    questions about SPL...help plz

    SPL refers to Sound Pressure Level, measured in decibels. The higher the SPL the greater the level and the volume. Most engineers mix at or around 85 dBSPL. Dynamic mics like the SM 57 can handle anything you can throw at it(120dBSPL+), some condensers are more sensitive and can be damaged...

    I need help recording

    I've never tried it in vocals but I do know that to make a snare or bass punch you use compression. These are suggested settings (find what you like best): medium to slow attack, medium to fast release, and a ratio of 3:1 no more than 5:1. You may need to adjust the ratio, it really has a lot...

    Jazz gig

    What kind of a mic position do you use on that bidirectional ribbon for bass? Also, I only have a Royer 122 for that use and my experience with sticking that on a clean guitar amp (experimental) gave me a muddy inarticulate sound.

    Jazz gig

    I believe the sax is an tenor, the guitar is electric, and the bass has a pickup on the bridge. I'm thinking of running the pickup direct to tape with a DI and micing the bass for the real thump sound. I've also heard of using lapel mics on the player's chest.

    My recording woes with guitar. (Now with sound clips!)

    You might want to look at getting an audio interface so you don't have to deal with the line in on your computer. An audio interface will also let you do individual tracks (assuming it has the capability, not all do). If you can't spend the money on an interface check out the sampling rate and...

    Question about recording

    If you want to get a pair of quality for price mics I suggest Studio Projects B3. They work well for accoustic guitar and some vocals, even overheads. If you talk to the right people you can get a consecutive pair for around $300.

    M-audio pro tools

    I wouldn't get any M-Audio hardware. You're better off getting an 002 rack or control surface if you're looking to get Pro Tools. The new Mboxes don't even have firewire, they're still on USB 1.0. Also, the 002s give you more flexibility. But if you fix your computer (assuming that's the...

    Tricking Software

    I've sent midi clock and machine control to PT, but I don't think it's seeing. Is there a a check box I'm missing in the set up menu? Yeah, just for fun. I havn't had the time to fully understand Logic, and I really like their VSTs.

    once again, my PT LE on macs really isn't that cool thread

    Just curious, what school do you go to shackrock? The program at Mcnally Smith College of Music completely imerses you into PT, HD and LE. But we didn't get into PT until my third semester of four.

    Tricking Software

    I have both Pro Tools LE 6.4 and Logic Express. My interface is an 002, and I have an M-Audio Keystation 49e controller. I would like to try to make Logic and PT work together. I realize that PT and Logic will have nothing to do with each other if they're using the same audio interface. So...
