Damn, I just got this stereo set of shure KSM 141s, only used it for like 3 recordings, and I think one of the mics is broke. When I flip on the phantom power on my EMU, the 1 mic has tons of static and the levels bounce from nothing to clipping constantly with the gain on minimum. The other...

Hey everyone, hoping for some help I am working on a mix that I tracked a while ago with a grand piano and voice. The piano was very difficult to work with to start, and after LOTS of work I got a pretty decent sound out of it (Thanks Glen). But now that I am mixing the project, both myself...

OK, so I finally saved up and made the decision to go out and buy a pair of Event ASP8s. So, I go buy them brand new come home and hook them up and run into 2 MAJOR problems. First, when I go to power them on, the right speaker lets out a quiet POP from the woofer, and it kind of sinks the...

mixing for someone. It's not my song, and it's a bit odd in parts (songwise), but if you could give some critique song quality wise. Actually, I just finished a rough mix, and he uploaded it to myspace, after converting it to mp3 and then myspace converting it to their stuff. It definitely is a...

Hey guys, I have a question about having a studio in the basement. Currently I have a basement studio and it works out great when it's just me and other musicians in the basement, but when others are over that don't care about recording (wife,kids) it's quite a hassle. If they are on the 2nd...

OK guys, so I had a thread a few weeks back about going to be recording a grand and needed some opinions on mics. Thanks for all the help. I ended up with some shure KSM141s. So, I went to do some scratch tracks and just get a feeling for the sound and enviroment and whatever, and ended up...

Hi everyone, I went out this weekend with another friend this weekend with a goal of trying out this line 6 podxt pro in person, to see if it really sucks as bad as everyone says. I have ALWAYS hated every emulation product I have ever tried. For example all the BOSS GT3/GT6/GT8 and all other...

Hey guys, If you had a choice to buy either a stereo pair of KSM 137s or Studio Project C4s for the same price, which would you choose?? Also I had found a pair of KSM 141s for not too much more but missed out on that ebay bid...I am tempted to try and wait for something like that to come...

OK, so I posted a thread a bit ago about getting a pair of stereo mics for piano. Thanks for all the advice everyone gave me, that helped a lot. So now, I have the problem of the cables. This is kind of a dumb question, but I have a bunch of really nice cables, all mogami and nice and thick and...

Hi all, I hate these stupid best mic for $$$ threads...buuuuuut, I am going to get a stereo pair to record piano, and need it to be right around $400. I have mic'd up this piano before many times with 1 mic, and it always comes out quite good (if you can believe that.) A new client I have...

OK, not sure if this should go in the mixing forum or recording, but here's the thing. I am recording a roland TD 20 drum it. Here's the thing, everything is fine, but for some reason the high hat messes up and will change timbre, and the volume will vary quite a bit...it's probably set too...

Hey I was wondering what a lot of you peeps out there that have nice set ups have had to deal with robbery? Or more specifically what people do to prevent it? Out here in Colorado, there are several business studios that have been robbed lately. The latest one, I knew the guy, he had a mixing...

OK, so here's the deal. I have the roland td-20 drum set, and have finally set it up how everyone here recommended which is so that it tracks all the pads seperately. Previously I was tracking it as just one stereo track which left no ability to turn up the snare or turn down the high hat post...

Hi all, I am going to be recording someone doing some death metal type vocals, and have not done so before. I had a couple questions I was hoping someone could help me with. First of all, is it true that it is best to record these types of vocals with dynamic mics only? Also, post tracking...

I apoligize if this question has been asked before...but lately I'm working on a wide variety of projects, and never have used EQ much while mixing the smaller projects I have done, but nowadays I have been doing a variety of things from rock and metal to classical and folk, and I am starting to...

Hi all, I am using a frequency analyser on occasion nowadays, and I have noticed that my 2 "non-real" tracks are putting out lots of subsonic frequencies it would seem. By non-real, I mean I am using keyboard/synth and drums via a Roland TD-20, therefor not real live instruments. They are just...

Hi all, I am using a frequency analyser to help me with identifying the areas I'm eq;ing sometimes, and I noticed that the EQ changes don't show up on it because I am using it as an insert. What would be the way to see in the frequency analysis insert the eq changes I am making? Thanks for the...

Hi all, I have a question and I didn't know where else to post it. It's about touring. I guess I always thought that when a band goes touring, they just split everything equally or something, and I am finding out that not even close to true, depending on the band. I am trying to see if anyone...

Hi everyone, Can someone help me with using a high or low pass filter? I have some tracks I am mixing (unprofessionally of course) and trying to get the bass guitar and distorted guitar right. When trying a low pass filter at which frequencies should I play around with?? Also, does anyone ever...
