    Floyd rose vs hard tale (string tension)

    I suppose. Just don't understand why anyone would want their electric to feel like an acoustic.

    Floyd rose vs hard tale (string tension)

    How tight do you want it? Electrics aren't supposed to play like acoustics.

    Toontrack Metal month 2014

    Yeah a discount for people that already bought MM would have been nice. Not about to spend $180 on raw samples when I'm already pretty happy with my mixes.

    Could use some help with how to shape this tone

    Just sounds like you need a noise gate. Playing high gain without one is ridiculous.

    Quadtracking, really worth it?

    From my experience it depends on how technical the music is. For slower stuff quad tracking is nice but for more technical music you're going to get tighter results dual tracking. Last interview I watched with Sneap he said lately he has just been "turning up two".

    Tips for editing guitars?

    Don't understand why you would ever have to edit guitars if you're playing tight and using a noise suppressor.

    90s metal production

    Everybody is doing the flat midrange thing these days. Albums these days are cleaner but have no character. I prefer the 90's style.

    Problem with ugly hiss/noise/fuzz with high treble guitar sounds

    Notch a couple db from the 3-4k area and boost a couple db in the higher frequencies.

    Do you use a noise suppressor pedal (eg Boss NS-2) in your guitar recording chain?

    A good noise suppressor doesn't degrade tone. Going in and editing guitars is not only a pain in the ass but makes it feel even more artificial in my opinion.

    Do you use a noise suppressor pedal (eg Boss NS-2) in your guitar recording chain?

    Of course. If you're playing high gain without a noise suppressor you're doing it wrong.

    Cannibal Corpse recording new album!

    Strange that thy are going with a metalcore producer. Rutans productions are top notch.

    Northlane short test mix

    Not feeling the guitar tone. The guitar sounds like a bass guitar and the whole mix sound unnaturally scooped in the mids.
