Does anyone any EQ settings to fatten up a metal guitar sound? I'm looking for that really meaty palm-muted Messugah style sound. I realise that its mostly down to the guitar and amp.

I'm using the simulanalog guitar plugins and to me they sound pretty good. I use the Tube Screamer in front of JCM900. I turn the mids up and not scoop them and it's quite a decent fat tone.

I would just like to know everyone's thoughts on external hard drives. Which ones have you used? how well have they have operated? how well have they NOT operated? etc... I would appreciate any advice at all in this department because it's new to me and i know very little. I am looking at the LaCie 250GB, Firewire 800, 7200rpm, 8MB buffer. I appreciate it and take care.

I currently have a little ghetto setup at my house (US-122 with a Sm-57 and SP B-1). I'm looking for a cheap digital 4 or 8 track recorder to use when we play at my buddy's place. I don't want any frills at all. I don't need modelling, effects, or any of that other stuff. I'm looking for something that has a trim pot, and volume slider, and the inputs.

Just wanted to gently plug http://www.lovelabormusic.com. This guy's uniquely reviewing homebrew recordings from unsigned musicians, and I guess he's just starting out. Seems that if you send him your disk, he'll actually listen to it, which is something for sure.

Cheers.

Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for the advice on recording programs and such earlier. I'm looking at getting Drumkit from Hell now and using a sampler with it for my drums. However, I've never used a sampler before, so I thought I'd get a demo version of one to try out and get a feel for one before buying it.

I hope I've got the right place (don't want to post in the wrong area). I'm a massive fan of Rice's work and write some pretty similar stuff. I know he used a mobile DAW, but I'm not sure what signal chains etc he used. Incidently, if anyone knows a way to get the fab guitar and vocal sounds he achieved, I'd love to know. Sorry to take up your time. Thanks

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to access the audio files created on the
Zoom MRS1266 on a computer? I know about the software which can be
downloaded from zoom.co.jp, but as far as I know, it only works when
the Zoom is connected to the usb jack. The problem is that the unit
I rented didn't had any usb...

Hey everyone i am a 16 year old from Ohio and me and my band recently recorded our first album using N-Track Studio. We are pleased with the result, but we know it could be better. Do you have any tips for a beginner on basic good recording? Things like mic posistions, inexpensive gear, tracks, all that stuff is helpful. Thanks!

I am trying to get the things together to record my band using my computer. I already have Sonar 3 and home studio 2002, i don't know what card to get. I want something with several xrl inputs...(i think) But i don't know if i should just run a return out of the board or what.. any help would greatly be appreciated...

I am having trouble deciding whether to get an analog console or a digital one such as the DM24.

I'll be recording to a DAW on a PC or Mac.

I like the immediacy of the analog console but with a Digital one such as DM24 (actually only one currently) I can do without external AD/DA and go direct into computer.
