    How White Supremacists Are Using Black Metal to Promote Hate

    Thank you Sir. Now back on BM, I find it hard to dissociate the genre from extremist views. Burzum is actually more than just influential: he and a bunch of other individuals actually created the genre, imbuing it with white supremacist thesis from the very beginning. I don't like bm much but I...

    M-Audio Fast Track USB, Good For The $?

    Very good interface for the price yes, you would probably not regret it. However when I bought mine It was a kind of default move, I think you can get slightly better for a comparable price (presonus comes to mind). I'm not sure the difference is big enough to be worth bothering though.

    Modelling : State of the art?

    So I recently realised that a good modelling rig would be just as good, if not better, than my 100watts tube head... I'd like to play such a rig into one of my guitar cabs. So what's the state of the art? The best out there would probably be the Axe FX + a Matrix FX power amp. That's a...

    Help me with my guitar sound

    Well I'm not sure mic recording is an option in my flat. I could probably get away with "loud TV" volume for short period of time, but it would probably be a bit weak to drive a standard cheap dynamic mic. And I'm not sure a condenser mic would be a good investment for that purpose q: Not to...

    Help me with my guitar sound

    That of course was an excellent idea. I wanted to try something like that but never took the time. So I downloaded Olaf's last year's christmas gift (thanks for the great work!). I don't know if these are the best DI out there but I figured that if it is good enough for him, it sure has to be...

    Help me with my guitar sound

    Yeah I was told that allready. But no, there is no cab sim here. Does it? I mean, why not, I can live with the fact that I need to learn how to mix better. What I would like to avoid is trying to boost a fundamentally flawed signal. I've used the guitarhack impulses from time to time but I...

    Help me with my guitar sound

    not very old. Beside I get the same results with all of my 3 guitar, so I don't think it's guitar-related. All are mahagony solidbodies, a little on the "dark" side then, but I doubt the effect would be so big. Here is a screenshot of various clips I recorded. All of my guitars and some...

    Help me with my guitar sound

    I suspect something of the kind, but I can't wrap my head around all this. Guitar in line-in is not good due to impedance mismatch. that much I can understand (although I used an active EMG set for this test, which are low impedance as far as i can tell) But my standard configuration which...

    Help me with my guitar sound

    Yeah I've been using impulses from time to time but they do not add frequencies I seem to be fundamentally lacking. Yes, been there done that... Results with these techniques were underwhelming at best. What I'd like to know is if, from the sample I posted, you can perceive that lack...

    Help me with my guitar sound

    Hi, Every guitar track I record sound "muffled". I practice by playing covers and sometime record them. I can't get a normal sound as far as meds and trebble are concerned. I did a lot of fooling around, and tested a bit of everything: different sound card (including one guitar multi effect)...
