They have an AU/VST version.

I change my strings pretty regularly, and I usually try to wipe down my necks and scrape the fret gunk off with the edge of a pick while I'm at it. But otherwise I don't do much cleaning. Although, I did just get a setup done on my Strat by someone who actually knew what they were doing, and I can h...

I saw the EMP right when I got here and it was pretty cool, although I have never felt a desire to go back. But it's worth seeing once (and a lot more fun than the Rock Hall in Cleveland, in my opinion). I agree with Meriphew, I am pretty sure you get into both the EMP and the SFM for one price. You...

Just to add a little more about my experience with this, having worked through another song now - The hardest thing for me has been dealing with drum transients. We used Glyn Johns for the drum micing and it sounds good, nice natural picture of the drum set. Our drummer is good about mixing himself ...

update! at least for the song I was initially talking about, I got the average RMS up to about -18 from -20 without adding any more compression. Just more volume automation and more attention to which tracks could be pushed without unbalancing the overall mix or clipping the master. So still a littl...

thank you for your advice! there are definitely some places where the bass (for example) is louder than other places, and notes that pop out a little more, etc. Personally I don't find this to be distracting as the performance is generally pretty solid. But as I mentioned the overall sound is defini...

I am mixing my band's record right now (melodic rock, not too loud, not too quiet) and we are working with a "real" mastering engineer for the first time. One thing that has come up is that our mixes are not very loud. They sound pretty good, in my opinion anyway, but our bounces are currently sitti...

Howdy! My band just got word that we are going to be able to use a really cool space for some recording next weekend, the one downside being that the space is not normally a recording studio and therefore there's no equipment there for us. Among ourselves, we have a bunch of mics and other miscellan...

Fender Champ's are really cool and pretty inexpensive. You can get the schematic here. I am new to electronics DIY, and I don't want to be a spoilsport, but personally, I decided against starting with a tube project because of the very high voltages involved. From what I understand if you ground it...

I have a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse (just regular ol wireless, not bluetooth) sitting about 1.5 ft from my mic pre's and monitor amp, no interference to speak of either way.
