    How to market and promote and grow band from home

    Ok. First off thanks man this is incredibly informative! Second, so how then would a self releasing artist get on those festivals? Is it i guess pay the booker way more or they're screwed unless their on a label?

    How to market and promote and grow band from home

    Seriously. Anyone else have any good ideas I'd really be grateful. Those other tips I would have never though of! I was thinking too. Among bands that are all trying to be heard in a sea of bands using social media etc. essentially competing (within their genre) in a sense, I can see why they...

    How to market and promote and grow band from home

    Seriously man thanks for the response. There is so much BS online about how to approach growing and getting your stuff out there and known I appreciate the honest response. Some real good ideas I honestly never considered. Anyone else know any good ideas please feel free to chime in! Even...

    How to market and promote and grow band from home

    What’s up guys Not sure if this is the right subforum to post but- I’m hoping some of you more experienced guys can shed a little bit of light on how to promote and grow a band fan base from home. I know it’s not all done from the home, there are shows and connecting and...

    Bass Pedal Tone Question

    I've actually never considered LP'ing a Clean GTR D.I. that since I keep hearing about the bass being a bass for a reason. How far do you LP it?

    Bass Pedal Tone Question

    You know truth is, I actually agree with you 100% with this statement. I actually used to record bass D.I. and send it to a buss where i'd did general Scoop,HP,LP and cut as needed. It had a better, or if I can say, a much more organic feel to the tone. But after Listening to a few of the guys...

    Bass Pedal Tone Question

    I have a pretty amateurish question about bass pedals. I’ve heard some really great tones using the Tech21 or Sansamp and most recently I played with a Darkglass B7K and it sounded really cool, of course this is outside of a mix. Either way it has me wondering. For bass I have usually 3...

    D.I. box into HI z Input or Interface mic preamp?

    I understand completely guys thank you so much for the info! I guess I'll use my D.I. box into the mic pre cause I trust it's quality more than on my interface.

    D.I. box into HI z Input or Interface mic preamp?

    Trev and Melo that makes 100% sense thank you! My only question would then be, does the Mic pre on my interface color the D.I. signal at all? if so how do I stop that and/or which one would be the best for metal guitars? or would it be just a completely clean preamp?

    D.I. box into HI z Input or Interface mic preamp?

    Hey kim thanks for the reply! what I was mentioning is that I have a hiz input but also my mic preamps have the dual Mic/Line in the same slot you can plug a mic cable or guitar in the center of it. So wouldn't it make more sense to skip the Hiz and skip the mic pre and go into the line input...

    D.I. box into HI z Input or Interface mic preamp?

    Thanks for the response Melodeath. Only thing is I heard by sending an instrument (guitar) cable to the center of the dual Mic/D.I input on an interface it bypasses the mic pre so why would I use an XLR cable if i'm using a D.I. box?

    D.I. box into HI z Input or Interface mic preamp?

    So I recently ordered a little labs redeye 3D. I tried one out the other day and though it didn’t drastically affect my guitar tone it did make a difference. My questions (because it was at a studio downtown so I don’t remember the setup exactly) I know I have a HIz input on my interface but...

    I Made A Not-Shitty, Not-Boring Mixing Course (And Called It "From Shit To Gold")

    I actually watch all of the videos in the course multiple times so I’ll go ahead and give a very brief review. Song selection 7.5/10 Maybe it’s just my taste or the fact that I heard the same riff over 1000 times (not to complain I learned a lot and am really grateful. In fact in...

    Routing, Blending, Phase, stereo plugin issues..

    Hey guys I have a couple of questions I'm hoping some of you can answer or at least have an easier workaround. For the longest time I've had to (i'm still running Slate 3.5) open multiply instances of Kontakt to trigger a 2nd Slate snare or Kick sample I want to blend with the original (or any...

    Has anyone changed their pitch correction preference?

    Like the title I re read a few threads a couple years old just want to see if anyone's changed it up. What you guys are using nowadayz. I used wavestune way back when and it was much less artifacty than Melodyne but this was is melodynes first incarnation.
