    In studio with George Massenburg - Ep. 1 : miking the drums

    Honestly, I've even gone up to 800hz for low passing overheads. It really depends on the source, and what the mix demands. I also like to use stereo room mics, so I tend to use those for the body of the drum and cymbal sound, and just use the overheads to accentuate the higher frequencies and...

    Presidential candidate: Vermin Supreme

    Didn't notice that! Right before that, he called him "former governor Romney." That sure was quick. What I love about the guy is that he's not only making fun of how serious the politicians take themselves, but he's also making fun of the conspiracy nuts at the same time.

    30 Seconds to Mars Snare sound on the song a beautiful life advice

    I think a few of those songs off that album were in that game rockband. If you have the program Audacity, it can open mogg files from the game, and it allows you to listen to individual tracks, like guitar, snare, vocals, bass, etc. If you search google, you can probably find what you are...

    Please help some buddies by voting

    Man, that verse riff is such a rip off Alice in Chains - Check My Brain. I'll still vote though.

    How often are your bowel movments?

    I just wanted to start a thread where everyone can feel free to leave as little, or as much detail as they want about how good their pooing has been. It's probably not the most mature discussion here, but I think it's a very overlooked subject to talk about. Lately, I'm been having about one...

    Metal Mix (Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, etc) - Opinions Needed!

    The ride almost sounds like a click track. Needs more sustain, way less attack. Otherwise fantastic mix, I wouldn't change anything.

    Bands that JUST DON'T GET IT

    It's always a good idea to make sure everything is understood upfront between both parties. I'll often tell bands,"I've got a lot of other projects i'm working on, but everything should be done within a week or so." I also make the band pay upfront for flat rate "per-track" fee for...

    Tube amps are noisy as @%$#!

    I have the regular decimator, and love it. Usually, I run the reamp box>tube screamer>decimator>amp input. Any additional noise from the mic signal I edit manually. Try what professor lamp says. Thats basically the same thing as a noise gate, only done manually. Hell, maybe even slap a vst noise...

    Help me choose...

    I haven't tried their UA compressors, but I have the mastering suite and the only thing I use from it is the Fairchild compressor: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/trsingles/moreinfo/moreinfo2.php Excellent for drums, vocals, or master bus compression imo.

    Limiter on Rhythm Guitar; Do's and Don'ts

    L1 last in the chain shaving off about -2db on the chunky riffs. Release around -10.0 to -100.0 This gives the drums more headroom for master bus compression, which helps them cut through the mix better. TRY IT!

    5150 Clean Mod Kit and Dummy Loads

    Sounds very interesting. Well recorded sound clips and a video tutorial of how to install it would be mandatory before I would consider purchasing it. Price would be dependent on how good the clean channel sounds. If it's only "better" than the original 5150 clean, then $50-100. If it's an...

    Starting a ridiculous thrash/hardcore band where every song is about lifting weights
