What are monitoring on? The reason I ask is that it seems a bit lacking at both extremes of the spectrum. In that vein, I think the kick could be eq'ed to take some of the 150-400Hz woolyness out. I quite like the tune, but i feel like that it would flow better 5-10bpm faster (or with faster...

Sounds promising, but i think the mix is a little less than desirable. Try listening to your favorite cd's, and really listen (maybe even take notes) A few things to get you started: Balance (how loud each part is relative to the other) Panning (left to right) Perspective (how close or far the...

Its a good start, but it sounds a bit odd to me. Firstly i would play with the drum tuning, the toms especially. I know it seems counter intuitive, but get the toms to ring out nicely and them damp them until they are controllable. When the drums sound good in the room, you can start messing...

I like 4011's for overhead, i usually do a recorderman thing but on a session yesterday i did a spaced pair and was pretty happy. Kick - Re20 inside (again tuning of the kick will be very important esp if its closed) Snare - Sm57 will do the job fine, but the 441 (if you can fit it in!) has...

You do not need the word clock, adat has a built in clock. Have you tried just with adat?

You can use two different mics and pan them to get a pleasing sound, but it will not be a stereo recording. If you want to record a small ensemble then i would reccomend the same mics, but for acoustic guitar (im thinking pop/rock not for fingerstyle) i would just go with what sounds best

I will have something very soon (next day or two) that i would like you to take a shot at :) I will send you a PM as soon as its ready.

I can only further reiterate what has been said. I would say get rid of whatever stuff you have downloaded (i apologize if my assumption is incorrect) and get a copy of Reaper (http://www.reaper.fm) which you can use a fully working trial of. Then i will be happy to help you :cool:

In addition to what has been already said, workflow is often very different. For a lot of rock bands the band will be set up to play live, but with amps in iso booths so the only sources making noise into the drum mics are drums and vocals (although the singer could be in a booth as well) A...

not trying to sound like an arsehole, but having amazing sounding drums and then putting them with poorly recorded vocals, guitars and bass is only going to accentuate the flaws in those tracks. If you want to do the whole track drums in the studio then do others at home i would recommend hiring...

u5 line output into the 737's line input. done :D

Okay, not a bad start but it sounds like it could use some help. The snares ringing alot it sounds almost like whistle, this could be helped with tuning, damping and technique. Toms arent too badly represented but there a little flabby (tune them up a bit) Kick has no punch, i would try to get a...

no link. :)

That album was produced by Mark Ronson, who is widely known to run everything to tape at very hot levels (theres a SOS article before this cd was done) which could be why theres nasty distortion (overloading input circuit rather than tape saturation) I havent listened to the CD, her voice annoys...

my biggest gripe is the timing, a song of this genre in my eyes should be really tight. The tempo can vary but every member of the band needs to aware of it. Mix wise, the kick isnt very pretty maybe replacing it would help.. same with the snare. Vocals arent very convincing performance wise...
