    Nick and I are both managed by the same guy at Thrust Management, and I heard from him that Nick is indeed working on this record. Congrats man, it's a great opportunity.

    Sharing Blackbird Studio D pics and SNR/Kick SAMPLE!

    I just used these in a new production of mine blended with some Slate and real kit samples. Really great stuff! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1868665/Refinement_MasterMP3.mp3

    Recording ONLY Cymbals for our debut record..! Opinions?

    Thanks man! I just beat detective the overhead tracks and get it all locked in. Nothing too fancy.

    Recording ONLY Cymbals for our debut record..! Opinions?

    I do something similar when bands are short on time. I just program the shells instead of having them play on an e-kit, but it's kind of the same premise. If you plan on doing heavy sample replacement I see no major disadvantage, and you get really clean cymbal tracks. Here's a track I did with...

    Blind A/B Comparison (Guitar Tone Poll)

    Hey Greg, I agree that they're both a bit bloated. This sound is actually what inspired our conversation before. I mentioned the signal chain above, but it's Radial ProRMP>EVH 5150 III>Avatar 4x12 (V30/GB)>SM57>Golden Age Pre73(on cleanest settings). The amp settings were red channel gain on 6...

    Blind A/B Comparison (Guitar Tone Poll)

    :lol: I know, it's pretty worn out. I figure everybody knows it well now, and at least it's not the Rose of Sharyn DIs...

    Blind A/B Comparison (Guitar Tone Poll)

    Well, since there's not a ton of activity I'll reveal that it was a speaker change. Same mic placement, mic, pre-amp, etc... Clip A is a Greenback, and Clip B is a Vintage 30. The entire chain was Radial Pro RMP>5150 III>Avatar 4x12 Contemporary>SM57>Golden Age Pre73.

    Blind A/B Comparison (Guitar Tone Poll)

    Hey guys, I just got a new piece of gear for my guitar chain, and I figure it's a great time to put a go-to piece of most guitar rigs against a less popular alternative. The DIs are from Mago and Lasse's backing track, and the head is an EVH 5150 III, and that's all the information I'll give...

    Confused about order in vocal chain

    +1 to that. I'm usually somewhere around 150-175 for screams and 100-120 for cleans.

    Need opinions on new "Kicks". Samples inside

    Possible kick 1 is my favorite.

    Confused about order in vocal chain

    That looks like a pretty good chain. I move saturation before and after compression depending on how much of the grit I want brought out. I also never print time-based effects. My chain looks something like this: 1. EQ 2. De-Esser 3. CLA-2A 4. RVox 5. Pod Farm Preamp Sim (Neve Model) for...

    Studio Snake?

    I got a 100 footer for my studio from Seismic Audio. The price seemed good, and I've been using it for a year with no complaints about the quality. http://www.seismicaudiospeakers.com/Snake-Cables-s/8.htm
