    1 man band, recording guitar, then bass, and drumming live?

    I'm assuming a looper pedal would be best for this, but I'm not exactly interested in recording loops. I'd rather record guitar in 1 take, with a full song composition... So.. Step 1: Record guitar.. guitar 1 + guitar amp = loops the whole guitar composition through the guitar amp Step 2...

    A symphonic piece.

    What do you think? http://www.symphonicdrift.com/SymphonicDrift-A-Single-Victory.mp3 I added it as background music to a politically related video I created, which you can find here.

    Vocalists and their "scratchy / harsch" voice abilities...

    I've noticed nearly every successful rock group has a vocalist who is able to (or at least sounds like it) get that scratchy / harsch vocal sound going especially during choruses and such. I've been dabbling with my own vocals for the past couple weeks and I find that it's very smooth / clean...

    Intro / Verse Vocals, Opinions?

    I've *never* tried doing vocals before, I've always just been a guitar/drums/bass/song writer kinda guy, but I decided to give the whole vocal thing a shot.. Like many beginner vocalists, I don't really like the sound of my voice if I *go all out* and sing, it's kinda too high pitched like the...

    Violin Samples & Midis... Level of difficulty?

    I have a few acoustic guitar songs that I'd love to add a realistic solo violin to... I have a midi keyboard and I have Garritans personal orchestra which has violins... How difficult is it to use the keyboard and learn how to "midi" to get something realistic? :/

    I want an 88 full-weighted midi controller. Suggestions?

    My girlfriend is a very good piano player and I want to have her start recording some stuff. Since her piano isn't the greatest sounding and I'm not even going to think about mic'ing it, I want to use samples (Synthogy), and she won't play on anything that doesn't feel as close to as a real...

    Is it possible these vocals were done with something like Symphonic Choir? [Audio]

    Everything Always Moving - Click the green play icon button to the right of the name. Then scroll past the first 25 seconds to hear the vocals. Initially I thought no way, but then I came across Symphonic Choir (Click on audio demos).. I know AU4 (that band) is heavily into digital effects so...

    I'm interested in creating / molding digital sounds from scratch (like prodigy/NIN)

    I'm wondering exactly how you go about creating these types of digital effects and what systems (software/hardware etc) are best for working with this type of music. Thanks!

    Reggae'ish / Mainstream'ish Song...

    No vocals, anyone wanna add some? ;) Reggae'ish / Mainstream'ish Song... Aside from slightly getting off beat and jacking up the drum part in a few places, I might've also mixed it a bit too loud. I think I'm starting to finally, atleast somewhat, get the hang of this whole...

    Heavier Song.

    Heavier Song (Re-edited version, after the first 3 posts in this thread) There's some parts I need to fix like the beginning you can hear a buzz from the electric... the thing I'm most dissatisfied with is the toms, they're too dampened. Used DKFH Superior with a TD6S Roland for the drums.

    2 tracks for a fuller guitar? (distortion)

    A buddy of mine recommended that I beef up a verse (all just powerchords on distortion) by recording a 2nd track of the same thing and panning one left and the other right, to provide for a fuller guitar sound... is this common practice? Thanks! (i TRIED posting this in the recording forum...

    My Remake of "Nada Surf - Popular"

    There's no vocals, but this is pretty much my first attempt at making something sound somewhat similar with decent quality... also, even though the mp3 is 3:30, it pretty much ends at 2:30 (forgot to cut off the last minute). Nada Surf - Popular Equipment used: - Washburn electric and Cort...

    Creating a soundproof structure around your Mic?

    For some reason on this forums page listing, there aren't any "Page 1 2 3 4 >>" buttons etc, so I can't research if this has been an issue discussed before (and I have no idea what I'd search for).. so here it is, sorry if it's a redundant question... My room isn't dry at all (it's a bedroom)...

    Which is better for acoustic recording : KMS27 or SM81

    I went to guitar center yesterday, prepared to buy the SM81 ($60 more than the KMS27)... but the dude there highly recommended the KMS27 for acoustic recording as he had experience with it. So I went with the KMS27, but I figure I SHOULD get other opinions with experience, because I don't want...
