Drop the Sun
-We are losing him!

This is my latest song, i recorded all the guitars and bass with POD HD500 (like always).

Not bad. Very bass-heavy. It works, though.

On another note, we need to meet up, and play a show with my band and then your solo project, in that order.

Ha ha! Oh man!
We should do that!

I'll have to listen your music tomorrow (now it's sleepy time). Cheers!

For the ones who don't know, Flash Memory update 2.10 is available. I didn't know until yesterday. They had more HD Amps

Enjoy!

Welcome to the party. Your about 10-15 pages too late on the firmware and about 50 pages too late on the input 2 discussion......

 

[Alekke]

why I never had the input 2 problem? Is it normal to use "same" as input 2 or am I doing it all wrong this whole time?

I've always used input 2 as same with no problems. Now I have everything in path A though, so I don't think it even matters what input 2 is set too.

There are various opinions on that. If you use Variax instead of same it cuts the signal. Its as if same doubles the input signal, so you have to run your gain way lower on the amps.

I think it does make a difference, but you can generally dial around it either way. I think it is more noticeable on clean tones because it can cause them to distort more...

 

[MF_Kitten]

Using "same" gives you a way too loud signal at the start of the chain, and there are phase issues, kinda. Use "Variax" if you can.

Guys, sorry if it has been already said, but i really need your help: what do you guys use as drum software? Does anyone know a decent free software? I've recorded some nice stuff but i really need a drum software!

 

[Mega-Mads]

UPDATE!

I recieved a huge salary bonus from my job(i've been doing 3 peoples jobs for the first half of the year).


IM GETTING AN ENGL POWERBALL II NEXT WEEK!

YAY!!!!

 

[Allealex]

Thank you for the advice rick! really cannot spend 300 dollars right now (i'm going to buy my first seven so NGD incoming!)

 

[PettyThief]

Illegal software downloading is terrible advice.

ezDrummer goes on sale quite often, may be worthwhile to wait it out. And it's only $80 for the standard install anyway.

 

[Shask]

They just had EZD on sale for $40 not too long ago.

I got SSD4 Essentials for $20.

It is not hard to find a good deal on drum software....

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

nice!!!

How are the Peavy 50/50 and the Peavey 60/60?
Nice poweramps, or meh?

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

But seriously, I just sold my powerball 2. My pod can get way better tones, is less to carry, and can record in an instant instead of fussing with mic placement.

Or, I know this is blasphemy in this thread, buy an axe-fx 2. Still cheaper and once again, way better tones than the powerball. I'm pretty sure anyone on the forum would agree with me on this.

Or, you can do whatever you want, because I'm just some guy on the Internet that you've never met.

OR, I have a song recorded with my powerball and several done with my pod to compare on my soundcloud if your interested.....

Well my pod is coming HOME with me Its currently in my practice space. I fell in love when i tried the powerball II.
Its kinda win/win. Because the pod comes home to do what it was intedted to do(record stuff with). The powerball will do what it does best. Getting cranked up and rock =)
