Looking to upgrade the pickups in my Jackson RR. Have heard for years that for metal there is nothing better or simpler than EMG 81-85. I am looking for the Killswitch Engage tone, dirty and chunky but distinguished. I definitely want passive, I don't like a lot of extra wiring/features. I like the rhythms to be chunky and downright heavy, but won't feedback when you cut the note off.

Hey all i just got some new gear and I'm still kinda new to recording.

I recently bought a MXL 990 condenser mic to record with. When I record with Acid Pro 6, its not recording at an even panning level. More sound is recorded into the left speaker then the right speaker.

Has anyone else had this problem? or anyone know how to fix this?

Has anyone tried the new PreSonus Studio Channel? I currently have a PreSonus Eureka and think its great. Just wondering if anyone has hands on experience with the Studio Channel?

Hi this is Romi and I'm in a band I'm recording our DEMO by using SONAR 8 Producer, Saffire LE, Line POD X3, Shure KSM 27,
For the Guitar and Bass recording I'm using POD X3 directly to Saffire and for Vocals Its directly to saffire, and Drums are from the Sonar by using session drummer VST,

Looking at DI's. Why do the prices vary so much? Is it better preamps/wiring or cleaner bypass? Or do the higher price ones clean up the sound and make it sound better for DI. I have taken direct injection of my guitar without one and I can get it to sound good, but it takes a lot of Plugs and EQ's; you know, bass filters exciters and the like.

hi all.
after many fruitless hours of research into this i have decided to irritate some of you with some questions :)

i am running a windows xp Cubase or reaper based setup with a Focusrite saffire pro 40 as the interface.
i also have a Focusrite twintrak(TT) pro with the a/d card installed.

Hello!
I am redoing the song "I'm so hood" by dj khaled, and I am having a really hard time getting the sound right on the "I'm so hood" part of the chorus. It is sung by Dj khaled himself, and I cant figure out what effects he used on it. Any suggestions? thanks for your time!
