just like any other time in recorded music history, Most people are not doing anything original. They are writing songs that sound like everyone else's, playing the same guitars as everyone else, using the same amps, etc. If you are playing a Fender or a Gibson or any other mass produced...

Behringer makes fine products that sound and work just EXACTLY like Behringer products. Much like Radiohead makes music that sounds exactly like Radiohead. If you want a Mackie or whatever, buy a Mackie or whatever. And if you think the solution to making good music is in what brand gear you...

I guess that's where I keep screwing up. I thought recording was supposed to be about the music...not about the process of creating and recording it. I guess that's why you see so many discussions about what type brushes DaVinci used and what brand of typewriter made Hemingway so good.

I have yet to run into any gear that I found so offensive that I would avoid it. Every piece of gear has it's own personality. I never bought a 100 dollar mixer or guitar expecting 1000 dollar manufacturing quality... but I did get interesting tones that the other tools didn't offer. Right...

the behringer v-amp is an amplifier simulator with various effects built in. You need one if you live around other people and would like to record guitar parts without getting evicted. You need one if you don't want to splurge for 25 different amps so that you have tonal options when...

using a bass vamp for guitar would be similar to the thought of Stevie Ray Vaughan and other great guitarists using bass amps as an integral part of their sound. Just because it says Bass doesn't mean you have to use it for bass. It's rock n roll, the only rule is that is should sound good...

ban someone for posting in the wrong forum? where is the love? Has he been doing this for a prolonged period, or does the bb have a zero tolerance policy? I'd say that would be important to know.

http://www.mp3.com/ReignmakeR It's the site where my internet collaboration band offers it's new cd, the concept melodic hard rock album "City of Shadows". If you are a fan of the great hard rock bands like UFO, Scorpions, Judas Priest, etc, then you might really wanna check ReignmakeR out...

I've been advocating this idea for quite some time. My current site for it has been launched a few days ago at http://www.angelfire.com/alt2/mleague/ it's a replacement for an earlier, more targeted idea. I've created about 30 songs with people all over the world so far, doing these things...

Marketing wise, you haven't really told me what your "wildcard" is that makes you stand out as a recording artist that can make my label a nice profit. In this ultra hi-speed pop music world we live in, you have to sell right out of the gate and that requires some kind of major hook(sorry, I...

I've seen countless comments around fussing about the current trend in extremely loud recordings. I was wondering why it didn't bother me or most of the music listeners out there and then it finally came to me. Popular music(rock,pop,rap,metal,soul,country) is all about trends. Listen to any...

Buck Dharma - Last Days of May from On Your Feet or On Your Knees Jeff Beck - Crazy Legs Gary Moore - I Cant Wait Until Tomorrow from Live in Japan Yngwie - Black Star Mankey from Concrete Blonde - God is a Bullet everything Reeves Gabrels has ever played.

The problem I seem to have run into is that 90% of answers given to questions here at the HOME recording BBS are to go to a PRO?!?!? Despite the title of HOME recording, the big kahunas continually offer suggestions that reek of non-home recording. "Play a great amp at full volume gives...

I have cheap, cheap gear - Behringer V-amp1, Zoom3030, SBLive, Westone and Rogue guitars and an audiotechnica mic. It all sucks when compared to "real" gear. I record on a win98 pc using Sonar and CEP 1 using more soundfonts and plugins than can be humanly explained. I cannot mix or engineer...

purchase a pod like you would any other piece of musical gear: find one in a store and test drive it. Some love them. Some hate them. But then again, you can name anything from the Beatles to 5 string basses and get the same varying degrees of love and hate. Me, I wanted one so I could...

it's threads like this that reinforce my faith in the mixing I do... some of the best sounding recordings I can imagine have gotten savaged in this thread, while others I think suck have gotten big kudos... Beauty is ,obviously very much, in the ear of the beholder.

If you answered my question; thanks! If you answered my question and added additional info; thanks even more! If you refused to answer my question; thanks anyhow... I guess... I think the helpful comments were very helpful to a certain extent. If I were shooting for a hit single, I'd...

wow, I thought it was a simple question... while the suggestions and comments given are semi-helpful, they dont really answer the question. Lemme try it again: "All I need is for you to tell me which one you like best and which you dislike most. " I listen to the radio and mtv and hear a...

Help me!!! I'm attempting to better my mixing capabilities and I need help. My mixes sound different on everything I play them(home stereo, car, van, computer, etc) and I'm not sure which sound to go for... So, please check out this link...

I think there is a blind hatred for T-Racks that can only be rivaled by that for Behrninger products and Amplifier modelers... which is odd to me. Any tool that can help alter and adjust sound is gonna be good for someone. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's crap. I don't like...
