    ENGL E530 in the loop of a JMP1?

    Running a preamp into the effect loop return of an amp is pretty common though, it's the way a lot of people run their preamp through the power section of an amp. I wouldn't run the effect send into the input of a pre either though. I'd get an AB pedal and run the 2 preamps into that with the...

    Looping Software?

    Cheers for all the suggestions. I'm going to check out as many as I can. I think one of my friends has a basic version of Abelton and I'll see if that will do the job, and I'm going to get the Riffworks program too. I'm thinking I can rig up something for doing changes if I need to, but a...

    Looping Software?

    I'd want to be able to do it with a click or a button press so that I could do a live take of something and play over straight away, like you can with the foot pedals. I know how to loop a part in my DAW but it would be unsuitable. Here's a quick example of the kind of thing I'm talking about...

    Looping Software?

    Is there some software out there that allows real time control of loops? Maybe a plug-in or a standalone program? Basically giving the same functionality of a loop pedal like the Digitech Jamman or the Boss RC stuff. I want to try writing some stuff with a looper because it has so much...

    Andy sneap forum band "the unrest"

    The song is really good. I love some of the mixes you guys are coming out with. I'm going to give this one a go when I get the files.

    How would I...

    The way were told to do it is to record a bang- something like a balloon bursting or 2 pieces of wood slapped off each other. Our lecturer did it this way and in a class put the impulse over it and it seemed to work fine.

    I pretty sure the engineer made a mess of this

    yeah Ireland sucks for decent metal production- there's some seriously quality bands but no studios to do them justice- one band from klkenny went to france to record and got the best production i've ever heard on on irish bands cd. Problem is there's no money in it- every parish/town/city has...

    Recording guitar with a Boss GT8

    Well I gave it a go. I'll have to tweak the settings a bit more to get a really nice tone but it sounds promising. Clean and distortion with impulses sounded good enough. I recorded over backing tracks and with a metronome but I had pretty bad latency issues. Anyone know whats up here? I only...

    Agile are a brand of guitar. They are regular guitars, just a certain make.

    My friend is getting drums today, what should he get

    I'd be less inclined to go for an electric kit right off the bat. I've no problem with them but they are better for drummers who can already play to practice on, as opposed to learning straight away on one. Learning on acoustic will give you much more of a sense for feel and dynamic. My kit at...

    What do you tune your guitars to?

    I play in standard on my main 7 string and my 6 strings. I have 2 6 strings for low tuning though and they are in C and C# at the moment.

    Recording guitar with a Boss GT8

    I've got access to a friends one of these and want to see what results I can get from it. Anyone here use one to record before? Which out did you use? I think its got a SPDIF that I can use but I want to try some other things with it too. I'm going to try recording the mono out and putting...

    how do you take care of your ears?

    I suppose take more breaks while your mixing. Just stop and take 15min out to give yourself a rest. Maybe you've a wax build up too, you could get that stuff to clean them ouot and you might notice a difference.
