    Floyd Rose springs tension

    I have 52's on my floyd rose tuned a step down. The hard part is getting equal tension or pull on both the springs and the strings. Usually I will block off the tremolo, tune to what I want, set spring tension to where it barely lifts off the block and there you have it. I have 3 heavy springs...

    Totalitarianism in effect?

    Total violation of the bill of rights. Very disturbing, but not totalitarianism. We still have the freedom to do things that other countries can not do, like shit in a clean toilet, much less have a toilet. As a veteran of the ARMY, I would gladly still live here, where I can bitch, not...

    Spectrum Analyzers

    Thanks for the info and the cool guide for bass and kicks! That definately helped me, Im using qspectrum and the standard one that comes in reaper. Will start doing some comparisons and what not to get familiar with the vst.

    Stratolike Power Metal (Need feedback)

    I like it! I dont listen to strat. at all, but to other power metalz, Production wise it sounds good to me. Not a big fan of the same same vox, but he executed it well. Leads sound fantastic, all playing is pretty tite. I like teh keyboards, reminds me of Tony Macalpine type runs and phrasing...

    Spectrum Analyzers

    Hey all. After reading another post I want to ask about spectrum analyzers. Im pretty sure Im not the only one missing out on this tool. Want to know the basics on one. 1. What to be looking for. 2. What the colors and the position of those colors mean. 3. What to do with that information...

    SOS! Mix not "translating" well on some systems!

    I am having this problem too. I am going to address sound treating my room very soon. I hope that this will at least help some. I am using mackie mr5 monitors. "2. Use an analyzer if you are not." I have slapped one on before. I have no clue what to be looking for. Any links I can refer to...

    Sample CD Recommendations?

    Hmm. Only thing that comes to mind is loopmasters and east west. They have a few packs that might come in handy.

    New mix, opinions anyone?

    Well it is a powermetal song, written by Wojtek Lisicki from Luciferion, and with the vocals its pretty epic. And I think that is what the album is about, Highlander, more or less. Youtube link

    New mix, opinions anyone?

    Are the horns really that up front still? At that section it was a different synth, not a sampler. I could use some tips for these horns at this point, I havent been able to find any resources on how to get them to sit better. I did apply some EQ, it is hipassed near the midrange, slight...

    Automation for solos? Or other tricks

    I can think maybe Ducking? I would just automate volume levels for what needs to come down, and not try to boost the solo volumes. Automation in reaper is a cinch.

    Please check out my mix and post your thoughts - Thanks

    I like it! Great stuff. The drums are a lil low, mainly the snare. In the beginning where the guitars are solod they are quite edited, then when the drums and bass kick in you can hear the guitar noises where the edited parts were. I would prolly edit those the same as the intro. Everythig else...
