This may not be your cup-o-tea.
But, I am always interested in how people achieve their sound.
Instruments, Mic's, and their placement / attachement, DAW's or Recording Gear.
Technique for different / alternative sounds. Amps and output devices.
My rig for guitar goes like..
1.Guitar
2.Short 1/4 cord. No more than 11 feet. You loose highs. Or, I believe you do.
Based on Impedence theory. High frequencies don't carry as much power / umph.
Exception is pre-amp'd instrument.
3.Marshall Valvestate 40 watt. Enough for a room, and can get gritty, without high volumes.
-OR-
4.POD HD
-OR- / Steinberg CI2 A/D converter, clean guitar into it. Then add effects.
5.Cubase 5 VST, Steinberg did write the book on VST's. And gave away the SDK, for you to create your own. Something to be said about that. I like it.
6.Track by track, or add to stereo mix like we all do.
7.Listen over and over, to hear blemishes, and correct as much as possible.
8.Final Mastering, and mixdown to stereo track.
Looking forward to reading about new, different ideas. Or Expand with questions for other's to answer, help the newbies understand , etc. etc.
