Tightness is subjective, but often will be mainly in your technique. You can also add a lot with lower gain, upping your high mids, using a compressor and a noise gate. I'd probably go Compressor > Gate > Amp > DI or mic'd cab > [if DI, cab impulse] > More specific parametric EQ if needed.

I have myself a Studio Projects B1 that I've put to good use. I just needed something cheap for scratch vocals, but it actually managed to sound better than I thought it would. About 2/3rds the price of those you mention too.

As .nrg is Nero's own file type, it isn't of much use other than inside Nero. Whereas .iso is compatible with pretty much all programmes where a disk image is needed. He also mentions that the .nrg is not actually working to burn his CD at all now, which is why I mentioned that .iso can be used...

I see your Godzilla and raise you Treebeard. I feel other than the obvious lava lamp, everyone needs something quirky like these too. =P

A way that I get a really great sound from my big, crappy dreadnaught style thing is the mic over the shoulder technique. Aimed just about where the neck and soundhole meet. Gets rid of a lot of the boominess and brings out the highs a little more. I've heard a lot of great things done with a...

Could get yourself a DI box, which can turn line level or instrument level into mic level, then just plug into your XLR mic inputs on the interface. You can go as cheap as you need with those things too. I have a cheap £30 thing in case I ever need it.

Well every studio needs a Mike as much as a lava lamp you see, and he needs to be a funny bastard. Makes the long hours of playing about with sound a little more enjoyable than they already are. What? You don't have a Mike? You're missing out my good man.

If all you'll be using is those 2 things, you don't nearly need all that power. A dual core and 4GB of RAM will do you fine. Can get plenty of cheap laptops with that kinda stuff in.

Aye, I just like to get a second ear at times. =] I've only been doing this myself since near the end of last year. Just getting into it seriously now. Had my computer for just over a year ready for it all. Built it especially for recording. =P Before this, I was always on the stage or the one...

Double post. >.<

Thanks. I'll play around with it some more and post more links tomorrow or something. =] You like 002 the way it is? I think both would sound musch better with a higher quality guitar, but I have to make do with this thing for now. =P

Guys sounds like an idiot. =P Yeah, should be fine then. Tell us if it sorts out your problems and whatnot.

I'd choose Studio One over Reason anyday. Never have liked that programme. But there are plenty of other good ones out there. The mastering in Studio One is not something to throw away, assuming you are wanting to master. If you want pro level mastering, it's gonna be down to your skills and...

It's legal to download the software, yes, as long as your serial key is legal. But as you say your version was not a legit copy, that means it was the serial key that wasn't legit. Your OS is fine, you just need a proper serial for it to activate genuine. Though having the actual disk on hand is...

My guitar is an awful cheap thing. I'm more of a bassist and drummer, and I don't even own a kit. ;D Haha. But my limited guitar skills have gotten me to play around and find something a little like these. - Guitar Tests by Somegeezer 002 is the NRR-1 with a mid scooped sound, much like your...

How do you know it isn't a legit version of the OS? There is no difference between ones that are or not, that would give you evidence of that. So I assume he told you himself that was the case? I also see no reason why that would give you any problems when it comes to freezing tracks in Cubase...

What happens when you try to burn using that file? I don't see why it shouldn't, as it is a CD image and I assume you are using Nero to try burn it? I'd stick to ISO in future though, as it's a standard disk image that any programme can use. You can even open it up using 7-zip or mount it to a...

What are your settings in the NRR-1 and what are you using to load your impulses? I have KeFIR which I use most the time, but LeCab seems to be a good one to use too. I've been using the Le456 as my amp sim over the NRR-1 at the mo, as I cannot seem to get a good sound of of the latter. >.<

This is why I went with a firewire Firestudio Project. As it gives me expandability if I need it. USB interfaces seem to have a lot of trouble, mainly in Windows, when trying to use more than one. Whether from the same family or not, or so it seems. Everytime I've sen people with more than one...

I think both of those prices are absolutely terrible. But if you really don't care, and money is really no matter, go for the Mac with Studio One and the firestudio mobile to match. [I'm totally biased with the Presonus stuff, but you also give limited options. =P] I'm guessing you are needing...
