Riffs & Recordings | Forum profile

I already know how to make it sound older by taking the bass out and such, but how do you get that grainy effect (like on a vinyl record)? Is it an effect, a background recording or what?

ive learnt most of the songs i wanted to, so i was gonna give making riffs/songs a go, but i cant seem to come up with anything and i didnt bother learning chords, do you think if i learnt chords it would give me a bit more direction of what i want to play? and reccomend some good chords for metal

Ok i have a stock PC and have been using fruity loops and cubase. I am using the ASIO drivers as this cuts latency.

Do you guys know if I can use Toneport with Amplitube, or Revalver? I'm buying a Toneport UX2 tomorrow, and I intend on using Amplitube alot, seeing as I don't have a mic yet. Also, do you know how well the latency is? I hear it's absolutely perfect. I just don't want to be stuck with shitty Line 6 Modeled tone, I'd rather use Amplitube to record. Input GREATLY appreciated ~Jess

Hello, just wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on my singing. -- In my profile under "Vocal Test" I've been singing for just over a year, before that I was too embarrassed and couldn't even sing with the radio in my car :-/...luckily I got over the fear, somewhat. Please let me know your honest opinions and if you have any pointers. Thanks!

When i write songs i use either slower riffs that consist of a fair amount of chords plaid in a more chunky-er progression and fast progressions that conist of few chords, and someone mentioned that because of that, the fact that some songs that ive written are pretty simple, and i don't like learning alot of other peoples songs, he says it just flat out means i suck, so i was wondering if it ...

Every so often I hear a band on UG with GREAT sound quality, and beautiful mixing. So I come with a question UGers, taking into mind I play metal, what is a great way to get BIG guitar sound?
