This recording features drum tracks engineered by me about 15 years ago at university. I had no idea what I was doing when I put up the mics. Recently the lead guitarist the vocalist and I completed the song. Guitars going into Bias Amp and the vocals are Rode NT1A with the UA Solo 610 pre.

I think this section of music is Metallica's finest moment. Here is my take on a one man arrangement of the bridge and solo sections played on an all solid wood Cordoba C9. You can download the tab here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i3jerk5xk92zlcd/to_live_is_to_die.pdf/file

I made an acoustic finger style arrangement for Nothing Else Matters in E major with many jazzy extensions and a baroque classical vibe. You can download the notation/tab here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/1m3b3eyxyurp1fq/Nothing_Else_Majors.pdf/file And you can watch a demonstration of the...

I have played around with heaps of waves plugins but really only love the ssl mix buss comp, cla 76, c4 and hcomp. Anybody found freeware or very cheap alternatives that are every bit as good? Some if these plugs are pretty old and $300 just for cla 76 is ridiculous.

Currently running 4gb of ram and just bought ni komplete ultimate 10. Unfortunately now i can only run 3 guitar tracks and one instance of abbey road modern drummer so im buying a new pc too. Does 4 times the ram simply mean i could run 12 guitar chains and 4 vsts as sample heavy as modern...

Heaps of little things bug me about this mix but maybe I'm obsessing over it. Any tips, criticisms congratulations are welcome. Cheers https://m.soundcloud.com/star-ark/with-the-dead

Has anyone played it yet? I don't own a ps4 but I just woke up to find out work is cancelled for the day and it releases today in Australia. Is it worth buying the ps4 just for this game? I'll be flat broke for a few months if I do but I get the feeling it will be worth it. Should I commit to...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuuRuL3HbHg Does anyone hold the SM7B like Devin in this clip? It's not quite cupping but he is covering the capsule big time. I started to experiment with it yesterday and it seems to make everything even more direct. However I don't have full mix to drop the...

for about 10 years ive struggled with snare drum reverb. In solo it always sounds great but in the mix it sounds dry and the verb is just turning everything else to mud. By accident I swithced the verb buss to mono and finally I think I found the trick to snare verb. To the more experienced...

i have just turned my living room into a live room and now have a control room live room setup. The live room has high ceilings and also has an open plan kitchen which echos quite a lot. Just wondering if room treatment for the live room is necessary? This is only for loud electric gutars...

I normally do my own singing but I'm terrible at heavy vocals so for this song I have used a friend. He is an amazing vocalist and it seemed almost too easy to mix him, actually it's just a tiny bit of compression and verb and a hi pass filter. It sounds fine to me but i was wondering if anyone...

My biggest issue with this mix is the bass at the start. No matter what I do it sounds out of tune but only on certain sound systems. Not sure how to fix? Any other suggestions are welcome I've always struggled with dense mixes. Cheers https://soundcloud.com/star-ark/mars-attacks

Anything at all that you think is good or bad about the mix please let me know. I'm trying to mix an entire album and I need to get one song as good as I can to then use as a template for the entire album. Be brutally honest please. Cheers...

I'm working on a song with maybe a dozen different vocal takes all playing at once. The final word of one line constantly repeated is "Sunrise" and I'm finding it very hard to get the final esss sound to work in the mix. Up until that point it sounds like a fairly tight vocal sound but this one...

My locking trem Ibanez s series has a metal nut that is V shaped and is designed to take all string gauges. Because of this I use it almost exclusively for recording as I can change from standard to B without needing to go get a new nut cut, I just need to adjust for intonation and truss rod...

I bought a pair of these 3 days ago. There is very little info on this particular version so I thought I'd share what I have found I was planning on checking out some Fostex pm 1 which are 6.5 inch near fields going for half retail price atm. The Fostex pm 1 sounds a hell of a lot like the...

I use a high pass on everything I use a low pass on telephone effect stuff, that's it Should I be using a low pass on virtually everything like the highpass? Are there specific instruments you guys always lowpass? And please don't give me the 'whatever sounds best' routine, we've all...

For some strange reason Duncan Patterson from Anathema just played a gig in Thornbury, Melboure, Australia. There was about 40 people there. Got to hang out with him all night, he's an awesome bloke. No real point to this thread, I'm just baffled this gig happened at all and that no one came out...
