If you want to improve your guitar sound, what you're going to need is an amp, a dynamic mic such as an SM57 and an audio interface with XLR inputs and microphone preamps. The devices you mention are very different from each other. Kemper is for direct recording (like you're probably doing...

All right motherfucker, what the hell did you do to Greg!?

Don't want to mess with those guys. Been there. :D

I'm pretty sure you will not notice much (if any) difference in sound quality. Preamps might sound a tad (minimal though) different, but not enough to really worry about. I went from an RME Fireface UFX, which I had to sell for traveling money, to a Focusrite 18i6 and honestly didn't notice a...

:laughings:

If it sounds too lousy, try increasing the amount of practice put into it. Also, if it sounds like the right amount of wet signal, try decreasing it a little bit. Seriously. Other than that, just experiment and you will know what the different options do. Try everything.

Awesome, can't wait to try that. EDIT: btw I've been listening to some of your stuff and it is just up my alley. Great stuff!

Since you're not a drummer, you can program every beat in your DAW if you have a plugin. Any beat with any velocity in any pattern imaginable. Painstaking as Armistice mentioned, but also actually pretty fun once you get into it. OR learn how to drum, get a drum set, get mics for it, learn how...

Yours is really convincing. What plugin did you use?

Not far from it at all :D It's called AEON. I've always been a sucker for animated psychedelic goodness. Aeon Screenshots - new age visuals for your music

All I can say is I am a huge fan of RME's mixer/routing software that comes with the Babyface and other RME interfaces, so I'd choose that one. Incredibly stable drivers too.

I like having it as a standalone application when I just jam out on the guitar. It's a really psychedelic one that really puts me in the mood for doing weird shit I never thought of with the guitar (musically!). Oh well, I guess I'm gonna have to join the lava lamp club.

You're right, Miro. It is perfectly understandable that they want to protect themselves from pirates. Most applications may have offline installation possibilities, but there are certainly exceptions. Like this screensaver I bought (I know, just a screensaver, but still) that I've been using on...

Cool, I'll try that when the 244s arrive. Thanks man.

Awesome.

I've been thinking about using a few 244s for that purpose when I'm not mixing. How would you place it to record an acoustic? In front of yourself and the mic, or behind us (that is, the mic and I :facepalm:) ?

Having used Addictive Drums for a few years(?) I needed something I can install offline. I hate all those online authorization apps out there as my studio computer doesn't even have a network card so there's no way to install a lot of things. So I checked out SSD after reading your post and...

Ended up ordering four 244 traps and two tri-traps. Can't wait!

If you can't hear them on your recordings, then yes, you should be fine.

Korg Pitch Black. Better, slicker and cheaper than TU-3 in my opinion. Better visibility in the dark. For example a TU-3 couldn't tune the low C on a five string bass of a friend of mine. The Korg did it without any problems. Also, it's true bypass if that matters to you (which it doesn't really...
