Splitting a guitar signal to mic an amp w. FX and dry signal to interface. Advice?

Hi, guys. So here's the deal. I want to be able to mic my amp with my stompbox(es) effecting the signal as well as have a dry signal that I can apply sims and stuff to after tracking. I have some specific gear that I THINK might be able to make this happen but I'd like to hear what you pros have to ..

Control Experiment - suggestions?

I'm using Sonar X1 and some soft synths to produce instrumental electronic music. Final results when listening outside my studio have not been good, with the songs really not sounding like the original wav at all. This is not though a normal post about songs not translating well. I would like to try..

Honey and Lemon for Instant Vox

'Just got over a cold/flu ... so I made a questionable syrup: 50% Honey and 50% Lemon .. and some of my wife's ginger (warmed via the microwave then stirred). I did standard 'some' vocal warm-ups and ponder/conclude: 1) the medicine may have helped. 2) the honey-lemon syrup worked quickly (in ..

D major scale melody on a G major staff

Some of you know, I'm a sound tech that is weak on music theory. I've been working on a song I received as sheet music for piano and vocal melody. It was written on a staff with a G major key signature so I transcribed it into MIDI and am playing the piano back using Kontakt. I stumbled upon the ide..

So how do you guys mic you guitar amp?

Obviously lots of options here with different mics and placement, etc. Just wondering what techniques you guys are using and what your 'do to' setup is. My SM57 has been retired due to old age and being dropped too many times by careless people. I picked up an AUDIX i5 just to try something differen..

Gain staging, summing, FX bin and ProChannel

I read a good thread sometime ago that gave a basic rule of thumb on summing. X number of tracks use X amount db on track output which should be a value less than what the bus output is set to. More tracks, less track output. Makes sense for summing. Now for gain staging, especially when using plugi..

Is it OKAY to use presets?

What's up, everyone! I'll start by saying this isn't a thread to question the legality or terms-of-use for presets and plugins. This thread is to question your personal opinion on whether using presets is okay? In my opinion, as long as you change something slightly so that it's not exactly the same..

Console Emu and "modern" music

A couple of months ago I demo'ed and purchased Slate'S RC-Tube. I had tried it on a relatively sparse/ambient mix and absolutely loved the effect. Yesterday, while working on a much tighter/heavier song, I decided to give it a try to see if it could add something desirable to the mix. The results we..

Split Harmonizer effect with sonar tools.

I decided to try my hand at using the Split Harmonizor effect on my current project. I wanted to keep everything 64 bit to eliminate bridging and the associated problems. I was not able to find a free Split Harmonizer that was 64 bit so I tried to emulate one with the tools in sonar. I created 3 ste..
