Finished this project a while ago. Let me know if you would like details about the recording. Drums aren't tuned great but otherwise I feel like it turned out well. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/52520-05BurnMeUpInside.mp3 Ben

I am a 19 year old song writer/pianist/bassist who has been recording in a suburb outside of boston for 4+ years. 3 years ago I built 5 bass traps via ethan winers web site in my 40x30 live room, and we mixed in a concrete 15x15 box covered in the corners and all the direct reflecting spots...

I'm running an M-Audio Octane into a Motu 828 mkII via an Adat Litepipe connection. The mixer on my computer shows the Adat coming threw and I can hear sound, but the 8 adat tracks don't show up in logic when select which track from the interface to record on. I have Logic Express 7 and I'm...

Ok guys, before you all get to bashing, telling me that they only way you can tell me what mics I should get is if you were in my studio with my set up and the particular project I am recording at the time, hear me out. I've been doing this for about 3 years now with more or less the same mic...

I'm not sure if this thread would really belong here, but I figured I had an mp3 and this was the best place for that. Basically I'm 17 years old, been playing piano for about 8 of those with classical lessons for the first 4 or so. I study jazz on my own by listening to artist I like...

This one's writen and played by a local metal band I've been recording over the last few weeks. Drums: Kit was a tama rockstar stage custom fusion size drums. OH: Kel HM-1 snare: Shure sm-57 bass drum inside: Shure beta-52 bass drum beater: Shure sm-57 rack toms: mxl 603s floor tom: Shure KSM...

This is the first of probably 3-5 mixes. This band has been recording in my shitty studio for about a month, and this mix was done with the drummer watching over my shoulder in about an hour. My ears got really tired quickly so I'd appreciate as much feedback as you are willing to give (even...

Been recording this one for four days. Drums: 2 Kel HM-1s for overheads no particular placement technique besides being measured equally to the bass drum and snare. 57 on snare about 3 inches up and one inch back faced towards the center. Beta 52 1 inch into the whole of the bass drum, and one...

Clearing out some of the stuff we don't need. I got an old Alesis ADAT Multitrack recorder version 4.03 for sale. You can find facts on it at http://www.gbaudio.co.uk/data/adat.htm. The only problem with it is that the tape deck eats tape, so I'm gonna go ahead and sell it for dirt cheap...

I am desparately in need for an 8 channal mic pre with ADAT litepipe outputs, such as the presonus Digimax lt. I am really trying to expand my MOTU 828 MK II, so any 8 channal mic pre with ADAT litepipe compatabilities should be fine (of course the pres should be better than crap). I have a...

I have no particular reason to have this mic, but the dual capsule kind of interests me. Anyone got experience with this. Anyone who would go ahead and say "DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY" Now that I've got mostely all of my nessecery mics I'm trying to build up a collection of very different LDCs for...

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=2331 Comments to read after you post your own: -All these kids are in high school. -I am in high school and I am only 16 (should I say "only"?). -Bass drum sounds terrible to me, but he wouldn't let me change it. -Mix was done in about 15...

I've had my pair of MXL 603s for about half a year now, and I'm already starting to notice that I HATE BRIGHT MICS! I know i'm not alone on this one. After my rapid search for flat SDC's I ran into quite a few options. I could either save up $800 right now for a pair of Earthworks or buy a...

Hey guys, A little while back I saw this 10 or something step method for a different type of overhead micing for drums. It seems to be great for anyone who only has overheads and a bass drum mic (maybe snare too). I've seen it pop up everyonce and a while because its so great. I used it twice...

Thinking of buying the Rodes NT-1a. Bad choice? Good choice? Whos had it and what do you have to say?

Does anybody know if the MOTU 828 MK II can actually record both the 8 mono analog channals and the two stereo ones in front at the same time? For some reason in the past I wasn't able to do that, but I got new software which permits more analog inputs and I was wondering if that actually...

Hey guys, A funk band has just asked me to record them, and they happen to have a sax player. I've never recorded sax before so I was wondering what were the best techniques for it, or if anyone out there has ever done it and has some advice. Thanks guys. Ben

I have a small home studio and my plans on upgrading include a couple things, but the biggest one is to get an actuall large diaphram condenser for vocals rather than using both my 57 and my mxl 603s. I already have to upgrade in getting an other soundcard for more recordable tracks, but can...

Hey guys, Last time a posted a sont here (like 4 days ago) I got some great feedback with out getting any "you suck stop trying". Hopefully this song wont be that bad either and I'll get some good help. http://s93513100.onlinehome.us/Writings%20on%20the%20Wall.mp3 The begining is a little too...

Over the last year or so as i've been getting into this I have noticed a couple of very general concepts that I think by. Please feel free to comment on them, love me for them, hate me for them, maybe even agree with me??? Just tell me what you think! By the way these are in no specific...
