    Any info on the Chango guitar/bass tone?

    Information concerning either the bass or the guitar tones would be appreciated. I'd like to try my hand at making a GOOD Chango style mix. Anyone have good starting points? Decided not to post this on the Sneap forum cuz I didn't feel like getting ass reamed lol

    Anyone else experiencing gain issues when reamping?

    When I reamp the i seem to lose my desired gain. I'll play my guitar directly from my amp and it sounds like I want it. Yet when I reamp DI's through the same settings I lose the gain. Anyone else have this? How do fix? (other than compensating by turning the gain up).

    Phase problems; what's stopping you from manually aligning the track after the fact?

    Bored and thought of this little for instance/question. Say you've got two mics on a cab (or even an elaborate drum mic set up) and phase problems are happening. What's the harm in zooming in on the 2nd track and aligning it to match the 1st track after you've recorded? Sure you should...

    Having a hard time with my re-stringing. Helps meee

    For the life of me I can never get a good looking restringing technique. Can anyone point me to some good articles or videos about it or explain to me how you personally do it? I can do it, it just doesn't look as tight as it should and I need help perfecting it.

    Ambient Djent school project lawl

    hey guys! I was assigned a "creative project" at school and couldnt come up with anything. Its pretty much a bullshit way for the Instructor to give us a final grade and still not set any "rules". So I was monkeying around on my DAW and things (like usual) and decided to right an ambient djent...

    Need help deciding which of these tones to go with. Help me decide :)

    It comes down to the Criminal head in POD farm vs my mic'd 5150ii through a peavey XXX 4x12 cab. I know the default answer around here will always be to choose a real head over a fake one. But listen to them closely and tell me which one sounds better. Tell me which one FEELS better. Tell me...

    Crit this mix/mobile Dropbox test

    http://db.tt/CiaOCO79 Just got mobile Dropbox so I'm testing to see of a link will work in a forum setting. I'm asking two things: If you can actually open the link successfully, And how the mix inside sounds. I've been using new samples and processing techniques and personally I...

    Incredible clipage, yet still quiet. Why?

    Why does my DAW show clipping when the track is still quieter than commercial releases? Upon export, I'll get an alert pop up that says "your track is clipping by 2dbs (or whatever it may be)" but even if I leave it that way there's no audio clipping and it's still not as loud as id like it to...

    Can someone clear up for me what exactly an Exciter does?

    ***Mandatory "I used the search function but nothing I needed came up" Disclaimer*** I'm playing with the One Knob Exciter. Am I correct in thinking it takes certain frequencies and boosts (excites?) them in a positive way? If so, how does it know which frequencies to boost? I just need...

    Stupid question about over-compression

    I'd post a clip but I'm not able to right now. So I'll explain the best I can. I know my track is over compressed because I can hear pumping slightly, especially in the cymbals. My question to you guys is how do I remove the pump? I'm compressing at 2.2:1 with a 30ms attack and a 100ms...

    Peavey on one side, Orange on the other. No click, check this out.

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52578704/Mise%20en%20Scene%20donevox.mp3 Band came in wanting a very natural/live sound. So we mic'd up a couple different heads and did the drums on an E-kit which I sample replaced with slate/sturgis. Check it out and tell me what you think and what you would...

    Just visited the sevenstring.org forum for the first time...

    It's like the twilight zone compared to this forum. Not many AEs recording live drums/cabs on that forum... Anyone else's thoughts?
