    What are you guys using to get your bass grit these days?

    Boss HM-2 into amp for live/ rehearsal and into Ampeg for recording.

    Recording amp head direct

    Thanks for that Bryan, looks like I posted just after you did. And in future I promise to look on Google first! Even if it does send me back here...

    Recording amp head direct

    I have looked at quite a few of them, but none of them involved using a 900 head. As I'm not familiar with that amp head, (amp heads in general actually) I was looking for confirmation of the points I was raising. No worries, I'll take another look through the threads again. Thanks anyway.

    Recording amp head direct

    Hi guys. A mate of mine has got a Marshall JCM-900 amp head, 100w hi-gain dual reverb. I'm wanting to try some different recording techniques, and was wondering: How would I record through the amp head direct into my PC? My usual recording chain is: Instrument > Behringer Ultra-DI 100...

    Ghost "Ritual" cover, Axe FXII guitars

    That's pretty fucking good man! Very nicely mixed. Great bass, I agree with you that it doesn't need to be re-amped. The weakest point is definitely the singer. He's got a good voice, but his performance isn't strong enough. It sounds like he's not put enough effort into it. You should get him...

    need mastering practise?

    Hey Marios. I'll be happy to have a look at that for you. But my PC's out of action at the mo, I might need to get a new motherboard. So it might take a week or so for me to get round to doing it. So if anyone gets in there before me, cool. Listening to your master, there's a lot of...

    My mixes lacks "body" or impact, can someone give some advice?

    Click on the Reverbnation link under my post. Play the first song, The Introduction. The drums kick in properly from about 1:45. There's pretty good separation there. My PC's not working, otherwise I could put something together with more separation. But it should illustrate my point. Another...

    My mixes lacks "body" or impact, can someone give some advice?

    Hey Aviel. Whatever you've done is a big improvement on the mix in your original post. The bass guitar and kick drum are still clashing though. Try this: Solo the bass guitar and kick drum channels together. EQ the bass guitar around 80 hz, cut about 3 dB, I use a q of 2.6 in the Cubase...

    A question about Valves/ Tubes

    I've got a Bravo Audio Tube Booster (fantastic piece of kit by the way, highly recommended), and I'm looking at alternative tubes to use in it. The tube that's in there already is a Shugang 12AU7. My question is: What is it I'd need to look at to find a suitable alternative? My flatmate says...
