If you want vintage sounds you need to use the same methodology as much as you can Have the musicians vey well rehearsed and play the songs all the way through Minimal overdubs close mic back then was considered 18". (Jeff Emerick got in trouble with EMI for bringing the mics closer than that...

I have 7 VST left in my folder My last two mixes I didn't use any of them but then I have a couple of hardware pieces that I used instead

Not any more :D true, now I only allow my computer to record and playback From what I see I am not alone in the phenomenon of time suckage from computers. there are literally millions of threads on the various recording fora about which EQ is best, how to pick which of the 143 VST compressors...

I'm increasingly of the opinion of that my decision to simplify and minimize my computer/DAW's role in music has led to far more music stuff in my life I have an absolutely kick ass 8 core computer that I custom built for audio and it's behaved pretty much flawlessly. However these days it's...

I wouldn't waste any more time on 16 vs 24 bit since both of the interfaces in question are 24 bit and so it's irrelevant to the OP's question The biggest thing you may notice is that you will have a lot more gain available on the Forte (about 15dB more)which might be important to you if you...

never did anything for me except give me a headache and make we want Pizza. Creative wise it's a complete blow out. I guess I'll just have to work on the music instead and play out a whole lot

and they work for live work too where plug in and DAW latency may be impractical or for where you don't want to use a computer at all

So I was feeling kind of “meh” about my song writing and guitar playing. Like I was running out of ideas and inspiration. I’ve written and recorded about twenty songs in the last couple of years, but recently everything I’m doing seems to sound the same as what I’ve already done. Add to this...

Just dropped a new Eminence Cannabis Rex into my Fender Blues Jr 3. Yay! Now just got a few days of break in to work throgh so lots of scales and barre chords up and down the neck. I can already hear that the top end sounds a little rounder and overall more creamy than the stock speaker...

It's too bad I don't have a YouTube account so I can't post the video i just made of me watching a video of someone opening a box

I usually take a less all or nothing approach but do tend to have most of the key elements panned LCR. These are the most clearly imaged areas in the stereo field (in fact the L& R are the most well defined) Since the soft panning elements (stuff between 100% L or right and center) tends to have...

Congrats on the new amp hope it rocks! Never owned a marshal myself as the only one's I've played that I really liked where the really big wattage ones and I just don't need that much power, and would have a hard time getting into the sweet spot for the small gigs that I do. But some of their...

I just pickup up a Bogner Ecstasy Blue pedal. I'm not about to drop 4 grand on a Bogner amp so I have no idea how similar they sound but I wanted to share my thoughts on this pedal whih is suposed to somewhat emulate the blue channel on the Ecstasy amp. I picked it up this morning and will be...

I've used: Double or multiple tracking, whisper tracks, Multiple stage of compression, hitting the tape hard (or tape sim), Very aggressively compressed parallel compression, Wow & flutter, Octaved up double track behind the main vox, etc etc etc Unfortunately it still sounds like my sh!tty...

Surely this would still be the same on phones or speakers since as Scotty once said "You cannae change the laws of physics, Jim" if you have a 0dB pan law and you pan something center you get double the power as both speakers are playing the signal at full level vs hard panned which is one...

Nice Original post. Position well stated and +1

Wtf, I just sold 11 downloads in one day. That's usually more like what I see in a month if I'm lucky. Does Bandcamp have some kind of spotlight for non paying members or something that I'm oblivious to and didn't notice. Maybe someone just hit 11 instead of one by mistake in the checkout box :D...

more of the occasional silly Brit Pop nonsense from Bristol Posse https://soundcloud.com/infinite-number-of-chimps/for-her-web-audio

This being audio there are numerous ways to get the result you want, and this being the internet there are plenty of opinions that are quoted as fact or absolutes :D So here is my opinion only and method These are what I think about before using compression when recording 1) What am I...

Yes and No As I've become more experienced I have realized the importance of getting the sound right up front. as close to the finished product as possible as it were. With this in mind if I know that I don't want a lot of low end in the guitars for example, I'll cut the bass on the amp, or use...
