    Tuning Shootout

    Hey fellow Sneapsters. I've been playing around lately with several new tunings(for me) and I'm somewhat at a stand still about which one I like better. I've played around with about 4 different tunings. There are things I like about each one, but I just can't decide. I was wondering if I could...

    Intel CPU question for the tech dudes

    That would work pretty I'd imagine. I don't really know, though. I've got a ssd, but it's still sitting in the package. (It's for my wife's build). You could go with a ssd/ then upgrade to a quad, then run 64 bit. And if you're feeling that still isn't enough dump some RAM in it. That right...

    Intel CPU question for the tech dudes

    How new is the computer? If you're running DDR2 RAM it may be time for an upgrade. I don't have any experience with Cubase, but I'd imagine if your CPU supports it, maybe try installing Windows 7 64bit and then the 64bit version of Cubase and your plugs. That may help with some things. But...

    Intel CPU question for the tech dudes

    Not really. It might be a little bit better at multi-tasking, but honestly, with those clock speeds I doubt you'd see a significant jump. If your board/wallet supports it, I highly recommend an i5. I've got one in mine and I run EZD, 4-6 podfarms, 7 synths, and a shit ton of other plugins on at...

    Why I have come to hate PT. Advice for new DAW?

    Like a lot of others in this thread, I'd definably recommend Reaper. It's fully customizable. I've seen skins that change it to look like PT or Cubase or whatever. Works flawlessly for me.

    Apparitions album stems, mix anyone?

    Really like the vibe you're going for man. If you like mine, I'd be more than happy to do the whole demo for you for free. I enjoy mixing and I'm just looking to build my name and chops. I went for a more heavy feel. Also, I really like your voice. You've got some pipes...

    Apparitions album stems, mix anyone?

    I'm definitely interested. I'll throw my hat into the ring with a mix later today.

    Help with guitar tone

    I agree with everything this guy said. Seriously, I used to be a major Podfarm endorser/fanboy, but when I built my new machine I severe compatibility problems with it, which Line6 did not help with at all except for giving me vanilla answers that I had already tried a hundred times (I'm an IT...

    Help with guitar tone

    Could you lower the volume to match the volume of the original setup you had? That way you could compare and see it is volume or if you have achieved fullness. As for mixing impulses, you could do that, but I don't really have any experience with that. I'm more of the find one setting use across...

    Help with guitar tone

    Yeah, Lecto is a great plugin. Just about anything by LePou is great.

    Help with guitar tone

    It could be any number of reasons. It could be anything from how the amp itself is eq'd to the mic or cab model you're using. If anything I'd try cutting that 300-700hz curve you have in FabFilter. You could too wide of a notch on it. I'd play around with it. Narrowing the notch and sweeping...

    Help with guitar tone

    I agree with Firaxis, that curve is a bit extreme. Maybe try not taking away as much Db during those notches? As for the rest of your chain, sorry I know pretty much nothing about Waves except that C4 is a compressor and that Sneap has a legendary preset for it.

    Help with guitar tone

    Are you low/high passing the guitars any? I found that helped a ton on my mixes. If the guitar and bass are playing similar or the same part, let the bass do the "work" and provide the lows. On my eqs, I usually cut all of the lows out of my guitars from around 230 and under. I can't remember...

    Low tuned song (Dropped G#) to mixing practice!

    Really dig the music. Here's my take on it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38852223/Multiverse.mp3
