    First post in probably a year, check my progress please!

    Hi guys! Been a while since I've posted in here and I wanted to share with you guys how I have progressed (even though most of you guys probably don't remember me lol). Anyways, here's a song that I did recently with a band that's about 3 hours from where I live. I posted one of their old...

    Vocoder style plug in?

    waves tune works great. select all of the notes and turn the knobs all to the left except for the amount of correction (you will probably have to do some sliding of the notes to get the right sound). i just had a mix you can listen to in the mp3 section, but no one seems to like the effect...

    Who needs expensive equipment?

    I agree with all of you. Drummer practices with a metronome and he has improved a great deal but he needs to improve a great deal more. He needs to learn to stay in the pocket. Thanks everyone for the listen. Unfortunately, the cher effect has to say because in the end, it's what the client...

    Who needs expensive equipment?

    the band wanted the effect. sorry forgot to mention that. its pretty popular in a lot of todays music from r&b to rock. they wanted kind of a signature "t-pain" effect. thanks for the listen?

    Who needs expensive equipment?

    I recorded this band this weekend (pretty good band) and I decided to put the mix up for review. None of the mic's that were used for this recording were more than $200. The guitars were ran through a jcm2000 head (not sure of the cab model number), miked with a sm57 and akg c2000 b. The...

    Live gig recording of a 3-piece....

    the omnis are going to pick up everything. If I were you i would use the oktava and the 4050 as overhead positioned above the kit as a spaced pair making sure the snare is in the exact middle, put a 57 on top of the snare, another 57 in front of the kick drum (replace this with samples if...

    Do I Need Pro Tools To Be Taken Seriously?

    That's usually how I explain it to customers. I tell them that Pro Tools would actually slow me down and they would be restricted unless they wanted me to up my prices to afford something that will not better the sound of their music in any way. They usually shut up. Except this one guy that...

    Starting to seriously record with Cubase. A simple question! (Bitrate/proj. settings)

    Oops, I posted the wrong article. I had it bookmarked and me being in a hurry I saw the title and thought that was the one. I'll look for the right one and post it. However it is irrelevant at this point. I agree 100%, 24/44.1. It seems as though it should have more latency because the...

    Do I Need Pro Tools To Be Taken Seriously?

    I agree with most of you guys. The reason I don't have pro tools to begin with was the limitations. Digidesign kind of disgusts me. The make a program that only works with THEIR hardware. Good in the sense of business, bad for the consumer. I think that the reason why Pro Tools became the...

    Starting to seriously record with Cubase. A simple question! (Bitrate/proj. settings)

    Latency effects latency because all audio interfaces have to buffer a certain amount of samples into temporary memory. Because 96khz is twice the sample rate of 48khz (48khz and 96khz was chosen for easy mathematical reasons), theres double the amount of information that has to be buffered at...

    Any young engineers here? ( 25+ under)

    I'm 20 and my mixing is better than my tracking. I tend to fix a lot of tracking errors while mixing. It has a lot to do with my small room while recording drums. vocals, guitar, & bass sound good though. Plus I havent worked with really great bands. Been recording since I was 14. Recorded...
