Definitely liked it. Personally, I don't use the guitar3 too much but certainly handy for getting a basic track and won't wake the neighbors when wanting an overdrive track. Had been using a VG99 but still not especially happy with it and keep going back to the mic on a mesa boogie amp. ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Steel To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 11:31 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: My First Recording Hi Dave I used my real drum set it is a peral export and I have the sanhyzer e604 drum mikes as well as the e602 bass drum mike. I used an sm57 on the hi-hat and 2 barenger mikes for the cimbles. I tracked the drums on all 8 channels of the 1620i. I used the guitar rig 3 le plugin and I made 2 custom presets. I ran my bass straight in the board and I threw the sonetis eq bass boost preset to give it some extra low end. It was 11 tracks total. As for the drums I put the pc64 on all the tracks with different presets for each track and I put the sonetis eq on each one and set them differently for each one. So that was how I got a good mix. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Hillebrandt To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 8:20 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: My First Recording Pretty Jammin. Congrats for your first project. Could hear everything and quite a spirited performance. What did you use for drums? I enjoyed it though don't listen to speed metal too much. Did you mic amp or direct from an effects unit.
