    Active vs passive guitar pickups....

    Good question, I have experience recording about every kind of pickup you can think of, matter of fact I have a guitar set up with emg's, a john petrucci sig. model with dimarzio's, a strat with single coils, and a 7 string with actives in it all sitting in my studio right now. I had a esp...

    Peavey 3120 Line out tracking

    You can get a great result recording di through a preamp too, it just takes experience, I do it all the time. I use my Bugera 6262 Infinium preamp out, into a ART tube pre into my interface. I use sonar, so I use perfect space (the built in Convolution Reverb loader in sonar) to load my...

    Peavey 3120 Line out tracking

    Actually, just download Poulin LeCab v1 because there are internal IR's, but once you get an understanding of what an ir is used for, you will be looking for more, I promise.

    Peavey 3120 Line out tracking

    Easy solution bud, like the previously mentioned, always, always, always, have a load on the head when running the preamp out. By load I mean have your cab hooked up as well. Now to business, you need to load an Impulse Response as an effect in your guitars channel strip in your DAW. Google...

    Favorite piece of gear?

    I just made a few new upgrades to my home studio. I was just kinda curious as to what individual piece of gear do you guys feel you just couldn't live without? I am a big fan of my Sennheiser hd280 cans, absolutely marvelous.

    Give me your opinions on some new gear I just purchased.

    I love them, just got them today, played with all my new gear for about two hours. Unfortunately didn't get to play with the Akai because it arrived defective. But as for the ART pre, it is awesome and the hd280 cans are awesome, much more detailed than my akg's. They have alot of definition...

    Give me your opinions on some new gear I just purchased.

    Interesting, I am not really a keyboard player, yet lol. I just picked it up to make life alittle easier in sonar. I wanted it for vsti control more than anything. I haven't had a drum pad controller or midi keyboard before, so I figured that the Akai would be a good start. I have heard that...

    Give me your opinions on some new gear I just purchased.

    I just wanted to know what everybody thought of this gear, don't have it yet, and can always send it back lol. I heard that the akai is an excellent controller, but really needs the pads upgraded. As for the mic pre, I plan on using a MXL 990 condensor with it for vocals until I get a Shure...

    Give me your opinions on some new gear I just purchased.

    So I am adding to my studio a few new pieces of gear. I just purchased an Akai MPK49 midi controller, Sennheiser HD280 headphones, and an ART MP V3 mic pre. If you guys have used any of this gear chime in on this. I wanna know what you all think.

    guitar recording for metal

    You think that the guitars aren't lacking depth? I guess I am my own worst critic. I just feel it isn't as full as I think it should be. I don't know how to describe it, maybe it is something to do with the bass and or drums lacking and not the guitars at all.

    guitar recording for metal

    I do some mixing in superior drummer, and I normally put alittle on in a mixing bus as well. The drums sound pretty good for the most part, but the guitars are what I feel always seem like they are lacking.

    guitar recording for metal

    Yeah, the uber pedal is all that I use, other than a ns-2. I also think that my guitars get muddy in the mix because of the drums sometimes too. I do alot of programming drums with superior drummer, I don't really have much experience with mixing the drums, so I just do my best, the drums...

    guitar recording for metal

    Maybe I am using to much gain, I got it turned down to four on my 6262 head, with a line 6 uber metal pedal for a little boost. Do you guys think I should turn it down alittle? This amp is still pretty gainy at 4, maybe I should. As for the panning, so I should take say the lead guitar and...

    Post Hardcore song using amp sims, sd2.0

    I will tell ya, I haven't had any luck mic'ing up a cab, I have a senneheiser e609, and an sm57 but I haven't ever gotten decent sounding results, so I resort to amp sims. Then again, I haven't really been able to crank my amp, don't have time to really mess with it, etc. etc.

    drum recording help?

    Yeah, I am in the same boat. I am sure I don't have nearly as much invested, but I do have enough to get a decent sound. I will keep working on getting a good drum sound, but till I master it, I think that ssd trigger is probably gonna become a good friend of mine lol. I may try to work on...
