i use flac if i am forced to compress files. i usually just send rar'd or zip'd .wav or .aif files. rar compresses more, but both conatin error checking.

i've heard flac might not be 100% lossless.

yep agreed, the high end is a little crispy, but it's one of the things that i love the most about them, as it forces me to make all my mixing and mastering decisions based on that sound. i've been using them solely for nearly ten years in the same room. i get lots lots of praise for my "warm and an...

try out a pair of yamaha msp5 studios if you can. i love mine. but you gotta try for yourself.

yeah a d.i. always converts from instrument level/impedance to mic level/impedance, so you must use some form of mic preamp to get to a line level signal. some fancy d.i.s, such as the avalon u5 i use, have a built in instrument preamp and a balanced line level out, so when i record d.i guitar i gen...

Here it is as a much smaller (around 14mb) .mp3 file:

thanks dude! there's loads of bass and sub bass (actually i wondered if it might be an over-abundance) on my monitors, but i'll check it on some other system to see. it didn't sound nearly as bassy on my headphones. yeah i wondered if there might be too much upper mid range, it seems to clash someti...

sorry dude. are you on a dial up connection?

i'm not a fan of .mp3, so therefore it's a high quality .wav file.

i'm in japan and we have the super speed internet though!

if you'd prefer it, maybe i could upload an .mp3 or flac?

New ambient track, all comments appreciated!

i love my thermionic culture pullet. it is quite versatile, but also pretty hard to make it sound bad.

When we're looking for color "extra processing" can sometimes be a good thing. In fact, it's sometimes a good idea to get a little bit from here and a little from there, rather than try to get a whole bunch from one device. Honestly though, I just never really thought about using side-chaining for ...

i have my eqs and comps patched to the patchbay, so it's easy and fast to switch the order.

yeah there's no excuse for guitarists not knowing how to set up there own guitars. when i offered to do it for a friend of mines band he said "whoah, you can really do that?", like it was something magical. took me about 6 months of internet research and a lot of tweaking on my own guitars and basse...
