Hello. I have not been here for ages. Reason being that I have been busy, and not recording either. Mostly gigging/touring with my bands, work, got two sons etc.. Now again, I think I should record some solo stuff. I don't want to bother/involve drummers of my bands.. But I'm utterly...

The first album of my band. Recorded (most part), mixed (most part) and mastered by myself. Recorded at our rehealsalplace. Total recording/mixing/mastering costs: under 600euros.:o youtube, from a MetalHammer collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjxlHSZ54HU The album as whole streamed...

Hi! Got myself a budget IEM:s (Ashton iem200) a behringer mixer (xenyx 1002B) and a e609 mic, for live monitoring. The problem seems to be: A when cranked in volume, there is notable hiss. B If not cranked, the bass and rest of the band tend to bleed through so much, that they are useless. Jouni

Hi!! Our bassplayer seems deaf. The amount of low end and volume he is using drowns everything out, makes drums resonate so that the drummers kick-triggers are making ghosthits when the bassist plays on the fifth fret, and STILL.. he's bending downwards to hear himself when we're playing. :D...

It has become obvious I don't know a lot of stuff. Cabinet dynamics is one. But.. I've got a 4x12 cabinet, it has decent speakers (can't remember what) but it sounds like crap. Someone DIY:ed it, from solidwood, though. It isn't very deep, and I think that's why it sounds overly middley.. has...

Hello! Is there some nifty gadget, that in a live situation, I could place a mic of my own to drums, and get it to a in-ear monitoring set? I posted this to drums because.. When gigging as a bassist OR a guitarist, all I need to hear is the drums. All I WANNA hear is the drums. But sadly, say...

Heeeeelllo. My amp builder offered such a thing to increase gain on my amp to be. I dunno if it's necessary since there is allready a decent amount of it... But that COULD push it to "true high-gain"-territory... For Black-metal. :cool::D -Are there tonal trade-offs in distorting the hell out...

Hi. There's some mixing/mastering attempts flying around of a couple of records I play in. And as I threw one mastering to Goldwave, it kept blinking the red lights. I let the poor mixercandidate have it. :D Later I dropped the same mix into Wavelab and noticed that the red clipping-indicators...

Hello all! Haven't been around much since a band of mine got a deal with a label and I've been busy getting an album done on a rehealsalplace budget... Still a lot to do there.. But!.. I'm still sorting some things out in my head, of what do I want from my next guitar amp. First, why is the...

What tube amp sounds like the Boss HM-2??? And no, it isn't a trick question. I really like the gravel-like growly mids of the swedish death-metal bands, like Dismember, Nihilist and Entombed. And as I understand they are using that pedal for their sound. But I can't be assed to f*ck around...

Good evening everyone. Now.. I want to have MY dream amp. Which is pretty difficult if you don't know what to look for... Firstly, many high-gain amps feature 4 or 5 preamptubes, some only three.. What's the deal on that?.... Then, the question that arose to my mind on the other thread I...

Hi! Haven't posted anything seriously stoopid for a while again, so here goes.. :D Take a metalband, drunk one, put the bassplayer to drums, the drummer to the vox, and say "lets play some improvised HC!": http://serif.pp.fi/haaska/trhsressed.mp3 Put that in your pipe and... :D

Heyayaa'll! There's someone selling a BF bassman, not functional!! The seller claims not knowing what's the matter... http://muusikoiden.net/dyn/tori/381049.jpg Would it be worth to buy?... for 300-500? Could be just tubes.... Could be a tranny...........

Hi. A while back I was looking for a high-gain 30-50watt amp, and decided to go with a Phaez amplifier, a Canadian "boutique" amp-builder, also associated with Ark amps, Randy Fay. I emailed the fella and he agreed to build me a 6l6-powered amplifier with his "Daisycutter"-circuit. According to...

I'm talking about a digital recorder. One that records, say, 8 xlr-inputs simultaniously, with gain control, to a flash-memory. That's it. Maybe a hole for headphones to listen what the mics are catching one by one. If batterypowered, I could manage with dynamic mics, no phantom needed. NO...

Heeellllllyyyeah!... This is more a studio-related than a home-recording question. Lets presume there is a band that's recording a full-length album and are promised a deal to market and spread it by some company, but they are on their own while producing the album. Their drummer is also...

Hi!! I've been playing guitar in a band that's kinda picking up a little lately, gigs coming warming up some "bigger" metal bands. Usual shit. The thing is, I've fooled around with my russian amps, and like them, but can't trust'em to tour. :o -Sovtek mig-30 with a Koch pedaltone in front...

Hi! Just bought one from Ebay, specs seem pretty good, hope everything goes right. Anyone here played one?? How's the action on those things? The regular bolt-neck T-birds I've seen were all pretty high-actioned..

Hi all. Since I'm the single guitarist in our 4-piece band, I thought I'd thicken up the sound using two amps in stereo. I used a Loop-master ABY-switch but that setup has terrible hum!! So, I bought a Lehle p-split passive splitter, which seemed to work on a gig out of town, but on our...

Hi! Yes, it is my 4. russian tube amp. My friends are laughing that I've been "endorsed by CCCP" :D This thing rocks. At measely 350 bucks, 120Watts of point-to-point mastervolumed highgain terror!.. (2,93 for a tube-watt, beat that.:cool: ) I believe this is made after the "Red Bear"-era by...
