Thanks Dog!! I record to pc using an ADAT as a digital converter and mix analog to a Studiomaster 16 channel analog mixer back to the pc. I use Samplitude software which has multiband compression, which wasn't applied to this mix, but I'll probably try it this weekend (I'm a little gun shy...

I set up a personal myspace site not knowing that I had to set up a myspacemusic site in order to post my stuff. So I copied the html from the old one, deleted it, and created a new one. Where do I put the html for the background of the page, which was originally put in the "About Me" section...

Digitech makes pretty decent modelers.

While listening to music while working doesn't necessarily steal time from the boss, in cases where you are sharing bandwith with other workers, you are stealing resources. It doesn't matter much if the IT department doesn't have an internet policy, but if they do, then you have no recourse...

I'm going to pick it up in a few weeks, suck or no. How is Danny's drum sound on this? He seems to have a different sound with every album. More thwack on Undertow, deeper on Aenima, and kinda weird on Lateralus.

Don't play much acoustic, and most of my electric playing is through distortion (where if I do squeek, which is rare, it sounds cool). I tend to squeek a bit when doing barres on acoustic, in that case I just lick my fingers.

You may be right as far as 24 bit recording. I think a lot of my research was from when 24 bit was still kinda new. I've been using an ADAT XT as a digital interface into a pc, at 24 bit, and still got decent results, but they may not necessarily be the best (neither are my ears, which are more...

I've been doing it this way since I read this article from sjoko2, an engineer who used to frequent this board. I've also come across similar recommendations in my software manuals and TapeOp: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=25786&highlight=calibrate On tracking: Mixing To...

Exactly. 95% is in the tracking. And it's clean tracking too, where you don't apply compression, eq, or anything that doesn't contribute to the tone of the instrument. When tracking, you want to get as close to zero as possible without clipping. On average, this means for most music, the peak...

I did too. Duncanville. I hear that its no longer a dry town now.

Big congrats to you Jamal. It must've driven you crazy waiting for this product to come out. I too dig the album cover and I checked out the myspace site. Once my cash flow eases up I am going to purchase one of your cds. So one of the $1.50's you'll get is from me. :) Also, if there is any...

I never understand why people critique lyrics in the songwriting forum. You can't really provide any useful opinion without hearing the music behind it. What may appear completely stupid in a post may be brilliant in the music it's written in.

Those people are unflushable turds. A good half of the music of the fifties and sixties was recorded on equipment that doesn't hold a candle to what these people call "suck". It's all about the writing and the performance of songs. People who say it's the equipment typically produce music that's...

Yes I'm sure. The song is about how much I hate my office job and I am screaming the word "Fuck" in the chorus over eight bars. If I can do it just right, in the studio, then I don't care if I temporarily lose my vocals (heeding Tim's warnings and not pushing myself too far). I doubt I will ever...

Gillan did some GREAT screaming in "Disturbing the Priest" during his short stint with Sabbath on "Born Again". David Lee Roth did it well too, but a little too melodic than what I'm going for.

Excellent advice guys! Thanks!! I'm going to practice the placement in the upper pallette in the commute to and from work (where I usually practice vocals). I think I know that area you are referring to Tim. I've kinda noticed that I come closer to the effect I want to produce by directing the...

The big players that are worth mentioning regardless- Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest, old Metallica (through Master of Puppets), Motorhead. Lesser knowns: Bathory, Venom, Stuck Mojo, Solace, Prong, GZR, Exodus, Suicidal Tendencies, Kyuss, Helmet

Only BOC can get a scream that sounds like a cowbell :D Actually, what I've noticed about these screams was that they were recorded to where you can only hear that high-end static. That's what I want to be able to accomplish. It's something I will probably never perform live, but the rest of...

Don't know about the other instruments, but you are most definately miking the guitar cab too far away. Try positioning the mike about an inch away from the edge of the amp, and point the mike inward to about an edge from the speaker.
