    Recording guitar with effects pedals

    I would appreciate the different options, were it me.. Just make sure the playing is tight. e My ideal for this would be a center take with the pitcher and the bass amp, then the regular guitar amps, one on either side. Use a different guitar for each, or use an overdrive on one and not the...

    Is there a quad vs dual track album compendium?

    Totally supporting the idea of a compendium! List of popular albums that prominently feature quad tracking, and some that prominently feature double tracking, plus the aforementioned tri-tracking or just wall-of-20-guitars. Emphasis on songs and stuff would work. I feel that Ride The Lightning...

    Lovecraftian blackened punk, anyone? (Crit me)

    Thanks! The drummer thought so too :) How so? Any particular critiques?

    Lovecraftian blackened punk, anyone? (Crit me)

    The band's name is Yog Sothoth, and the song's title "Dreamlands" is in specific reference to some of the mythos. If you pay close attention to the lyrics, you'll hear references to Hastur, the King In Yellow. Working on another song right now and taking a break from this one. I may be able to...

    Lovecraftian blackened punk, anyone? (Crit me)

    :lol: What if I told you that's what it's supposed to sound like... Just kidding. The raw tracks were in pretty rough shape. the vocals were all over the place level wise, guitar tracks had 9dB sivverence between them, bass was a bit more messy and there were lots of things out of phase. I had...

    Lovecraftian blackened punk, anyone? (Crit me)

    So, for some stupid reason I first posted this in FOH. It's been years since I've been on the forums. Excuses aside, a buddy of mine who I provided some mixing advice to decided he wanted to hear my vision of his stuff, so he sent me some raw tracks. here's the one I provided council on and the...

    Crit my blackened Lovecraftian punk mix.

    That would explain the lack of replies. It's been a while since I've been here.

    Crit my blackened Lovecraftian punk mix.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/peiwrtahqcluncp/Dreamlands.mp3?dl=0 Brought the toms down some and compressed the crap out of their peaks. They fit in a bit better now.

    Crit my blackened Lovecraftian punk mix.

    Well shit. So, I'm missing a guitar track. not a fvcking clue how that happened. EDIT: So, apparently a plugin was somehow muting the right guitar track. Re uploading. EDIT2: Got busy earlier. Finally reuploaded it.

    Crit my blackened Lovecraftian punk mix.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/gfnsnfqgghdtuih/Dreamlands-MixFixed.mp3?dl=0 I didn't record it, but gave my buddy (their drummer) some tips on his mix and he loved my advice so much that he sent me some tracks to play with! It's in mp3 format, don't recall any specifics, but I figured it's better to...

    Reaper is messing with me....

    Soooo, further testing. The issue was between the seat and the keyboard. Somehow, when I was plugging my headphones into the computer, and ensuring they were plugged in all the way, they were going mono. My particular headphones need to be partially unplugged to give a proper stereo field =/...

    Reaper is messing with me....

    Okay, shenanigans. Just opened the program again and it's fixed.

    Reaper is messing with me....

    Second thing I tried. After shutting off all FX to see if they were affecting it. That seems to be the common solution for panning issues in Reaper, as I've spent about an hour Googling it. Unfortunately, it's not working out for me. :( That would be very odd for everything to be fine, save...

    Reaper is messing with me....

    So guys, I've been out of it for a while and came back to reaper to dick around with some tracks from a buddy of mine's project Yog Sothoth. So I get a decent mix going last night that I need to tweak on. I've got everything placed in the stereo field where I want to, levels are alright, but I...

    So who plays tabletop games?

    Whoot! I had hoped I would find some gamers here! I would type up some stories to share but I'm a tad busy right now. Anyone got some awesome memories to share? I''ll tell you one thing.. I just had a player (my wife) have her character's brain transplanted into another person's body.
