    Tell me about Kiesel Guitars

    I like CNC. It's consistent... I value consistency over "hand-crafted" any day of the week. Exactly, you don't have to like the Lithiums. I happen to like them, but the next guitar I order (yes! #3) will have something different. Yeah the resale blows. To be fair, a lot of the ones I see for...

    Tell me about Kiesel Guitars

    Oy... These comments. I have 2. A Vader VM7 and a DCM7. They flat-out rock. My other guitars have been collecting dust. They're not dead-sounding, quite the opposite in-fact. The neck profile is very comfortable and both guitars are super fast-playing. PM me if you want to more info.

    Recommend a DAW for a noob

    I used Logic for years. Prior to that I used Cubase on both Mac and Windows. Cubase definitely felt clunkier on Mac. Pro-Tools is the fastest. There's other things I don't feel like getting into because I'll get told "They're all the same" :lol: :LOL:

    Recommend a DAW for a noob

    All of the DAW's work in a similar fashion. They're all really really deep, but it's easy to get started. Pro-Tools is no different in that regard. A lot of the "Mastery" comes from just recording and mixing experience regardless of the DAW used.

    Recommend a DAW for a noob

    After trying every major DAW out there since the 90's, I'm on Pro-Tools.

    Superior Drummer 3

    I've had it for several weeks. It's amazing... A huge improvement over EZDrummer 2 and SD1.0 both of which I've used for a long time.

    New Fortin Pedal Day!

    I have the Grind. I listened to some clips, but they sound really similar. What's the difference you're hearing?

    Mesa Dual Rectifier vs Mini Rectifier

    :rock: I love that song whatever it is! The DR has thicker lower mids. The Mini cuts really nicely.

    What program and interface with a PC?? Anyone use a PC?

    I've used a PC for years. Switched to Mac about 4 years ago. Haven't looked back. That said, there's nothing wrong with PC. If you're going with PC, Cubase is great. I hear good things about Studio One. As for interfaces, they're all good at this point. Anything in the 200-500 range will get...

    Kiesel vader 6 any good ?

    I wasn't sure about the Lithiums, but I really like them. I was actually surprised how good they sounded to me. But they're not for everyone. They're very clear and articulate so some may find them sort of sterile or bright or something. I dig them.

    Kiesel vader 6 any good ?

    I got one about 6 months ago. A VM7. It's flawless and I haven't put it down in the time I've had it. My other guitars are gathering dust at the moment. I ordered a DCM7 a few weeks ago.

    Recording & Mixing guitars

    Yeah it's not the easiest thing to capture guitars. It's taken me a really long time to find what works for me. You actually don't need that much. But I would HIGHLY recommend a good interface. I know people say "they're all the same" except they're not. After years of struggling with <$500...

    Any PRS Archon owners?

    I really like mine.

    Any PRS Archon owners?

    I have an Archon and an old DR. They're very different. The Archon is much tighter and easier to dial in. You can use a boost with it, but it's not as necessary as it is with a DR. No idea how it fairs against the JP-2C. Someone told me the Archon is very similar to the Diezel VH4's channel 3.

    Kemper: I went ahead and pulled the trigger

    NICE!! The stock profiles it comes with are not that great. I ended up making my own because I wasn't satisfied with what was out there (including most commercial profiles I've tried). There are some pretty good free ones nowadays on Rig Exchange.

    So... Got a hold of an Axe FX

    It's pretty darn cool. The workflow and routing is cool it's pretty different approach from my KPA.

    So... Got a hold of an Axe FX

    GrooveHT was kind enough to send me his old gen 1 Axe FX Standard to mess with. Yes I know the Gen 2 is a lot better and comparing it to my Kemper is not exactly a fair comparison but either way, here are my initial impressions: It's really nice. Some stuff is a bit better than the kemper...
