anyone up for another forum jammery?

MEMEME:O

I want my PC back first tho=O

Ok so guys, about the FR clamp/string block problem I had.

I just returned from my daily course, and took the bus to the city, and bought one.

It is a tiiiny bit larger (but fits perfectly), would this cause problems? I'm not sure.

Also, the prices are insaaane here

For one clamp/string block at thomann, 0,30 EUR.

..The one I bought costed me 1,7 EUR

I got bored this afternoon and came up with some thrashy death riffs.
Take a listen!

Sounds a lot like Arch Enemy with a bit of Soilwork in there at the end, good job!

 

[GuitariSteve]

And one more time: great song Lowberg!

 

[Lowberg]

Do you use a preamp from the metal pack or a normal one?
Do you use impulses for the cab modeling?
Do you use a compressor for distorted guitars? (wtf?)
Do you use a limiter to make it all louder or does it have another function?
Do you know a good bass VST?

Yes its the Cali Diamond Plate Model (metalshop) with the tube screamer, heres the settings.

I do use cab impulses. With a free zero-latency plug-in called keFIR

I usually do not compress the guitar, but sometimes if it gets a bit woofy I use Waves C4 plugin

For mastering and loudness I use Izotope Ozone on the master bus and it has compression, limiter, stereo widening, eq ect.

And I dont know of any bass VSTs unfortunatly I just went out and bought a used no-name fender imitation bass for 60 bucks and It sounds decent with the Line6 Modeling and Bass cab impulses.

Nice Paul Gilbert video!
I want guitar lessons from him!

Yo dude Lowberg, that thrashy idea song, man wtf how do you do it?? Was insaaaaane!!

And do you have a hardware for that program or do you use a pro soundcard or how?

 

[GuitariSteve]

eBay US

 

[Swabs]

Do not want.

 

[Orcy]

Do want.

At Daniel- sucks to be you man! BTW replace that EMG, I have decided that they suck as a company, their tone is really mediocre for such a well known and expensive brand, I opting to replace mine with Dimarzios in the classic petrucci and liitamatanien style with a Steve's special (B) and AIr Norton (N)
Passive pickups FTW

Line 6 UX2, costs like $140 and has two mic inputs with phantom power, and instrument inputs. Comes with line6 guitar/bass/vocal modeling software. USB Interface.

Awesome awesome awesome for the price.

IF you want cheaper, UX1 for $90 has one instrument and one mic input with no phantom power for the mic.

I think they are discontinuing the old red colored versions and making new black ones with a different looking software thats more expensive so pick up one now if you want before only the newer expensive ones are available.

 

[Corny]

^Yes, that's right.


HUGE thanks for the infos. I really like your attitude, that you don't keep your settings as a secret, that you even post a screenshot with the exact settings and all that.

Why do you have send 3/4 activated? Do you record dry tracks too everytime you record?

 

[Ensi]

Sounds nice !

But:

"Vår pris 1 345 NOK"

UX1

1,345.00 NOK

=

190.298 USD

 

[Corny]

What? That's impossible, wait...

http://www.thomann.de/de/line6_toneport_ux1.htm

95 EURO = 849.2 NOK =120 USD

They ship worldwide.

 

[Ensi]

What? That's impossible, wait...

WELCOME TO NORWAY

Even worse for the UX2, which is 279.247 USD.

But if I order UX1 from Thomann it will be 98,- EUR.

I can record without any hardware tho on my main computer, but I think I will get a nicer tone out of one of those ports/hardwares.

 

[the phenom]

^DO IT! Toneports are awesome...can't wait till monday so i can start recording again. I have plenty of riffs to get out of my head

Does the UX2 have more cab/amp models then? Never seen a MS-2001 amp model on the Gearbox i used Awesome that you posted that though. Going to try it although i found my tone already with the "Solo 100 head" amp modelling and a Marshall V-30 cabinet modeler.

Postjump

Yes, the toneport is an external soundcard with nice preamps for the money (and all POD sounds available). It will probably sound better than your normal recording setup.

No, this amp is contained in the Metal Pack, which is not free. You have to download it (and pay with a credit card).

 

[the phenom]

Aaah okay. Just wondered. There is btw a new versino of Gearbox out that is the one that comes with the POD Studio. It is said to be alot more practical to use.
