Hi all! Just have a quick question regarding the aforementioned gear/software and a monitoring issue I'm encountering. I have an electric drum kit and a guitar hooked up to this mixer (also going into a headphone amp for two sets of headphones) and I'm trying to record a song one instrument at...

Hi all! Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read my post or offer advice. I'm absolutely stumped, but then again I'm not very proficient with the recording/rehearsing side of music gear. My current situation is - was in a three piece, guitarist has other commitments, now the...

Hi all, Apologies if this belongs somewhere else - I've done some searching but I'm a bit lost on some of the jargon and not sure what is or isn't what I'm looking for. I'm recording some guitar demos, and I want to add some virtual drums to my tracks. I have no idea how to program drums, all...

Hi guys, Tried playing my Vox Wah pedal recently and have found that when I stomp it, it won't click and thus won't engage so I can use it. I'm not sure if I should open it up and take a look or not, so I figured I'd come here and see if anyone else has come across a problem like this! It's...

Hi guys, I'm looking at getting a little mixer to help with recording band demos. I've found the Carillon X12 12 Channel Mixer and I'm wondering if I should purchase it. It's going for 150 bucks at a local store. Has anyone ever used one before? I can't seem to find out if I can connect it to...

Hi guys, I'm a bit of a newb with the H2. Just wanted to know if this is possible, and if so, if anyone can tell me how to do it (google searches haven proven fruitless so far) I'm using my Zoom as an overhead for my drums - I also have a kick drum microphone. Am I able to connect the kick...

Substitute hi-hat chain Hi guys, Here's my issue. I'm not a serious drummer - I bought a crappy 200 kit off a friend, just to use for recording as I'm a guitarist. Although, this kit he had no chain from the hi-hat pedal. So at the moment I'm stuck with the hi-hat being always shut, but not...

Hi all, I have a Zoom H2 which I want to use to record my band's pre-gig rehearsal. I am having a bit of trouble with it, as I always seem to have the audio peak and pop even when I turn the input recording level down. I'm not experienced with it and need some help. :o All band members are...

Hi, I've recently bought a Zoom H2, and am trying to use it to record drums. I placed it just above the cymbals, however when I play the recording back, it sounds as if the Zoom was a few metres away, making it sound in the distance and way to echoey. Has anyone experience in recording drums...

Hi, this one should be easy I think. Here's a diagram of my file: The parts that are circled are guitar parts that are supposed to be silent, but there's a little bit of scratching and feedback in there I want to get rid of. How do I go about just completely silencing the parts in the circled...

I have been made an offer to buy some mic's. Figured I'd come to you guys and see if it is worth it, or a total rip off. The deal is a Behringer XM1800S 3 pack for $80 AU. Comes with a mic cable also. Do you think it's worth taking and what are your experiences with this microphone if you've...

Hey, I'm going to be looking into buying some cheap closed headphones for rough mixing and for my electric drum kit fairly soon on eBay... is there any brands you would recommend that I should look for? I'm looking at $50 AU or less. Thanks! -Creep

Hi, Like most of my questions, figured that this one would go int this section. Was wondering it's possible to have sound that's being recorded into the computer be played through the headphones at the same time? Here's a hopefully better explanation: Drummer is playing an electric drum kit...

Hi, I just want a certain part of my tracks volume raised (a few seconds) how can I do this in Reaper? Cheers! :) -Creep

Hey, just messing around with some vocals, and they sound pretty flat by themselves just straight out. Is there anything I can put on them to make them sound kind of smoother? It's not the actual vocals I'm saying sound flat, but was just wondering if anyone knows of something I could do to...

Hi, I'm going to buy an SM57 and have a quick question: is $140 AUS new a good price? I don't want to buy it if they're ripping me off... and this community always gives good, helpful advice. Cheers to anyone who can tell me/tell me where a cheaper place to buy one in Australia is. :) -Creep

Is this possible, and if so, how difficult is it? And is it expensive? And what's the standard equipment? I'm looking into it at the moment, but thought I'd gather you guys knowledge on it too! Cheers! -Creep

Hey! Sorry for the inconvenience. If anyone has an example of solo acoustic guitar recorded with a single SM57 on hand, if they could post it here, as I'm not sure yet if I want it. Just want a quick look into how it will sound! Thanks a lot to anyone who can help! -Creep

Saw these at the local music store for 50 bucks. Worth it? I don't need really expensive ones, as I don't have all the expensive gear. But I figured if these can give me a better sound in my ears while I'm messing with the music, then might as well. Anyone used them? If they're total shit...

Hey, I know about the ReaVerb on REAPER, but there's a sound I want that's a little more, say, spacier. Like, more echo-ey. Bit hard to explain but does anyone know how to do this? I've messed with the ReaVerb FX but can't seem to get the right sound. Cheers! -Creep
