Hey Jimmy, I don't have the tools to cut the wood for the panels. Can they do that at Home Depot? Can you give me an overview of the problems with the room, from a technical standpoint? I know bass traps are a must, but as far as other reflections and where I would put blankets or panels I...

I'm a music major heading into my final year in college. As part of our capstone project, I have to record an album by May 2015. I plan to kill two birds with one stone by using this as the debut album for my band and trying my luck after I graduate. I live in a house off-campus and have a very...

I've been experiencing what I think is a CPU Overload problem with my Pro Tools 10 system. Often times while recording or playing back, I'll hear digital beeps and skips and if it gets bad enough, the session will stop playing or recording and give me an array of error messages along the line of...

So many nice studios…I'm not worthy!

Here's an instrumental rough clip of a song I'm re-recording. Distortion guitars kick in at 1:02. https://soundcloud.com/harrymetzler/not-afraid-arrangement-test My main issues are the lack of clarity, power, and the bassiness of the palm muted sections. I don't want to lose the notes in the...

I've been using Guitar Rig for a couple songs exclusively and while I've had no problems coming up with smooth clean tones getting a good distortion tone for metal/rock has been somewhat difficult. It's real easy to get noisy, bassy, guitar tones but getting a nice crisp modern metal/rock tone...

Hey! Thanks! :D

It seems like it. I guess I should commit to a sound more often than not, but I find myself overdubbing a lot of guitars with different Guitar Rig amps just to see how they affect the whole recording. I usually reamp one or two and then keep at least one or more with the guitar rig settings just...

I tried to mess around with the bass drum briefly (not very intensely) as Rod suggested and it was difficult to get a lot of those boosts to have the same impact as Jimmy's samples. It could just be my own inadequacies as an engineer and mixer but it's a nice alternate option to have. Again...

Thanks, Rod. I never thought of that. I may give that a try just for the heck of it.

I have a pet squirrel named Pedro. He is my muse.

That was awesome!!! You have some bad ass film editing skills, too!

I totally agree. I guess you also have to weigh the importance of each instrument in each particular song and mix. If you're a rock band, then I don't think using a synthesized string quartet versus a real one is going to make a huge deal. A recording of an orchestra that was purely synthesized...

Link All I can say is . . .

In my opinion, Jack White is filling a niche and the increasing ease and popularity of home studios and digital recording has only furthered that niche. Musically, he most definitely isn't a technical player, vocally or guitar wise, but I think it's done on purpose. The guy can play tons of...

I'll check that out. Yeah, I'm not sure how much an iMac can handle track wise. Prior to that I didn't have Guitar Rig so I can't really say the problem came out of nowhere...I had never worked on a song with that many tracks. I checked my CPU meter and it was reading 96%. Is there anyway to...

I might try that, then. I haven't updated to 11 yet...would rather wait for all the bugs to be worked out.

I've been getting this CPU overload/error (-6101 error) for about two months now. It first occurred in May when I got Guitar Rig 5 and Absynth and worked on a new song. I was running quite a few instances of the plugins: 3 or 4 of Guitar Rig, and maybe 10 of Absynth at the most and once...

Dave Grohl, Jack White, Bob Bryar (Rock/Hard rock/grunge, blues/punk, marching/orchestral/alternative rock).

I was watching "It Might Get Loud" on Fuse, a documentary of sorts with Jack White, the Edge, and Jimmy Page, and one thing Jack White said struck me as completely off base, in my opinion. He asserted that "technology is the enemy of creativity." I completely disagree. Decades ago most of us...
