    stuff on Acid Planet

    Great stuff! I liked "King of the Urban Jungle". Sounded like Billy Gibbons singin'. Cool almost '70's mix. The only thing I heard was maybe (just maybe) there could be a little more punch in the drum mix but that's bein' very critical and it's also very subjective.

    check out my metallica cover

    Serious tempo problems. The drums are not in time with the guitars. The mix aint bad, but between the drums and guitars it sounds like you listening to two different songs at the same time.

    My Horse Is Stumblin Right From The Gate...

    For the most part, I agree with pglewis. Turn the guitars down a bunch and maybe pan them out of the middle to leave some room for the vocals. First though, I'd mute everything except for drums and work on getting a good drum mix for a starting point. There seems to be way to much going on in...

    Super Twins?

    I'm a tech and one of the perks of the job is that after I repair an amp I "have" to play through it to test it. It's my opinion that these things aren't even close to a twin. But keep in mind that's just my opinion. I hate Lab Series amps too, but the guitar player from King's X plays through...

    Newbie Here...need a little help

    One thing I've seen happen a lot is that when people compress, limit, or normalize to get the CD louder they cut too much peak information and the kick gets "lost". Try using a multiband compressor and do not compress the low end as much as the mids and highs.

    I need help

    Most DAWS scan your PC for plugs when the program is started so it shouldn't matter. If you do run in to problems using the default directory, look for a folder in your DAW directory that says VST Plugins, Direct X plugins, etc. depending on what type of plugs you have and put them there.

    Thoughts on this article from Rush fans or those who think "Loud" has gone too far?

    Maybe it's a ticket sales ploy? I love Rush and I was not only disappointed when their last effort came out, I was downright pissed off. I didn't think it was possible to make 3 such skilled and experienced players sound that shitty unless that was your intention. Anyway...I bought tickets to...

    Anyone use SAWPLUS?

    I use it and love it. I was an "analog" guy and wanted something that felt like an analog mixer, recorder, etc. This was the closest thing that I could find at the time. I think it has the easiest learning curve as far as DAW for PC software goes and I looked at a lot of stuff before I bought...

    Modifying a Spider line6 amp

    More specifically and in simple form, if you unhook the speaker in the Line 6 amp and install a 1/4" jack on the wires coming out of the amp (Be sure to mount it securely somewhere in the chassis so that it can not ground it self out by falling against the metal chassis or internal speaker.) ...

    Modifying a Spider line6 amp

    If your not talkin' about the speaker wires coming out of the amp hooked to the Marshall cabinet's speaker jack (which is how I would do it) have the Yellow Pages open to the Musical Instrument Repair section! :D

    Weird phasing during mastering

    Can you post some samples...before and after? It might be easier to help if it can be heard by some of the other great ears around here.

    help with snake please!

    It should work. Make sure your phantom power is there (Is there 48v coming out of the board?) and ohm out your snake (pin1 on one end to pin 1 on the other, pin 2 on one end to pin 2 on the other, pin 3 on one end to pin 3 on the other). It could be that someone wired the snake wrong.
