Thanks!

DI means that we play into multifx boxes from which the sound goes directly to mixer/recording, no miked cabinets. Although we do use also monitors that can be heard in the room.

Here's another from Sunday also, I tried to get a little more oomph for drums etc.

We've lately been making training vids of our songs, try to record at least one song as per every proper practice, so twice a month or so. Webcam and sound thru Soundcraft Ui24r, all instruments are DI courtesy of Neural products, but drums are acoustic and the bleed to vocals is a small problem to ...

Put up a dedicated YT page for my band as it's clearly my main music avenue. Bad news is of course that it's taken me 10 years to get past 100 subscribers to my own channel, so I wonder if it will take at least half a century to get past 100 with the new one. Only 30 or so subs now, but 3K listens a...

Good score!

So, there are so many spots where I can adjust my tone and volume level. In the end I can also send it thru 2.4kW of PA cabs and woofer, but the 100W guitar amp alone can drown the drummer with ease too. It's great that we can play without getting the ears ringing, and whenever we play, we can also ...

Sorry, have to split this in two on cell. Anyway, from Live! The sound goes to an old Boss SE-50 multieffect, in stereo, which adds a very little bit of reverb - really the main thing is just to have another analog stage there, because it does round out the digital-ness a bit. From there a split mon...

I've touted modelers before, but I'll say it again, there's nothing like modelers to get great sounds today, and at any volume too. And it's like not only modelers, but being able to tweak the sound in so many different ways besides the 'core' of the system. Such as, I play modelers now, and I use b...

You know it's an endless cycle and a hobby in itself to search for that elusive tone. Even when you find it, your ears tire of it and you crave a slighly different shade of it, and again and again, until you're back with what you started and it feels like the best ever again - for a while. At some p...

Looks impressive...I've used rack compressors quite often in amp loops etc. I usually go for a sustained light squeeze. The release is key for those. Low threshold and mix and soft knee just to bring up nuances. This likely reads very strange for anyone not savvy in studio tech I think :-) Sent from...

Yeah...I love the guitar sounds on Powerage remastered especially. But I need more drive for what we play these days. Still, my rhythm sounds are and always will be relatively low gain JCM800 Marshall type. Kinda like ACDC but a little more towards Stained Class era Priest and with a dash of Maiden ...

It happens, no biggie. Don't know how often I've made mistakes that forced me to take a different route than planned at first. BTW I never dare to use a reamer with tuner holes...I just roll up some 80 grit sandpaper around a.pencil and use that as a drill bit for a cordless. Amazingly quick even wi...

How loud do you have to crank an Origin 50 to get it to sound like that? James, who doesn't post on here hardly ever, told me it was really hard to get crunch out of the one he owned. That was certainly my experience with the Origin 20. It would do a good AC/DC tone if you absolutely dimed it, at w...

@andrewsrea has a 4X10 Marshall that he no longer has the original speakers in that's one of my favorite cabs ever. How loud do you have to crank an Origin 50 to get it to sound like that? James, who doesn't post on here hardly ever, told me it was really hard to get crunch out of the one he owned....

I've spoken of this before, but honestly...I've had nigh every Marshall ever made, at least the classic ones, and lots of copies and whatnot, from plexi to JCMs and JVMs, in different versions...like a dozen different ones. And the one thing I've always wanted out of them mostly has been a kind of r...

Looking great! You have to make a sound demo of it when it's done!

Great work, looks very clean! I'm guessing it's someone's crude ex tempore attempt to connect the grounds of the switches in some gig situation or similar. I've done some emergency extra grounding in sort of the same vein sometime, when a Tele I had just wouldn't be quiet near a computer...maybe som...

Wow...I started to get some inklings of how I play, my patterns and preferences last night but I thought I'd sleep on it before weighing in. So this morning, Saturday here in Thailand, I usually refrain from turning the Blackstar 12" speaker tube amp on as my neighbor works all week and I know...

Is recorded on an iphone all by itself?

Yeah my cheap android just between my monitor speakers

Oh yeah, 800 of course!

I think I found my go-to plugin. For the past year or so I've been using a Boss GX-100 modeler and a Neural Plini plugin, but now I got the Tom Morello one that models a Marshall JCM900. MAN I like this. The basic sound is not very different from the Plini sound I've been using, but this is clearly ...

Yeah, seems solid now. Just gave it the first coat of filler spray, then final sand and final filler and tomorrow I can color it - white this time.

While preparing to refinish a guitar of mine I noticed it had cracked badly at the body both sides of the neck. I don't know whether it'll be fine really...I drilled 4 small holes deep in the crack and injected Titebond, and clamped it. Soon will open and see if it worked. It may have been cracked f...

I've a friend who does 3D printing and we have slowly been planning a 3D printed guitar. These days you have plenty of options, and hundreds of different materials. But you do need quite a good printer as well, regular 3D prints are rather brittle and basically plastic parts for light use possible, ...

Sounds great! I am surprised with all the 'digital' happening, that there is no perceivable latency. Which would be evident on a up-tempo tune with lots of shredding. Kudos! There is a little latency, as with all digital, but it's something like 3-5ms or so. Good quality soundcard at 96khz 48bit al...

https://youtu.be/nSvSzP-MzJQ?si=wnxspSe6TVas7RYT Here's a video from last Saturday's gig, where I'm using the rig. It's really awesome how you can get such a great sound out with modelers, we got loads and loads of praise for the sounds in the vein of "I can't believe one could hear such a band...
