    Guitar under $600 with trem bridge?

    I'm looking for a guitar with a trem brige (non-locking), that costs $600 or less. I've mostly been playing fixed bridge Ibanez guitars for the last 10 years, so not really sure what's good right now with trem bridge guitars.

    Do guitars with Floyd Rose have a brighter tone than guitars with fixed bridge?

    Do floyd rose guitars have a brighter tone and more resonance than fixed bridge guitars in general? Main reason I ask is because I decided to play a floyd rose guitar that I haven't played in a few years. I was surprised at how much brighter and resonant it was compared to the fixed bridge...

    Do you change the way you play when recording?

    When I record, I find myself picking harder to try to get a fuller tone. As well as changing the angle of my pick to be more flat to the string. Usually when I practice or jam I'll have a more angled pick and I play fairly relaxed. But when I record I'll keep the pick as flat as I can to the...

    CD Duplication companies that do under 50 copies?

    Most companies I've checked out like DiscMakers have a 50 minimum order. The only company I'm aware of that will do under 50 is Kunaki, however their quality has been a little dodgy recently. Also, I'm hoping to find a company that will print inserts and backtray as well. If anybody has any...

    What version of Pod Farm is this?

    I've never used Pod Farm before, but I want to try it out. I noticed there's videos of people using what seems to be a more basic version of Pod Farm. For example, in this video I noticed the plugin says "Pod Farm Preamps" instead of "Pod Farm 2.5". Is this a different version of Pod Farm, like...

    Combining Amp Sims for better tone?

    Has anyone tried combining different amp sims to get a better, fuller tone? Like duplicating a guitar track and trying a different amp sim for each one. Are there any potential phase issues when doing this? I'm aware that rhythm guitars Left and Right should be different takes, but what about...

    How to monitor fx while recording DI?

    I'm new to using amp sims and recording DI's. I hear a lot of you guys recording with the amp sims enabled and monitoring on, but I'm getting a ton of latency. I'm using a Scarlett audio interface and even with the ASIO buffer size set to 1.0 ms I'm getting about a half second delay...
