    Advise for Cro-mags or Leeway type drum sound

    Hey Guys Gotta mix a hardcore band tomorrow. They aim for a 80’s sound and told me to do something like on Cro-mags „age of quarrel“ or Leeway, where they were pointing out the song “rise and fall”. In case you don't know the leeway song: http://www.myspace.com/leewaynyc The drums sound...

    Mac related question...

    sleep mode shouldn't be any problem. as long as you use the drive frequently it will not go to sleep mode. On the other hand it should wake up when you select it from the explorer. At least this was how it workes for me with my drives. Sleepmode can often be disabled in the BIOS. Also other...

    di guitar tracking work flow

    yup I do it the same way. It makes sense to edit the DI track, since it is a lot easier to edit this than the amp track. And ofcourse you don't have to look for clicks and pops later.

    PODxt: Can you get a great tone with just 2 tracks?

    yeah! turning down the master pot helps... but is still not so good. I tried the TS9 infront of the POD and it helps also to clean the sound with my setup.

    PODxt: Can you get a great tone with just 2 tracks?

    What I actually noticed is, that if I use my EMG-81 loaded guitars the POD is sounding kinda week... maybee the signal is just to hot for the POD. If I use a cheap guitar with a non active humbucker, the pod sounds much more full and focused. So 2 Tracks with a cheap guitar do sound still...

    New Guitar

    I have exactly that viper. it is in deed a great guitar. since I have that one I was looking forward to buy another guitar but none of them (LTD EC 1000, ESP CTM II Black) sounded as good as my LTD Viper Deluxe and so I sold them again. The Viper, or at leas mine, has a verry specific sound...

    I've got to be missing something with Digital Perfomer

    I read like 5 books of DP and each of these books was not worth any of the money, exept of one: the original Manual that comes with DP. Honestly, everything is covered in there very well. so don't waste money books! your right with the key commands. I had quite a lot time to learn the 10...
