Hello everyone,

I posted a similar topic a while back in the "Recording Studio" forum, and as of late I have a bit more gear to choose from this time. So, that said, here goes...

How might you all utilize the following gear in order to record a professional Jazz guitarist playing *solo* electric guitar?

So let's say you're recording an electric guitar, multitrack, to be used in a band setting.

Do you:

Dial in EQ on the amp, using the low/mid/hi knobs, to the way you/the guitarist want it, then just record that signal and keep it relatively flat from there?

I just picked up a pretty high-endpre/di and eq unit (Speck electronics) and compressor (FRM RNC), and i'm having trouble getting what i feel to be natural sounding results with them (it's a little better than without them, but not a ton).

I know Quinn from the Used uses a modeling head live, but does anyone know how to replicate that killer distorted tone in the studio. Im beginning to think it must be a model of some sort, because ive used a Marshall JCM 2000, JCM 900, Dual Rectifier, Maverick, and Recto-verb and no matter the mics or pres i cant get that clear dark distorted sound.

Hi. I have some drums track written in Guitar pro. I exported file ino a *.mid format. I know I can import it in Fruity Loops. Tell me please how can I swap this midi sound into a Friuty loops drum kit samples.
Do you know any soft that can swap midi sound into samples?

Basically we are trying to get a real heavy Sabbath/Sepultura/Entombed kinda crunchy heavy rhythm sound form our recordings, any tips?

Ive got a selection on sennhesier evos and a AKG Solid Tube with a Hughes n Ketner Amp Warp 7 and 74 Flying V

Thanks 8-)

Hi, in this particular song, there is a guitar solo on that last chorus, and i ve tried anything but i can't fit it well in the mix, any tips about mixing solos ? :) ( the solo is at the center, and rythm guitars panned right and left )

thx

Hello everyone, I'm kinda new here and i have a doubt (i dont know if this is the right place for it, but ill give it a try)
I have a bass and an Audigy 2 ZS Platinium =), and i want to know if I can simply plug the bass directly in the front panel (LineIn2) and record or should i do something else to get better sound quality?

What's the best way to master the bass drum track to make it sound different from the bass? And why is the bass i record, which i record directly, sound blurry and muddy and each note is not precise?

Ok here's the deal. Everytime I record guitar into soundforge 7, I get a clicking noise. I just recorded some vocals and everything was fine, no click. I am Micing my amp with a Shure sm57, which does not touch the grill. I have tried different patch cables, made sure there is no clipping what so ever, and also tried a different mic, the EV ND257B.
