    EVH 5150 vs. Axe FX 5150

    Both are quite usable tones IMO! The Axe does seem to be less bright than the EVH. I think these two would sound fucking killer tracked together on their own R and L separate tracks in a mix. There doesn't seem to be any artificial sounding qualities on the Axe Fx tone either. Great...

    You'd think after 11 years I'd figure this shit out faster.... (valuable tip inside)

    I have a Marshall 4x12 bottom that I loaded 2 V30's and 2 G12t-75's in an X pattern, soldered everything with heavy guage wire and along with making sure the screws were tighter than shit I ran silicone beads on the speakers and the back panel. I did all this as an experiement and it is a...

    New solo I tracked last night

    I wrote and tracked this solo for a song called "I Wish" last night. This is a song I wrote for the band a couple of months back. I had been improvising the lead until yesterday though.. lol I used my Peavey V-Type with GH active pups . Then I used Reaper 3 to track and used PristineSpace...

    Newer song with the band

    I changed the snare and dropped the hats down. I have to track the bass again coz of the damn fret/string noise. Here it is with the changed snare and hats http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/8/1330598/I_Wish_2nd.mp3

    Newer song with the band

    I tracked this in Reaper 3 and after a late night mixing session, I found the bass guitar is noisy as hell! I'll have to re-do it. Just wanted some words on what is there presently. Thanks http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/8/1330598/I_Wish.mp3

    Reaper users..........

    I checked out an alpha of Reaper 3 and was blown away by it! It is the only DAW I've had to use since or wanted to use for that matter. Reaper 3 is WELL WORTH THE 60 bucks!

    My song "Burbank" mixed and mastered.

    Hey bro, I updated the sound click version above to where I have the drums at currently. I think they are a lot better. Dumping them to single tracks is a must I have now learned.. lol If you want to listen to the other version to compare, it's linked below...

    My song "Burbank" mixed and mastered.

    LOL Well I can tell you now you aren't going to be happy with my attempt at using the native mixer and compressor in AD, tracked to a stereo track. I was thinking I had a solid sounding drum mix and said fuck it when I went to drop AD to separate tracks and just mixed them down to a single...

    My song "Burbank" mixed and mastered.

    Thanks a lot for reminding me about Drumagog. I am having low end issues and I didn't think about sample replacement. I'm very into Reaper 3. It is so much easier on resources than SX3 and Nuendo. Those guys have done their homework in the programming department. My effects chain on...

    My song "Burbank" mixed and mastered.

    I wrote this song to contribute to this years Randy Rhoads CD Project. "Burbank" was tracked and mixed with Reaper 3 and I even mastered it with Reaper. I was really impressed by version 3. I play all guitars and the bass. The drums I did with AD and in Reaper's MIDI editor. I used my...

    Not full blooded metal but I need some feedback on this.

    I am a big Randy Rhoads freak and a friend in England and myself started this RR CD project and now it is an annual thing for us. Well I know this isnt a metal song per se, this is the only forum I ever find great info on tracking heavy music. Any feedback would be appreciated for sure. I...

    My New Custom Ran V as mentioned in G.A.S. thread

    It looks like they nailed what you wanted to get from your sketch! They did a bad ass job on it, the paint is sweet, the lines are great and I like the all ebony fretboard as well.
