A couple of years ago when I used to post here a lot, I was in a band and we even managed to get into the studio and record a few things. But due to the inevitable bassist being a massive asshole creative differences, that eventually went absolutely nowhere and we never even got the songs we recorded out to anywhere at all, not even to social media or whatever. But I was talking to the guitarist the other day, who I'm still mates with, and he said he had sneakily put the only track we... Read more ..read more

I picked up a bunch of York Audio IR's, as most people on here seem to back them as the best IR's currently. I find the MES 412 OS-V2 as being the best one, I also have the Mesa 2x12, the DV77 and the Orange 4x12. Did a demo of the Mesa 4 x 12 pack, going through most of the different options in the package, use the timestamps in the describtion to skip around: Using the Engl Savage Axe FX II as the amp, which is my current favorite. Previously I have mostly been trying... Read more ..read more

Hey, I've been learning All New Materials from Periphery and, I have to say, I am having a blast (pun not entirely intended). I am new to mixing but, gathering some info here and there, I managed to get something out of my DAW. Here is the result for now, I would love to hear some feedback. Do note that I am on a cheap badly tuned and poorly intonated ibanez GIO (for now) with 5 month old strings, I'll just get everything sorted setup-wise once I am ready for proper...

Hey guys, I used to run a small studio and own Super Drummer 2, EZDrummer 2, SSD4 and Komplete 8, but I used to record on a Windows machine and now I'm on a much smaller setup with an M1 Mac. I'm not 100% certain, but it doesn't seem like any of these work on the new Mac architecture (I'm not even sure how to download some of them anymore ), so I've been looking at some new options. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Toontrack has an upgrade from SD2 to 3 and I'm not spending $320 to... Read more ..read more

We just did five songs. Three known ones and two not-so-known ones. On the playlist there's a few cover songs we did earlier, too. Feedback appreciated ..read more

I used Cubase 5 in the past and the steep learning drew me away. I'm now using Logic Pro and it's been comfortably enough to use to record covers to learn the software. Sometimes, I fear I'm learning the wrong DAW, thinking I'd have better workflow with another DAW. How did you all decide on the DAW you're using? What led you to switch? Are you happy with your current workflow with your song writing process ..read more

hello i just started recording a few days ago and the pick attack is so scratchy and ugly sounding, and chirps quite a bit. im using abasi archetype and plini amp sims atm and will have jason richardsons mixwave tomorrow. my interface is an axe i/o pickups are 7 string illuminator set, ernie ball prodigy pick and black jazz 3s. ive tried everything other than EQ but i want to at least minimize how much ill have to EQ so i can maintain my tone. ive tried lowering my bridge pickup, picking...

Hey there fellows. I'm looking for a little help here, how do I record a MIDI pedalboard performance for later editing and control external devices when reamping? Here's the layout: I'm using a MIDI controlled rack and besides the performance's audio recording, I'd like to also record its MIDI pedal performance. The setup is as follows: Audio path - Guitar out tinto the Triaxis' Input, then an FX loop via the G-Force, back to the Triaxis, then out to poweramp, through Torpedo loadbox and...

I've been searching for 25 years for some solution to play guitar and have it auto transcribed to tab. There are midi solutions out there but not sure there's a consensus on how well they work. But I'd be totally open to buying a midi pickup if there's the right SW that can do a good job of transcribing (such as correcting rhythm so it doesn't come out a jumbled mess if your timing isn't perfect, and you can set the string tuning, and can track a fast shredding solo). And I fully assume... Read more ..read more
