So, I need some suggestions on things to do to get a better tone from a 7 string. I've never been a 7 string user myself, so any suggestions and advice is always appreciated. I've got a friends band who wants to track a demo soon, and I've offered to help them out some. The clip below is from...

So I was curious to know what techniques everyone has used (or finds themselves using most often) in order to get some "big" sounding vocals? Of course there's hardly anything you'd do every time, so I'm just trying to generalize and find methods you find yourself using more than most. After...

I'm curious if anyone here has been trying either the Audix D1 or the i5 on snare? I've been contemplating picking up one or both recently. If you have tried either, how would compare the sound of it versus a 57?

Has anyone here tried out the Izotope Ozone package? I'm particularly interested in it for the dithering and the multiband dynamics processor in it. Here's a link to it: http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/ The dithering in it is supposed to be excellent. The processor it uses now, the...

I apologize if this topic has been covered before, but I didn't turn up anything in my searches. Does anyone have a breakdown of the guitar gear (amps/cabs/guitars) that was used on each album? Thanks! :rock:

Ater listening a lot to the old Maiden albums over the last few days, like "Number of the Beast," "Piece of Mind," "Powerslave," etc...I've really started to take note of the bass tone on those albums. It's a very distinct tone that's different from a lot of other metal bands, and I was curious...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here has tried using the RNC-1773 Really Nice Compressor on bass guitar before or on drums? I've heard that it works great on vocals and some applications, but I've seen nothing but complaints from guys trying to use it on bass before. Any insight is appreciated!

I'm trying to track down some info on these consoles, and I was wondering if anyone has ever used the two and could compare and contrast them? I wasn't sure if the D8B was simply a digital version of the 24/8 (do they have the same mic pre's in them?) or if it was distinctly made differently...

What mixer/console would you guys suggest in the $750 - $1000 price range (less is also acceptable...:cool: ) that would provide the best sound quality and at least 8 mic pre's? I'm trying to gather opinions, and I'm hoping to find somehting with some good onboard mic pre's. I've looked at...

I've tried using the rediculous search function, and it doesn't seem to want to yield anything useful. So, I thought I would post and ask what you guys would suggest for a useful, decent quality mic pre in the $350 - $500 range? Thanks!

Quick question for everyone...do you think some dents in the grill from stick hits on mics like a 421 will affect it's sound or performance? I'm looking to purchase a few 421's, and I've found some used, but they do have some dents here and there from stick hits. The owner claims they work fine...

Although different mics may be better for every situation, what do you find is your overall favorite mics on drums? Maybe a 57 on a snare, a D2 on toms, etc...also, what do you find yourself using the most often?

I'm currently being offered a pair of these at a reasonable price. Can anyone who has used them tell me if you think they're worth the cash? Also, how do think they compare to the pre's on things like the Presonus Firepod or mid-priced Mackie boards like the VLZ series? Just curious if they'd be...

Using my very low budget gear (haven't bought the studio gear yet), what are some recommendations that everyone would make for improving this guitar sound? It's just some modern riffing without overdubs or keyboards or anything, so it may seem sparse in some parts. I'd probably scale back the...

I'm looking to invest some cash into buying some recording gear relatively soon. At the moment, I'm leaning towards the following: Presonus Firepod 10 Presonus HP4 (for Headphones) FMR Audio RNC Compressor (Likely Rackmounted) Shure SM-57 (4) Shure Beta 52 (1) Oktava MK-012 (2) I'm not sure...

The other guitarist in my band have been messing around with recording with really cheap gear and still trying to get a half way decent tone for what it is. Here's a batch of a few metal type riffs I threw together this morning. It doesn't get much cheaper than the gear used on this...

I listened to this album for the first time in a while, and damn...I had forgotten how great it sounds. The mix is killer, and the Mesa Mark IV on there sounds absolutely crushing. The guitar sound on that album is probably one of my favorite guitar sounds on record. The drum sound is also...

Ok guys, I've been checking out various sound cards and products for home recording lately, and I've been looking at products in roughly the $500 or less range. I've most recently been looking into the M-Audio Delta 1010 or 1010LT or the E-Mu 1820 or E-Mu 1820M. I've heard both great tales of...

The more I play on these amps, the more impressed I am with them. The clean channel just sparkles and is one of the better cleans I've heard on a more modern, high gain type amp. The overdrives are awesome too. I've heard some people complain about the amp's lack of gain...how much gain do you...
