    Suggestions on recording procedure of a few guitar tracks are needed.

    What's the purpose of the recording and what DAW are you using? If your recordings just have to be good enough to share with other musicians and participate in writing/composition, you might just get some plugins and simplify your setup by simply running into the laptop and letting the DAW...

    Schecter KM-7 (Keith Merrow) Signature Thread

    I've had that issue with several import guitars (and several Schecters, which I continue to buy and love anyway) in the past. Fortunately, it has been a cheap, easy fix for my luthier so it hasn't completely turned me off from them.

    New plugin from Neural DSP! Archetype: Plini

    Get the Plini and you get 20% off the Nameless so...get both. ;)

    New plugin from Neural DSP! Archetype: Plini

    Every time I try to edit the presets to make an original tone, I end up a/b testing it with the preset and so far, my version has not once won out over the preset. The most I edit the settings now is adjusting the noise gate.

    New plugin from Neural DSP! Archetype: Plini

    While I don't know of a market/hub for user-created presets, I'd argue that all the Neural VSTs come with enough badass presets that I can't imagine you'd need more. Nameless in particular comes with a boatload of presets, far more than the others.

    Allegaeon - Apoptosis

    Having now listened to Apoptosis in a loud bar, I can say only that it is brutal. I'll have to give it a more careful, isolated listen another time.

    Sounds sick, man! Super crisp and clean, love the tones and the production overall.

    Allegaeon - Apoptosis

    Lucky that I'm from Colorado and have met Greg a couple of times - dated a girl who was good friends with his wife at the time. Headed to an Apoptosis listening party tonight, actually - I'll hit up the thread with a full review tomorrow!

    Schecter KM-7 (Keith Merrow) Signature Thread

    Yeah agreed. I dig the guitar - it's the perfect combination of woods and electronics that I was looking for - but if I had it all to do over again, I mayyy have chosen differently.

    Schecter KM-7 (Keith Merrow) Signature Thread

    I'm a tad disappointed that the neck on my KM MK-III Artist is a bit uneven, leading to some buzz that my luthier can't combat with a simple truss adjustment. Looking at a full setup to bring the frets down and minimize the effect, which isn't the worst or most expensive thing, but it's a shame...

    New plugin from Neural DSP! Archetype: Plini

    Just downloaded the trial versions of the NTS, Nameless, and Plini, and all of them kick a ton of ass. It's going to be tough to choose between them, though I'm leaning Plini because of the FX and dedicated clean/crunch amps. Still, the NTS and Nameless have absolutely devastating rhythm tones...

    Oh hi there

    I'm 34, based in Denver, and I've been playing for 20 years or so now. My old band was Seris (you can find out album Rises on Spotify still) but we used 6-strings there. My new band (tentatively called Lightswarm) will be all 7 string stuff. I have been playing and writing on a Schecter ATX-7...

    Schecter KM-7 (Keith Merrow) Signature Thread

    Loving it. The pickups are great and it plays super fast. Definitely a metal/shredder guitar. The pickups are pretty hot for Logic's onboard patches, though, so it might not replace my Schecter ATX-7 for recording rhythms.

    Schecter KM-7 (Keith Merrow) Signature Thread

    Picking up a Keith Merrow Mk-III Artist tomorrow AM - pretty amped about it.
