:) I will for sure. Little things like this stress me out to all hell, and I try and research every angle. I also stress because i am going to start reamping vocals and snares..synths..etc thorugh my guitar amp. I really like how this sounds under main tracks..This is somewhat of a different...

It's just funny how fast some people are to throw out the n00b comments, when I clearly stated in my second post that I knew I had to fine tune by ear. I am just looking for different people's techniques. This thread is definitley helping me out thoug.

"2. figure out how much of a delay there is between the amp and the DI track and put a delay inline and delay the DI track so it matches." How do you do this? That is always a nice option too. I use my ears when I do music BTW. I just haven't really encountered this issue before, and I want to...

True Wade...I know pros who still flip put over phasing and think they hear it in mixes...i know an engineer who won't do what I am doing because of the phase issues. But I read about people who split a signal to an amp all the time and it works just fine. For example, The Strokes vocals...

So what you are saying is that if I got a clean transient on each track it still wouldn't matter? So the only solution is to slide the amp track round until it sounds best.......there has to be a better way.

honestly, if it was that simple, I would not have made this post.. :) , it's not that easy to see where the amped track starts.

you do...and you don't. Basically, Ford saying how the waveforms are completely different is showing me he knows this issue. I have aligned tracks to sart at zero many times...but in this case, you do not get a clear starting point on the amp track..the more you zoom in, the more little tiny...

this is a great point...its tough though because your mind will play tricks on you and everything sounds "phasey".

This is where my issue is. I'm not even in the ballpark yet for using my ears to get it just right. I zoom in really close, but you have to understand that the transients on an amp track are not the same looking as the ones on the DI. So once you get in close, it is about impossible to see...

yeah..thats where I'm at. I know the delay is there and I have to line it up and then finetune by ear. What im saying is the transients don't spike the same way when you look at them in the DAW. The wavforms are not similar, so I can not tell the true starting point of the transient. So I...

I have a Tech 21 sansamp. I plug my bass into it. I then take 2 cables..one is the direct out from the DI. I put that into my Firebox. The other cable goes out of my parallel out jack on the tech21. I send that into my guitar pedal board and distort it a hair with the TS9. From there it goes...

apreciated. Im going to do a few things tonight on the remix just to bring up the background parts.

Thanks, I don't know who that is, so i'm gonna check them out!

myspace.com/triadcolorscheme See what you think. I just finished the mix last night.

you don't have to record loud with a tube amp to get a nice tone. You crank a tube amp only if you want it to sound broken up, which is not always the sound you really are going for. First off, when you mic a tube amp at a regular volume correctly you will always get a more 3d image then...

i have never heard a great distorted guitar that was not amped. I am from the school of the 1x12 tube amp miced with a 57 also. In my case I use an Audix I5, which is a better 57. I hav guitar rig, and it I actually just replicated the guitar rig setup with the real deal (pedals and amp) and...

yep these are clean. Memoryman laden, but clean guitars :D

Yeah, I just talked with a friend of mine who engineers a lot of records. He has one on billboard top 25 right now which is cool. Anyway, he said that peaking at -3 is not too hot. The only thing to watch out for is to give yourself headroom for your plugins. Im usually peaking at -3 on...

Im usually peaking at -3db in Cubase for guitars and vocals in a 24 bit environment. -6 is fine really, in 24 bit world you can push it a little, which is why I usually peak at -3. So you are saying to strum a chord and then adjust your preamp gain so the chord rings out at around -18?

I agree with "decent". No doubt about it.
