My room is not treated, but I've read enough on here to tell you to start with bass traps in the corners. I'll let the others build on it from there. :)

I have a Behringer Eurorack Pro RX1602 mixer that I'm thinking about using to run two sets of powered studio monitors through. I'd like to be able to A/B them while mixing and I think it will be easier to do through the mixer. I also don't want to "eat up" another set of outputs on my...

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure there's a use for this channel strip that I haven't found yet. I guess I'm just a little disappointed that it didn't work out right away. I went back to the inputs on my US-1800 for recording at this point (since I'm not doing vocals).

Thanks for all of the responses everyone. I tweaked the acoustic, bass frequencies and volume controls on the BX8's and they sound a lot better now. I'm going to try and figure out how to build some monitor stands so I can keep them incorporated into the studio (since they are taking up a lot...

I personally think an accent while singing makes the performance and your voice more personal. I guess what I was trying to say is don't try to hide it too much, that's what makes it sound like you're trying to "match" the original vocal. I liked it better when you sing naturally (from the 2...

I like the new bass sound. It's prominent in the mix now.

Hmmm, could be my listening environment, but the drums didn't really sound forward to me. The instruments sounded a little "muffled" to me. I like the vocals though, the reverb helps them cut through the mix a bit.

Sounds good. You definitely can sing. I hope you don't mind me asking this, but is English your first language? I only ask because at times it sounds like I can hear an accent in certain parts. One suggestion I would make is to be careful about trying to "match" the original singer too much...

Thanks guys. The BX8s have a volume control on the back so I can tweak them and some acoustic settings I need to play with to see if I can make them sound better in my room. I'm trying to figure out how to convince my wife to let me have a room in the house for the studio. Wish I'd planned...

Awesome guide. Lots of great info in there and screenshots too. Thanks for posting! I'm a little afraid to upgrade at this point as I've read some people posting about trouble. I just switched back to Reaper from Studio One and I don't want to interrupt my projects.

I recently acquired (through the magic of eBay) a pair of M-Audio BX8's to go with my KRK Rokit 5's. I think the 8's might be "too much" for my room. Though it's a big room it's not dedicated to recording/mixing and it's not treated. My desk sits near a corner. Nothing I can do about the...

I watched some videos online about this piece of gear and then obsessed that I needed one in my studio. I found an awesome deal online and bought one. Now that it's here I've tried recording guitars through it and it just doesn't do anything for me. I'm wondering if it's only good for...

I was gonna give it a try too now that the thread was resurrected. I think the OP is gone though?

Doesn't really fit into a poll format so I'm just going to type the questions and you can reply with answers. 1. What size studio monitors do you use (list all if you have more than one) 2. Are they "standing up" or laying on their side? 3. Approximately what size is the room you use them in...

:thumbs up:

Thanks guys. This helps me a lot. I'm going to spend some time dialing in my tone over the next few days. This gives me a great place to start and some settings to tweak along the way.

Thanks. I watched the video, it was entertaining and informative as you said. I also appreciate your perspective on dialing in my tone, I'm going to play with the settings and see if I can't dial in a tone I like with the stock pickups.

Thanks, that helps a lot. I guess I never really thought about it that way. Does the same thing apply to using a "direct out" to my interface from a real amp? Bypassing the speaker. I'm not disputing what you say about the amp sim, but I do notice a difference when playing this guitar vs...

None of it matters because you hate amp sims or because making the suggestions you outlined won't work with an amp sim? ;) (I think I know the answer).

So maybe I misstated my original goals (or yous guys helped me to understand my goal better)...could be I'm actually looking to improve the tone of the guitar. Maybe different hot pickups would be better than what I have?
