Here's a track I quickly tracked on 12/30/06. I tried to upload it previously, but lightning was giving me issues. This was my first experiment with only 3 mics on the drums (D112 for kick, SM57 on snare, and a cheap MXL condenser for overhead). Previously, I used the same kick and snare...

Accidentally posted twice. :o

Lately I've been tweaking my drum sounds in regards to tuning, mic placement and levels. First off, I want to make it clear that my kit is not any sort of "pro" kit. It's a Cortley kit I bought from a friend of mine in college for $100.00. My ex-roommate accidentally left a Paiste 2002 ride...

on this guitar tone. And if you critique my playing, that's fine, but just keep in mind...it was just to quickly get a song idea down and everything is a first take (except for the bass) and recorded in my dining room. So don't hate. ;) EDIT: Secondary title to this thread should be..."Try...

I bought a used (but basically brand new) Boss BR-532 last year for about $125.00. I've enjoyed this machine but two limitations have always bugged me. The first is that you cannot EQ tracks during mixdown...you can only apply EQ while tracking. I don't like adding EQ while tracking, so this...

So, I found this online yesterday locally for $150.00. Seller says it's MIJ, but he also says he thought it was only 5 years old or so. Was Squier still making stuff in Japan in 2000? The logo looks like an older Squier logo. Seller also says that the replacement pickups (some sort of...

I bought a used 1998 Hamer Standard (import model) Thanksgiving week, and I finally got a chance track with it tonight to see how it sounds "on tape". I just decided to record what is pretty much the first riff/song I ever came up with for my first band when I was in college (1989...I was 19)...

This is an mp3 of a song I just submitted to the copyright office this week. Long story, but it involves former band members continuing to play a song for which I came up with the music & arrangement. It's a quick job, since it was only for submitting it for copyright, but I'd still like to...

A guy in my office is considering getting his 13 year-old son a half-stack for Christmas (lucky little bastard). I told him that I'd look around and if I saw anything of interest, I'd let him know. I've already convinced him that buying a tube head used would be better in the long-run than...

Ok, so last weekend I tracked a song using my "new" Boss BR-532 (well, new to me). I used 4 tracks, had mixed it down to mp3 and backed up the song folder on my PC. I had not deleted the song off the card, so I knew I'd have limited room, but I tracked drums for a new song idea on one of the...

Just joined the forum recently, and it appears that my little set-up isn't quite as elaborate as most on here, but hey...it gets the job done. I'm looking forward to gaining some new info and such. So anyway...here's the site with 4 songs I've done relatively recently. threefiveseven All...

Howdy. I'm new to the forum, but I've been recording at home for a while now...on a Fostex XR-5 cassette 4-track. I joined yesterday because I've just stepped into the world of digital recording, and I figured I'd have some questions along the way. Last week I bought a practically new Boss...
