I haven't posted here in ages. This was a one day project on Saturday. Start to finish. The main thing I would like a critique on is the low end, kick drum/bass guitar. Anyway, I'd love to know what you think http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=17737 Thanks in advance!

I did this for my old guitar player of mine. DMP3, my berri mixer for the drum tracks beyond what the DMP3 provided. Guitars are all reamped POD XTL, Bass/synths is DI. Vocals are AT4040. This is his first vocal ever, it's not too bad. Maybe a little too much auto tune, but it goes with...

Hey everybody, i haven't posted anything here in forever. This is one I've been working on for a while. It is a dark, dreary, piano driven piece about letting go..or something like that. I think I'm gonna expand the last verse a little to make it kinda like a bridge, but I may not. Anyway, I'd...

Well, it's my drummers bass drum. When we are rehearsing, he's gradually kicks his bass drum forward, and when he readjusts he, instead of putting it back, seems to move the rest of the kit foward, the result is the whole thing moves up to a couple feet over the course of a couple hours. He is...

Hey everybody. This is the title track for my bands upcoming sophmore release. We're doing this all ourselves so let me know what you think! http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=6256 Thanks

Hey everybody, I havn't posted here in a few months, been too busy. Anyway, this is a song from my band. I think it's pretty much done, but I need some general opinions. Thanks alot! http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=5918

There's a production effect I have yet to understand. I've noticed the technique to be very popular in TV themes for new primetime dramas. You know, when the drums are over processed and are so fake that they are cool? It seems to be mainly EQ, but is there more to it? Does anyone have any...

I had a highschool band come in last week. We spent 10 hours over two days doing a quick 5 song demo. I think it came out great for the time we spent on it http://www.myspace.com/fightparty They only put two up on their site so far. Let me know what you think!

Hey Everbody! I'm currently looking around for a keyboard. I play guitar and keyboards in a hard rock band. We have a 2nd full time guitar player. I play just as much keyboard as guitar, and it's becoming an important part of our band. I currently play an old Roland Jv-30. It works out...

Hello, I posted another song tonight, and this one is also nearing completion. It is real similar to the other song I posted. Let me know what you guys think! http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/26221_asdarknessfalls221.mp3 We will probably rerecord the bass and the background vocals. Besides...

Hey everyone, I havn't posted anything here in a long time, we've been busy recording. For those that havn't seen my previous songs, I'm in a 5 piece rock band with a female front (wo)man following in the tracks of evanesance, etc... We are a highschool band and we record in my basement on...

I posted a thread yesterday about taking my AT3035 back and upgrading, but i'm still wondering what I should get. I've heard that the AT4040 is very transparent, which is the direction I think I'd like to go. The other options I'm looking at are the CAD M179 or the Rode NT1. The CAD seems to...

Hey everbody. My dad purchased an AT3035 for me for christmas, but I'm thinking of taking it back. It seems like a nice mic, but i'm thinking of upgrading a little bit. The only LDC's I currently own are a pair of SP B1's, which I like alot. From reviews I've read, it seems it's not quite...

...sweet. The only pres I have besides the DMP are the ones in my Behringer digi mixer. I havn't got to record using it yet, but I will soon enough ;) Anyway, I've got a couple question. The gain pots are a little scratchy. It's not really a problem, seeing as it's fairly quiet and I...

Hey everybody, I remember reading that old, great thread on drum micing, but cannot find it agian. It was two OH's, one over the snare, one over drummer shoulder, with the two sticks length from teh snare for both. I'm recording some drums tomorrow, and would love to try this. Any one have...
