I've used lite with 8 tracks for years. Standard has unlimited tracks and other options available , but if you're just starting out you may prefer a different DAW as Ableton is mostly for electronic music, although I use it for everything.

I have upgraded to Ableton Live standard after many years of using the lite version that only gave me 8 tracks. The only downside of Ableton is that it tends to crash, but you can always recover when it unexpectedly shuts down. I recorded heavy guitar rigs, live drums and works fine paired with Focusrite Scarlett.

The rack effect is a American vertin Aphex Aural exciter powered from 110v supply. So I don't know how it would benefit if I check my current amps fx outputs? Unless I misread what you meant.

Don't get me even started! 😁

I use two amps , one is set to get vintage ,nasally sound no pedals. The other has more treble and a bit of gain, compressor, eq and a touch of presence. I play these together to get the sound I'm after. This is noticeable when both are miced and play through headphones or listen back in DAW.

Hi, before I electrocute myself I thought I ask a question.i bought a rack effect American version runs on 110 v and of course american plug. Would any step do n adaptor, UK to USA 230v -110 v work like this one thanks.

I think cases are like car modifications.

I think it's important to understand if there is a loss of hearing and/or loss of certain frequencies the final mix won't be perfect. I don't think I am ever happy with my mixes as I know what sounds almost good to me in reality may be a muddy mix. I've recently watched an engineer on you tube explaining a subwoofer. When you hear the bass coming out from the subwoofer, you turn the bass frequency down until you can barely hear it from the subwoofer. My music room is narrower than longer. I made corner bass traps in a shape of a toblerone from rockwool and bass trap panels for front and back wall, and side walls. There is a thread about it in BC. I don't think there is a correct answer as everyone hears differently, I often use a reference song which seems to help a lot.

The answer is : wait.....wait.... Step drill bit... sorted

Old thread but never ending hunt for that Steve Harris sound. Steve has used different rigs over the years, you can tell that each album has slightly different frequency range. Piece of mind is particularly nasally sounding, whilst SIT and SSOASS has contour and bright. I recently added vintage setting on my bass combo for TNOTB sound.

I played quite a few amateur gigs as a teenager in a metal scene in 80's and 89's. Maybe in 80' and 90's, but now, no thanks. As mentioned above being a full time Vs famous? I would opt for the latter. Unfortunately, thanks to AI , I'd say good luck to everyone. It won't be long before you have a hologram band playing in pubs. I can't wait to see one playing locally tbh. Can you imagine a drunk punter interacting with a hologram?

My only concern is, what do they do with the returned products, resale? I know Amazon tends to bin some perfectly new returned item.

I'd get Tech21 Steve Harris Sig to see if it's as good as the reviews say. Wish shops let you take one home for a week and try?

I bought fender flats and they had zing. They don't last as long as rounds tbh, but I play finger style and with correct amp settings I get the tone I need. I recently boiled my flats and they regained the zinginess. Horses for courses.

Have you tried flat strings?

Get a drum machine, problem solved

Not sure people going Sunday lunch would like listening to Metal

The type of music I like mate, and the time they start is mostly at 9pm. There are occasions bands play afternoon gigs at festivals etc and being home at 7pm would be ideal. Probably more opportunities over the pond.

Who, the grumpy gits?

Apart from a fe grumpy gits 😁...only kidding.... fantastic forum, I found out that a bass actually has tuners not just string...

I recently removed all the strings, boiled them for 10 minutes, cleaned the fretboard with lemon oil then restrung. Bass had no tension on neck overnight, did I worry? Nope. Works fine .
