I recently joined here, to learn more information about recording and such.
Isabella is the song that we recently recorded, but everything when hit together just sounds really monotone. I don't really know what to do or how to go about this differently. I'm trying to invest in a firepod and better mics.What we used: Tascam US-122, Cubase Sx, SM57, a $50 senheisner(sp?), and one other cheap mic. We used all three mics to record the drums, we placed one at the bass drum and the other two overhead then ran them through the mixer then to the tascam us-122. We first recorded a live track and then the drummer recorded a seperate track to that. Then we did the beginning guitar stuff which we used the sm57 to mic the guitar amp. Then we did bass directly in from my amp(bassman 100). Finished the other guitar parts. Then keys directly in, then vocals and thats it.
If you could please give me some tips or something for future recording or how to make it sound better that would be good. Any critique whether it be good or bad will be beneficial. Also, if you could do the same to You're Water; Powered By Gatorade.
Thanks,
-Jason.
