Why the hell would any want to go direct out and then use some amp sims? When you already have a great amp? Going direct is not the way to go! You need a mic in front of the speaker.. No amp sim will ever sound as good as that! EVER! Why? because there is no air being moved.. Even the pre on a...

Heres another song me and my band are working on.. I sing and play guitar and we are only a 3 piece ;) I only have about 45 mins into mixing this, so its kinda rough.. But the guitar tone is pretty decent I think. Used a cascade fat head with an sm57.. No eq or compression has been used on...

Very nice! looks sweet.

Very nice!

Its all good man! I'll get the drums to sound massive as well. I would like to add that the single rec has EL34's in and not the standard 6L6GC.. V1 is a tung sol V2 V3 are both sovteks v4 is a mesa and v5 which is the inverter is a NOS mullard 12at7. Guitar is a Korean made Dean Icon with...

Thanks! yeah the drums need a ton of mixing, everything on the drums was pretty much raw except the kick drum its the only thing I have messed with .. The bass was done with an epi thunderbird and a mesa boogie titan v12! running through a 1x12 avatar bass cab that I use only for recording...

Heres a snippet of tone from a song my band is working on. I did this with a single rec / cab with texas heats / cascade fat head mic and an sm57 mic. no impulses or pedals.. right into the amp. The guitar tracks are raw no eq .. just a little fader adjustment...

all ya gota do is consolidate your files... they will work in any daw then. Except for whatever plugs and automation you had.

Its pretty easy to work with files from any DAW... the trick is to consolidate your files... that means making all of your tracks start at 0 and 0'd out on your faders and panning ... then you can just drag and drop your wavs in to any daw and work with them from there... granted the sessions...

If you can't get a good tone with an sm57 you are doing it wrong, plain and simple. And yes they do work very well on vocals.. www.burnstudios.com 1st and 3rd songs both guitars and vocals were done with an sm57

Its real simple, if you can not get a good tone with an sm57 you are doing it wrong and need to take a look at what your doing. watch and learn. http://www.imperialmastering.com/guitartonevid/

I would build a nice i5/i7 pc and use Reaper as the DAW. Reaper is cheap and building a pc yourself will save money that can go towards a nice interface and some pre's. Ive been recording on a pc for over 10 years, and never once have I had a session get canned because pc problems/bsod's or...

I beg to differ that an sm57 is not ideal for vocals. I use one all the time for rock and rap vocals with great results, its gets that midrange goodness that a LDC wont get.. But you have to pair the 57 with a decent mic pre... If you go and listen to the first song on my page...

Try it both ways, then a/b them to find the one that sits in the mix the best. There is a fine line between the low frequency's of the kick drum and bass drum, let alone adding more bottom end with your guitar tone.
