should be less than that. i believe i got mine for around 150 tax included.

hello all. this is the third band i've recorded in my basement and i think i'm getting better at mixing. (if you'd heard my other crap, you'd think so too.) however, there's a lot i dont know about this art, and that's where i'm hoping the rest of you can come in. please give me some feedback...

actually, i hate the way it's used in most of today's music. It's almost stressful to listen to it when it's constantly up there like that. I was thinking more along the lines of a climactic finale ala the end of godspeed you! black emperor's 'motherfucker=redeemer'. I was just using the mars...

so nothing i can realistically hope to accomplish at 19? :P

I was listening to the mars volta recently, and i was struck by how loud the mastering was. i looked at the waveform and almost entire songs were clipping, yet it doesnt sound terrible. im sure if i were to try something similar, it would turn out horribly. i'm not saying that louder is better...

"a dual head AGP graphics card with at least 128MB RAM ($100)" what card is that?

I have a minidisc recorder with an sm58. it works pretty well for what i paid.

i took form to have a literal meaning.. that is, the physical shape of the thing; what knobs it has, essentially. and function, i took to mean 'how well the knobs do what they're supposed to do.' anyhow, I'll email you.

Thanks for the replies! to respond to / answer a couple of you: flatcat, thanks for pointing out allen and heath, i'll certainly consider them. I think the 16:2 is closer to what i want than the 20:8:2; i doubt i'd use all those bells and whistles for a long time, and by then i'll probably...

hello all. I currently have a mackie CR1604, and two more pres in the form of a DMP3. The mackie only has 6 XLR pres. Thus far I have been able to survive with this limitation, but only because the few bands I have tracked have not been very demanding. Anyhow, point is, I need more pres. Better...

well my drums are actually pretty damn good. at least, they're as good as they're going to get for a long while, apart, maybe, from the snare, which i might replace soon. they're yamaha 20th anniversary recording customs. that song, hcd, is played by my drum teacher.. he usually tunes the...

hello all. I'm looking for ideas regarding drum mics. I currently use a D112 on the kick, SM57 on the snare, AKG C418s on the toms and mxl 603s as overheads. The drum sound I get is ok, but nothing special. You can hear it here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2467&alid=-1 if...

scrap what?

Hey, thanks for listening. The vocals are going to be female sorpano, and yes very flowing. They're just not completely written yet and the melody for the distorted part is a little difficult. About the production, can you be more specific? I'm open to criticism... that is how one learns. I've...

it would help if i included the link; http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2467&alid=-1
