I record a lot of live recitals (jazz and classical), and I usually use 2 SM57's for room mics. I know these aren't a very good choice in recording this kind of situation. The problem I get with these is that since I use the 57's as room mics and the inputs have to be turned way up to get a...

I am going to replace the stock pickups in my Ibanez with EMG's. The configuration is two humbuckers, bridge and neck. I know I definetly want the EMG 89 so I can split the coils. Where should I put this pickup, in the neck or bridge? And depending where I put the 89, what should I put in the...

I have owned a Dual Rectifier 100 watt solo head for about 4 years now. I'm getting pretty sick of the sounds that I'm getting and it's limitations. My main problem with the amp is that when I'm playing with a band, it doesn't cut through. I've even added an Alesis graphic eq and a BBE sonic...

I'm currently trying to get a good recorded metal guitar sound (old Metallica, Fear Factory, Pantera) for my band's demo. All the other instrument tracks are done and they sound great, but no matter what I do, I can't get a good sound recorded for the guitar. I use a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier...

I recently just bought the Alesis DM5 drum module. I bought it specifically to get that Pantera/Fear Factory type bass drum sound. Could someone that has this unit help me out with getting this sound from one of the bass drum sounds? Any help is appreciated.

I was just wondering how does the VHT Pittbull 120 watt solo head compare to other hot amps like the Mesa/boogie dual rectifier, a Soldano head, or other really high gain amps. I play really heavy music so I need a crunchy, high gain sound.

I currently own a Roland VS-1680 and I was thinking about buying a mic preamp, probably the ART MP. The only problem is, I can only afford one of them. Would I be able to buy just one mic preamp and then after I record my drum tracks, run the tracks through the ART MP and get the same effect...

I own a mesa/boogie dual rectifier tube head, and I recently just bought the ada mp1 rackmount pre amp. I was wondering, since I don't own a power amp, is there any way that I can use the mp1 as my preamp and the rectifier as the power amp. I want to use the rectifier as a source of power only...

How is the Alesis dm5 compared to the d4. All I want to use the drum module for is to trigger a bass drum sounds for a recording situation. The sound I'm looking is a cross between Fear Factory and Pantera bass drum sound. If I can get the same bass drum sound out of either one, then I'd...

I currently own a Roland XP-50 music workstation. I am planning to record my band soon, and I like one of the bass drums sounds from one of the rhythm sets. I was wondering if there is any way that I can use a trigger pad on my drummer's bass drum and have it trigger the bass drum sound from...
