Wow, really didn't expect so much response. Thanks for all the compliments guys, really appreciate it!
ballstix: I usually mix most of my stuff on headphones. However I tend to mix at least the drums on my monitors (which is some pretty cheap ones of the brand tascam, vl-something with 5.25" speakers). Usually sounds better to me when mixing drums on monitors. But I trust my headphones more, although I use my monitors as a reference from time to time. Also I tend to mix very late for some reason, that might also be why I use headphones more, so my neighbors won't kill me
Colony5150: Thanks for the kind words man! Play it anywhere if you like it.
The guitar chain is pretty simple, thats what I like with the TSE X30. No boost or anything used, and very little eq used. Love the EQ on the TSE X30.
Chain: Guitar (Ibanez RG321EX with EMG89/81) -> emu 0404 usb -> TSE X30 (
settings) -> s-preshigh -> hp 80hz, lp 11500 hz.
EQ: -1.5 db cut at 210 hz (just to make a bit more room in the mix), 1.8db boost 7000 hz (make it sound a bit brighter). Medium sized Q for both. (Affecting around 150-350 for the 210 hz cut). -> Just a little bit of multiband compressing around 80-250 hz (don't really need much with the TSE, not that boomy)
