    Underrated: Lindsey Buckingham

    Yep. His nylon version of "House On The Hill" is simply incredible. Now, I guess some people on this forum may not think it's good because he used delay. :rolleyes:

    Last.FM

    I reccomend Pandora.com . I met the owner of that site a while back, and he was super cool. It is a great site if you like Last.FM

    Is it wrong to like The Edge?

    Everyone would do it if that was the case. Hey, I thought the same way way when I was younger too. There is a lot more to it then the way you are oversimplifying it.

    You said play, I said write..huge difference.

    Is it wrong to like The Edge?

    So you are saying your little brother is writing parts on par with the Edge? I seriously doubt this. Original is one thing..GREAT is another. I am not a massive Edge fan, but he writes great parts.

    Underrated: J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.)

    That solo in "Feel the Pain" is so awesome. It's leads like that that you will never forget. I got the new remasters of the Dino Jr, and I'm loving them.

    Is it wrong to like The Edge?

    Fuckin A exactly. The guitarists who care so much about technique are usually boring as hell. I'd rather hear a simple part that is creative and cool then some wank fest. I have played with so many tech gtr guys that can't write worth a damn. To me, they are useless unless I want to form an...

    FS: Brand new RNC

    Brand new RNC I bought less then a week ago. Tracked vocals with it lightly. I have the box, instructions and power supply all there. I want 140 plus shipping (guessing around 10-15 at most). Paypal accepted.

    Firepod owners discussion thread!

    outs are used for your monitors..balanced cables are what connect your monitors to your firepod. I reccomend using the main 1 and 2 outs.

    What external HD are you using?

    since i use mine for backup only, i got a WD 200 gig in USB 2.0. It is a great backup device for me, and i spent under $140.

    Firepod owners discussion thread!

    also, I run the firebox through Bx5s too..that's my setup. It is very nice, but the Bx5s will fool you a bit. They make the vocal always sound a bit louder then it is. Basicly all the highs, so adjust by a db or 2 in the mix and you will be fine. I still like the Bx5s just fine now that I have...

    yep, the TI chip is a must.

    Firepod owners discussion thread!

    i do..I love this thing. I only need 2 inputs, so for me, it is ideal. The Pres are far superior to the Mbox. You just have to have a very good firewire interface (TI w/ no PCI bus cards except a low priority graphics card), or you will get clicks and pops. On my gigabyte motherboard, the...

    Some Help with compression.

    the first post made it sound like he was using a multiband compressor....dude, don't even mess w/ that until you can use a regular one with ease. a lo of people start busting out rules..especially w/ drums..don't assume that your attack should be set low..a lot of time it will take the "crack"...

    I haven't been using compression enough.

    The drums should be one unit of course. The trick is to take that gated snare and mix it back in so that the drums still sound like one unit. If you just micd up a kit and got levels set, then mixed the rest of the instruments and vocals in, the kit would sound like crap. So you have to mix it...

    How much GR do you use on vox

    even though I track in 24 bit, -6 is always my peak. It is a consistent thing w/ me, and it keeps random peaks from popping up over 0. If you are tracking, and it hits over 0, then your take is screwed.

    How much GR do you use on vox

    uhmm..i have never once gone by db..i always go by my ears..the vocal has to sound level and every syllable must be clear. not too loud or too soft....the only thing i do is find the loud waveforms, and when i draw automate them, i draw the line to go under the wav, and come back up with it, so...

    I haven't been using compression enough.

    yeah..i should have put that i vary between 2-6:1. It obviously matters what the song needs. 6:1 can be a little SOUNDING in certain mixes..but as a number..no it's not a little for sure. I don't have a set number..in fact, every single song has a different ratio/thresh/attack/release...but I...

    I haven't been using compression enough.

    I love compression on vocals, drums, bass and light on guitar. For vox it is a must for me. It brings out their breathing, and the subtleties of their voice. I don't squash the crap out of vox, but I used to when I didn't know better. Now I go about 6:1 ratio with a thresh of 15 on average. But...
