I'm worried about the weight of the room and the structural integrity of the building. You're opening yourself up to some major litigation if you break a building. Maybe even criminal liability if you injure someone or property damage hit a certain dollar amount. Maybe I missed it, but do you...

I use either the Electro Voice ND76 or the Sennheiser e845 (or something like that) when I gig. I have a 57 as a 3rd backup. Both the ND76 and the Sennheiser have a tighter pattern and reject more from the sides. On stage, that helps to prevent monitor feedback. Both mics are hotter than the...

Good on you for just throwing it out there, I respect the bravado. I don't mind the vocal performance so much. Sure a few rough spots, but overall a good delivery with a nice vibe. As noted earlier, transposing, even down a couple of steps, would help you gain more control over your voice...

Dig the song. Not a fan of the panning choices. I'm old school and think vocals should be center. Sounds to me like you're mixing this song at loud volumes. Give it a good listen at low volume, too I would like to hear more dynamics in the arrangement. Dial it back during the verses, kick it...

If you're not against spending some money, then look at an interface that has 4 mic inputs. For a more intimate guitar sound, record it in a mid-side configuration. One mic would need to be a cardioid (your C2) and the other a figure-8 like a behringer B2. Then there are some things you have to...

So, conversely, why do we call dynamic mics "dynamic". If there ever was an elusive use of the term, this is it. Maybe better terms would be active and passive mics, like our guitar pickups. Or powered and unpowered. An SM57 doesn't need power to operate but the U87 does. As for Tube vs Valve...

Thanks everyone. So not overly hyped on the high end, but slightly crispy, and lacking some girth in the bass. I can work on that. The drums are ezdrummer2 and I did struggle with getting the toms to sit nicely during the drum-pounding parts. To have energy but not too much dominance. There is...

It's been eons since I've posted a track to the Clinic. Here's one I recently wrote and recorded. I can't hear for sh!!t anymore, particularly in the high freqs, so who knows where the mix is on this. Let me know what needs help. thanks for listening.

On earbuds, so can't comment on the mix, but the playing is great and I like how you have different movements in the song. Kinda like a metal overture. Enjoyed the listen.

I was just thinking, if you are recording your midi with the Yamaha and using the Spitfire plug-in to listen in real time, you should use the audio generated from the Yamaha to listen to as your recording and record the midi. Then when you play it back, mute the recorded audio from the Yamaha...

There is a minimum spec which requires a 4-core processor and you have a 2-core processor, so upgrading to a corei7 4-core should improve things a lot. Minimum: Intel Core 2.8GHz i5 (quad-core) or AMD Ryzen 5, 8GB RAM Recommended: Intel 2.8GHzi7 (six-core) or AMD R7 2700, 16GB RAM 64-bit DAW...

Does the issue happen while you're playing on a midi controller? Like it can't keep up with you?

Good replies already. Unfortunately, my studio is down until I get a new a/c unit next week, so not able to give it a good listen. Another suggestion would be to reference a commercially released song similar to yours and just kinda A/B it. The referenced song is going to be mastered and...

The poor acoustic treatment in the basement isn't much of a concern for tracking, especially since you are DI'ing or close micing everything. Drums might be affected by the lack of treatment, but I doubt it is very much. The lack of treatment does come into play when mixing. However, you're not...

No direect experience with the HX Stomp, but Line 6 is known for their diligence in amp modeling. I don't think you're going to go wrong with using it. I bought a chinese knock-off about 6 months ago and it sounds great. I agree with you on anything in the last few years have been a big...
