    Worst commercial mix you've ever heard? MIX CRIMES

    wow, I think of Unforgettable Fire as one of the best sounding recordings of all time. I think what Eno and Lanois do is just a beautiful thing. It's nice to hear something that doesnt sound like every other thing out there. To me, as soon as I saw this thread title, I thought of Metallica's...

    A heretical question about amp modelers

    Re: Re: Re: *sigh* another deficient newbie... wow, you have one link to a COVER song which doesnt work. You may or may not be a production genius(cant here to tell) but as far as marketing goes you definitely have "suck" sound. I can hear you now: fan: "Where can I get your latest all...

    Behringer V-Amp or Digitech Genesis 3 GeNetX

    That's the thing that keeps killing me in this debate. It's like saying a Fender is always gonna be better than a ESP. A pepperoni pizza is always gonna be better than a cheese. An action movie is always gonna be better than a comedy. It's nothing more than opinion and personal taste. It is...

    Behringer V-Amp or Digitech Genesis 3 GeNetX

    actually, I think you missed the point of my post. I said they sounded like 'real' amps for all that it matters... which is not much, as my next line pointed out - that most listeners of music could care less about how the music is created, as long as it's good. "And as far as not sounding...

    Behringer V-Amp or Digitech Genesis 3 GeNetX

    a great big Huh? how are amp simulators gonna make us all sound the same? With an amp sim you get multiple amps, effects, reverbs, etc. With a 'real' amp you get one sound. Yet, the amp sim is gonna make us all the same? huh? and amp sims are taking away the fun of real amps? The fun of...

    Everyone: what do YOU use Cakewalk/Sonar to do??

    Re: Ok, this is the kind of "problem" I was talking about I dont' think you win anything by going that way. I do click in my notes in the Piano Roll View, exactly like data. Just like I write sheet music just like data. In fact, data is just as good a way to describe musical notes as any...

    Hello People!

    I've been using an SBLive for a while now with CEP2 and now Sonar 1 and to tell you the truth, I've yet to find anyone's recordings in the mix section that sound noticeably better than my sblive stuff. I'm doing stuff with 20 tracks of instruments and have amazingly cool(and free) synth and...

    Splitting and Pasting Wav File Problem

    I'll try the re-install... I just thought it might be some odd function that I accidentally turned on. Thanks for the patience and help!

    Splitting and Pasting Wav File Problem

    And it splits it at the start point, but then adds blank space for about a bar to 2 bars after the split. So, if I'm trying to remove space from the beginning of a way, it doesn't work, because it's deleting information I desire. That's the big problem. And to make it worse, it only happens...

    Splitting and Pasting Wav File Problem

    Doh, should've said that I'm using Sonar 1.0. I'm not sure if I'm using snap to grid, can't find that adjustment anywhere and don't know about the move by or move to settings... I do know that it's only an occasional thing when this occurs, and I've (by my lack of knowing which setting is...

    Splitting and Pasting Wav File Problem

    Yep, it's a newbie popping up cuz he's got a problem. I have searched every way I could imagine to and haven't found any similar threads, so now I ask of you: Why is it that sometimes when I split wav files in Cakewalk 1, it sometimes creates a 1 to 2 bar gap after the point I cut the file. I...

    Double Tracks or Duplicate?

    I like to go the AC/DC route and double track. I usually do one side panned -70% with a humbucker guitar and heavy distortion, then I do the other side panned 70% with a telecaster using light overdrive. When I get it tight enough it sounds like one huge guitar where you can actually hear the...

    Behringer V-Amp or Digitech Genesis 3 GeNetX

    a logical conclusion ok... if modelling is sooooooo bad, then I guess that you guys who are so anti-modeling don't use fake reverb or compression or chorus or distortion or anything else to screw with the purity of your signal. It's the perfect guitar into the perfect amp into the perfect mic...

    Behringer V-Amp or Digitech Genesis 3 GeNetX

    the v-amp all the way. The v-amp is noisy and buzzy... which amazingly enough is what most amps sound like when turned up. Wow, that's a crazy idea. But it was able to give me the tone in my head, which the pod was unable to accomplish. The v-amp has a good user group and Behringer has been...

    I don't like the POD Pro!

    I've been wondering for a while: Do people who dont like Amp emulators like the POD/V-Amp/etc record at night at home like I do? Since this is Homerecording dot com, I would assume home recording, not studio, would be a big priority. Now, if you don't like the artificialness of amp simulators...

    Using the V-amp for recording

    I use a V-Amp(version1) for recording along with a Crate amp that I've had for years. For the V-Amp, I go directly from the Line Out's on the top into my soundcard(an SB Live). Pretty low tech. I do use the midi features to fine tune some of the settings, mainly the delays and echos, which...

    When your trying to get a tone, how do you do it?

    people discuss getting their own tones and styles and then rush out and buy the exact same gear as their heroes?!?!?! And we wont even talk about the primary reason I see guys buying PODs: to sounds as close to their heroes as possible, by downloading a file for their little red bean. As far...

    Don't buy a POD!

    the Pod Pro in action! I just found out that the newest release by Canada's Annihilator was done with pod pro in a home recording format. All the guitars are pod pro and they sound extremely cool, a nice fuzztone on top of the standard metal crunch. I was curious to see how he got the sound...
