    mixing outside the box?

    what he said. I use the interface outputs for sub groups in the DAW. But i am using a mackie 1620 vlz analog board. So I only use the mackie for summing the sub mixes from the daw. The reason? I mainly do this for monitoring and using out board compressors on the sub mixes. I do not use...

    recording source effects vs adding after in the mix

    As a guitar player that uses delay, I would have to say it all depends on how you are using the delay. If your just playing lead licks and want a 100ms delay then I don't think it matters. If you have some real mojo on the pedalboard like a good analog delay or better yet a tape delay there...

    Accoustic Recording - Direct line vs. mic Opinions.

    Like others have said, its still a paint and canvas situation. The direct method tends to be mostly attack. So, if your mic is providing the best overall sound of the guitar, a little blend of the direct could bring out the pick attack of the strings. But the type of music or sound your after...

    how to record bass boom?

    If your trying to get low end from a bass guitar. I would say use a bass guitar with active electronics and a good bass amp or pre amp. Ampeg does this well. For just a sonic boom for recording there has to be a vst intrument with patch. To reproduce it live you would have to use some sort...

    DAV BG1U hum using the DI

    Have an electrician check for a ground going to recepticals in your bad room. If the breaker panel is labled he should be able to trace that particular power cord and see if it is grounded on that end. IF that looks good I would check at each reciptical. I have a phrase I put together of...

    small cheap amp...what to get

    I got the fender Champion 600 new at GC when they were on sale for $99.00. I upgraded the tone caps, tubes and speaker. Great sounding amp. Put a tube screameresk in front of it. I got it for the cleans. I tried the ephi, vox, and the beri and the fender blowed them out the water for the...

    pros cons onyx vs toft atb. suggestions

    The Toft doesn't offer the digital Interface like the mackie. That is a big factor . If you all readay have a 16 channel inteface then the digital I/O doesn't matter.

    pros cons onyx vs toft atb. suggestions

    The toft is going to have mojo (better sound characteristics). I'm sure the eq will be miles better than the mackie. If I had the money It would be a no brainer to choose the Toft. The mackie would be great for what it is (price in mind). You could get great results. I use a old VLZ mackie...

    Small amp recording

    I personally wouldn't piss money away on that marshall, unless you know for sure that is the sound your after. I would rather mic a jcm %$# half stack than that mg whatever. There are several valve amps in the low watt range to consider. One that comes to mind is the orange Tiny Terror.

    Guitar amp and condenser mic - how to

    I would like to chime in and say I always hated a condenser on an amp unless the room sounded good. I found a great place in my new house. My stairway has a turn in it going up-stairs. It is perfect, the celing is 20' above and the steps to me seem to act like diffusers. I put a AT3050...

    Interface of choice??

    I want to plug the RME stuff. I own the multiface II pci. It is the best piece I have ever owned. It's very stable. It is expandable either by the adat I/O or adding another unit pci. I would consider it to be middle of the road. If I remember right it was around a 1000. In the past I have...

    Lively Recordings

    There is no write answer to that. If there is no bass to cut then why cut it? I would try the MP3 clinic. YOu will get some more directional help.

    Lively Recordings

    this would be a start. If your solo'ed guitar track sounds like garbage, it will not morph into something magical. Make sure your leaving some head room as far as level and compression goes.
