    PC Desktop to Mac Laptop

    Hey so after a series of events where my desk and my mouse and other external peripherals got broken/messed up, I've given up on my Six-Core soundproof Desktop because I dont want to maintain and upgrade monitors, peripherals, and 'ergonomic' solutions. I'm kind of broke so I've been selling it...

    Hardware for Building a legitimate Electric Drum System

    Recently I had a band come by to record some stuff and though the programmed drums came out well, in the process they were complaining (sorta) about me lacking something playable. Heres my problem... First, I'm short on money I'd need for a studio that has good enough acoustic treatment...

    Better VST for the price - Reaper 3.75 or Mixcraft 5 or Other?

    Reaper kills Mixcraft in terms of how professional it is. But Mixcraft includes a few more extras. Though i think Mixcrafts extra stuff sucks. Reapers unbeleiveably much cheaper too. It works so well, especially for Metal Purposes. Get it haha

    Post-Hardcore(ish) Mix, First 'Client' Mix, Opinions Needed

    Ya i dont like the fact of how the singer was a little too dynamic it makes it harder too mix. He insisted on using the Stedman Popper Stop, and taking the foam off the mic (SM7B). But the screamer used the foam, backed away, and i turned down the pre cuz he is probly the loudest screamer ill...

    Post-Hardcore(ish) Mix, First 'Client' Mix, Opinions Needed

    Nice quote thats hilarious haha. I think i figured it out. I changed the reverb space to a Plate as opposed to a thin hall. Thickened it. Figured out that the kick was on a low end boost the way i had it. Defaulted it. Changed the cabs and micing to Mesa 4x12 with 421 mics. The sounds kicking me...

    Post-Hardcore(ish) Mix, First 'Client' Mix, Opinions Needed

    Alright the singer didnt want much reverb at all but ima add a little more so it doesnt sound so raw. And is the kick really that muddy or is it just buried in the mix?cuz here i thought Steven Slates 'Kick 10' was the ultimate kick hahahah. Oh and.... How do i bring up the guitars presence...

    Post-Hardcore(ish) Mix, First 'Client' Mix, Opinions Needed

    Hey everyone. I just finished (at least the majority of) recording this band yesterday, though I only got like 5 hours with them, which did include a rough mix and master for them to bring home. I have a few re-records on my mind for some parts. Luckily, they were pretty good at the recordings...

    recomend me strings for drop-b

    Ya I bet. But when i play in that low tuning it feels a lot beefier to me. Maybe not as powerful tho. The singing range was actually one of the big things that made me switch tho. Even tho one might wonder who the hell sings when playing in Drop A XD

    recomend me strings for drop-b

    Hah so yesterday..... I almost bought the DR Drop-Tuning megaheavy strings at .65 low e. Guitarcenter didnt have them tho so they gave me GHS Boomers, the thickest ones at a .70 low e. It sounds amazingly heavy but be warned if your used to strings less thick 1.The .70 was a bitch to put on, it...

    Question about my Guitar...

    alriight i just installed some .11-.70s. They sound fucking brutal. But the 70 was soooo hard to get installed. Is there a reason to be worried about the neck? 25.5? that was a jump from .46 to .70 so IDK what to think
