Returned from the dead
truest thing i have EVER heard. it also doesnt help that i have somewhat of an ocd. i expect everything i do to be perfect. it also doesnt help that i expect so much of myself... i expect myself to be the best player, the best engineer, the best mixer. and im only seventeen and alot of people i know tell me that and i need to relax because im expecting myself to play, sound, and have the gear of a 40 year old music/recording veteran.
im sure my tone actually is fine *to other ears* but if it doesnt sound good to me then i could never be satisfied with anything i create and i couldnt be happy. its my dream to be a successful guitar play just like any other 17 year old who likes country or rock but i DEFINATELY wouldnt mind becoming an audio engineer. its a field that fascinates me and i really enjoy it, its something i could be proud of rather than doing something just to make a living.
but now back to the point. tadpui you have been the most helpful person ive encountered on this site. the world needs more ppl like you
thing is ive done my fair share of reading and learning.... probably last year and a half spent reading, learning, and buying gear now and again to build a modest little studio. i really love learning about this stuff... lol.
and i never EVER turn the mids all the way down no matter what. i learned alot reading slippermans guide to recording distorted guitars from hell and i have read and re-read ALL of tweakheadz guide... hell i even printed the whole damn thing off and use it as a recording bible now lol.
and i have some sennheiser headphones and some crappy epiphone headphones too. but i prefer to keep my cab out of my room where i cant hear it and use monitors along with the headphones to hear my tone and judge how it sounds. i also dont like a lot of distortion cause i like to hear my amp/guitar tone rather than a big blurry distorted mess.
i can probably just sell a bunch of my gear and my amp and maybe some of my other stuff to get a tube amp i guess..... hopefully ill get lucky and get a good deal on one.
even though its the answer i def. didnt wanna hear lol thanks for all the help everyone. you have no idea how much i appreciate it. thank you for taking the time out to put your word in, especially you tadpui.
off to craigslist! lol
