Anyone use any of these? I am looking for good bass sounds and trilogy sounds interesting- also atmosphere with so many pads could be a good complement to my set up. I am running Digital performer 4.12 (mac, only, of course) and I do have mach five soft sampler plus garrital personal orchestra. Another option would be a bass and/or a pad library for mach five.

Hi,

My setup is as follows:

1 live room with 16 feeds through inc. returns to a "control room" with Mackie 1642VLZ desk into amp & monitors.

If I connect everybody through mics & XLRs to the desk that is fine.

I hope somebody can help!I am using cooledit pro.I have a tubeamp with a condenser mic.When I record dialog for a voice over,the levels go up and down.They go up for a few seconds,almost peaking,then down much lower.All of the components connected seem to be working ok.Is it the software,maybe the sound card?

what are the real advantages of having balanced inputs/outputs ? will not the unbalanced outputs of a mixer (UB502, TS) into the unbalanced inputs of a Monitor (Event TR6, RCA) sound as good, as say their XLR counterparts ? also for other connections, especially over rather short distances ?

Hey guys still narrowing the gap on what gear to get. I was advised by a salesman that the best all around pre for rock/ pop rock and alt country in his opinon was the Vintech X73i. A Neve 1073 clone with EQ. I was also looking at the Vintech X73 (not X73i) and Great River Pre (no EQ)(he said the GR was darker). Also was advised to get the AEA ribbon mic instead of the Royer R-121 .

So far I've been using software amp sims like Amplitube, Warp, Thrash, etc. The best results I get when I run a guitar thru my DigiTech RP100 and apply Warp's JC-Clean (RP100 doesn't vave good cab sims) This is the closest I can get to this unique sound of a real miced cabinet.

I've heard that hardware amp sims like POD XT do the job well, do they?
Or, maybe a tube preamp?

Is there anyway I can convert my tracks rendered to 320 kbps 48 khz mp3s to 44.1 khz without any quality loss, so I can burn them on CD without having to render every track over to 44.1khz wavs?
that could take years!. .

PLS Help...
thnx

Hi,
Im wondering whether anyone knows how Skid Row managed to get such an awesome "guitar" sound on the Slave to the Grind album... would anyone out there know what equipment they used on that album at the time? and how they went about recording guitars?

Gday guys and gals, just sitting here wondering what your fave acoustic guitar recorded songs/albums are, and why? I always wonder how some songs/albums are able to sound so good...What do you look for in these types of sounds? What is your ultimate or 'holy grail' sound for an acoustic guitar? how do you get them?
Cheers, just thought id bring up a sort of specific thread..

What are some good techniques to use when recording heavy metal music? How do you mic the drums to get that punchy new wave of heavy metal sound? How could i get more warmth to my recordings? Im only looking for suggestions. Thanks.
