    1x12 cab for the bedroom with a 1 watt head. Help a noob out?

    My buddy has the one with a V30 in it, and that cab is killer. For the BEDROOM though, this is what you want. Closed or open back, built-in attenuator to drive your tubes harder, removable front... Panama gear has me by the balls atm :yell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vny130tsvTA

    Your best and worst gear purchases

    Bear in mind, I'm broke as hell and don't do as much metal anymore. Best: Behringer Truth B3031A's - Surprisingly great monitors IME. Definitely noticed my mixes took a leap after I got these to replace my KRK's and Alesis M1 mkII's. Art TubeMP Studio - After I put a Mullard tube in there, it's...

    Presonus Bluetube DP vs NI Komplete Audio 6 buil-in preamps

    If you're looking for a comparable 2-channel tube preamp that is MUCH better, look at Art's MPA preamps

    Presonus Bluetube DP vs NI Komplete Audio 6 buil-in preamps

    I also had a very bad experience with Bluetube preamps. I bought one several years back and the tone was awful, noise was high, and the overall character of the pres just plain sucked (My Behringer Eurodesk from back then had better pres... and better by a lot). I sold it within a week.

    how do you get the loudness when mastering?

    Having a well-balanced mix (both in terms of spectral balance and dynamics), and then using the right amount of saturation and compression/limiting. That's it really.

    Seriously underrated plugin!

    WTB broken Ziljian cymbals if you have any.

    I know you said Zildjian, but I have 3 Sabian AAXplosion crashes for you if you're interested. Can't remember the sizes... I think 16", 17", and 18"

    Waves L1 Limiter praise?

    Haven't ever used it as a final limiter, but it really shines for the aforementioned bass, vocals, and overheads
