No shit I want that shirt too! I am currently gigging a lot with my band (big record deal, too! with all the problems, too! :D) and that shirt is a must have. How do get shirt?

A copy of Vista Ultimate SP1 arrived some days ago and I've installed it on my MacBook Pro and MacPro (Bootcamp :)). It don't love Mac or Pc. I just use computers..I have to say Vista has been working nicely and Pro Tools HD is better on it than it was on XP (sleeker interface, faster to...

Everything went fine..weird thing I had to plug the Core card alone and turn the computer on, otherwise I would only get a black screen. With the Core card in I installed PT, rebooted, installed latest CS version and rebooted. PT was working fine so I turned the computer off and installed the...

I've done some last-resort "amp-like" bass tracks (along with the DI being recorded, of course) with my Morley JD-10. I have to say it works in getting that grind that makes the difference on smaller speakers.

I've just completed part 1 of the upgrade process..installing Vista. Installation did not go through (fatal errors during the end of the installation process) twice..based on my now long experience I thought some devices might cause the problem: I unplugged everything, PCI cards included (UAD...

You're right and if you need help or want to get a 2nd point of view always keep in mind I am another hell of a PT user :) I am going to have some spare time tomorrow and I am going to try installing Vista on my computer in the studio. The latest build or Vista Ultimate just arrived in my...

Compression is also mandatory for the DI and AMP track for me..usually around 12dB, more or less. I also compress the Bass Buss again. Two key factors in nailing the bass is limit the sucker and take care of all the release times in your compressors (DI, AMP, Buss). When the three releases...

I know PT LE is a different beast but I've had not a single problem either on Mac (10.4.11) or PC (XP SP2) on my MacPro, using PT HD 7.4 - I do know that, despite the initial reports, Pro Tools 7 is not fully compatible with Windows Vista. Pro Tools 8 is. This can be a PITA but I am thinking...

SansAmp could definitely work but for more "polite" alternative rock/post rock bite you might want to try iZotope Trash. I don't like iZotope products but Trash can work really well to get just a little of that "orange-y" bite. I use it a lot when I only have the bass DI track and want to give...

You definitely got a lot of useful advices here, I wanna give my thumbs up to the posts above mine. Now, if I had to try and add something new: did you check if any IRQ sharing is happening on your computer? I think I might just start with this question, then depending on your answer I will go...

TL|Space was a no-brainer for me considering that it's the only convolution reverb plugin that runs in TDM. I can set up guitar cab impulses in it and have a near-zero latency regardless of how big the session is. Great for taking out of the equation that "I would play like Brett Garsed but your...

yes you can use a VST version with a wrapper (FXpansion makes one vst-2-rtas adapter). VST wrapping has improved a lot and I have no problems with the VST plugins I wrapped. (been using them for months now on a daily basis). I own TL|Space, you can get very cheap licenses for it on eBay. I use...

I am quite a heavy VST-2-RTAS user myself..I must say I am having no problems with the plugins I've converted in PT HD 7.4.

I have never "really" used Reason but I have to say on the software-side it's more straight-ahead "synth rack" go-to software ever. Forget about the sequencer, detach it and use it as a virtual rack. The sound modules and the effects units *along with the catchy interface that subliminally gives...
