Has anyone played with this yet? I watched the Waves videos and demoed the product but I am not sure that I am getting all that I can out of it. Seems like a nice harmonic booster with a limited tape simulator but the EQ thing is loosing me. Is that further playing with the harmonics? I tried...

This is the Third song for our amateur produced LP. Much more Animation. How is everything setting? https://soundcloud.com/bigredants/what-you-saw-m3/s-EiHba

We completed our mix for this song. It's come a long way since Friday night and I feel like we are getting better. We have got to do a better job while recording and mixing the snare on our next attempt. Check it out. https://soundcloud.com/bigredants/sugar-exp-rc5/s-gyMuh

This song is right in our wheelhouse so the recording went quick. I only have about an hour in the mix. You guys helped us a ton with the first song so tell me like it is. https://soundcloud.com/bigredants/sugar/s-1N75y

I am pretty sure that the background hiss is do to a lack of headroom when we recorded. I had to keep turning tracks down when compressing and I think that caught up with me. The hiss was not present on the original recorded tracks. The artist (my son and his band) would not let me spread out...

Thank you all for all the feedback. We did tweak the low end and vocals just a tad as was suggested. (You guys are way better at catching this stuff than we are at this point.) This is a labor of love for us and I find it very interesting that you could tell that we have put some time into this...

For your pleasure. Please listen, review and comment. It's our first home recorded attempt. https://soundcloud.com/bigredants/im-tryin Updated Mix after taking in your suggestions. https://soundcloud.com/bigredants/im-trying-exp02-6a-mas/s-q3ubD (Raised bass volume, spread the drum mix...

Long story short, bought a new Mac. It came running OSX 10.10. Bought Akai interface. Not the best choice. Free software was not compatible so I bought Logic Pro X. Interface ended up being a pain in the ass to dial in so I upgraded. We also decided we wanted more inputs to record drums. Did...

You may be right. Maybe I need to check the plug for a loose neutral.

They are appearing on all five of the drum tracks and at random spots on the waveform. I double triple checked to make sure it was not a peak issue at the time and even have it in random spots of silence. I will see if I can bounce an earlier take (if they did not get deleted already) but I have...

We tried something different over the weekend and setup to record in a different part of our house. We wanted to see what our drum tracks would sound like in a much larger room with vaulted ceiling and all of us were pretty impressed with what we got except we were getting the dreaded snap...

We recorded 10 songs in studio. It averaged 4 hours a song including mix. We rushed the last couple of mixes due to budget concerns but they were larger mixes (7 and 8 instruments). Studio said to budget 4 hours a song and they were pretty much dead on. Mastering took 3 hours for the 10 songs...

We have gotten some very good results recording vocals and guitar tracks in a room that was added on to the back of our home but we can't seem to seem to capture the drums without a lot of bounce back and echo. We are going to move the kit into our living room that is shaped more lilke a...

Your Thoughts about CAD Drum Mics For The New Guy Hi all, we are entering the world of home recording and started laying down some demo tracks. There is so much to learn but it is also so much fun. Let me tell you what I'm using before I ask a couple of questions. Dual Core Mac Mini 16 gig of...

Sorry, will do. Looks like questions 2 and 3 are answered on other threads anyway.
