I love my TC Electronics G-Major. The effects sounds great and it's very tweakable. I've never been a fan of the "floor" processors. Usually they don't seem to sound as good as "rack" models. Floor models also seem cheaply built (lots of plastic) which makes me worry about someone stepping on...

Well... you just posted about how you have to "get the most out of your money" and now all of a sudden you are willing to pay 3x more than you would making them yourself. :rolleyes: All I've got to say is good luck with everything! :D

I wouldn't do it. If you have them attached to mic stands, then that means they will be moved alot and bumped-up against, etc. If you were just hanging them on the wall, that might not be so bad. If you are trying to get by on the cheap, just get some dollar-a-yard fabric from WalMart or...

Hmm... it's been a while since I opened up a Strat, but... you should be able to remove the pickguard without removing any of the volume/tone knobs.

Point taken. But I don't push the gain-- at least I don't think I do. I try to keep everything away from the red and I would say the average hit is around -12db. My overheads are probably even lower than that. However, sometimes a wild hit will clip and sound like ass and the overheads seem...

So am I a total idiot for compressing on the way in? I'll compress the overheads and the kick/snare. I'm talking 6:1, fast attack, medium release, but I set the threshold so that it only compresses the wild hits. My thinking is that I don't want to dick around with trying to "fix" a clipped...

Chill man... those little red chicklets mean squat. There are quite a few people around here that give bad rep just to fuck with people. Just laugh it off. If someone was seriously dogging you, it is obvious that they are insecure about their own intelligence/knowledge. Don't take it too...

Lee... thanks for the visual. Posts like this are why I read this message board.

It really doesn't matter-- I was just curious more than anything. And this seemed like a great opportunity to get other musicians input on whether that chorus sounds OK... hehe. So do you think it sounds OK? :D

Ok, so I think I understand now. Basically, counterpoint is a melody performed on top of another melody?? Let me just cut to the chase and provide examples so we all know what the hell I'm talking about. Here is what I think is an example of counterpoint from one of my songs: Disclaimer...

Well played!! You Nazi!! :D

Yes. You're welcome. :D

Perfect!!! It's starting to feel like the Cave in here already! :D

That would be a valid reply if you had managed to work "nazi" into your response somehow. Please try again. Thank you.

Thanks you miserable Nazis! I'm glad you could take a break from operating your gas chambers to discuss these issues!! Sincerely, The Tone Nazi :D

That's definitely a valid approach. But I could also argue that if you want the sound of that low E string in the chord, then you should finger it. Even though you are playing the same notes, the flavor will be slightly different. If you play the same notes on a guitar in standard tuning versus...

I would use my thumb to fret the A on the low E string and my index finger to bar the rest.

Or is it counter melody? Are they the same thing? I'm a little confused. Check out 'Sample Chorus' at the following link for an example of what I think it is: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=4454&alid=-1 In that sample is one vocal line a "counterpoint" to the other...

I got the closed back 2x12 special with the vintage 30s a couple months ago. I love it. My amp is a Budda Superdrive 2x12 combo and I like having the option of mic'ing the open back combo or the closed back Avatar speaker cabinet-- best of both worlds. :D I really wanted the vin30/G12H30 combo...

I like what Rick said. You can read all that stuff if you want to get a basic understanding of acoustics. Ethan's site is awesome for that. But, as Rick pointed out, there is alot of stuff that is pretty much settled fact as far as a Home Recorders needs go. So you can dive into the bottomless...
