How to make a "wah" lead guitar sound less shrill?

Hi all, so I have this song with the following, all on seperate tracks: Drums, Bass, Distorted Rhythm Electric Guitar, and Distorted Lead Electric on a Crybaby Wah Pedal.
I'm happy with everything except the Lead Guitar track. The wah makes it sound shrill, ear-splittingly so. I recorded by sticking a mic in front of the guitar amp (me using headphones).
I've fiddled with a it a bit, and but can't really find a way to "warm up" the sound of that lead guitar.
I'll attach an mp3 if anyone wants to hear it.
Any suggestions?

Since I'm bored...
Here are some graphs just to give you an idea of how crazy some guitar pedals are and how much they filter the audio....
The first one (MT-2 AC (Un-modified - Full gain).jpg) is a graph of an unmodified pedal. Notice the peaks and how drastic it changes the sound...
The second one (MT-2 (Modified - Full gain).jpg) is a graph of a modified pedal that eliminates the three fixed boost circuits but allows the 3 tone controls to still function...
The modified pedal does less to the audio and allows the person (or persons) mixing the sound to control where those peaks will be and how much gain there will be...
Erg... Have to go now...

How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

@nalinss
There are two ways: "Save as.." usually optimises size, but there is also "Optimize PDF" in the menu with many options what to exclude and to reduce in quality. Be careful here, as pictures can become very bad.
A note: the size of a PDF vastly depends on from what source it is created. For example, if you draw some vector graphics in Visio and print to Adobe Printer, the resulting PDF is usually quite small in file size. Opening it in Illustrator and saving it again after you, let's say, just moved one line, can make it 10x as big. This is due to big overhead, Illustrator creates and this can not be reduced anymore in Acrobat later on. Sometimes it helps to convert or "save as" such an inflated PDF to a different format like EPS or HTML and print or convert again to PDF.
So, if you created the PDF yourself and you still have the source, you may adjust settings in the export/print dialog to make it smaller.

How to make a chat room with sound and video with java!

Please tell me how to make it!

Please tell me how to make it!I suggest you to employ some experienced programmers. Doing it by yourself seems impossible (judging from how you asked).
Another suggestion is, don't think to make an aeroplane if you don't have experience making a kite. Moral of the story: learn step by step, see java tutorial, explore its API especially the java.io and Threading.
No offence, I hope my suggestion is encouraging.
rgds,

How to make a 5.1 Surround Sound Blu-Ray with FCP

Being disappointed that FCP only makes Blu-Ray discs with a stereo soundtrack I decided to find a way to make one with my 5.1 soundtrack. After hacking the build process by replacing the stereo AC3 file with a 5.1 version while it was still making the video file I stumbled on a very simple method of making a 5.1 Blu-Ray.
In FCP, choose Share and select Blu-Ray. Check the box that says something like "burn Blu-Ray disc". When the project is ready to transcode and burn, hit the "Send to Compressor" button. Once in compressor, right-click on the Dolby Digital 2.0 setting and select "Edit Setting" (or "Change setting", not sure which, my FCP machine somewhere else at the moment) and browse to the 5.1 Dolby Digital setting. Select it and submit the job. When done, you'll have a 5.1 Blu-Ray disc of your project.

There is no way to create a real Dolby sound unfortunately. The mac currently only supports 2 channel outputs. There are interfaces you can buy that will separate the bass and send it to the subwoofer, and fake a 5 channel sound field, but ultimately it will only run 2 sets of stereo speakers, and one mono in the middle, so it is not true surround sound.
Here's a similar thread with more information if you are interested:
How can I connect 5.1 speakers to Macbook Pro 13 bought Summer 2011
I wish there were a way to do it, I personally am a recording musician and an audiophile, and have looked for the same thing on several occasions. But unfortunately at the time, it seems as though there is not the hardware to do it.

How to make Safari automatically open .ram sound clips?

When I click on, say a a sound clip to preview music, Safari just downloads the file but does not automatically play it, so I have to click on the file for it to be played by RealPlayer instead of this happening automatically after the download. The "open "safe" files after downloading" box is checked in preferences.
Using Safari 2.03 and RealPlayer 10.0.0 with Tiger

Safari probably has Open Safe Files disabled in preferences as a security caution. Open Safari's Preferences and click on the General icon. Check Open Safe Files if you want Safari to open files automatically. However, if you do this, make sure you have installed the most recent updates using Software Update because the last security update fixed a couple of exploits related to malicious files.

How to make the life easier when sound file may be changed in future?

Hello, friends,
I have about 600 sound files (total about 10MB), which will
be used by thousands of .swf files. Each .swf file may use only a
few of those 600 sound files.
I know I can load those sound files into each .swf as needed.
However, since those sound files may be changed or modified in
future, I may have to modified each .swf file to reload the
new/modified sound file then. This would be VERY painful.
Any better methods? Any sample source code or reference
papers?
Thanks a lot for your help.

