Have a listen? Nevermind...

Hello all, I have a question about tracking (obviously). I just finished my first track start to master. There is room for improvement, but I am very very happy with the end result. My situation is that I used my Vintech x73i (my only high end pre) to track everything with the exception of the...

Hello Hope this doesn't piss anybody off if I put this in the wrong thread. I am concerned about the possibility of an ebay scandal. Do you guys know if there is anything fishy happening with buyers from Australia? I have a Rode NTK on ebay and I have gotten two different emails from Aussies...

Hello, Just a few shameless plugs. I have three items for sale on ebay. Please check them out. Let me know if you are interested. Rode NTK http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7328478496&ssPageName=ADME:B:LC:US:1 Yamaha DJX-IIB...

Okay...I have been struggling with the low end for a while now. The problem is that my mixes are coming out with too much sub bass energy. I am using Mackie HR624s. They don't go low enough. My question is, has anyone heard of any use of the TRUTH B2092A (YES...Behringer Monitor Sub). The other...

Hello Bass/Guitar experts. I have a Danelectro Rumor Bass with a subpar p-bass pickup (wannabe) in it. I don't feel like it is getting a good sound. It lacks highs..it lacks lows. As a matter of fact, I am not entirely sure what is coming out of it. So anyway, I would really like to just pickup...

Okay...so when you are recording vocals with a condensor mic in cardoid... Is the idea for you to face the Gobo, wall covered with auralex..ect, or is the dry stuff supposed to be behind you. In my room recording vox...(this room is about 14x12 with an auralex roominator kit) should I face the...

Okay, I have a pretty good idea how to record instruments. I have a decent grasp on what mics to use when and where to point them. I am mixing (and tracking and everything else) On Mackie 624s. I am using a Motu 896HD interface...I love it..yadda yadda I am in a fairly large room. It is...

I got a ksm32 and it kicked my ntk's butt on vocals. I am extremely happy with it. It seems like my vocals filled one defined area of the track more than my ntk. The ntk just sounds like it is all over the place. plus, the sibilance problem that i had with the ntk has been greatly improved. i...

Hello all- I have a JCM2000 DSL 50 that I just bought used. After powering up, within the first 5 minutes of playing there is this weird staticy interference sounding noise that comes through the speakers. After it stops the amp is otherwise really great sounding. The tubes are in good condition...

This may not be good enough to even judge because it is like a 128 MP3. Anyway, I am looking forward to ways to make it better. Other than. A. Firing the engineer B. Getting a new band C. Firing the singer D. Giving up and taking up card games full time Please advise, despise, help revise.

Can you give some explanations and some notes if you have or can remember them for that track? IT SOUNDS SO SO GOOD! Please...guitars, bass sounds killer, vocals fit nicely for the style...etc. Please tell tell. THANKS.

Hey guys/gals, I am using an NTK through a Vintech x73i. I am the most sibilant human being on the face of the earth. No, really. I have good technique, but I am always a bit sibilant no matter what. I do alot of falsetto stuff, and my voice is pretty loud when not doing falsetto. I want a mic...

Hello everyone, I recently, this weekend, began using my Motu 896HD with a Rode NTK mic through a Vintech X73i pre. I was recording my sister who has a very powerful voice and good mic control and the Motu was peaking out like nuts. It was going in the red VERY easily. What am I to do? She tried...
