    Panning problems with Guitar Rig in Reaper

    So I'm using Guitar Rig 5 with Reaper. I have 4 guitar tracks, all under one folder, for convenience. The problem is, when I turn on GR on that folder, all the tracks in that folder become centered. I know I'm missing something obvious :spank: , what is it? Thanks :thumbs up:

    Riddling Rhymes

    Haven't posted here for a while, here's a new one. The singer/guitarist wanted me to try some new things, plus this was done super fast, so I'm not sure how it came out. Feed back is, as always, appreciated. :D EDIT: New mix in the post below.

    Presonus 1818VSL

    PreSonus Is this the beginning of the end of Firewire in audio interfaces ? As far as I know, Presonus was the only brand pushing Firewire harder than USB.

    Panning guitars and their effects

    What would be the easiest way to pan a track on one side and it's effects on the other? I want to be able to pan a guitar on one side, and it's reverb on the other. One way would be to copy the wav file and paste it on another track, and add reverb to the second one. Another way would be to...

    Weird drum mods

    I remember when I just started playing drums, I put tape on the underside of my cymbals. Not because I needed to damp the cymbals or anything, but because I saw it in the Smells like teen spirit video :D I did realize later on that it was stupid and took it off. I'm wondering if any of you have...

    Porysics, anyone ?

    Hey peepz, this is a song called You you you by the Polysics. All feedback is, as usual, greatly appreciated. I can't sing, and I hardly speak any Japanese (the song is Japanese), so if you find yourself wondering what the hell's going on, now you know :D

    Recording with a guitar sim, then playing it through an amp

    I like the versatility of a guitar sim, you have the option of choosing from tons of different effects. Heck, you can even make your own. I think it's safe to say gone are the days when distortion from anything other than pedals or amplifiers sounded like crap. There are some pretty decent sims...

    Monitor Question

    I'm looking to buy a new pair of monitors, my budget is $400 for the pair. Not a lot I know, but that's all I have right now. I know there's no "best" pair under 400 :p but I want to know about your experience with budget monitors, specifically Alesis MK2, Tannoy Reveal501, RP6, HS50M, Fostex...

    Compression on final mix

    I know how compression works, what I'm wondering is, what kind of compression do you put on the song as a whole? Obviously, there's no fixed formula and it varies, depending on the song, but what exactly do you guys look (or hear) for when compressing the final mix (I guess that means during...

    Some medieval type stuff

    A friend came over today, and he was playing a song on the acoustic, so I started recording it. Put in a little bass and drums, and did a quick mix. Not sure what the name of the song is, I've heard it before but don't remember the name. Feedback is, as always, appreciated.

    Have a Cigar Cover

    Here's a cover of Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd. It's more of a cover of the Foo Fighter's version though. Do the vocals sound really bad? And more importantly, any suggestions for improvement? Thanks.

    Trying to record drums

    When I'm recording drums on Reaper, I don't want to hear myself in the headphones; since the drums are loud enough anyway. But even when none of the tracks are armed, I can still hear myself through the mics. Maybe it's a soundcard issue? I use a Firestudio Mobile.

    Drum Trigger?

    Is there any way I can put in a certain sound.wav in a track each time it crosses a given limit? Like a drum trigger, but with a wav. sample instead of MIDI. I want to use that for kick drums.

    Recording the Snare

    I'm not having trouble getting a nice snare sound, but I can't pick up enough of it when I'm recording. I'm recording with 4 mics, 2 overheads, a kick, and a snare. I'm using a 57 on the snare, it's right there at the rim, pointing at the centre, I even made a little cardboard shield thing and...

    Presonus Question

    I'm planning on buying a Presonus Firestudio Project from the US. However, I won't be using it there, the voltage for where I plan to use it is 220V. Now the manual says it's power is from 90-230V. And it also says it's "Factory Configured for the country of destination". What does that mean...

    Recording with a Firestudio Mobile

    Hey guys, a quick question. I know recording drums with a Firestudio Project is better, but is it possible to use a Firestudio Mobile instead? What if I plug the overheads in the front inputs and use an XLR to quarter inch cable to plug the snare and bass drum mics into the back inputs? I've...

    Presonus Question

    So the new Macbook Pros only have a Firewire 800 port. The Firestudio works on 400. If i used a 400 to 800 convertor for recording, would that effect the process in any way? Like add latency or something?
