    Can you use a home theater reciever as an amp?

    Yes, you might want to use unamp'd ones though as you might overdrive monitors using two amps. To hook a receiver up to a mixer, just use a stereo RCA cable from the tape outs on the mixer (if it has them) to one of the inputs on your receiver. I know Mackies have the RCA tape outs, which make...

    CMiller's 1st contribution

    C: Great, another cheesehead :) I gave your song a listen and it's good. I like the guitar especially. The vocals are excellent; your voice works well for the song and the lyrics fit the mood of the song. Nice job. Well, I'm fixin' to go watch the Packers and actually pull for them. The...

    Recording Software

    You should download demos of any that interest you. That's what I did in my search and I ended up settling with Vegas. There's no MIDI, it's basically a pure multitracker, but you can sequence video and convert to all sorts of file formats within the SW. Also, there are no proprietary audio...

    S2K-Some setup advice?

    Thanx to both of you for the advice. I just happened to have a copy of NT4 up at work that may have to....ahem...accidently fall into my back pack on my way out the door one day. I'm getting a vision.....I see a hard drive in my near future; something I've been putting off. But it seems that...

    X-Man movie submit??? What do you guys think?

    Ed, The band sounds kinda like early Descendents. The mix jams. Very clean and loud unlike a lot of mine where if you listened real close, you can probably hear my dog farting in the background. I also wish I knew a reliable, talented drummer(oxymoron?) around here, so I wouldn't waste so...

    kind inspiration

    Thanks for giving me your thoughts. drstawl: I'm gonna work on adding in a bridge based on your suggestion, it would break up the monotony somewhat. S8-N: I remixed and reposted after reading your suggestion. I beefed up the guitar somewhat and re-eq'd it. That took care of a lot of the...

    kind inspiration

    This here funky nugget is something I've been working on this weekend. I've gotta tell ya, funk bass is some hard stuff to mix. Not to mention play. I'd like your comments on how it sounds. It started out muddy as all hell, but after mixing and re-mixing, I think I achieved some resemblance...

    Best amp for heavy distortion

    Man, Boogies are sooo much better than Marsha..........just kidding. They both have their strong points, I have one of each so it's the best of both worlds. However, I personally wouldn't get a valvestate. A tube preamp basically does nothing for achieving great tone or saturation. True...

    Ed plays the guitar!!!

    crazyhorse: Most of your guitar tone is dependent upon the equipment you record with....guitar, pickup(s), amp, and mic. Multiple tracks of the same part will definitely give you a larger sound, but if your equipment is crap, the result will just be a larger version of a crappy sound...

    I'm no expert but I play one on the Internet and how you do it is how I do it. Seems to sound good to me. I like to feel the kick as much as hear it. dmc

    Samples samples samples

    S2K: You may have already seen this site as it is one of the first ones to come up in a yahoo search for drum samples, but I have been pretty satisfied with using their samples in Fruity Loops. Especially for the price.....free. http://hem.passagen.se/lej97/kalava dmc

    37.5 sings (screams?)

    37.5: I checked out your song and it's pretty damn good. I like your voice; it has a Gene Simmons quality to it. The mix is very good. The bass and drums are really tight and, combined with the rythym guitar, drive the song along well. Personal preference: I might have a tad more volume on...
