I took a bunch of advice from my last post and here is a new song we just did. Drums: 2 overhead, 1 snare, 1 kick mic 2 guitars, bass, no vocals just yet I made it only the first 80 seconds so the file is small. I am still trying to train my ears and I'm not quite sure whats wrong or right...

I think its time to buy a new mic stand :) I just got a new shure ksm27 condenser mic(which I'm in love with) and because of my flimsy boom stand its fallen 3 times already into walls, my bass, floor. hehe its well made, I can say that.. not a scratch on it(yet)

hey guys, read alot on here about rolling off at certain freq. and cutting things under this and over that, etc.. here is a picture of the eq screen I look at in cakewalk someone suggested I fix my bass guitar in the mix but getting rid of midrange freq of around 200Hz where would that be on...

Hey all, I've read through about 19 pages of drum threads in here and haven't come to any surefire solutions to live drum recording. hehe I've seen 3,4, and more mic ideas.. unfortunately most of the mp3 samples aren't up anymore on the old threads I have a kick mic, sm57 and bunch of 58's and...

I'm pretty new to Sonar and I've done everything in 16 bit mode so far, because when I try to switch to 24 bit everything pretty much freezes up and won't playback I have a new computer with the right hardware for it: Pent IV 1.7 GHZ 500+ Meg Ram Soundblaster Platinum Card, Echo Gina 24bit...

Well from being on here for a little while the general thought is my next step should be to get a set of monitors for mix down. Question 1: How do you set them up? what do the monitors plug into on your computer? Any special hardware needed? Question 2: Can I get a pair of powered monitors...

Hey all I'm a clueless EQ user right now. I'm new to the whole recording deal and I was wondering if any of you knew a good website to read up on the very basics of EQ rolloffs, bands, hz, etc..... <-- clueless :) thanks in advance!

well I tried setting up the metronome to use while recording after some playing and setting adjustment I got the metronome to play out of my PC speakers but not out of my echo gina headphone jack. While recording vocals, of course I can't have a loud metronome in the background :) there...

Just wondering... I have a condenser mic(requires phantom) a pre-amp and a compressor/limiter rackmount and I dump it all into my computer Should I plug into the compressor first, then the pre-amp or the pre-amp first then the compressor? both have XLR inputs

ok so I'm returning the Nady 1050 tube mic after about 30 people I let listen to my mp3 comparison voted that the SM58 was a better overall sound pooh on that I went out today and got a SHURE KSM27 Condenser Mic $299 and I even got a Behringer 2200 compresser/limiter for $99 (at that price, I...

I just did a quick take with the new nady 1050 for the first verse and first chorus and then another track with a sure 58 for the 2nd verse and chorus, through the same pre-amp both with same reverb and compression settings here is the mp3... what do you guys think? is it worth keeping the...

I live in a apt building so singing in my room where my stuff is will undoubtly bring complaints. can I pad the sound down by stringing a blanket up around me as a makeshift iso booth? dumb idea?

well I just started setting up my home studio and bought a NADY 1050 Tube condenser mic bascially because I had a $300 limit and it came with all the cool accessories :) from reading on here seems like people don't have too much faith in nady. I'm going home to use it for the first time really...
