    Drum Recording tips

    is that snare head new? One thing I've learned is to not just replace the batter head but replace the snare side too. Makes a huge difference. Also make sure youre hitting the head hard enough, in the right spot and with a good stick. Never tried the dr scholls moongels everyone ive talked...

    Down sized to 5w tube for gigs.

    Go big or go home! but seriously i think speakers and SPL ratings are still under looked. I agree you don't need a stack but come on you gotta admit its alot more sexy than a knee high combo. Am i vain? it keeps you in shape too! I'm young i like it loud maybe youre just old :P 4x12s have a...

    dull rhythm guitar

    Yes I understand but everyone just seemed to assume he is using way too much gain. Less gain is usually a good solution for guitar recording but I said "if all else fails" Also I was giving him the benefit of the doubt when he said he had a good tone. Anyways cheap preamps and bad ad/da...

    dull rhythm guitar

    While everything everyone said above is true there are other things to consider too. If all else fails try checking your mic preamp and AD/DA converters and what not. I thought it would be best to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you have a good sound. Instead of talking...

    EL34 tubes in a Mesa Dual Rec.

    Hello, was wondering if anyone had tried this before. I searched but couldn't find anything. I've had my amp a few weeks and I finally got a tone I like but I've always been a bigger fan of the el34 tubes sound. How they would change the sound of this amp. I know its not going to turn my...

    Whats the deal with Mesa Boogies.

    That is exactly what I expected as a response. :p Yes it has a solid state pre and tube power section. To me its the way to go not like those Valvestate/AVT amps or whatever. I guess the point was that noticing all of the buttons and features on an amp almost made me forget what the real...

    Whats the deal with Mesa Boogies.

    Yes by no means do I dislike Mesa Boogie or any other brand in particular. I was just very surprised that I ended up going home with the amp I did I was prepared to pay cash for a triple rectifier. If all of the heads in the store were the same price I would have still bought mine. The 10...

    Whats the deal with Mesa Boogies.

    I bought a Marshall 3203 head and a 1960AC cab to go with it yesterday and I am really happy with my sound. I have heard a lot of trash about it mainly because its lack of features but I realized right off the bat it didn't need anything else. I checked out a bunch of other amps including a...

    Translation

    I was reading some reviews today in my new tape op issue and I noticed that in a lot of them-- like any other magazine-- they sugar coat everything. Is it just me or is this how you guys translate most reviews as well? I guess I'm just jealous they get free gear to play with all of the time...

    Demos??

    Yeah I agree for the most part but a nice demo won't hurt. You don't want to wear torn jeans and a t shirt to a large corporate job interview do you? I assume we are talking about a big label right?

    Heavy Bass Distortion?

    I like that bass sound but thats not quiet what I'm looking for. Thanks for taking the time to respond. The statement about mixing a clean/dirty bass track does spark some ideas. thanks. It does sound "really fuzzy" with alot of low end but you could still easily distinguish between notes...
