Yeah. Try it.

Especially not if your goal is to match Ringo's intensity. When I'm exhausted playing guitar, I'll often rest my hair on the strings. Itn makes a neat muted guitar sound. A little bit like a sitar attack with no real sustain. Cool for picking. I'm probably around the millionth person to do...

Here, on this section of this forum is a sticky acoustic thread. It's a good primer for recording acoustics and should get the wheels turning. https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=290919

If you want heavy guitars like that, you best read this article if you haven't already. http://www.badmuckingfastard.com/sound/slipperman.html Great insight to recording heavily distorted guitars. The main part is the chain and how you use it. I dont know but for some reason I doubt that...

I have in fact undergone the same process. I wanted to import all of my 388 tracks into the computer using a motu 8pre. I believe the best way to do it would be using the direct outs. You can get an 8 channel snake and go right into your interface. Yes I think you could just use the send outs...

If it's an inferiority issue, shut up. You sound great in there. The singing sounds GOOD. I would want to push that further upfront. The singing is on par if not better than the instrumentation to me. And as for the samples. You can use the same hits but making them different velocitys and...

The drum tones sound great but I can't get over the robotic sound. It feels like theyre exactly to grid and all the same velocity samples. The same velocity samples make those snare rolls sound very fake to me. I think the whole mix at this point would sound much better if the vocals sat on...

You're recording electric guitar? you could turn up your amp. What distortion are you talking about? are your signals clipping? You should track your music with around -9db peaks Gain staging, I'm pretty sure that his preamp is the only place he is worrying about his gain.

You can look at it one of two ways. You either need a more sensitive microphone. OR you need a higher gain preamp. There's nothing wrong with your microphone. Dynamic microphones typically need more gain to optimize the level. Also, there is nothing wrong with having your microphone preamp...

A HA! It's all coming together now. I really gotta get my head around more of these concepts. The fun thing for me is that, the technical mumbo jumbo gets more interesting to me each day. If only I had the ears! :confused::eek:

I've been signing my name at the bottom of most of my posts. Eric

What exactly is meant when you guys say "non linear processing"? Can you give an example where you can confidently conclude (even w/ aggressive processing) that upsampling has a positive effect.

You can get a sense of how close they are to "getting it right". If they're on the brink of nailing it, see if you can push them to that spot on performance. If they're not even near getting it right, you can refer to beat detective. If that's out of the question and you have the liberty of...

I'm not sure I follow exactly how that experiment would go. I might have to wait for the next time you get to your studio. I'm stuck in the snow at school, except I have my studio with me. :)

Yeah I expected that myself, as I said in my earlier post. Can't make something out of nothing. I just proved it graphically that there was no higher frequencies/overtones generated through the reverb at a higher sampling rate. This proved true in this scenario. May I say, I have little...

Hey Tom, thanks for the look. And yes, you're right. It's been a while since I've read about alias freq's. My definition went a little wacky over time. I took it out to avoid confusion/misinformation. Thanks for the correction.

Okay. I tried to run my little experiment. The process went as follows. I used a 44.1khz Nine Inch Nails song. Not sure of the name of the song but I have the file from a past audio experiment. To view the frequency information, I used a program called Sonic Visualizer's Spectogram. This...

From my understanding, there wouldn't be any improvement. After you record at 48khz, there is already no high freq information above approx 24 khz. I don't think you can create high end freq information out of something that's not already there. This calls for an experiment! Give me about an...

Don't touch the new tubes with your bare hands. The oils from your fingers can decrease the longevity of the tubes. Same with your headlights on your car if you're replacing them :). Other than that, as far as I know, it should be smooth sailing.

Always bringing some great work to the table Steve. I admire the sounds you get. Keep it up my man!
