If you have the cash to throw around, I'd check out Addictive Drums 2. I'm a drummer and I find that I prefer the sounds of Addictive Drums.

I have noticed that the sustain on my ESP ec-1000 has been complete shit lately compared to my other guitars. A few months ago the bridge pickup would go in and out until I wiggled the cord a bit,but eventually it stopped doing that. Do you think it is the pickup or something else? I have...

I am completely new to mixing and recording, so I am looking for as much feedback as I can to help improve my mixes. I have 3 different clips, each of them with a different guitar tone and different mixes. Please let me know if there is one that you like the sound of or what could be improved...

Just threw together another mix with a different tone. I stole the riff from toolfanem on the fractal audio forums/soundcloud, so credit goes to him for my shitty rendition of it. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/44864413/Ian_comp5.mp3

Yea, when I ordered they said it would take about 5 months, but it ended up at 10 in the end. I don't mind though...I realize that they were very busy. They always gave updates on the progress and it turned out great!

This was a fantastic video...thanks! That makes me appreciate the neck on my guitar so much more.

Just recorded something simple to see what it sounds like in a mix. My mixing skills are terrible, and so is the bass tone :P Guitar and bass played through the AxeFX2 with my Solar 7. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/44864413/Ian_comp3.mp3

Yea, I'm not sure. Looks like maybe something dripped on it in the manufacturing process...You would think after 10 months of being made that it would come out perfect :/ The guitar plays very nice though. I love the pickups, and I don't mind the huge neck thickness and large scale as much as I...

Just wondering what maintenance routines are necessary right when you get a new guitar, to get it sounding the best it can.

After about 10 months of waiting, my Strictly 7 Solar 7S finally arrived... Joining the rest of the family... Strictly 7 - Solar 7S Matte Black Duncan Distortions Stainless Steel Frets 27.5″ Ebony Fingerboard Body Wood: Northern Ash Neck Wood: 7-pc maple/walnut neck...

I have the Blackjack and it is by far my favorite guitar to play. I put some thicker strings on it since I play mostly in dropped tunings. The Blackouts on it are awesome!

Just wondering what are the first things people do to mesh a guitar and bass track to make it feel "one".

I have reaper, but I have no idea how to get this all working so that I can play live using the ezmix guitar sounds. I have an AxeFXII (i know i know, I am just curious what the new metal ezmix pack sounds like), so is there any way for me to use my AxeFX to get this working?

So let me ask you guys....what is the easiest, cheapest, best sounding way to hook up my guitar to this EZmix guitar program? (I have a PC)

I have been learning scales over the past 2 years, and there are certain ones that appeal to me more than others...for example I really dig the phrygian and diminished scales. I love listening to Jeff Loomis shred. All I know how to do at this point is learn 1 or 2 positions of the scale...

Mine is being made right now...just got an update that it is being painted. I should hopefully have my Solar 7 in the next few weeks! :shred:

Very nice! Sounds amazing. Is that on firmware 7.0? Any chance you could share your preset? Also, what kind of post processing are you using on the guitars?

Sounds good! It seems like the heavy background guitar has a bit too much bass to it. I feel like this guitar should have almost no bass frequencies, and then you want a nice bass track sitting right in the middle and not panned. Seems a little muddy with so much bass panned left and right.

Looking to learn a few new tunes....What are a few of your favorite drop C songs?

Hey guys, Listen to the guitar tone in this video... then listen to the exact same preset in this video... Why does it sound so much better in the 2nd video? I assume it is dual tracked. He says there is no post processing, but why does that 2nd video sound so much better and less noisy?
