    Dirk Verbeuren new Megadeth drummer!

    Boy gotta get paid... good on him. Seems like a waste of a perfectly good Verbeuren, though.

    I'm 1000% on board with this. Meshuggah is one of favorite bands and Madsen one of favorite producers.

    Relocating, looking for a U.S. city with a good modern metal scene.

    Hey there Ultimate Metal peoples, here's my story: I'm a 39 year old, single, college educated, childless, male who just spent the last four years cultivating a career opportunity that came up here in Scottsdale, Arizona. That's run its course: I gained a lot of experience & elevated my job...

    JENS BOGREN - my new hero

    Great googly moogly, what a stellar thread! Thx for the necrobump! The Stabbing The Drama snare sound being mostly trigger mics is 8-O One of my favorite snare sounds for sure. Most of my favorite productions have weird drum sounds on them though.

    Headphone amp for a project studio situation

    I've heard some very good things about Schiit (yes, that's pronounced the way you think) Audio stuff. Been thinking about picking up the Asgard model in particular. $249, solid-state, and very transparent & flat response from what I've heard.

    Best bass distortion plug-in

    Little late to the party here, but I've recently got good results with the Native Instruments Ramfire plugin, which is a dark sounding Recto tone. The ol' separate channel w/ a bandpass. You really have to get the gain and volume in the sweet spot, but once there, pretty darn good.

    DI box after pedals? Active or passive?

    Question here because I'm confused. :confused: I'm going to pick up a DI box for my home studio for recording guitar but I'm not sure what I need. I've got a passive pup'd guitar, but I'd like to DI after my pitch and wah effects in order to capture those performance aspects, but before the amp...
