its all a matter of experimenting..but..get your original sound right to start with
i'd never use a plugin to ' achieve ' a sound..but do use them to enhance what iv'e
already recorded..this is how i work..perhaps others will input their preferences
i think latency is the biggest problem when working with plugins in real time

always input your preferred sound via line in or microphone
dont try to create it with a plug in..( you will have to monitor the i/p and you
will have latency ) plugins are great for timping the recorded sound afterdwards
ie..eq compression ets....ez drummer is as good as any other rhythm source ( inc live drums )
if it is programmed right ..but never base your music on drums...any great tune can be played to
a metronome or even less...record bass as per guitar then compression and ' editing 'can
tighten it up to the drum track ( if youre recording to a sequencer )..multiband compression is a must for sorting recorded sounds
record your vx dry as a bone and only use limiting/compression to eliminate 'overs'
use a good mike for anything acoustic

football is the no.1 game..period...............its the biggest
money spinner of all sports ....the life and death of clubs depends on
results..good results..so why should the destiny of a football club / business
be decided on by third party human error/incompetence ( ie referees )..isn't it about time
in this multi million pound profession that technology be employed ( ie the 'third referee' )
and let common sense prevail ......rugby uses it with the complete acceptance of the
punters ...and its never questioned

just a thought ....players make some tremendous ( laughable ) cock ups
referees make tremendous cock ups ...but not many laughs come from them ..erm

i wonder how many git players are football fans ????????? 99.9%+

not into this type of stuff ...but full credit ...it is excellently played and recorded
well done daniele..you must have loads of followers ..esp live gigs

it must hear a mix slightly different to ' normal listeners ' the main issues are cymbals / hihats
etc....but i hate cymbals anyway...cant see the point of them..so i never use them ( hardly )...i've got use to this though and never have any trouble with recording or mixing...sometimes somebody might pipe in and say ' the hihats are a bit loud...but thats about it ( so i've got use to mixing hihats a bit lower )
but i would really take the http://www.hear-more.com/musician.htm advise very very seriously

i wonder how beethoven went about it??...mind you with some of the sh!te being produced today
i bet he wouldn't have it any other way

know what you mean ...i have permanent high freq loss and tinnitus as a result of playing and  working in v loud studios/bands...you must wear good ear defenders when listening ( or playing) very loud music ( not ear plugs )you'll hear all the music clearly but at attenuated volumes  dont forget ear damage is irreversible esp high freq

quick fix...if your at a very loud gig..roll a bit of tissue up into a pea sized ball ...wet it ( with saliva ..or if your from yorkshire ..spit) ..and gently block your lug hole ( dont push it into the ear )

this is better than getting your ears blasted...make sure you take it out though before someone starts nibbling your ear
