    help hooking up gear properly

    I have been thinking about getting a outboard comp/limiter for my mastering, also an outboard channel strip. I was wondering how to hook this all up to my current set up. How to route all of it together so that I could use these extra little goodies. I am running win7 64bit sonar 8, I have a...

    Looking for advice with mixing metal.

    The mix isn't to bad, but it seems like the guitars are alittle distant, I am assuming you double tracked them? Pan them 75/75. It will make them sound alittle more up front. The vocals, too loud, and have way to much reverb on them. Dry them up a bit, try triple tracking vocals to make them...

    neo-classical shred metal

    I think this mix isn't to bad, maybe lacking alittle depth. Tell me what you guys think, this is a little sample from my bands recordings that I have been working on.

    help with death metal mix

    Same here, I got to the point were I was disturbed by how many shitty recordings I heard from local bands, and didn't wanna be one of them, so I started researching so my band wasn't one of the stereo mic recorded bands that were out here. It is amazing to me how many people think that sounds...

    help with death metal mix

    Things are gonna sound much different in a mix man. It may not sound the way you think it will till you throw a bass, drums, and vocals on it, and it will take a much different life. Guitars normally don't sound the way you think they will, till you add the other necassary parts that make up a...

    help with death metal mix

    I think 002 sounds good, it will sound even better in a mix. 003 has alot of gain and treble in that tone. I would roll back the gain alot, remember gain is your enemy when recording guitars. Roll it off till you like how it sounds, then roll it off alittle more. That's why I like the NRR-1...

    s/pdif help please

    Yeah, that's what I figured, I plan on getting a different interface with 8 channels and adat soon enough. My tascam drivers are crashing the hell out of my win 7 64 bit system now, so I am planning on getting something new.

    help with death metal mix

    My chain goes and settings were as follows, I run the ignite ts-999 with gain at about 9 oclock, volume left alone, and turn up the tone to about two oclock. Then place the nrr-1 in after, I run the lead tone gain at about 2 oclock, bass at around 2 oclock, mids at around 10 oclock, treble at...

    s/pdif help please

    I was actually thinking about plugging it into my laptop to eliminate the desktops desire to use it as the main usb interface. Then the uss800's drivers would be functioning and the ux2 would be powered on and such still.

    s/pdif help please

    I run Sonar 8, pc Win7 64bit of course, yeah my problem was that the line6 does take over as the main soundcard on my pc when both are hooked up. I am not sure if it recognizes both in the daw, but I know that sound isn't going into my us800. Also, no digital in are recognized either, when I...

    s/pdif help please

    So I have been doing some research on s/pdif in/outs. I was wanting to see if you guys may be able to help me figure something out. I have a tascam us800, that has 2 digital ins via s/pdif and I have a line6 ux2 that has 2 pre's and s/pdif out. The dilemma is that both are usb, so when I plug...

    help with death metal mix

    Yeah, everything about that riff is fake lol, the drums are programmed ezdrummer, the bass was di, and the guitars were using all amp sims. Yeah, I just used the NRR-1 by ignite, with I believe I used a mesa os v30 impulse with it. I have heard other samples that sound even more realistic than...

    solo won't sit right?

    So I figured out why I wasn't getting the results I wanted. My levels were crap when I recorded that tapping riff, it was so light that my gate was killing the tone, so I cranked the gain on my interface, and bam, huge difference, much more clarity as well.

    My Sterling by Music Man JP100d review

    So I am wanting to spread the word about this thing. I waited a few weeks to give myself time to get over the initial shock of getting a new ax. Well, nothing has changed. I got the see through black model, it looks great. I will say, when I opened it up, I thought, what is the big deal, it...

    solo won't sit right?

    I will have to say, my mixes are coming along ways from when I really started recording about a year ago or so. If you wanna see what this sight has done for my mixes (not to be a soul soliciting dick hole or anything), my bands reverbnation is a good example of how far I have come, Our Burden...

    solo won't sit right?

    Lol, yeah when I cross referenced it through my laptop speakers, the lead riff falls to shit. I think I will pull the effects out, and start from scratch, the delay I use was a tad to much. And yeah, I noticed that the volume of the lead riff does fade away when not listening to it through 8...
