Lots of parametric EQ knob tweeking... Or automation.. Sweeping shelves or bands or any other knob you can find.. That's kind of stuff is all over techno.

Sony Acid..

Oh, and running synths into stomp boxes.

Why not this: Hamptone Tube 2 A12 2 N72 2 Jensen 8 channels, biggest variety, about $3400.. The only reason I assume this may not work for you is becuase it appears you want 4 consistent channels. That was my thought when I bought my Sytek all stock (no burr brown) but later realized I almost never ...

I've been racking my head today.. When I was 18 I bought a comsumer level component stereo EQ. It's made by a company called audiosource, the model is EQ eight. When placed in the effects loop of bass or guitar gigs it does amazing things unlike any other EQ. It's certainly not transparent, colorles...

Thanks for the eye candy.

Don't get me wrong, I love my DBX160's, but not for drum bus compression. No way. Honestly, I'd rather use my focusrite comps for that - and they're my least favorite comps for most things. You really should go for something that's gonna give you attack and release control.

Dude, you're looking at it all the wrong way. You're a musician, become the matermind behind your brilliant tone. There is no right or wrong about compressors here or there, only opinion. Just enjoy the fine art of dialing in your tone - bacause the result is the sound that defy's who you are and wh...

For me, when the option is available, I like to go EQ>Comp>EQ. Pre comp for me is usually more of a negative EQ/HPF configuration - unless I really want to saturate a certain band with more comp. This way I'm only compressing the stuff I want. It's useless to have your comp working overtime to tame ...

Sometimes it's easier for people who are not in your situation to understand it more clearly - so just go with me for a sec... I think you'll be able to answer your own question a little better. Let's say this is 8mmOp, a video forum - and you want to start a video recording studio recording local c...

Are you sequencing them, or how are you getting the samples? Are they canned? One thing you can do, depeding on what's available to you with your current method, is try different velocities on the hits, especially on fills. Re-amping a fake snare with a real one always helps a lot, especially on fil...

I know, every time we talk about guitar tone here comes that dumbass neglectedfred to talk about perspective.. I agree, and completely feel your passion for guitars rockin' down to 80Hz - so throw an EQ on your guitar and boost it up, baby!! Throw a mic in front of it and let the mic capture all the...

People don't sing off key intentinoally.. Maybe sometimes for character, like slides and such - but in gfeneral I think if someones out of key, like Ian, it's not intentional. I used to listen to Joy Division as a kid and think 'How did these guys make it?'.. I liked their music as much as the next ...

Inspiring... Me likes!

..And that guitar is beautiful. It's treating my hang-over nicely. Thank you!

If a 5 string bass drops to low a, his low note is at 55Hz, if the guitarist is mirroring the bottom five of the bass then his low A is 110Hz. Each instrument is going to want at least an octave to be slightly dominant, and probably in 2 or 3 different places in the spectrum. If a 5 string bass dro...

Hard panning Left to Right on guitars is OK for metal stuff IMO. And if the tone is all mid-scooped, ad some back on one of the tracks. What Corey Y said (great advice all around)....it's hard to give advice w/o hearing it. I agree with hard panning separate guitars in metal, but I like to get some...

...When the clock struck 4:20 for the first time...
And the second...
And the third...

It became my favorite time of day in my early 20's (yeah I was late, gimme a break, I'm from Utah).. So many albums I'd heard a thousand times before finally came to life and made a new kind of sense.
