    Music like Casualties of Cool?

    I know I'm not the only one who absolutely loves this album. I think it's one of the coolest things Devin has done and I come back to it quite frequently. Are there any other bands or albums with a similar kind of progressive/folk/bluegrass/ambient/experimental sound?

    My 1st EP: Colorado Sky - "Stormchaser"

    After a few years of recording, self doubt, and re-recording, I finally put out an EP. It was mixed and mastered by the great @WidekMusic and I'm thrilled with the work he did. https://coloradosky.bandcamp.com/album/stormchaser...

    Weird noise problem with Matrix power amp

    I've been having a strange noise issue with my Matrix GT800FX for a few months now. It only seemed to start after I moved to a different state, so maybe something got jostled in transport, who knows. I'm attaching a video with an example. Basically, for the first minute or so that I turn the amp...

    Good headphones for recording acoustic

    I'm trying to find a good solution for monitoring myself while recording mic'd acoustic guitar. Currently I'm just using my Bose QC25s, which aren't monitor headphones but had the least bleed compared to my others. I adjusted my click tone and low passed the ear mix a bit to avoid click bleed...

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals

    What kind of deals have y'all run into for studio nerdery? I upgraded from Studio One 2 to Studio One 4 for $75 (50% off) and got the Neural DSP Darkglass plugin for 30% off. Not bad! I was hoping for some better deals from Slate. I wanted to buy the VMR, but their business model seems to have...

    Progressive/math/avant garde music in pop culture

    I recently watched the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale (amazing show, by the way), and at the end of episode 4 my ear was caught by a very interesting song. Relatively simple arrangement, with a nice major piano melody and string accompaniment… Wait a second? Is that 15/8? In a Hulu show...

    Post-rock/progressive track (FFO Cloudkicker, Isis)

    Hey all, After many hours of writing, recording, and mixing, I finally finished a track I had been working on for a while. This is the first time I really spent a long time meticulously editing the drums in the MIDI roll and seriously mixing each element. Also the first time I sent it off for...

    Anybody have experience recording sax?

    Hey everybody. I have a friend who's a phenomenal sax player. I have a passage on a song that we've been talking about him recording a part on for a while. Admittedly, I haven't read too much into recording sax so I figured I'd ask if anyone here has done it. I have a decent/cheap MXL condenser...

    Mouth of the Architect

    Anyone listen to these guys? They've been around for quite a while now, but I had never heard their music until an interview with them popped up on my Facebook feed the other day. I was really intrigued by the concept of their new album, Path of Eight, so I gave it a listen and was really...

    COntrolling Axe FX whammy with MIDI CC

    Hey all, I'm working on a song right now and there's a lead that I want to pitch up at specific intervals. I don't have an expression pedal so I would like to just use my DAW to send MIDI CC messages to make it happen. However, I'm lost on how to do this. First, my set up. I'm recording via an...

    Guitar posture

    Hey everybody, I've been playing guitar for about 10 years now. I took a few months of lessons back when I was starting off, really just to learn things like how to hold a pick and alternate pick, play a pentatonic scale, that kind of thing. Aside from that, as soon as I learned to write and...

    Lo-fi radio effect

    I'm wondering if anyone has some good tricks or VSTs for achieving a lo-fi sort of radio effect. Filtering is obviously a part of it, but are there any good VSTs for getting crackles, radio tuning effects, and that sort of thing?

    Building a PC recording rig... 32 or 64 bit?

    Hey all. I've been using my MacBook Pro to record for the past few years and decided it's time to upgrade to a little more horsepower (the ol boy just can't handle very many plug-ins at once, let alone multiple programs open at the same time). To save some cash, I'm going to build my own PC. I...

    Searching for dat bass tone.

    Hey y'all. I've been playing bass for quite a while now, but I only recently decided to get more serious about getting a great tone for the mix. Most recently I've been recording a DI once and then getting 3 tracks from that: a) DI through my tube preamp, b) slightly driven Ampeg amp in Guitar...

    Trouble with VST randomly loading wrong preset during playback

    So I'm having some trouble with Reaktor 5, and the NI support forum did not look too promising, so I figured I'd ask here. I load Reaktor as an instrument on a track and throw a MIDi file I'd programmed for a synth on the track. I choose my synth in Reaktor, but whenever I do any kind of...

    Some non-djent instrumental prog for y'all.

    Hey folks, Recently started a new band and we have one demo so far. Not much to preface here, it's all instrumental and moves between the ambient/melodic and the heavier. When we play live, both guitar parts will be played by me using two amps and loopers, so I had the challenge of creating...

    Actium (FREE download. Prog; FFO: Cloudkicker, BTBAM, Isis, etc)

    Hey folks. I've been bouncing around these forums a bit the past few months and wanted to post the EP my band and I just finished. Navene is mixing and mastering our full length once we're finished with it (very soon, hopefully), but the recording process has been very drawn out and delayed...

    Some help to improve my clean tone?

    Hey all, I'm currently working on this here song. It consists mostly of very clean parts, including a lot of two handed tapping riffs... which, in addition to being a pain in the ass to play :lol:, required a pretty specific tone to work. I'm pretty happy with the overall tone I've gotten but...

    Full song from new album. Prog metal, ambience, acoustic, and vocals.

    Hey y'all. Here's one of the songs from my band Actium's upcoming album. The album will be mixed by Navene Koperweis, so this is just a pretty rough mix, especially in regards to the vocals. This one starts off at a pretty frantic pace but settles into a nice ambient interlude with some slapback...

    Building a rackmount PC for recording?

    Hey all, I'm considering building a custom Hackintosh for desktop recording but I love having all my recording gear organized by rackmount. I've seen some people mention getting custom rackmount PC's, but I was wondering if anybody knows of a decent rackmount chassis case to build a custom...
