I had asked for some advice on EQ'ing the vocal on this track, and in that thread I had promised to post the finished song. What do you think? It's all me except the lead vocal and half of the backups. There is no auto-tune or MIDI or VI on this; it's all just multi-tracked audio. Thanks for...

Thanks for the effort, T-Guitar. Sounds good. I've tried IQ4GUI on her voice too, so great minds think alike I guess. I've nearly finished the mix now, taking everybody's suggestions into account. I'll post the finished product later today if anyone is interested. Thanks again for the help!

No. They exist for that purpose.

It's a pretty cool footswitch. You can do just about anything you could imagine with it. You could bias on the fly if you wanted to, or change the pitch at which a delay kicks in so it's only applied to your leads. It's literally endless. And it costs a thousand bucks, and they've had a...

I was never a fan of the modelers for the same reason, but now I use the Fractal for all my electric recording, and sometimes for bass too. It really is indistinguishable from the real thing. I've done blind tests. Yeah, the money is hard to swallow (especially the $1k footswitch...that still...

Actually I tried to, but it won't let me. Maybe I'm too new of a member still? Sorry about that.

I also find it ironic that after Leo's people spent hours and hours trying to find the cheapest possible parts to make these guitars out of, there are now droves of people spending hours and hours trying to pay as much as possible for those same parts.

This always seems like a paradoxical question to me, because every time someone brings a new faux-aged strat into the world, the coolness, mojo, and apparent rarity of the original instruments is somewhat reduced and/or cheapened. If you don't care about that, that's fine. To each his own...

I'm at work too, so I'm limited in listening ability to the hi-fi speakers in my office. I've give it a proper listen when I get home and see if anything else jumps out.

For a first try, I'd say you did a great job. It's actually similar to the result I was getting in my own efforts. It sounds great in the quiet parts, but that high-end gets a little harsh in the choruses. guitarplayr82, Thanks for the info. I had done similar things, but my low-mid started...

That's certainly a step in the right direction. What did you do? I'll take a guess that you notched it at 3k and shelved it around 7.5k?

Any opinions on how to avoid this in the future would also be appreciated. You can hear in the mix that on the backing vocals it isn't a problem. It's just when she really belts. It almost sounds like a phase problem, but it's just one mono track.

I hear ya. That's exactly why I bought the StudioLive, but I didn't need the flying faders. Fader recall is fine for the few times when I need to save a setup.

This girl is loud! And a little harsh when the pipes are really pumping. I've recorded her many times and cannot get a decent sound. I've tried all kinds of mics. I even bought a mic on this forum that I thought might tame her harsh high midrange. So, who thinks they can make it work...

Depends on how much cash you have to spend, and (often overlooked point coming up) when can you spend that much again? The obvious answer is a decent audio interface, mics, speakers, and room treatment, but if you're budget for the next year is only $500, maybe a cheap audio interface, a...

How about a used Control 24? Unless I'm mistaken, you'd still need converters, but given your stated budget and what they're going for on eBay, that shouldn't be a problem. I don't think there is anything out there in the new market that fits all your requirements.

It's worth bearing in mind that the various instruments, (almost) regardless of genre, were invented and evolved to be naturally spaced throughout the frequency spectrum. Most of the heavy lifting has been done for you by western civilization as a whole. You don't have to find a spot for...

I have a TSL that I cannot stand. That's probably the worst offender I can specifically point out. Haven't paid enough attention to the year/model of the others I've used to name names, but I think your above statement nails it on the head. I want to hear "LaGrange" and instead I get the...

My ears don't feel broken. The amps that have imitated Marshall sound good to me. The amps that Marshalls were meant to imitate sound good to me. Amps I've built myself that are based on those same designs sound good. For some reason, the Marshalls I've played have a really brittle quality...

Focal CMS65. Lovin' it!
