ESP LTD SC-607B 7-string baritone (27") scale length guitar. I bought brand new over 2 years ago from Thomann.de. Never been gigged with and is spotless in condition. All original hardware, no modifications. Can ship in the original shipping container, but no hardcase available from me sorry...

I have to agree with Harry, Chaosphere for me is the best tone they've ever had, closely followed by DEI. ObZen is too harsh in the high-mid range (I think), it's really tiring on the ears that I have to take a break half way through. Oh, and Nothing is great also. I haven't actually heard the...

Hi all, I'm having a little trouble getting leads and overdubs to fit into a mix I'm working on. They're all distorted hi-gain tones so they should naturally be compressed anyway but there's harshness to the tone and a slightly unbalanced dynamic that I'm trying to get right. EQing is fairly...

Small world huh. I was at that careers fair thing also, shame it turned out to be a waste of time, there was basically nothing there. Sure, feel free to PM me, I'm more than willing to answer any questions. All the best. :)

You were at the AES today?! So was I! O.o I was wearing a TesseracT t-shirt and jeans, maybe you saw me around. What a coincidence hehe. It's a bit difficult to rate the uni as it's the only I've ever been to, so making a comparison is not the easiest. What I can say about the department is...

Hey, thanks. I wasn't actually using any of the outboard in these sessions as they were just for recording hehe. I'm really hoping to get back in there to mix though and use the Drawmers and stuff. This is at Thames Valley University in London. The studio I used there is one of the newest and...

Hi all, As part of my Master's degree in Record Production I got this band into the studios at uni to record a 3-track EP that will become my showreel as I look for assistant engineering jobs and other freelance work. I put up an add and got a response from this band Brutai whose music is a...

Hi all, I'm putting together a list of gear for location recording (metal bands to be specific, not live however), and I'm just concerned about the bandwidth available for recording what will likely be up to 12 simultaneous tracks. The interface in mind is the Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 with...

Phew, thanks for the list. I had forgot to mention that I haven't factored cables, stands, cases etc into the equation. I'm only hypothosising. But thanks a lot for your list, looks like you've done most of the work for me. ;) Edit: To Steve's post, Yeah this'll be designed for rehearsal space...

Cool, thanks for that. I'll have a read of Focusrite's website then about the Pro 40, I guess it isn't worth spending a great deal more on just 2 micpre emulations. As I understand it, you need some kind of Line6 hardware to run Podfarm? So if I needed to I could just buy say a Pod Studio UX1...

Hi all, I'm putting together an equipment list of portable gear that I can use to record demos over the next year or so, and possibly do some of my own A&R for local metal labels. I'm hoping perhaps some of you could advise on some of my choices so far and for your recommendations on gear...

Hey all, I'm new to this forum, hoping to find some good tips & tricks on producing metal, as I'm hoping to be working in a professional environment in the future, although I'm not totally sure what role precisely, especially as the producer/engineer roles have somewhat homogenized over the...

I enjoyed reading both articles. I also emailed Mark to ask him for a little advice, he was quick respond and sounded like a friendly guy. This phd he's doing sounds really cool and I asked him about it. He said he'll be able to supervise them in around 7-8 months time so I may well go for it...
