Impact Soundworks Shreddage stuff

Sam is alive! I still own my Standard so nothing has really changed much that I'm aware of. Glad to see the torch has stayed lit and burning rather brightly here at the forum :) Anyways, the point of the thread is: who here uses the Shreddage stuff and how has it worked out for you? What DAW...

DAW and OS upgrading worth the money?

So I'm a Pro Tools 10 user running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a MBP with 8 gigs of RAM. But before I had the 8 gigs, I had 2 and noticed that whenever I'd use certain plugins (CLA, Izotope, Ozone I'm looking at you guys) they'd eat a lot of RAM and even spectacularly crashed Pro Tools a couple of...

A 2 year experience with the Axe Fx..

It's been an interesting journey really. I bought my Axe Fx Standard back around this time 2 years ago and still remember how excited I was to own what was deemed "the end-all" guitar processor. Back in the days when there was no waitlist, very limited quantities, and sometimes even sold for...

Hey guys I haven't been on the forum in quite a while due to my phone being dropped too many times and might as well be a brick :razz Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the symptoms I've been experiencing now for 3 months approximately. In short, my hands just don't work...

Some rock stuff using the Axe Fx + Beta OH IR

So I have come out of my ball of laziness and did me some engineering after like 6+ months of being stagnant. Gotta say for being rusty, I improved somehow :lol although there are some things I can fix of course. This is a song from the band I'm in. All guitars used the good old Standard with...

Just saw Red Hot Chili Peppers @ LA

My God I almost cried. It was amazing. Flea is just stunning and Chad is a powerhouse. Anthony still has the pipes and was walking on his hands. The new guy Josh was pretty good too although there were parts where his cleans were getting drowned out. I'm glad I finally got to see the band...

Fooling around with some Djentish type of tones

Just messing with some djent patches of the sort I had made a while back and decided to reupdate them as I now have a better idea of what I'm doing. At least that's what I hope :lol. I'll probably end up double tracking as I only tracked one guitar per side and it doesn't quite do it for me...

anybody notice an increase in price for tube amps?

Crikey I got the Sweetwater catalogue and saw the prices for the Mesa stuff. Good thing I'm not out to buy a tube amp (or at least not Mesa) because that kinda hurt to look. Apparently some Google searching shows that Mesa has been hiking prices over the last 5 years. I'm pretty sure I saw other...

Sylosis/metalcore tone type test

I haven't really done much with the Axe in a while but boredom can be a powerful tool so here is an attempt at getting a proximate tone of the band Sylosis after reading up on the amp types they used. I gotta admit, I was skeptic at first after reading that they used a Marshall Plexi, JCM 800...

Mixing headphone suggestions?

So my trusty AKG 240 studios just randomly crapped out on me which made me sadfaced. I honestly don't even know why one side just died as I didn't drive them hard, definitely not hard enough to distort or close since I don't like being deaf and am wary of good ol fletcher-munson curves. So now I...
