Bingo!! I need to watch this again. Hey thank you flyingace! Peter O'Toole, Donald Sutherland??? Sort of similar, one could argue. Both great actors.
Thanks again!
Rob, you paint a picture of my life on stage. I had to laugh.
The sound guy is great and very patient. He wants the volume of my .mp3 player maxed. Massive, you said to first get the vocal where I want it. And then bring up the backing track. I think Rob had things in the opposite order. I...
Thanks Farview. I think you're spot on with my situation. I practice a lot but not so much with the mic and monitor. And, of course, I hear myself talk all day and I know what that sounds like and the singing without the mic reinforces this sound. So, like you said, I put a mic in front of my...
To start what a great thread!! I have an Aston Element condensing mic, Focusrite Solo AI and 5" M-Audio monitors. I use Reaper for recording and mixing. My goal is very simply to record my own voice using backing tracks for the purpose of vocal improvement. I was shocked at how the mic...
Yes, I've dropped any serious thoughts of IEM. But the 'problem' that prompted these thoughts remains. I feel I can sing pretty well without a mic. But put a mic in the mix and I'm close to having my adoring fans start to throw food. (Of course this wouldn't happen.) I am trying to find a way to...
I started going to a local Open Mic for the last few weeks. I was starting to feel better with using the stage monitors. That was until last night. A major disappointment. Several things happened but the biggest issue remains me getting the mix set and allow me to relax and focus on just...
Thanks for all the great input and teachings. I've been going to a local Open Mic for the last few weeks. I was starting to feel better with using the stage monitors. That was until last night. A major disappointment. Several things happened but the biggest issue remains me getting the mix set...
This is pretty close but way too new. The one I'm thinking about was based in the US. I can't believe there are so many movies that are so similar. Thanks!!
This does help. I had understood that the mic gain was a set it and forget. And it makes the most sense if the channel volume and/or master volume are set to zero because, as you said, the gain and the volume are independent. I am curious why the channel 1 gain LED is located next to the Pan...
VHS, I would not blame you. :) I don't recall it was a academy-award-winning level film. I just remember how the focus was on the ugly front-end work of technique and, only then, did the student get to realize the reward which was a beautiful voice.
