    Decode the Design - Future to Fragments teaser clip

    Hey guys, just been doing some demo recordings over the weekend for some new material, the takes are a bit sloppy as I was writing/recording at the same time, but would be great to get a second opinion on it! :kickass: The mix will be greatly improved, currently synth is slightly too quiet in...

    Active pickups into M-Audio FW410

    Hey guys, I'm doing some guitar tracking at home using Sonar 8/Revalver MkIII with an M-Audio FW410 as my DI/audio interface. Problem is, my signal going into the M-Audio is clipping, and I think it could be because I have active pickups. I can fix the problem by enabling the "Pad" button on the...

    Borknagar Benchpress

    Just wondering, do any of the guys from Borknagar lift weights or stuff like that? Because you're all pretty big guys so you're probably pretty strong. If so, how much can you benchpress? I imagine Asgeir just drums and lifts weights all day and pulls all the ladies. Bring the pain!!! :rock...
