The only difference between professionals and amateurs is that professionals get paid. It's all about knowing what to do. Polishing turds isn't a bad thing per se if you know how to do it. Making use of unlimited options is the source of all evil in audio engineering. Limits are good (if you...

When you envision the singer standing on a mountain top, making big dramatic gestures, with long hair blown back by the wind, and the camera flying around. Seriously though, listening is key. Just do what you think sounds good. If you think the recording needs some reverb, just try it out. If...

In response to the original question: would it help to duck either the problematic OH, or maybe both OHs, behind the snare track? That should get it centered, right?

I'm not much of a social networks kinda guy anymore. If I want to be social, I'll call/text/mail. So forgive me if I seem like some clueless old man. (FYI I'm 20. :p) Anyway. It seems MySpace is more of an undead than a living network. It seems only independent musicians still desperately try...

I'm looking for a small portable MIDI controller type 25-key keyboard, but so far I've only found pure MIDI controllers. I want one with built-in sounds, so that the keyboard is a standalone instrument, should I for whatever reason not have access to a computer etc. Any ideas? Does this even exist?

If having two mixers confuses you... ...you don't have to use both all the time. Just set the levels to what you want them to be on the interface, and then use the mixer in the daw for some final adjustments or automation. (That's what I usually do anyway.)

In GarageBand there's a single band compressor and multiband compressor. Personally I like to keep it simple and stick with the single band, but the multi-band opens up some possibilities. But that's more advanced stuff, I'd say. In the single band compressor (the one that's automatically set...

^^This. Your cymbals appear to be very close to the close mics on the toms so they probably have a lot of cymbals in them too, and that can cause trouble with the amount of cymbal your overheads. Put them up a little higher, and don't hit them so hard (you're not supposed to be bashing away at...

:eek: I actually have this thing too! It's what I started messing around with. I don't know exactly what's wrong with my pedals, over the last few years they've been kind of selective as to when they decide to work or not. But it's a cool little device, well worth the money.

I usually keep them a 5A drumstick width apart. Just lay the stick on the bottom hat, and lock the clutch when the top hat rests on the stick. So far it's worked for me with every hi hat, no exception.

I posted this is another thread too, and it happens to perfectly fit the description of your thread. One dynamic mic on the snare drum, one dynamic mic in the kick drum, and a small diaphragm condenser on each tom. http://www.mediafire.com/file/rlufbz1etr282zl/All I Know (demo 2).mp3 Because...

I wouldn't be surprised if my method is simply a lucky coincidence of a combination of drums and microphones, but I use four mics, close mics on snare and kick, and two small diaphragm condensers for overheads (Behringer C2s to precise, they're amazingly bang-for-your-buck). I started with the...

Errr, ...yeah. I tried recording into the phono inputs on the back this weekend, with the amp blasting away with the master volume at 12 o'clock, because basically those were the only inputs left when the XLR inputs were used for the drumkit. No problems at all here! Should I feel ashamed for...

Last week I bought my Marshall JCM2000 DSL401. That thing just made my day, week, month, and possibly year. :D Anyway, I tried recording from the DI Speaker Emulated output on the back, just to see how it would sound with this amp (it sounds mediocre in most amps). Surprisingly it sounds...

For me the opposite was true. Learning from a teacher, you depend on what this teacher wants you to learn: on my own I was a lot quicker, just learning as many songs as I could, and writing my own things as well right from the start. It's the only way I could ever learn to play guitar rather...

He calls himself Supercreep for a reason. We might never understand his humor. I'm not too big on hi-hat fiddling either. They should add dirt and texture to the rhythm for me, not subtle little rapidfire clicks.

I'm in need of a new amp. I know I want 'that Marshall sound', unoriginal as it may be. Every riff I come up with just sounds that much cooler with the typical Marshall crunch. Anyway, in hopefully not too long a while my band and I are going to start playing shows. Currently I have an AVT20...

@Greg_L: Hoe. Lee. Shit! I like to put my hi hat hat pretty high as well, but oh my Bob, how do you manage to put it so high AND so far left?!:eek:

I have a bracelet with beads of wood, but I have to take it off because I can't rest my palm or wrist on the guitar without my arm rolling all of the guitar. Other than than I wear nothing that really gets in the way (and I sometimes have a lot of weird shit on and around my hands at times). I...

Agreed, Page tends (or tended, as nowadays he seems to have a pretty massive tone) to sound thin and tinny, but their show at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970 sounds great. That's usually the kind of sound I'm going for. Lost of fuzzy overdrive going on. I try to get the sound of that show on ANY...
