    New impulses: Rivera K212, Fender Frontman 60B, and V30 "fixer" inside!

    because it's an EQ, it doesn't really matter. As long as it happens after any overdrive/distortion/saturation. So after amp simulation. You can use it through a real V30 cab and get the benefits of it there too, since it's not a correction of a specific cab or a specific mic! As long as it isn't...

    New impulses: Rivera K212, Fender Frontman 60B, and V30 "fixer" inside!

    okay, so bassically it smoothens out the frequency curve of V30 speakers. If you check out V30 speaker graphs, you'll see that there are certain narrow peaks and dips all over the place. This correction filter simply lowers the peaks and raises the dips, and generally smoothens out the response...

    New impulses: Rivera K212, Fender Frontman 60B, and V30 "fixer" inside!

    I spent the day reworking my impulses so they are all completely phase coherent, and I've created a "correction" impulse response for V30 speakers. I'm really excited, as I've wanted to do this for a long time! These are the impulses I use myself all the time for everything I record, and I...

    I made some IR's of my Rivera K212 cab!

    I'm thinking you guys will appreciate having more stuff in your library: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3782113/MFK%20Impulses%202.0.zip Included are impulses made of said cab, using my new SM57 (about time!) and my Se X1, and a couple using my TLM MT85 MKII. I also made a couple of my cheap...

    Just made a batch of impulses of my Rivera K212!

    Haha! I demand clips, fellas! I wouldn't expect anyone here to like it, since it's an off-brand condenser on an unpopular cab, recorded in some dude's apartment :p I love how it sounds myself, and i actually found a use for the cab-from-kitchen impulses: blend them in just a tiiiiiny bit to...

    Just made a batch of impulses of my Rivera K212!

    edit: i just debugged these, as they hadn't been cut down to the right length! i also added a flat impulse of my kitchen! https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3782113/MF_Kitten_Rivera_K212_Impulses_V2.zip it's my first ever set of impulses. they are simple and raw, which is what i tried for :) try them...

    EQ issues...never enough treble...help?

    i´ve had the same problem, but i figured it out! it´s not about how much treble you put in there, it´s about which part of the treble area you accentuate. how are you raising the treble? a bump in one area, or a high shelf filter? try making the kick high end focus onto one area. maybe even...

    A little something about gain-staging, for those who don't know

    i´m ALMOST getting this, but i´m not quite there... which input are we talking about keeping down here? if i have a firewire interface with a mic plugged into it, recording a snare or a cab, then the mic preamp "gain" knob on the interface should be turned down until the track in the DAW...

    Multiple bass tones in one song?

    both bass and guitar players change pickup positions and technique throughout songs, so why the hell not?

    Mac Pro or iMac?

    find out which is the latest version of the mac pro, then buy the cheapest one of that model (low specs and all that stuff) used. then upgrade it to be what you wanted in the first place, or even better, for less money. that´s my plan in the future. i have an imac myself, and while they are...

    Tell me what you think of this mix, insane acoustic drum orgy, MESA Mk IIC+ Etc......

    it sounds good overall, but i kinda feel like the drums are a bit tubby. they have a "dubbadubba" kinda sound to them. i´d do a tiny little bit of lowering in the mids (low mids?). then i´d add a teeny bit of presence and do a teeny bit of manhattan compression. all of them very carefully of course.

    Do you think about the lowest fundamental note?

    considering Meshuggah actually tune the bass UP a seminote, i´m pretty sure you´re hearing more fundamentals in their mix than in most metal. i think fundamentals have no real importance or value over other parts of the frequency. there are way more frequencies in a bass that are important, and...

    Frozen (Madonna Cover, 5150/5150 III/real drums) right way?

    shit, the nostalgia! i listened to the original when i was a kid :P the Bleed part was unexpected :P the snare sounds kinda cold and simple, maybe. and the kick sounds a little too scooped and "in there" to my ears. it´s a good mix, though not "sophisticated and expencive". i approve :)

    Boot Camp?

    i run windows xp using boot camp for gaming purposes, and it´s the best "pc" i´ve ever had :D sadly, my firewire interface won´t work with it. i read up on it, and apparently it´s got something to do with the firewire chipset not working across to the windows platform...

    studio monitor sounds b0rked, help me!?

    i´ve tried switching cable sides (entire cables, interface ends only, speaker ends only), and no matter which order i do it in, and no matter hich combination of connections i use, it´s always the one speaker. they are both set to the same volume on the back (they are active speakers), which is...