The obviuos solution would be that you just replace the old
(say) "crash.mp3" with the new "crash.mp3" and that's it.
The more sophisticated way would be to store someting in xml

HOw to make AE render my imported sound?

I imported a sound and layered it in the comp but AE doesnt render it in preview nor in final movie.
It says that the sound option is set to off in the render settings but i see no where i can change that.
What can i do?

You may not be doing a proper RAM Preview -- hitting the space bar won't cut it. Time to open AE's online help!
Here's the appropriate section for your needs.
Now, this is a pretty basic thing. It sounds like you may be trying to use AE intuitively. If so, you won't have a lot of luck. The application has too many easily-overlooked basic features that a good knowledge of the basics is imperative.
Fortunately, it's easy to get that basic knowledge. Here's an excellent source.

N73 how to make the camera MUTE (no click sound)??...

I want to know how to make the camera without any sound during taking the picture in NOKIA N73 music edition.
please tell me as soon as possible
Thank u

Typical for discussion forum, the experts to give usless advice( ie "try silent mode") folowed by " its a privacy issue".
I am unable to mute the camera on my E71. I also assumed it was a legal issue. Recently a friend of mine, showed me the Iphone 3Gs take a picture silently. Silent photography with a cell phone is possible.
This looks like something for a symbian upgrade or even a third party camera app.
Send your camera upgrade request to Nokia, cross your fingers.

How to get this guitar sound

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C0F7eFxhXM&t=1m23s
There is a guitar in the background panned left just playing notes, not chords, and Im just curious if anyone has any idea how to best try and get this guitar sound in Logic? Probably a shot in the dark here but I cant seem to figure out how to get even close to it on my own. Not a logic pro user at all.

You'll improve as an engineer by following a few steps. Don't start with a Logic issue, start with an engineering issue and then you'll get how best to solve it with what you have.
Firstly, what makes this sound? How is it made and how do you think it was recorded? To me, this sounds like a humbucker pickup so I'd guess a les Paul or maybe an SG type of guitar going into maybe a Marshall or an Orange type of amp. This is not a DI'ed sound so you're going to have trouble here if you only have DI's.
To me this sounds like a ribbon mic, pretty closely mice'd, maybe paired with a 57 or sen 906, something like that. And it's mainly just HIM playing. Great sound, good player. Never underestimate this.
Now we have the internet so lets look him up and see if we can track down what he uses or used on this record.
OK, looks like he used a custom Ibanez AX-120 with a Seymour Duncan JB Jnr pickup, so it is a high output humbucker and it also looks like he went through an Orange stack.
If you can get hold of a guitar with a humbucker at the bridge, you'll be making the first positive steps. You don't mention what gear, if any, that you have only what software. Again, if you can get hold of a hi-gain amp and a couple of mics you're going to a lot closer in terms of gear, and hence sound.
I see Guitar Rig has the 'Citrus' amp, so if you can't get your hands on a real amp, maybe start here. Don't be shy with the gain but again, try to restrain yourself a little.
I think your main enemies here are that this record is very live and most of the sound is dialled in to the amp plus the choice of mics. So try to use a matching cab to the citrus amp and choose a ribbon mic in Guitar Rig, I'm sure there's at least one in there.
Finally of course, it's the way he plays it too. Good luck with that.
In summing up, always approach these things from an engineering point of view. What is it? What makes it what it is? This will take you a good way to where you want to be and make you a better engineer. After that, solving your issue with Logic will be simpler because you've gotten so much closer with your approach. This comes with time, and I mean years.
Hope this helps.

How Do I Get This Guitar Sound

How do I get this guitar sound? What effects is he using? Can I get it with Garage Bands sounds??

I'm no guitar expert my any means, but I'm pretty sure that's some sort of reverb pedal, along with using a whammy bar or bending the strings. Just add the reverb pedal to your amp set up, or adjust the reverb setting on the amp.

You don't. You can't control how other computers or browsers play back the footage. The best you can do is export a master file that plays great on your computer. What youTube does with it, or how other computers play it back is out of your hands.
Just like me with broadcast TV shows. I deliver the most pristine version I can to the network. But then they convert it to a digital file that they then beam out to cable and satellite providers, who then compress it again to play on their systems. And then it arrives at grandma's house and plays on her TV. I have no control how my grandma receives the signal, nor how her TV is set up. Unless I am nice and tweak things when I go visit. But I can't do this at every house that might want to watch my show.

How to make a leader like 'De wereld draait door'?

How to make a leader like this one: De Wereld Draait Door - Intro (nieuw) - YouTube
If you have any tips, please tell me .

That's not a plug-in or effect, it's a bunch of 3D layers shaped like a semicircle with the anchor point on the straight edge rotating. You could use some expressions to make things easier. Once you get the basic globe made of cards working the best option for the rest of the animation would be to move the camera or parent the whole globe made of cards to a 3D null and animate the null's position. You may end up with a null parented to a null parented to all of the semicircles.
It's not a newbie project. It going to take some 3D skills in AE.
You could also do this in a 3D app. The concept is the same. Semi Circle flat cards rotating about the straight edge.
