I preordered the rokpak and although some have argued that it's overpriced, I feel it's worth every penny. Ok, moving along...
I'm getting ready to begin tracking guitars for my first full album and will be using the RokPak profiles heavily if not exclusively.
The one thing I was a bit surprised about with the profiles is the amount of gain that some of them are set at. I know that when tracking and stacking high gain guitar tracks, one doesn't want to use a ton of gain on each track that's going to be doubled etc. Many of the higher gain RokPak profiles sound like they're set more for jamming than for "push record and start tracking. I'm asking if MW will chime in here and maybe offer his 2 cents on how much gain to dial in when stacking double tracked guitars etc. I think I have a pretty good feel for this, but would love to hear from the man himself and if he has a suggested methodology for getting great results.
MW, thanks again for the great profiles and could you spare a moment to share some insight on this for me?
thanks,
Steve
