    Is the latest crop of amp sims like kemper and TSE etc killing the art of micing an amp ?

    Well maybe he's not from the US. I'm from Germany and a Mark V 112 combo is almost $4000 here.

    Did a new mix of a song of my own band for a video! (Hardcore)

    Hey guys, I did a new mix for an older song of my own band. We modified the song a bit by adding some guest vocals (John Connor of Dog Eat Dog). The video was filmed at a live show by some SAE video students and later synchronized to the song. Our drummer was playing to a clicktrack. Check...

    I actually think I learned a lot about micing real amps BECAUSE I got a Kemper. Once you really dive in the profiling process and try to catch the essence of your amps (or the amps of the bands you're recording) you will start to experiment a lot with micing techniques.

    New Distressor plugin

    I read that it will be a native plugin, which is a little weird considering the official Fatso plugin is UAD-only

    Reamping Problem

    Well I'm no electician, but I've been told this more than once. Don't know if there is a difference between US and EU electricity/ground systems, but let's just agree that it's not good and (as you wrote) even illegal to disconnect the ground on the power cable. Just do it on the audio cable and...

    Reamping Problem

    Of course this is not likely, but if you get a short inside of the amp involving the enclosure it is possible

    Reamping Problem

    NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER DO THAT!!! If you're killing the ground on the power chord, you're risking your life! If the amp malfunctions somehow you can have full mains voltage on your guitar strings! You can disconnect the ground wire inside of the audio connectors. This is equal to a ground...
