After researching a lot of recommendations and weighing my options, I think that at this point in time, I might want to check out the Rode M5 overheads. I know "you get what you pay for" is usually the case, but they're one of the cheapest and most convenient options at the moment. They've been...

What sites are most reliable for finding used mics? I figure eBay is always an option but I'd feel better going to a music gear oriented site before eBay

Hey everyone, I really need some help in choosing a decent set of mics for drum recording. I've been scraping by with cheap equipment for the past few years, but I'd like to take my home recordings up a few notches in quality. Here's some info that might help you guys out: -My drums (a Yahama...

Morning Banana Diet - Bino (self-recorded/produced basement EP) Hey everyone, I'm back with a new EP! This one was recorded entirely in my basement and produced/mixed/mastered by yours truly. Now... the problem here is that I am very much an amateur, so the production of this EP isn't the...

Hello everybody, I desperately need some help deciding what my next investment as a drummer should be. I've been playing drums for 7 (going on 8) years, and I'm completely self-taught. While I've managed to learn a lot from trial-and-error and the help of many kind musicians online, I'm still...

Thank you for listening, I appreciate it! :D I've never listened to Pavement, although I've heard good things about them, so I'll definitely have to check them out. The Black Keys are pretty cool, and I LOVE Mastodon - although I never really channeled my Mastodon influences into this band, so...

Hey there folks! Long time, no see :p I haven't been on these forums in quite some time, but since last time I've visited, my band has really begun to take off. Back in July we recorded our debut EP, Kaleidoscope, at the home studio of a friend whose band we've played with before. It's a pretty...

Thank you guys for listening :) The drums are definitely the weakest link. My recording room is in a small room in my basement with terrible acoustics, and it's the only place where I can record in my house. So for that reason, I've been struggling with getting a decent drum sound for a few...

Hey everyone, I've recently finished my first demo of 2013, and it falls under the category of hard rock/metal. The title is "Waves", and I'd appreciate it if you could check it out and give some feedback :) Waves | SchizoPhobic The mix isn't perfect, I'm still learning and trying to make good...

Hold up, there are other people here who like Alanis Morissette? :eek: I'm not alone. Even if Glen Ballard helped her write it, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie was quite a piece of work

Cool, I'll definitely fix my speaker setup tomorrow, I know I have a few adapters laying around so one of them should be able to help me out :p And thanks again, I appreciate the help :D

I am listening through a pair of monitors that I have plugged into the computer. And thank you very much for the run-through, it actually sounds really easy the way you described it haha :p I'm done messing with Cubase for the night but I will try this first thing tomorrow and let you know how...

Hey guys, I just received a Tascam US-1800 today and installed Cubase LE5 for recording purposes. I've always used Audacity due to simplicity, so I'm really lost when it comes to using this DAW, and I'm starting to get really stressed out :( I know the first thing everyone is going to tell me...

Cool song, and I like the video :D It's nice seeing and hearing something lighthearted for once, I tend to listen to a lot of 'serious' music haha

You certainly can not :D On a side note, I don't know who does the main songwriting in Mastodon, or if all of the guys contribute somewhat equally, but that band knows how to craft a kickass metal song.
