    Acoustic Treatment Before And After Comparison

    Hey all, So I just moved into my new house and in doing so, I decided to put together a comparison between before and after acoustic treatment in my home studio. I've included the raw files from my field recorder in the video description so you can play around with it and do some analysis. I'd...

    [Tutorial] Input/Output Mapping In Reaper

    Hey all, Been super busy with moving to my new house among other things but I made some time for a quick tutorial. This may be a somewhat basic concept, but I have a feeling a lot of people overlook it just like I did for a long time. This is a sample tutorial on how to map your inputs and...

    Recommended Acoustic Drumkits

    Thanks for the recommendations guys. I've seen some of the nicer kits (Truth, Dark Horse etc.) I'm just not sure I could justify them since I don't record bands too much (just friends and myself). With that being said I'll definitely check out some of the Tama and Zildjian stuff

    Recommended Acoustic Drumkits

    Hey all, In the peak of electronic drum sampling and programming, I wanted to get everyone's 2 cents on recommended kits. I'm moving into a new place next month and I have a sweet basement that I plan on converting into a live drum room. I'm not looking to break the bank, however I'd like have...

    Best metal amp for 1000-1500usd

    I'll never not be a fan of 5150's, and they make a 2x12 of it. It's one of the most used amps on records and has stood the test of time for tours as well. Although I will say I'll never sell my Kemper (if you can afford one). You'd either have to run it directly into a sound board/PA live or buy...

    Horrendous 130hz Resonance In Guitars

    Hey all, Didn't have time to put together A/B tests but I played with the new strings last night and most of the resonant peaks went away after changing strings. It's not completely gone as I expected because of the nature of the chord I'm playing but most of it is gone. I'm going to attribute...

    Horrendous 130hz Resonance In Guitars

    One other thing to note, it seems the resonance is the worst when I play the C# chord (just a barred chord at the fourth fret on the top 3 strings tuned in drop A). I haven't tested to see if it moves around when I drop to the A# as they might be a bit more telling of what's going on

    Horrendous 130hz Resonance In Guitars

    Glad I'm not the only one with this issue. I have a set of D'Addario strings (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YJJ0K0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on the way. I've always had really really good experiences with D'Addario so perhaps that's part of the issue. Otherwise, I'll...

    Horrendous 130hz Resonance In Guitars

    I changed strings recently to these GHS boomer strings before tracking, perhaps that has something to do with it? I'll see if it's wound weird at the top when I get home as well These are the strings, perhaps that's where they get there name 'Boom' from...

    Horrendous 130hz Resonance In Guitars

    Hey guys, I started tracking something today and I can't stop hearing this absolutely horrible resonance at 130hz in both the DI's and reamps. I downloaded a few other peoples DI's and they aren't nearly as bass heavy as mine. I tried different picks, different methods of capture the DI...
