    Diagnose: Tube amp crackly sound

    I know it was a joke! I was just playing along. In any regard, problem solved and I'm happy.

    All the recordings you've heard from me? Still no faith! LOL

    Diagnose: Tube amp crackly sound

    Did you hear the clips? All the members here and nobody even suggested it might be fret buzz. It was way beyond what fret buzz typically sounds like. The neck was practically bent backwards. Much more drastic than we usually encounter. I've been playing guitar for 15 years. I'm familiar with...

    Diagnose: Tube amp crackly sound

    Welp, all I can tell you is I had setups done on these guitars in early December as the weather turned colder for the winter, so they were perfect. Then by February I was having major issues, and last night after adjusting the truss rod (adding relief to the neck) the problem was significantly...

    Diagnose: Tube amp crackly sound

    I was playing them, and the problem was growing worse over two months. And then I stopped playing because our wedding was approaching, and then the wedding, and then our honeymoon. I've just returned and found the problem to be the way you heard it. Like I said, I plugged straight into my...

    Diagnose: Tube amp crackly sound

    SOLVED (I think): Originally I ruled out everything except the amp head itself by testing different cables, guitars, etc. Then tonight, frustrated and wanting to jam, I plugged directly into my system and pulled out Revalver amp sim. Lo and behold: same problem! What??? How can it be possible...

    Diagnose: Tube amp crackly sound

    Tone knobs react like you would expect. Amp never moved from its position physically since I set it up. I've done full modern rock/metal song recordings with this amp already. I'm pretty sure this issue is new, or I would've heard it by now. Here's a full song where every guitar was recorded...

    Diagnose: Tube amp crackly sound

    Yes, but much much less noticeable. I've got Treb 1:00, Mids 11:00, Bass 10:00. Not very aggressive settings. You think that's the issue?

    You mean take the direct output from the effects loop out?

    Diagnose: Tube amp crackly sound

    Hey guys, My new Tubemeister 18, which has been nothing but amazing for 3 months, is now producing a strange sound that's hard to describe. So here it is, on Soundcloud and attached. Same clip, once with the Redbox direct out and the other from SM57 miked through Marshall 1936...

    Is it good to use two compressors into one same vocal track ?

    So much this. Definitely even out the super loud and super quiet sections before compressing. Better yet, treat them as separate tracks. If you can, track the soft parts on one track, gain staged for the soft section, and then track the loud parts in a separate take on a different track, gain...

    Minimalist approach to recording acoustic guitar.

    You can get a pseudo stereo spread by recording DI and SM58 at the same time. If your DI is a bright sound (most are), then aim the 58 towards the soundhole from about 12" away. Record both simultaneously. Then phase align the wavs (zoom in real close and make sure the two wav files are in...

    "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down - Interpretation by Escher's Enigma

    Thanks for listening man. The snare issue is just in the streaming versions, I'm pretty sure. It was quite punchy in the wav and mp3 versions. In any regard, appreciate the feedback!

    "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down - Interpretation by Escher's Enigma

    Hey guys, My father and I (Escher's Enigma) have been rearranging and interpreting famous (and not-so-famous) songs over the past year or so, just for fun. We'll be releasing them one at a time over the next few months for free. We're just using them to draw some attention to our original EPs...

    Recording doubled guitars

    Hey Jesse - did you have a question about doubling guitars, or were you just letting us know?

    LOOPERS Anyone?

    Come to my show, and I'll do a chord change for you :D

    LOOPERS Anyone?

    No way to switch chords without starting a whole new looping with the new chords (which could be done, mid song). But I can tell you that I've been doing this piece for almost two years. As a solo act who has to keep an audience's attention for 90 minutes alone, this slays. Listeners aren't...

    LOOPERS Anyone?

    Interestingly, you're the second person who has said that. There was no intentional influence or even indirect from the Allman Brothers - I know almost none of their music (though I enjoy it when I hear it).
