Screaming at least to me just seems like a vocal performance with a lot of "grit" to the sound. A singer like Pavorotti(sp) uses no grit but a singer like Sebastian Bach uses a combination of both. Although adding that grit does trash your voice some and if your tone is all grit well then you...

I'm looking for a pre as well...thanks for the heads up on the Presonus. I don't mean to hijack the thread but what would you recommend as a USB solution?? I know I have a cheaper soundcard and even though it's given me no problems so far I'm afraid that it won't be worth getting a good...

Looked up the price on that one.....ouch. I guess an excellent mic-pre could make alot of mediocre mics sound good. Thanks for your input:)

What kind of high end pre-amp are we talking??? Thanks for the replies folks!! Might consider a Studio Projects C1 too....

I'm in the process of vamping up my crummy home recording setup to do lead vocals and backing vocals. I tried doing some takes with an SM57 and well....the results were less than spectacular. I need a condenser mic I believe to help out with things....something more sensitive that will give me...

Well the I ended up lining the whole inside with a thick carpet instead of foam cause the foam just wasn't cutting it as good seemed like. It still sounds thin with the lid closed though. The only way I can get it to sound better unfortunately is to leave the lid half open...which kinda...

Well I forget the exact dimensions but when the cab is sitting against the back wall of the iso cab there is roughly 6-8" in front of it 4 inches on either side and about 5 inches above it of spare space. Not much extra space I guess. I'm not done putting the dampening in yet on the back wall...

Well I built an iso cab out of 1.5" MDF for my 2x12 cab to record guitar in my apartment. It blocks sound coming out real real well....but...it doesnt' sound too good IMO. There's not alot of extra space in there but I figured if I dampened it some and just put the mic rihgt up to the grill I...

I'm headed the same way pretty soon.....in a couple of days actually if those fuckers don't email back. The m-audio stuff looks really nice too..

Abit KD7 motherboard with KT400 via chipset I believe.

The more I'm reading the more I'm finding out that the VIA chipset sucks for recording...seems like I chose the wrong upgrade option on my computer. Is there any good soundcards with breakout boxes that work well with WinXP and the AMD VIA chipset?? I don't wanna spend a ton(as usual) but I...

I cannot get the driver to start properly on my Windows XP box. I've tried the drivers on the CD, the website and niether work. I'm using an AMD setup with a VIA chipset. I know this chipset has some issues with some soundcard setups but I'm not sure about this one... The online support...

I have the same problem....I think everything is okay while I"m recording but when I play multiple tracks back they're all off timing... I guess I'll look into the soundcard drivers.....

I must say I am very impressed with this song. I'm very new to the whole recording thing but I can tell that this one needs a little work...but don't all our recordings...lol BUt the thing that impresses me most is the songwriting....this song is really good. Why is there crap like Godsmack...
