Whatever they're called, I'm recording straight in so I want realistic guitar sounds (both lead and rhythm) as well as decent sounding drums and synths, the whole package basically. Is there anywhere to download decent free ones?

Hey, guys.

I've been lurking for a few weeks, stealing your best informations as I find it.

However, I've run into an issue that's got me totally stumped. I'm trying to mix a song for my band (we're trying REALLY damned hard to do our recording in-house so we don't have to pay someone else to screw up what we can screw up ourselves).

is the mbox the only type of interface i can use with Pro Tools LE? thank you.

Hey all.

Been reading around a few forums now regarding getting a good bass sound, but I've realised I'll probably get the best answer by explaining what gear I currently use and my budget etc

In June, we'll be playing an outdoor party of 400-500 people. I'm trying to piece together a system with various bandmembers' stuff that is punchy enough to sound clean playing blues and bluesy-rock. It doesn't have to be ear-bleeding loud, but I want it to be good-sounding. Bass guitar amped on stage and run direct, everything else (guitars, drums) mic'ed.

Hi guys, help me out here. I've been having trouble getting that Black Album, Nickelback, guitar sound that Randy Staub always uses in his mixes, you know, full but spacious guitars.

Does anyone have any experience with these I read about them in Premier Guitar last month. They seemed pretty impressed but those mags run on advertising dollars, so you have to wonder if they are biased.

I have a very nice acoustic guitar track that I put down, but it has a small 1 or 2 second segment with some intermittent static (I think it came from the pickup jack).

I can easily re-record it, of course, but I'd really like to know how I can clean it up. What would be the technique for getting rid of static from a music track?

Thanks

hello all,

Since I'm new to home recording, obviously I have questions about sample rate, record format, and micing. My primary instrument is drums...I know, what a chore! It seems the consensus is 24 bit (since my Firestudio Project supports it) at 44.1. Any recommendations?
