    The New Tone Thread

    With Gerg away, someone's gotta keep up the stooges riffs, so I'll step up: Someone on another forum recommended the AKG D1000E dynamic microphone is being good for distorted guitar and I reflexively went to ebay and ordered one (for like $30). This clip is a SG Supreme with 57 classics...

    Sweet Jesus

    I had a good time listening. I guess you've got the vocals where you want them - I've been doing a lot of very forward vocal mixes recently and so at first it bugged me (and I can't understand a lot of the words, but so what), but after a while it grew on me. I concur about the snare - it's...

    Waves Sales through Nov 30 - H-Reverb too!

    I took the final plunge to Mercury - the upgrade price wasn't too bad after a couple of years of bottom feeding on their weekly sales. At least now I can unsubscribe from their mailing list.

    Waves Sales through Nov 30 - H-Reverb too!

    Yeah to be fair (and I should have been fair in my first post) I'm using a 2008 macbook pro. Definitely the weakest link in my studio chain these days. I'm having a hard time with many newer native plugins, not just H-Reverb. It does appear to use more CPU than some other reverbs I use such as...

    I have a fake Gibson acoustic guitar. I bought it for 100 bucks at a pawn shop who knew it was fake. It has real Grover tuners so I figured I would take the chance. Turned out to be pretty OK. I left it at my mom's house but I'll post pics when I get back out there.

    Waves Sales through Nov 30 - H-Reverb too!

    I felt dumb that I missed the intro price for h-reverb because I waited too long to demo it to see if I wanted it. So I pounced when it went on sale (also via audiodeluxe) but now I'm realizing I don't have the CPU power to really use it :( - I guess it's time for a new computer :)

    annual licenses

    I won't go near an iLok - too many horror stories and also a nice arbitrary line for me to draw that keeps me from blowing my (entire) retirement savings on plugins. When I think of having iLok issues that prevent me from using something that I'm paying for on a time basis my blood pressure...

    Best Microphone for a 20x22 kick drum?

    I got a D112 (not mkii) new and pretty cheap from sweetwater a month or two ago. I thought it was 99 bucks but I may be remembering wrong. I see them for 140 on Amazon now. They used to cost 200 I think. I've never had any kind of d12 but I do like the d112 a lot

    Technics digital piano

    wow gecko - yours looks very similar to mine - yours is probably newer. Have you ever taken apart the keyboard part to clean it and stuff? I'd like to do that just for good measure, but at the same time, I'm a little worried I'd break something.

    Technics digital piano

    Just picked up this bad boy at the local Salvation Army: It's a Technics SX-PX-55M. I think all Technics keyboards went out of production 10 years ago, and this could easily be 20 years old. If it breaks, I'm screwed. But... It all works! All the keys, all the other buttons, the speakers...

    Noise Problem with PreSonus TubePre

    I just got a used Presonus ADL 600 - love it - they do know how to build a tube preamp. But I also have a TubePre - can't really use it for much.

    pipes

    thanks guys! He will tell you that he has improved a lot in the last 5 years, but I think it sounds good too. I just updated the MP3 using a different reverb approach - I think it sounds a little better. And an eq cut in the 2-3k region to make it less punishing. Even though it's totally...

    Old 80s' Tune "Ah! Leah!" - Struggling with bass sound

    maybe highpass the guitars some. Also a compressor on the bass? But sounds great!

    Final mix check - Thank You

    I like it - great performance. Everything I like about the jam band sound and nothing I don't. The vocals and everything really seems like it's missing some air level high end, and so sounds a little muffled to me, but that might be because I just burned out my inner ears with some bagpipe...

    pipes

    it's been too long since we've had highland bagpipes here and I'm afraid you're all turning into softies. So: This is my son - I guess 5 years ago. I just ran it through some outboard equipment and put some reverb on it.

    Marshall JCM800 2204S ???

    Really nice looking - about the board, if it ever actually becomes a problem you'll know - it's not subtle. You get volume dropouts or even complete silence. The repair is simple but I would get a good tech to do it anyway - basically reflow the cracked solder joints and reposition the board...
