    Radio station in my guitar amp!

    You said that it comes thru without anything plugged in. That leads me to believe you one of four things hapenning: The input jack is also a switch. When an instrument is not plugged in, it grounds the tip. You may have a cracked solder joint on your input jack. If it is an older switchcraft...

    My drummer makes me sick!

    Well, Went onto the next song. Been a while since he played it, so it took a couple of takes before he was happy. The stuff he pulled off in that take blew me away. Ah well, he's admitted once everyone else is done recording, he will probably go back and redo the drums to fully fit the feel of...

    Chart Of General Compressor Settings

    Actaully, for someone who has never used a compressor before, this might not be bad. It looks like a compression chart someone made for their own rig/band. I'd take it as a general setup, but (as has been said) you'll have to adjust for your own ear and levels. From what I see though, none of...

    I'm So Sick Of My NS10's

    Because of the wave length, I have found that even being tuned to the room, I have to back away from my monitors to hear the frequencies in the lower octaves clearly. My general rule: If I can hear it strong when I'm close to them, then I have that freq too loud :D

    My drummer makes me sick!

    No drummer has a built in metronome. Sorry, doesn't happen. If staying in tempo is an issue,then buy a PEM and send him a click track of the sings from an Aux send. Nothing worse than rushing a set. When we play out, bet your ass the drummer will have a click track in his ear or a light bar...

    My drummer makes me sick!

    These are, inherently, the initial scratch recordings. Granted, I am going for the best available, but everything will be re-recorded eventually. The snare is on it's own sub btw. Properlay gated and compressed on the instert. Unless he hits the snare, there's nothing on that track. Zooming way...

    st. anger

    Uhm, Metallica doesn't exist anymore so why bring up their name in this thread? St Anger is a song by Alternica. Glad I could correct this debate for everyone. :D

    running two sets of cans off the same mixer

    My drummer makes me sick!

    Ok, Recording the drums first. Brilliant me hit Play vice Record. Pretty evident when, at the end of the take, no audio in the tracks. So, We do it again. This song has some of the most challenging transitions out of any piece we've written. He made one "mistake" out of the whole thing. He...

    METAL

    Damn nice! One helluva vocal combination and a catchy riff. Those synths are damn nice too! Gotta agree, less effects on the growl. Has a feel somewhere between Pantera, M Manson's Mechanical Animals, Pain of Salvation, and NIN's Perfect Drug. I like :D

    Powertab

    Using this neat little freebie for a new use. I've setup metronome click tracks til my eyes turned blue before. Now that I'm getting around to recording stuff I wrote and helped write, I found a nice use for this little program. I used to use it to tab out bass lines for the bassist in the...
