Thanks for the tip you are probably right. I'll go with Win7

I'm considering giving Ubuntu a go to see if I prefer it or if it's any good for music production. But I'm a bit worried that a program isn't going to install or a driver will not work or something like that

Hey guys, I'm about to completely reinstall my music PC as it hasn't been wiped in quite a few years and it's the PC that I use for all my music stuff. Currently it has Windows Vista on it as that was put on before it became my music PC (that should tell you how long it's been). So I was...

Thanks for sharing your AD preset I might try it out later to see if I prefer it to the one I've made. What do you tend to do with the drums or is it literally programmed in and then add everything on top of it?

Nice pics thanks for sharing. I didn't like the production as much on Rise of the Tyrant as I did their previous albums so hopefully this will be a step up

I too just mouse click in all the drum parts as well and change velocities and things afterwards if needs be. I use my MIDI keyboard for all other VSTs though such as piano, orchestral sounds and various sound effects

Indeed very nice track mate. Everything sounds very nice. What did you use for bass? Also how do you guys think AD compares to Superior Drummer 2 including TMF?

Ok thanks for your reply :)

I'm using AD for tracking drums and I've made my own preset to use. However everything comes processed in some way ie EQ on kick drum and compression etc. Is it best to turn all of that off on everything so that the drums are purely free from processing to sound exactly as they are recorded...

Compared to last year I think this year has been a bit crap for metal albums. October Tide - A Thin Shell and Dark Tranquillity - We Are The Void are the only two that really come to mind.

I'm using Reaper for production at the moment and I'm using ReaEQ for the EQ mixing. There's an option on there called Show phase. Having looked on the Cockos Wiki it describes this as : "Shows or hides the phase of the output signal (relative to the input signal)". When selected some sort of...

I'm no expert in mixing guitars but I do know that it really does depend on a lot of things such as style and what the track needs etc. Generally if you are doing two rhythm guitar track they are panned hard left and right. However if you're doing 4 usually you should bring a pair of them in...

Ok fine I'll upload an example and hopefully get some tips on how to improve it. You guys here use drop box for sound uploading right?

Would there be point in uploading just a guitar track to get some feedback on the kind of tone that I'm getting or would this be pointless as it's not heard within a mix? I'm currently trying to dial in some good tones out of my guitar using Nick Crow's 8505 amp sim and the Catharis (sp) fredman...

Sweet, thanks a bunch :)
