I'm trying to pinpoint the key components that go into getting a tone that makes everything "easier" to play. Often I've struggled with tones that might sound good, but they punish you for every little note not fretted or picked with 100% accuracy. There have been times I've played through amps...

I've posted in here before about my problems and frustrations with recording. Feels like I've tried everything, but I don't know how others get that pro sound. When I ask how they do it, or explain my issues, I just get deer in headlights look. I've even gone to professionals who's own music...

I'm having trouble getting Reaper to accept my Yeti mic. I went into preferences, selected the following: I set up the settings per a tutorial I watched: But when I click "OK" it gives me this error:

Some of my music snob friends are telling me that my guitar solo here clashes with the chords underneath. I personally don't hear it. I think it sounds sick. Thoughts?

Thinking about just gutting the setup I've got so far and just starting over from scratch. I have my reasons for wanting to do this. To make a long story short, it really just boils down to the fact that I've struggled immensely for 4 solid years now to make good recordings and have exhaustively...

I want to use the IRs and turn the volume down rather than run it into my Marshall tube amp at home. I've been running it into my Mackie CR3 monitors, but to me they don't really sound good, and they're just way too woofie with the bass. Was wondering if there was something better that would...

Look to level up my recording gear. Was wondering what a good step up from a Focusrite interface is? Something that is more like a mixer, but not too expensive.

Just seeing what people thought of these. Who on here has one? What your opinion on overall quality, sound, playability? Good guitars for the money, or cheap hunk of junk? I've heard mixed opinions. I love the way they look. They're right up my alley of 80s shred guitars. Thought about buying...

For years I’ve suffered from sub standard recorded sounds and I’ve been trying to diagnose why that is. It finally dawned on me today that perhaps its the cable I’m using to connect from my focusrite solo interface to my computer. Somewhere along the line I lost the cable that came with the...

Had a couple wires come loose. Looks like one is from the neck pickup, and the other is a black wire that looks like its supposed to run from the toggle switch to possibly the potentiometer. Its a MiM san dimas with HH config. Only one volume pot, non coil splitting, and one 3 way toggle. Can...

Been looking at this one, and I want one. For no other reason than its just beautiful and I've never owned a Les Paul, and feel like its a guitar I NEED to own. How do you think Epi Paul's stack up?

I’ve come to the conclusion that sex is just cringe and gay. No matter if its gay, straight or what have you. Every act of sex is a gay act. To have sex and to cum is to be gay. So-called “straight” sex is arguably more gay bc it involves women. Women are faggots, ergo straight sex is gay sex...

My friend who's a bass player and myself are going to be spending 2 weeks out at the beach in the Carolinas this July, and wanted to see if we could get out and perform outdoors in the beach town while we're there. Prolly going to come prepared with about 1.5 hrs of classics rock/metal songs if...

Long story short, I've been asked to play a wedding for my friend. I don't have a band and I don't sing. I could just show up and play random shit, shred, and play random songs just with my guitar, but I think I have enough time to do backing tracks, and set up a halfway decent gig. I made a...

https://extreme-band.com/ Saw their first tweet the other day which appeared to tease a new album with lyrics and artwork. If you check the site, it looks like each day they reveal one of the new squares. 12 squares total, so it looks to me like each square represents a song from the album...

Looking for helpful tips/advice on the best to find serious musicians for band, or finding a serious band to join. I live more out in the sticks, so it can be tough for me, but I don't mind commuting wherever I need to for practice and gigs. I just can't ever find serious people. It's like for...

Was wondering if there were some Fractal guys here who could help set me in the right direction? Please see video below. Thanks!

Been looking into the FM3 for the working cover band I’ve got now, but I can’t justify spending that much rn. notice some of the older floor models like the FX8 go for about half the price in some cases. How do these old ones stack up to the newer ones like the FM3? Do they sound as good? Can...

I've been trying to find a good baseline for writing/recording original hair metal style songs, and for the longest time I couldn't figure out why even though I played similar riffs to those big bands of the 80s, I always sounded heavier and more aggressive than them, closer to thrash in some...

Not sure how many of you can relate to this, but I just need to vent for a minute. So, I’ve never been able to write songs. I’ve got good chops on guitar, I’ll give myself that. I’ve got killer technique, so I don’t want to sell myself short. But I’ve tried for so long to write songs, even...
