coming from a newbie, I love it. it has a really raw feel to it thats just awesome.

Its not bad if this is your first time with stuff like this, but like others are saying, it could be better. Use a reference track and work off of that for now. Listen to each instrument and compare it to other instruments.

Yep I am sure. I stretched out the wav file and I can see a clear cut in the wav file. Any other ideas?

I have been using Sonar 4. Its been awesome! Been recording so much that now my computer is starting to run slower. My C drive is at 33% of space available. Some times my buffer rate is at 70%-89% with many dropouts or the song just doesn't play back. Why is it though, that after I track...

I have been debating this lately. I am a total amateur at recording. I was listening to A Perfect Circle's album, the new Five for Fighting album, and the Kings of Leon's new album and I realized that it seems that my recordings sound too thick! My drums sound too full and I think I have to EQ...

you guys are funny!

great ideas and tips! thanks all! going to try it tonight to see what works best with what I got.

Is there an appropriate or right or best/worst way to record the "someone is entering a room and then walks towards something" type of sound? I tried to capture the sound of the keys at the door, the door opening and closing, then the footsteps walking (panned) from left to right....then drops...

Good to know. I honestly think his creativity was always respected and appreciated just like how everyone else in the group has been, but I can see that as well. It seems that our goals may have changed as the years went on. If that is the case, what can we do now?

I agree. I hope he realizes it. Why is that? I hope not.

I am building a cardboard box one for my combo. Its not the best, but will work for now. I dont travel much and play 1-2 times a month only.

Thanks for ALL the replies guys! I really appreciate it. There are so many great, inspiring, and thoughtful responses. Thank you all. I did have a one-on-one talk with him and he just defended himself mostly. He said that there were things in the band that happened over the years that...

I am recording my band. All the members are my cousins, close friends and brothers. I have been spending countless nights and weekend editing, mixing, tracking etc.... We all know the work involved. After all that work, my vocalist still continues to tell me that he hates the editing, the...

Thanks RAMI! How can I double check for phase cancellation now?

Good to know. How can I double check if I have phase cancellation? Also< i used two-SM57's because one speaker is a Celestion G12 and the other is a Celestion V30.

cool...i'll try that then. thanks!

When i solo each track, I can hear each recording still. The deville speakers are positioned angled, not side by side in the cab and the distances I placed the mics from the grill were different. I will assume it is not phase cancellation.

I'll try the hard panning and the high pass. Thanks!

I did apply EQ in which I turned up the mids mostly. I turned my distortion down on my amp already. Whats strange is on my fender Deville, i play the gain at a level 3 when I play live, but when I record it, it sounds too muddy and thick, hence when recorded, I usually record at a level 1...

What can I do to my mix if it sounds like my guitars are not loud enough? It sounds like when I turn them up, they tend to cover up the drums. When I turn them down, they dont sound clear enough. I have the following setup: Presonus Firestudio ----> Sonar 4 I used two SM57's. Guitars are...
