you feel sticky after finally drying off after a good sweat. I used to go to a sporting goods store and pick up a resin bag for bowling. If the powder inside wasn't talc, I'd unstictch it, pour in talc, and stitch it back. Was a bit of...

What he said ;) And Rimshot, I can summ that statement up in four assignments too lol. Remember that kit I was going thru hell mic'ing and finally got it? Antex Studio Card 2000 (four XLR inputs) - Input 1: Kick Input 2: Snare (I prefer to apply verbage to the snare post recording) Input 3...

ok, first question. Is this going to be a solo project? second question: what kind of music? There are some links in the Studio forum in a thread called "builing a studio", check those out for material suggestions. There is also discussions of building booths in there as well.

Another thing i have found useful for my 7-string is to use a compressor on the channel insert. I set it modestly. Depending on the setting of my amp, I use the follwing settings: Threshold of about -8 Ratio of 1:3:1 (maybe a clikc or two towards 2:1) just below 9 o'clock on the attack and a...

I used to get nervous until I realized one thing: I'm wasn't up there to prove anything. I was up there to have fun. I wasn't a guitarist backed up by other musicians. I was part of a band. Rehearsing bands...jam bands...it didn't matter. It was a band and that's how the general non-musician...

well short of hiring a string/brass section and buying a baby grand, that's compromise we'll have to make...good one Tex lol! :D I agree on the keys. It's not a weighted action, but her Roland synth isn't either. The upside is that it's pretty much the same action as used in the M series which...

Light in the tunnel afterall ;) American metal died a while back. I am a progressive metal guitarist and metal is doing very well - outsidce of the US. Even good US-based metal bands find their musical home overseas. Iced Earth, Nevermore, Savatage, Dream Theatre, Fates Warning, and even Type...

The Antex Studio Card 2000. The headroom and sonic clarity are to die for. It's totally transparent and I love that! But - it's a 4 in/4 out card. In's/out's are all XLR. Mono right? hehehe, system doesn't think so on the inputs. Picks up each one as being stereo. So, instead of four inputs...

In mixdown, I use four techniques...sometimes five. I'll use the headphones first since they are flat response and plastered to my head. Then I'll play it through the monitors to see the sound difference, ever how minimal it can be. I then move to stereo speakers in a regular room (I have three...

I fyou wan to link up sites, I help run one with a very similar concept: http://savagenet.net It has more than just music though :)
