I've been playing guitar for nearly 16 years now. I play a wide variety of music and the guitars I have are sub-professional, in need of major surgery (okay, just some fret crowning/replacing and possibly a pickup replacement for one). I'm considering selling everything and getting one really...

I know I should probably just join the Ibanez forum and ask this question, but I am on too many already, so here goes... I have an Ibanez RG320 that I love to play. The sound is ballsy and powerful, but lacks articulation. It's basswood, 24 frets, floyd rose, powersound pickups (cheapo) I...

I am primarily a guitarist, but play several instruments well. I've always tried to approach each new instrument looking through the eyes of someone who plays that instrument exclusively (albeit, with the added perspective that comes from playing others). When I play bass, I try to think like...

I am a commercial electrician. One of my job perks is the ability to pick up unused materials from construction sites. Acoustic ceiling tiles are usually abundant. If one is scratched in the least it is thrown out, so I can get these pretty readily and for free. My question is can they be...

I've been working on this for a while and just finished it. It's not absolutely final, but at least pretty close I think. Please critique. "Arise" http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8674251

I am having some trouble with mysace giving my songs an audible high frequency distortion that sounds something like a phone ringing. The original MP3 file played in iTunes at the same volume does not make this sound. I have been rendering MP3s straight from my 24/96 Reaper project file to a...

I'm wanting to run my keys through a tube mic pre before going to my converters, but I think they operate at line level, correct? Would sending them into a Hi Z input cause a problem? How would you go about this? Use the pre as an insert?

Hello everyone, First let me say this is a long post, but I promise all information is relevant and I get to the point eventually - thanks for indulging. I've been here for a little while now, but haven't really introduced myself. I'm not really new to recording, as I have a degree in...

Looking at a few inexpensive mics, both MXL - the R-144 ribbon mic and the V67G condensor. I'd like to be able to utilize mid/side technique, thus the choice of these two. I've heard good things about both, considering the price anyway. Would they compliment each other for a m/s stereo...

Is there a way to use the middle/side mic technique in Reaper, or do I need an external matrix device? I need to know this before purchasing a figure 8. Thanks

So how do you guys do it? Individually the guitars all sound pretty great, and mixed together they sound huge, but as those upper harmonics begin to pile on top of each other and occupy the space of cymbals in a very non-musical way. So do you EQ that out? Multi-band compression? Both? What...
