Hey guys. It's been months since I last posted something here. I recently gotten a TASCAM 414, fully functional thankfully, and I started learning how to record on tape, which is painful, but so fun. I am still learning a bunch of stuff, but I decided to try an perform a version of Divine...

Hey guys, hope you're all doing fine. Its been a while, maybe a few months since I last posted, so Im planning on recording more stuff in the coming months...lets see. I recorded this Green Day cover with one mic, and found that recording vocals + acoustic guitar its not actually as easy as it...

Hi guys. Can u give me some feedback on this tune I recorded? I used a Rode NT2A with the Omni setting. Here's what I did. I placed it really close to me and put the guitar amp about a meter away. The result is here: I wonder what u guys think about it. Some parts the guitar sounds louder...

Hi guys! I just uploaded a video in which I tested 3 presets of the Fender Blues Jr. SE amp. I plugged my mex strat in it. If you guys could help me out, I'm trying to make these types of content. I wonder what you guys think of the guitar sound in this video. I'm sorry, I hope this is not...

Hey, guys. I did this little comparison between the Behringer XM8500 vs the Shure SM57. I pointed both mics to the 14th fret of the guitar and no EQ or compression was added, just a limiter to make the sound louder. The gain was basically the same in my Bheringer UMC204HD interface. Dont know...

Hey guys, hope you're all doing fine. Its been a couple of months since I havent posted or commented anything here. I was making this video and decided to record Vocals + Guitar with just a 57. I realized that the vocals were somewhat buried as I was playing the guitar louder than I imagined...

Hey guys, I have these mics at home and I decided to make a video comparing the two. IDK what you guys think, but to me, even though the AT2020 sound fuller, the SM57 has a really distinctive sound. I prefer it way more rather than the AT2020... Wonder what you guys think. I made this video...

Hey guys, hope you are doing well. I need your help with feedback for the sounds I achieved with this track. I want to record an EP with the same vibe. The overall sound I have in mind is: minimalist/not overproduced recording, quieter/lower vocals and use mainly acoustic instruments (maybe a...

Hi guys, hope you are all doing well. It's been a long since my last post here, I used to be really active a couple of years ago. So, I want you guys to give your honest opinion about this acoustic+vocals that I'm doing on youtube. I recorded with a SM57 on guitar and a Behringer XM1800 on...

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing okay. I need help and guidance from you. I am going on a trip to the US (I am from Brazil) and I am planning to buy some gear there. I already have some equip here, like some dynamic mics and a couple of condensers. I had a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and I really...

Hey guys! Hope you're all doing fine. I had this broken SM57 for a while here at home and I decided to try and fix it. I found out that the problem was the diaphragm and that it was pretty hard to fix it and I might aswell just buy a new capsule. Well, I'm saving money for a proper capsule...

Hey guys. So, I have to mix this live performance of a hardcore punk-rock band. The recording setup was: Drums - Two Overheads using recorderman and one kick drum mic. Guitars: Mic right in front of the amp. Bass: DI and Mic in front of the amp. Vocals: Do I really have to say? I'm having...

Hi, guys. This is a session from a collective which I work. We basically record bands from around town and upload the performances to Youtube so they have a decent quality material to share with their fans and stuff. We also organize some gigs for those bands to play in. Anyway, these guys...

Hey guys! I'm not a guy who likes to master songs too loud. I dont like how some modern music sounds so loud and compressed. When I master things at home I usually try to make the mixes to hit -7.5db RMS. I really dont like to go any higher than that. But I'm working with a new band and they...

Hey guys. I just posted a video on youtube of me testing my shure SM58 with the famous "tape op" mod. For those who never heard of it before, it consists only of taking out the output transformer that is inside the mic. So I made a little comparison video and I wanted to share it for you guys...

Hello there! I've been gone for a while so I guess I'd post this song I recorded by myself to see what you guys think about it. Here are the recording setup I used. Drums: 2 mics Mono OH - MXL V67; Kick Drum - AKG D112 Guitars: Shure SM57 Vocals: MXL V67 Bass: Shure SM57 and direct signal...

Hi everyone. I was reading about old Motown records (much like Marvin Gaye, The Funk Brothers and stuff) and in an article it was written that these guys usually recorded in a studio called "Snakepit" and it consisted of a really small room with a really dry sound. Do you guys know anything...

Hey! I'm playing in this band called Red Tapes, from Brazil. We did some gigs already and we decided that it would be cool if we'd release an EP. So I demoed two songs. I recorded the drums first, with four mics (Recorderman, kick and snare) first with the band playing live and tried to get...

Hey guys. I recorded this band a while ago (I'm in a group of people that record and publish material for local bands) with 4 mics, so we were very limited. I mic'ed up the drums with one condenser mic, about two feet away from the snare, pointing at it. The drummer hits the cymbals very hard...

Hey guys. This is a recording from my band's last rehearsal. We wanted to make a demo to send our friends our songs. Turn out we liked the quality of the final mix. The drums are "peculiar" sounding, as I may understand some of the members of the forum would consider it too live but we like...
