About Spectre Sound Studios:
I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. On my channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and plugin effects.
We've covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed.
Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on this channel!
I also respond to your comments & questions: The best make it into the SMG Viewer's Comments series of videos. Loads of fun, lots of laughs.
Thanks for checking out my channel & please subscribe!

Sorry for the unrelated question, but how are Memphis and Nashville for musicians these days?
@greenwithenvyband8505 5 жыл бұрын
12ealDeal it's good, but competition can be rough... We broke out of the mold pretty easily only due to a unique sound... the metal community is great as well, but bands here are rather good or utter shit. There is no in-between haha. These people down here dont care for the cookie-cutter run of the mill metal band. So as long as you're unique you will atleast succeed locally.

I absolutely love Orange Amps. I play a Bass Terror through an Orange 1x15. Top quality gear that can take a lot of abuse and sound great. Cheers Mr. Cooper! Cheers from Ottawa, even though I'm a useless bass player.

I play a dual terror with a custom 1×12 and I agree, best giging amp I've ever used. Serious abuse and keeps going.. Shame they're so heavy and expensive these days

There were 2 that stood out. One was a Rockerverb 50 head. Although it sounded great it had a weird problem that would come and go. It turned out to be a bad relay. The one I liked best was a 1-12 combo. I don't remember the model. It might have been a little lower wattage.

Hey Glenn !
