I certainly hope not. I just spent about six months really working on scales, modes, picking accuracy and technique, I'd hate to think it was all for nothing :guitar:

A lot of studios phase flip one of the two speakers and send a mono mix to them with the speakers placed so that they more or less null at the vocal mic. They also place them in the rejected area of the mic pattern Good tutorial at RONAN'S RECORDING SHOW Can be really good if the vocalist is not...

I used to use Acid Pro 7 but recently moved away for a few reasons *It's not fully 64 bit compatible and hasn't had an update in over three years, there are a lot of rumors floating around on Sony's forums that development has been abandoned (two full new versions of Vegas and one Soundforge...

I use a compressor on things when recording if I think a track needs it to get the sound I want. I find this can lead to less analysis paralysis later on because I recorded the sounds I wanted the way I wanted them at the tracking stage rather than record everything dry and then mess around in...

I've been messing a lot with M/S recording and I love it for acoustic guitar and as a room mic for guitar cabs when I only want a single guitar playing You really get the sense of being in the room with the guitar There can be a lean because it is after all a stereo micing technique. If you...

Some great stuff already been said here. I'll add my $0.02 could you build and run a professional F1/Nascar/Indy car at home by yourself, with just raw talent and figuring stuff out on the internet and watching youtube videos It's not impossible! but you'd be up against teams of people with...

Here's a quick snapshot of my 000-15

Depends! Passive boxes have the advantage of never needing to be powered but usually need a higher out put pickups feeding them. Bass guitars and accoustics usually have higher output, active pickups and keyborads have a powerful output and are fine into a passive DI, electric guitar can be hit...

I'd suggest getting a radial DI and re amp box check here RADIAL STUFF Go through the DI to both computer and amp and record the direct from the DI Then you can send the recorded direct through the reamp box back to your pedals/amp later This gives you the ability to play live performance...

I have one of these http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/choosing/guitars.php?p=i&m=000-15 Which would fall under their 000 14 fret auditorium series and cost a little over a $1000 US I also found the dreadnaughts way too boomy sounding for my tastes and recordings, but love what this type of...

I would completely agree, I have found though, that most people looking at attenuators to play at home have crazy "Stadium" rigs like 60-100 watt heads or more and so are trying to soak up like 95% of the power when using the attenuator. Even on my old Vox AC30 there was a real difference in...

I just ordered the Behritone one My thought process: "Why do I need a high quality, Shitty speaker" even if it breaks out of the Sweetwater 2 year warranty, I could buy 5 of the Behritones before I would have saved money by getting the clearly higher quality Avantone

I have one and it does what it says on the box. It's really useful if you record in multiple different places and don't or can't treat them all, this is not a replacement for room treatment but it can certainly help in these situations and it can also help even more in a somewhat treated room...

I love low watt amps for recording! Actually the AC4 is one of my more powerful amps. I have recording amps in the 2,4 & 5 watt flavors I was never able to get my AC30 into a sweet spot in my recording space (Also known as the spare room) without getting severe ringing in my ears and...

I've gone analog I found MXR's analog pedals a few weeks ago and have become addicted to these cute little boxes, and divested myself, thanks to ebay, of the boss versions of these effects that I had previously, to help in pay for my little spree. Really sounds like an upgrade to my ears...

my 2 cents practice like crazy before even recording, don't try to make up the guitar noodling and vocal ad libs at the point you are trying to record the song (unless you have years under your belt as an amazing live musician) unrehearsed material will just sound like.... well unrehearsed...

I run my amps at the level that gets me the sound I want and then use mic choice, placement and gain staging to get appropriate levels throughout my recording chain and into my DAW In the recording chain I aim for roughly line level RMS based on +4dBu and where that comes out on my DAW meters...

I generally have the tempo figured out weeks before I turn on the DAW Play it at the speed that sounds right, tap my foot and count the beats there's the tempo Use a mentronome to rehearse all the parts at the correct pace. adjust if something doesn't seem to feel right.

what kind of noise, electrical noise or room noise How high is the noise floor?

You can't I'm using the Fig 8 capsule on the 181, I must have got excited about all of the capsules this mic has and mis typed:facepalm:
