Thanks for all the replies! you've all been real helpful, especially that article you posted coolcat. I'm gonna read all this over and let it sink in, then post any questions. Thanks again all.

hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted, but I'm in need of a little help. I tried posting this a while ago, but never got a straight response...everyone just kept telling me it was a bad idea...but here goes... If i wanted to start a commercial studio, what equipment would you...

"a douche bag is a hygenical product, I take that as a compliment." sorry, couldn't resist. If you haven't seen Wet Hot American Summer, see it.

Fairly large. the school has around 32,000-40,000 students.

i'll hafta agree on the charity gigs, that's how we got our foot in the door. If you go to a lot of the open mics, there are usually people/activities directors there looking for people to play @ benefits. If you play @ an open mic and they like you, they'll approach you. At least that's what...

we played a couple, but just by knowing people in frats, activities, etc.

Josh, whatever you decide man, you gotta let me try it out! I pm'ed you a while back

Close...I actually tried to lower the hi end b/c the kick drum clipped while I was tracking...probably need to invest in another compressor, or just lower my meters The train at the end is something i just through in. The song is about when I used to live in NY and how I rode the subways...

haha...I guess I never thought of that, but it does! regardless, thanks for your help and input, i'm gonna work on those guitar sounds. xfinster, I have had problems with the bass from the start. if i try to boost the mids, it conflicts with the guitars and the kick slap. if i cut the low end...

Thanks for the reply. Could you be more specific on parts that do not seem original or trite? It's funny, b/c that song actually won the originality award at a local Battle of the Bands...i just want to improve as much as possible, so any specific comments would be greatly appreciated.

I'm 21, been playing piano since I was 3, saxaphone since 12, flute and guitar since 13, bass and drums since 16, and I've just started to learn violin, cello, and accordian...I can't get enough! Started a band when i was 17 and have been gigging since. I guess you could say I got into...

Ok, sorry about that, let's try this again: Downtown: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/28826_supercolliderdowntown.mp3 Jet Black Glass: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/71906_supercolliderjetblackglass.mp3 Again, your comments are greatly appreciated and thanks for listening.

bought an ad120vtx a few months ago b/c it was on sale for $799. Although it set me back a few hundred, I never regretted it. And you're right about recording...it can reproduce some of the amp sounds very convincingly, and it's all I use for recording/gigging. The variable wattage is also...

Get a Studio Projects B1. I use it with my 57 to mic my vox ad120vtx and it's probably the cheapest, but great sounding LDC you'll find.

I was wondering if anyone here can post videos of themselves drumming. I love watching people doing beats that I can't, and watching them helps me learn a lot. My friend got me started on drums by letting me watch a video of his guitar center drumoff. I know there are dvds and downloadable...
