    Corvus Engineering DI+Reamp Boxes. (Have some ???s for youz gaise)

    This sounds like an insanely great product and an awesome audio engineering solution. Keeping the simultaneous reamp ability as an add-on option would be great. I think that the only reason you aren't gathering as much interest as you might hope is because the people on this board most...

    Don't want to be a "bedroom warrior" anymore

    Hi Jarkko thanks for the reply. Here is my retort, I apologize if the quotes are formatted incorrectly; I have not responded to this many before. I agree that driving yourself into a financial criss is indeed a bad idea. My advice for StabbinCabin is to become motivated and start recording...

    Don't want to be a "bedroom warrior" anymore

    StabbinCabin, You will never be truly happy in life if you do not make a living doing what you love. This is the absolute most important realization that anyone can have. Is living your dream more difficult then having a ghostlike existence working a 9 to 5 job just to barely get by? Hell...

    Best orchestral metal production?

    I'm going to get severe hate for this but I just remembered that Cradle of Filth's album "Damnation and a Day" featured a real 40 piece Budapest orchestra and 32 voice choir. This production cost Sony tens of thousands of dollars and sold maybe 40,000 copies resulting in Cradle of Filth being...

    When do you drop things to be serious with music?

    This fucking this. Seriously one of my friend's is in an active band on Solid State and is broke as shit. You cannot climb too much higher than that as far as metal/hardcore labels go. I constantly hear in real life and see on these boards mentions of people wanting to "get signed" and...

    I really need your advice on this - chargeing for files?

    Do not under any circumstance give them the project files for free. Seriously, do not even entertain this thought at all. You wrote, mixed, and mastered a song that the band have now made a significant amount of money from. They might also make more if they have successful tours and radio...

    Need mid-priced DI chain suggestions

    Apogee interfaces are actually made to only run on Mac's. http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/duet2.php Here is my opinion. Honestly, I think that this whole idea of getting a band setup with proper DI>pre>interface is going to be an unending pain in the ass, especially when it comes...

    Cubase/Superior 2/Library of the Extreme (MIDI) Workflow Tutorial Video

    Cool tutorial man. It would be sweet to see a combination of using the midi loops from that collection along with hand programming/altering the midi loops in the Cubase drum map view. btw your youtube channel link in your sig is broken and should instead be...

    Quad tracking question

    On the topic of quad tracking with DI's: Do you record four separate DI's of the same song then re-amp each one separately? Or Do you record four separate DI's then copy and paste these over into one single DI track then re-amp this one track? If neither of these are correct...

    Anyone tried the Akai MPK series controllers?...

    Hey Dave, programming by mouse isn't necessarily better. I just wasn't as stoked about playing pretend drums as i hoped to be. I can see how using one could be an improvement for less robotic drums. I just did not enjoy using a usb controller for drums and didn't ultimately really see the...

    Anyone tried the Akai MPK series controllers?...

    I'm probably going to get some hate here but I'm going to post my opinion regardless. I owned an Akai MPD-32 for a minute but really did not enjoy it for programming drums as much as I thought. I used this mostly with Reason at the time. With controllers, I feel that there is a certain amount...

    Macbook Pro // Glossy vs. Antiglare

    I have owned Mac book Pro's with both types of screens. This dilemma pretty much comes down to one question. Will you be using your computer outside in the sun often? If the answer is yes, then go anti glare. If the answer is no, then go glossy. Possible window reflections can be...

    New Macbook Pro's

    Yeah, that was my immediate response as well. No hassle latency free recording will be such a welcomed change.
