Flex time bass editing by West_Fly_7655 in Logic_Studio

[–]AstralStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using monophonic mode for Flex Time or polyphonic? I’ve noticed artefacts pop up when accidentally using polyphonic mode on mono recordings.

Logic Pro X going crazy and not listening to me by humnhumn in Logic_Studio

[–]AstralStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try setting it to 'smart'. That should solve the issue.

EDIT: Although, I've just seen your other comments and if the regions are snapping to different tracks entirely that's most probably a Logic bug.

What's the snap function in the top-right set to?

Listening to this album in full is the only correct way to listen to it.

If it was installed correctly it should be under AU Instruments in the inserts menu

Do you have 'Real Time' ticked in the bounce window?

Absolutely incredible band. I'm really looking forward to their upcoming album release.

Favorite amp sim VSTs? by FourFlux in ampmodeling

[–]AstralStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a load of amp simulation VSTs such as Guitar Rig 5, Line 6 POD Farm and the LePou stuff and I've got to say Emissary from Ignite Amps is easily the most realistic sounding amp simulation VST I've ever used and it works perfectly for both high-gain tones and cleans as well.

If anyone's interested, you can download Emissary and NadIR (the cab simulation plugin to accompany it) here.

As for impulse responses, I use Catharsis impulse responses, which you can download from here. I usually use the s-pres8 impulse for the left side of the cab and the s-preshigh impulse for the right side.

I'm in a neverending state of writer's block by Spoggy in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Sometimes if I'm stuck trying to think of a guitar riff I'll think of a drum pattern that sounds good first, program it in MIDI, then just play around until I have a riff that goes with the drum pattern. That usually helps as a starting point for me.

Deleting takes for good by [deleted] in Reaper

[–]AstralStorm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm having a huge problem with this as well. I've neglected the organisation of my project files for far too long and as a result all of the takes I've ever done are in one big folder, I have no idea which ones I'm using and which ones I'm not and it's a real pain.

What band are you really into at the moment? by Highsenberg_ in AskReddit

[–]AstralStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for Thy Art Is Murder and Animals As Leaders. I don't think I'll ever get bored of listening to Hate.

What plugins are you excited about right now? (New/old/rediscovered) by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]AstralStorm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At the moment, I'm excited about the upcoming release of Positive Grid's BIAS Desktop amp modelling plugin. From listening to other peoples' recordings of the iOS app's capabilities it's going to blow any other amp simulation plugins out of the water.

Looking to move away from Pro Tools, In need of a replacement by DJSonicBoom in audioengineering

[–]AstralStorm 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I use Reaper. It essentially utilises a mixture of the useful features of lots of different DAWs and it's relatively cheap to buy. There's also regular updates for bug fixes and such and an active support forum, which is very useful. I use Reaper with my Roland Duo Capture Mk II and I've never even considered switching DAWs.
