Wish I had all that at 13 !!!
Starting at that age with that gear is a major advantage over most teens. Looks like you got a good head start.

[bubinski]

Power to ya !!! Sounds like you're off on the right trail. To bad more young people don't have the brains or desire to br creative.
Any positive use of a persons time is a great thing, and I applaude you.
Good luck in your endevores ! Feel free to ask about anything her, but I'd stay away from the Dragon Cave if I were you.

[Markd102]

Age is no barrier here..... hell, we even talk to an old fossil called Harvey

[ZEKE SAYER]

[ZEKE SAYER]

YOU JUST USED NADY AND PRO IN THE SAME LINE


HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!


AND I LOVE MY "NADY" "PRO" MIC!



MABYE YOU JUST DON'T LIKE THE SOUND THE I LIKE?

[darrin_h2000]

I have 2 nady scm900 mics

Even Harvy Gerst has a nady mic.

[ZEKE SAYER]

those scm 900's are good ant they.

Zeke,

The main problem with Nady mics, is their (lack of) quality control. If you got a good one, great! Just don't except your next Nady mic to be as good, or even usable. I bought one Nady mic, and still regret it.
The Marshall Electronics mics are just as inexpensive, and are a whole lot better. I bought my MXL-1006 for 79$ at Sam Ash, which is what the SCM-900 costs. For that price, you can also get a MXL-603, which is supposedly a wonderfull overhead mic. Check them out next time you're mic shopping.

Good for you Zeke!!

I wish I could have gotten started in recording a little earlier. I'm 28 and have been in a band for about 13 years, and just within the last month bit the bullet and bought a Fostex VF160 hard disk recorder. I am just beginning my long journey into home recording. There is soooo much to learn!

With all of this great stuff getting within a reasonable cost to us consumers, and the vast amount of knowlege on the internet, I think we'lll be seeing lots more independents making incredible recordings. It's a very exciting time.

Pros are starting younger and younger. We're seeing it everywhere. Web design, sports .... Ever feel like you're just in front of the curve?!?! Oh well .....

And how about these forums? Arent they great?!?! I am so addicted now!

[dcptnsdcvd]

damn dude, i'm jealous too! i was still playin snare in drum corps at that time, didn;t even have a set.
i gotta ask, you got any of your recorded music available to listen to? i'm anxious to hear how you've fared so far (scared is more like it, lol).

[ZEKE SAYER]

man i wish could post a sample but i'm still try'n to learn how.
i you can e-mil me your address i wound be happy to send you a cd of my work. if you want e-mail me at rainrecords1@yahoo.com
a give me you mailing adress there(that way your address won't be posted here for god knows who to see.)


hey you don't have to but thats the only way i can get my music to you unless i find away to get my music posted here.


thanks man,

zeke

Zeke -

Why dont you sign up on MP3.com? They will host as many songs as you like - PLUS you can group them together and make a cd to sell. It's all free. The only thing you have to do is make one song freely down-loadable. All the others you can be set to "stream only". You keep all the rights to everything.

just an idea.

check out my band at http://www.mp3.com/felicitous to see what you can do.

[ZEKE SAYER]

i just found away to post my songs on the internet. i will have
some songs posted here as they are recorded!

Dang, I think when I was 13 I was listening to Nirvana and eyeballing an ulgy little no name $75 electric guitar at a local music store which I would later buy.

[gartulan]

When I was thirteen I played with matches.....

And I had no idea how to properly use the comma....

Way to go!!!

[Markd102]

When I was 13 I thought a parradiddle was a sexually perverted act that involved urinating on people in wheelchairs

[darrin_h2000]

When I was 13 all I had was a jar of vasaline and a pair of my sisters panties.

[dcptnsdcvd]

nasty, very nasty dude

[darrin_h2000]

Its not what you think,your mind is in the gutter...

I wore the underpants and only strange men used the vasaline.

[YamahaPaiste]

...not sure...but that may be worse

[darrin_h2000]

I was only Kidding, there were no strange men, Only relatives.

[YamahaPaiste]

hehehehehehe

Welcome to the club Zeke. Actually youll find that there are many young people hear. Im 17 and started recording when i was fourteen. Ive been recording now professionally for two years now and i probably couldnt have done it without this forum. So i would also like to thank everyone in this forum for answering my questions for me (i know i can be a huge pain in the butt sometimes ).

Now ive got my own studio at my own place with walls and stuff, 15 ft by 25 ft, with a Mackie 1604 VLZ mixer, Nuendo recording computer that can handle around 32 tracks 24bit, 11 SM57s, AT4033, Senheiser e602, 2 ECM 8000s, 5 headphones with headphone distributor, Tannoy Reveal monitors, and a Mackie 1400i amp which i also use for live stuff, and i charge $25 an hour for recording.

Keep going and i promise you will eventually get better, and the key is to stick around hear and read as much as you can and listen to the genious's here. I dunno if your planning on recording for a living or not but if you start recording people for money even at $5 or $10 an hour and your good at it, and then put the money you earn back in the studio, eventually you will obtain much gear . Also, go to your local local band concerts and let people know you can record, its the best way to find people that want to record for less money but decent quality. I started out with a computer, a delta 44 (which i spent long hours earning) and the help from a friend with is mixer and his few 57s. Then most important, reading as much as i could here and everywhere else on the net.

Again, thanks again everyone in the forums. If i didnt have this forum i wouldnt be anywhere. Thanks.
