That reminds me, I totally need to put towards a nice rackmount tuner. They look great on stage. =P At the mo, I use a cheap Korg with 2*AAA batteries. Fine for tuning and changing tunings and whatnot, but not nearly as pretty when just hanging off my amp by the cable. =P

Probably wouldn't be interested. Especially if it is along the lines of Led Zeppelin. More into Metal, Jazz and Electronic music.

I'd use the EQ on the amp sim, then if you need more precise EQ, put it after everything. Just as you would if recording a real amp.

You could do with giving some extra info, like what kinda music you'd be interested in making and such. Might get you some more interest.

Everything said there, quoted to double the opinion.

Ha, just seen your rep you sent. Thanks. =] Everyone could do with a Treebeard in their studio. ^_^

Haha cheers Jimmy. Hopefully be even better when finished with mixing. I'm sure he'll do wonders on those vocals of mine. =P Really quite happy with my bass on the track though. Sometimes just playing about with riffs lets you come up with some great ideas you wouldn't have otherwise found...

Next thing I really want, would be a new bass. But that's gonna take me down a good £3000 at least. I think what I'll probably go for are some monitors and a new desk. Possibly build my own desk to save some pennies. As well as be able to get exactly what I want out of it. I have a lot of stuff...

I've been to gigs where amp sims are even used live. You really can't tell. They really are that good... Some of them.

This is a rough mixdown just after recording the raw vocal track to a song I've been doing with a friend. My first time being up front on vocals, and some usual bass playing, that I do on a good number of projects with him. Everything else is his doing. But i figured it'd be cool to share. He's...

Steven Wilson. Produces a lot of his own stuff. Even produced a lot of Opeth's albums. and I'm sure eventually... THE WORLD! Mwuhahahahahaaaaaa! *cough*

Same here. Coming from performance mainly. So not just the mixing that is new to me, but also all the writing. Good theoretical knowledge, but not a lot of experience with putting that into practise yet.

It happens for a number of reasons. It's just a general light to say "I'm not working right, fix me". This is quite an old thread you brought up anyways. This particular one was solved by getting a new one sent out.

I've put more money into mine, and you still have a better recording set up. It's not about the money, but how you use the gear you have. I don't even have a set of monitors. One of the most important pieces of gear to record with.

All drives have limited "writes". Don't worry about it. Your entire computer will most likely be old news before any SSD got to that point. Even mechanical drives can last up to 10 years or more. As for your other question, yes the programmes should go into the OS drive, whilst the sample...

That kinda stuff is more for if you have really important data that you cannot do without. If your data is worth that kinda money, go for it. Otherwise DIY with open-source software.

I think the hardest part is recording all the impulses. Though if you know anything of the new Kemper Profiling amp, I think we'll begin to find a lot of great amp and cab impulses to load into it from the whole community that will begin using them. If I had the money, I'd get myself one.

Having RAM left unused is great for futureproofing a computer. The only reason I bumped my machine up to 8GB from 4GB. It's never a good thing to completely fill your RAM. Once you're at the end, there's nowhere else to go. So you have a little extra as headroom, for the just in case. As soon as...

"When all else fails, just hit it with a hammer."

It's generally just plug n play. Though you will still need drivers and such for the new hardware if you use it as the OS drive. Any storage drives should be fine without any extras needing to be done though.
