    Mono is the shitiest diseases ever.

    That sucks dude. I had mono 6 years ago for like 9 months. It seems there's 2 kinds of mono: the kind you have were you feel like shit for a while and the kind I had where you just feel tired and bored with the swollen lymph nodes but it lasts for fucking ever.

    Jesper Strömblad has left In Flames

    :( http://www.inflames.com/main.html Just saw a post on their myspace, he's left "permanently". I recall hearing a while back that he had to leave a tour early/cancel because he's struggling with alcoholism, no doubt that has to do with him leaving. I know In Flames hasn't been at the top...

    How do YOU track metal guitars?

    How loud do you guys usually track rhythm and lead guitars? Peak and RMS wise.

    Reaper vs. Audition

    Hey guys, I've been using Adobe Audition for a while and I've gotten pretty good with it. I've noticed a lot of you here on the forums recommend and use Reaper. How does it compare to Audition (besides being cheaper)? I don't mind learning to use a new DAW, just looking to hear the...

    Looking for a good pod tone... (Dimmu Borgir, new behemoth, etc)

    I'm sorry? I think the guitars on that album sound absolutely crushing. Besides, Nergal is a control freak, there's no way he'd spend all that time shaping the tone and then let someone fuck them up. Where did you hear that Colin re-amped them?

    Looking for a good pod tone... (Dimmu Borgir, new behemoth, etc)

    Yeah there's no way you're gonna get close to the Evangelion sound with a POD. They used a Bogner, a Diezel, and a Sammatone amp together for that album, not to mention the two guys who produced the guitars are insanely good. Sorry for the bummer.

    Audio Technica ATH-M50 vs. Sennheiser HD 280

    Well my main purpose for getting them is to use in my school's studio but I'm not sure how they'll be hooked in to my teacher's equipment. When I'm just working on my own computer I had just figured they'd go through the output of my PC, but this will be my first experience with studio...

    Audio Technica ATH-M50 vs. Sennheiser HD 280

    Yeah I saw a few on Ebay that were around $90-100 with free shipping, looks like that's the way I'll go. Another question, would I benefit much from a dedicated headphone amp with those AT's?

    Audio Technica ATH-M50 vs. Sennheiser HD 280

    Musiciansfriend, Sweetwater, and other similar sites all have them for $160. I'd love to get them new for <$100, any suggestions?

    Audio Technica ATH-M50 vs. Sennheiser HD 280

    Hey fellas, new guy here. I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones to use for mixing and I've narrowed it down to the AT ATH-M50 and the Sennheiser HD 280. The problem is there's nowhere reasonably close by where I can go try either one of those out for myself so I need some help. A couple...
