Hi all,

My band just finished recording our debut album with Jamie King (BTBAM, For Today, He Is Legend, etc) - we would love your thoughts and feedback on the first single (both the recording and...

Hi all,

I recently picked up PT 9. I have been a die-hard Cubase user in the past and I'm finding PT a bit difficult to figure out. What are your tips for learning PT?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same issue and ended up doing an RMA on my iLok. I had bought the "old" (blue, shaped like a key) iLok and it seemed to die on me. Lights came on, but neither of my comps would recognize...

This doesn't mean much of anything, but I did try out Amplitube 2 for a while.

My impression was that it offered awesome clean sounds, very good overdrive sounds, good rock sounds, but was...

Wow - thanks for all the great advice!

I tried an interesting combination the other day that actually came out pretty good. SM57 off axis on the cone, an AT4033 about two feet away, and then a...

Hi all,

Just wanted to gather some thoughts on the best mics for recording metal guitar.

Of course, it is hard to beat a good 'ole SM57, which is what I've been using. But, there have got to...

Hi all,

I'm about to upgrade my desktop due to some hardware issues. Of course, I'm probably going to go with an Intel Q6600.

I do all of my recording/mixing in Cubase Studio 4. Will Cubase...

Aww man! Audacity used to by my best friend! I haven't used it since I switched to Cubase, but I'll install the beta and give the benchmark a try. I'll post back when I have the results...

I'm a little confused as to what your problem is, but I have a hint that you're dealing with digital clipping, and not the usual "pops and clicks", which has to do with buffer settings and the like....

I have a Rode NT1000, which is smack dab on your price, and I love it! For comparison, I also have an Audio-Technica AT4033/SE, which was a more expensive mic new. To be honest, I have found the...

I bought an H&K switchblade 100 (combo) a couple of weeks ago. My thoughts:

Tone:
Absolutely killer. The metal tone is right where I want it - more precise than your standard Marshall, yet...

That is up in the air, and was, in fact, one of my questions. How big does it need to be? I have this fairly large unfinished basement. I was planning on building a room inside it, or, at the...

Hi all,

Well, I have semi-decided that my summer project is going to be turning my basement into a studio, as many of you have done. So, I thought I would start gathering information now, since I...

I have owned a Eureka for a few months now, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.

Not only is the preamp, in my humble opinion, better than your M-Box's, the compressor and EQ are...

I have the Ampeg BA112. I find that it has great tone for the price, but could use a little more punch and loudness. It has a little bit of a hard time keeping up in my band, which consists of two...

Thank you for clearing that up. Now that I look back, I can definitely see your humor. I absolutely hate plain 'ole text for humor, sometimes you just can't get it across!!

Hahahahaha! Yeah... I see what you mean. I guess here's where I'm at:

The Marshall deal fell through, and a new DSL100 half stack is too expensive.

I'm just flat out too old fashioned to buy...

Sorry to re-hash an (sort of) old thread, but I have another question...

The deal with the Marshall fell through, so I'm back on the market.

I've really fallen in love with the Hughes & Kettner...

Well, I am able to get the Marshall DSL stack for $1200 used. I think I'll probably go with it. If I end up not being satisfied with it, I may very well sell it and grab a V3. From the demos, they...

Yeah, I just went and played the Supersonic again on my lunch break... Definitely not enough bite for metal...

Ahh, thanks for the info.

I always thought Carvin was nice stuff, but it's so hard to dish out the money before hearing one! :lick:

Hi all,

Given the choice, which would you pick. For roughly the same price (slight difference), I can get a new Fender Supersonic, which I hear is awesome (played briefly, sounded great), or a...

Hi all,

Just picked up an Audio-Technica AT 4033/SE used for $200 bucks. What are this mic's strong suites? I've read that it's good for vox and miking guitar cabs. Any experience?

I've also...

I agree with the push pins. I put mine up using a couple of boxes of "T" pins, and they've been up over a year with no problems - even LENRDs!

So large wire = less resistance = low impedance, correct? OK, I think I get it...

I will experiment with it when I get home this weekend.
