Let me put it this way: If you record through modelling digital algorithms, you can never bring the track back to what it was. Record clean through quality gear and you will not be sorry next year when that supertoy doesn't seem so hot anymore, and you have to re-record everything.

I'd like to add something we should never forget. Not long ago, people thought the Earth was flat, and the sun moved around it. Theories widely acclaimed by experts and scientists gets ripped up all the time. The subjects in this thread has not been solidly proven, but not either 100% proven...

I almost always track with light compression when doing vocals or bass, just to even it out a bit and catching any peaks that could occur. Usually the bass gets some more compression in the mix, while the vocals are normally fine as is. Distorted guitars never gets compressed ever, and drums...

My opinion is that with such a setup, you don't have anything worth keeping. Sorry. Buy better gear and you will thank yourself later.

Is it supposed to be some breaking news that material that don't compression shouldn't be compressed? Wow.. never thought of that.

Although I would generally agree, not all tubegear has a good tubesound, and also, it don't have to have a tube sound at all. Having tubes in a unit don't guarantee nothing. You could in fact have a digital unit built by tubes. They would be big and warm, but not sound big and warm.

I wanted to vote Def Leppard, but Bon Jovi is my choice from the list.

Black Sabbath of course. They invented Metal at a time when everyone else were celebrating the summer of love and walking around with flowers in their hair. 1969 guys. I do like Master of Puppets though, a solid metal album, after that is has all been downhill.

The VC1Q has transformer, VC1Qcs has IC as you already mentioned. They sound a bit different, both sounds very good.

Acoustic drums here, Pearl kick/toms + Zildjian A-Custom hi-hat/cymbals and Ludwig 1960 snare, although I do use my Roland R8 in the songwriting process. Sometimes use a trigger to replace the acoustic kick with sounds from either the R8, Alesis D4 or Roland JV1080.

Sorry, I accidentally posted a thread in the wrong area, should not have been in drums. Didn't find a way to delete it, so I altered the text to "wrong post" and started my thread where it belonged.

wrong post

I hope this isn't seen as shameless promoting, but since the question was asked, I think it's ok to answer it? Anyway, me and a producer friend of mine has started a webshop together where we sell Pro Audio gear. Check it out at: http://www.recordista.com We can deliver throughout Europe...

You're partner Chris gets the good out of this mess.

No. "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen the message do at least 10 characters." Done.

The Digitech Metal Master (among many digitechs pedals) does have cabinet simulation, and has two outputs cleverly named "amp" and "mixer".

You also forgot 1 track. This poll is föcked up from the beginning.

If you trade in your SM7 for a NT1000 and do not later regret it, you should trade in the NT1000 for new monitors.

I have a NT4 but I have never recorded acoustic guitar with it yet, so I don't know how it performances on that source. Great (and fast) stereo imaging though.
