From what I recall, there were a lot of good recording discussions on sevenstring and gearslutz. Most of the people I know use either Reaper (which I liked a lot when I tried it, and which sounded great IMO) or, if they have money, Pro Tools. Personally I've been a Cubase user for the past seventeen years, and I love it, but if I had to switch to Reaper I wouldn't be heartbroken.

I can't help you with amp modeling software recommendations, but modeling has come a long way since I tried it. Especially for black metal, you shouldn't have any difficulty finding something usable.

I will check out those websites. Thank you Father!

What do you like about Cubase? A DJ friend of mine who is also a huge black metal fan suggested it as well as ProTools. I looked it over briefly but was drawn a little more to Reaper.

I'm going to record some black metal style layered dark ambient scary somewhat melodic but with an ominous mood to it. I don't know how much I cant devote myself to it at the moment as I have a 1 year old.

Welcome. There are a handful of us here with recording experience, and I'm sure we'd be happy to discuss it, but you'd probably get a lot more discussion and better info on a dedicated recording forum. Regardless, hope you enjoy the place.

I mainly came here to see what DAW most metal musicians are using. My next question would be what are some good guitar rig plug-ins out there. I have a shitty fender practice amp and do not intend on using it to record the guitars.

Good day to everyone! I decided to join metalforum.com to answer a wide variety of questions I have about recording music in my home. I have found the DAW named Reaper from this website and am stoked and excited to begin this journey. So, I extend much thanks to many of you here prematurely as I know I will feel a great sense of hospitality.

Sincerely,
