    Wah tone for solos

    Anybody got any tips for getting an awesome wah sound for a solo like in this track off the new Paradise Lost album? Universal Dream - I've got a Dunlop Crybaby from Hell pedal and I can't help but feel I *should* be able to get a similar tone from it, but I can't seem to nail it... my sound...

    keyboard for beginners

    This is kind of what I was thinking. Right now, I reckon shreddy's spot on - I could get a keyboard and just use the quarter-inch outputs to record, and it would do exactly what I need it to, like I said in my first post. But if I'm looking ahead, and thinking about expandability, I reckon I...

    keyboard for beginners

    I'm looking for a bit of guidance on getting started with keyboards. I'm looking for something to add some atmosphere to recorded music - nothing for live gigs, I'm not interested in that. I've decided that I'd really like to incorporate some keyboards, but I'm not sure where to start. I can...

    Compression on extreme vocals

    Thanks... I gave the vocal settings mentioned in that article a try but I'm still peaking on screams with growls quite a bit quieter. I think probably a combination of compression and, as you mention, microphone technique is what I need.

    Compression on extreme vocals

    I have found in the past that when I record vocals, I have problems with the dynamic range in relation to different vocal styles. To be more specific, my deeper death metal vocals do pack some volume, but not as much as higher pitched screams. I reckoned I'd be able to help to sort out the...

    Self "In Flames" Cover

    Not bad at all, sounds pretty good to me! I really like the guitar tone, what pickups/distortion are you using?

    Favorite Album

    That was quite consistent! I'm guessing you hadn't noticed, but you replied to this thread in August 2004 and said TJR and Lord Hypnos. Mine are: Album: The Jester Race Song: I can't pick between Dead Eternity, Zombie Inc. and Goliaths...

    PC Recording and Audio Levels

    Home recordings are always quieter than studio recordings. While I'm no expert, I believe that the mastering process is what helps to get music to the volume you're trying to achieve. As you're obviously aware, turning your inputs too high is going to cause clipping and ruin the recording. So...

    V-Amp Recording

    Hey all. Thanks for all the suggestions. I've been messing around a bit more and I've got a tone which sounds pretty good. My only real complaint is that it still sounds as if the "microphone" is a bit further away from the "amp" than I'd like, but it does sound pretty good. And I'm looking...
