Slightly off-topic, but... "the drums *should* be aligned- I went through and quantized each track (separately) myself" "all of the other engineers I've worked with on this project thought it was a good idea to _____" "I know he played it wrong, but you can just copy and paste a good take together, ...

Also, to emphasize the pitch correction, eq some high end in, add some chorus or flanger, and reverb and/or delay!

LOLZ AC/DC COVER BAND.

I've been going crazy with guitar pedals after getting a Heavy Metal pedal (for that no-brainer Sunlight Studio sound) for $45. The DOD Grind pedal logo looks exactly like the Earache records font.

Trodden, did you like the Auto-Tune effect like Cynic does their sung vocals?

I have a 96, and some hot-ass API preamps, and I've had no problem with this.

You're "bottm line" just says, "your gear's shit - why bother"

Bottom line, if you're using a Pod, forget about power, tonestack, transformer coloration. Q: The question is, what's the benefit of adding an amp to that position in the chain, if it's not being mic'd?

This makes my head explode: With the amp's line out, don't bother going into the Pod. It'll just be another AD/DA conversion

You're fine with the pod into the mac, or into the amp.
If you're gonna use the amp, you're better off going into the effects loop.

it sounds amazing cranked (pinched and fuzzy), or at moderate volumes (OG style).
The original sound and more- love it.
