    EVH 5150 III 50Wrecorded at 0.4 (yes, less than 1) on Master Volume.

    Did a similar thing a while ago. It works very well. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3702469/81FR%20-%2085FR%20-%2081FF%20-%2085FF-001%20-%20Copy.mp3 Must apololgise for the terrible bass and raw drums.

    Let's discuss current 12ax7 production

    Interesting coincidence. I dont like JJ pres, and always swap them for tungsols or a tungsol/EH mix. All my amps have a tungsol in V1.

    Triple-tracking!! 2 monos and one stereo with delay separation

    Agreed. I've experimented with stuff like this and it causes much more problems than it solves. Youre much better off just quading or tripling. At the moment I'm gravitating towards triple with the centre pretty heavily high passed and blended with the low mids of the bass, and mixed low.

    How to get your band ready for the studio - part one

    So far youre describing a band I'm working...no, was working with (long story) recently. The only things that dont apply, and I do mean the ONLY things, are the bass player has a nice bass and hes a gobby opinionated twat. Voicing his Rock Star Opinion level: 99. Knowing the fucking songs and...

    Radial Reamping Pack

    I've had a J48 and XAmp and have a red eye (not 3d) Note; had, and have. DI: Red eye is marginally better, a little cleaner/clearer. Not much in it, the 48 is very good. Reamp: Red eye kicks the shit out of the x-amp, which is pretty seriously under-gained.

    Client makes requests-no samples, gates etc... Do you use them!

    This. You get two kinds of objections: vague, nebulous 'heard it somewhere that thats bad' but they have no actual clue, and 'heard examples of it pushed to a total extreme so now they dont like it'. The other thing to do is point out its used on albums they like that use all the methods...

    Schaller Hannes

    Its a superb bridge, I have on on my main guitar (a custom; the luthier installed it when the guitar was built), but its installation does require precise drilling and routing. I think its the best bridge out there, by quite a way; facilitates a very clear, precise and articulate guitar, but...

    Schaller Hannes

    Its a flat body with straight neck, so maybe it might retrofit in a very ugly way, but I doubt it would work well. Without a doubt there would be post holes that have to be filled/ignored, and if filled the guitar would need to be refinished if you care what it looks like. Looks like it should...

    Let's talk wireless in-ear monitors

    They are at the warmer end of things. I didnt feel that I was missing anything, though. I never got moulded inserts, and just used some shure tips from my E4s that I thought allowed a better/brighter balance.

    Let's talk wireless in-ear monitors

    As far as the buds go, future sonics are the best I've used. Atrios (their cheap version; I dread to think how good their high end stuff is).

    Phase problems; what's stopping you from manually aligning the track after the fact?

    Yup. This is what I do. Move tracks around so theres still a time differential, as there should be, but waveforms are in phase. When I feel the need to/feel like it that is. Seems to be the best of both worlds. It can have trade offs though. There could well have been phase cancellations...
