I use a looping pedal for only one piece (featured above) in my entire 90 minute show. So it's not repetitive or boring. It's often one of the most popular things I do all night. If you were to do multiple pieces with just a single function looper, then yes, it could get boring. I never use a...

I'm rather confused at this. Why do you think using a looper is cheating? Cheating what?

I have the Ditto Looper and love it. There is no internal click track, so you have to set your own tempo on the first loop (which means you have to be perfect on the first loop). As mjbphotos said, that makes it bad for recording, but excellent live. You can see me using it in a live situation...

Yes, that's been painfully obvious. Do you think, then, that it's something outside my apartment causing the interference?

Hey everyone, Ever since moving into this new apartment 2 years ago I've been combating the nastiest 60 cycle hum ever. I'm positive that's what it is - the kind of hum that comes and goes as you rotate throughout the room. I can find the two 180 degree points in which to stand where it...

Before a recording session, I close down everything on my machine, eject any external drives I don't need, and turn my WiFi and Bluetooth off. Then I restart. When the computer boots back up, I load only my DAW. Amp sims, like all plugins, will increase latency. Good amp sims will...

Busted out my JSX with Marshall 2x12 cab for a jam session today with a friend, who brought his Hughes & Kettner 36watt. Played the JSX for the first time in literally 3+ years. Absolutely unbelievable tube tone. The power is earth shattering. It made me weep at the thin, digital overdrive in...

I've got a Marshall 1936 2x12 and I've never heard anything that didn't sound great through it!

I tested out the Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18 today. Holy carp. That thing ROCKED. It went from crystal clean to classic rock, to high gain, and back. I backed the thing all the way to 1 watt and still the power, volume, and tone were killer. By far my favorite of all the low watt tube amps...

Believe it or not, it was pretty cranked. I'm caught in between two worlds. Ten years ago I was gigging with an 80s hair metal cover band, and another hard rock originals group. Now I'm a studio musician doing mostly acoustic rock and alt rock. I need to sell the JSX and get something better for...

Not looking for mix. I did this whole thing start to finish in 3 hours on a whim, just to test out some rock tones. I'm trying to figure out the best rock guitar tone I can get from this $200 modeling amp, so I don't have to break out my 120w half stack at ear splitting volumes. So far the...

Cool!

Hey guys, I adore my Fender Mustang II for its clean and blues tones. Even though it's solid state, the clean/blues tones that come out of this $200 amp are killer when miked. But I've always had trouble dialing in a great rock tone. Still, I wanted to have the option not to lug my Peavey JSX...

Definitely not a new concept, but good on you for discovering it. I generally use two versions of a room reverb in a mix: one with almost no pre-delay and a very short tail for "glue" or "ambiance" and the same room with 40-70ms of pre-delay and a longer tail (suited for the style/tempo of the...

Mine are real (Guitar Center). Your warning must have been for the OP.

I love my Sony MDR-7506 for tracking. I know some people think they have too much hype, but I've been thrilled with them.

Am I missing something, or doesn't the OP just need a basic, standard, digital interface? The Presonus Audiobox USB is only $100 and those XMAX preamps have tons of power. I upgraded to a Presonus Audiobox 44VSL from the USB a few years back. Both have XMAX preamps, and they rock.

I worked very hard to hit those notes and hold them. I have a tendency to drift on long held notes. So I appreciate the compliment. I mean, there's some nudging of notes here and there. But no Auto tune and nothing pulling long notes in. As to the level of the vox, they are prominent and out...

Here ya go!

Thanks for the feedback guys! Here's a new version: https://soundcloud.com/brianmillermagic/fortunate-son-retrack-v6 Changes -Reverb/delay added to main rhythm electrics. I know some of you liked it dry (which is what I was originally going for). I'm trying it out with more room space. -Main...
