Hey,
I was experimenting this morning using all button mode on my wa76s to drive distortion on a lead vocal.
How do people usually go about this ?
I am running logic so use its utility i/o plug and I do understand it has its on i/o as well.
thx !

For dirt, I like to leave all the ratio buttons out and just crank the input and attenuate the output. |

I've never had much overdrive-type distortion from the 4-button trick. Slamming the input of a comp (like Ragan was saying) or preamp tend to be better for that sort of thing. Each piece of gear does it in it's own way.
Tip; compress the signal before pushing it into distortion so that you're getting a more even-handed saturation and not just hitting the peaks. It's a more uniform distortion instead of the ugly clipping from the dynamic peaks hitting hard.

Thx Bowie. I was getting some artifacts with 4 button mode, but was curious |

I use it on punk vocals but make the singer back up from the mic. Sounds really gnarly. Thanks -L. |

After listening to the track, not only do I now have a hole in my head, but I am bleeding from every orifice of my body. Cool track, heavy vocal, cheers to the ladies from Syracuse.

Since we are sharing tunes: here is what I came up with: my new tune "something new again". thx to Rick, Shane, Martin , Dan and Ragan for getting their ears on this as it developed. oh and to Wiz, this whole tune got started playing my acoustic guitar outside one sunny day and I had the Music memo record app that he recommended on my iphone: otherwise it would probably have been lost: thx Wiz ! soundcloud.com/kcatthedog/something-new-again-27 |
