    Starting own record label

    Considering this thread is 6+ years old, and the OP is long gone after his 11 posts (all from 2006), I'm pretty sure he's not gonna receive your "well wishes." Keep up the good work.

    Anyone ever use EZMix?

    what DAW are you using? You should be able to launch as many separate instances of ezmix as your computer can handle on each track. It's like having a chain of effects, except you're chaining preset ezmix multi-effects instead. Every instance would have it's own preset, be it compression, eq...

    Vocal Busses

    Yep, like mixsit, I have a template setup for Drums, Guitars, lead vocals, bg vocals, synths, strings, and misc. Anything that I will have more than one track or instance of, gets sent to a bus for global treatment. Bass I leave out, as I only deal with a DI track, not DI and amp. If that...

    How do you record a song? What are your steps?

    If I'm doing a fairly simple arrangement without drums, a click track or repeating beat (whichever works best for the job and person) is set up to play along with for guitar or piano, then the vocals and limited overdubs. If I'm planning on doing a full production with drums, then I almost...

    Metering in digital domain

    Ok, If no one minds, I wouldn't mind jumping in to check my understanding of a couple things I *think* I've learned from this. 1. Don't stress on the digital meters, and set levels from the anolog front end. So I should be able to set my external pre how I'd like it to be, as long as I'm not...

    resonant frequency

    It may be the guitar, but because I found that the troublesome frequency was rearing its head on another guitar, (a OOO body), I figured it had to be the room. My main recording guitar is a dreadnought, that's not going to help I know, but it has a nicer tone than the OOO. I'll try humming...

    resonant frequency

    Thanks, but this is regardless of mic position. I use the method you describe mostly, but even with other miking techniques, it's often heard. I'm leaning toward it being a modal room issue.

    Metering in digital domain

    There are always going to be several views, even on things purely scientific. It comes down to understanding. The fact remains that usually, there is correct and incorrect views. I'm not going to say that this applies for everything, but for most. Just because the mass opinion is one thing...

    Metering in digital domain

    First off, I've enjoyed the read and have learned a few valuable things from this thread so I'd like to thank the contributors and the thread starter. I'm impressed with the level of knowledge found within, despite the opposing views. OffCenter, you originally asked a question completely...

    resonant frequency

    You know, I haven't actually checked the spectrum analyzer. Good point. I am using my Tannoy Reveals in my treated room. I'm using a peluso CEMC6, so would be surprised if the mic is causing it, but suppose I could try and eliminate it from the equation. I wonder if it could be guitar...

    resonant frequency

    I've been trying to get a better acoustic guitar sound and spent the day moving around the room trying to find the ideal location within my room to set up my mic and chair for recording. I think I've found the best possible place, but no matter what I do, I get a hefty resonant frequency build...

    Panning and eq-ing backing vocals (and lead vocals)

    Here's my thoughts on your question... Having a doubled lead track isn't for every track and can be quite distracting and amateurish if not done well. These parts need to be tight to each other with very limited timing differences. Small timing differences and pitch differences are what makes...

    best vocal mic for 500.00

    Oh wow... yoda, you went off, hey? Also... I puked in my mouth a little, after reading your "about Ed" page from your provided studio link. Jus' sayin'.

    DMB Crash Album Best Mix Ever?

    At the end of the day, this is what it boils down to. Somehow the stuff that really works for some people, can elicit a completely different response from others. Music in a nutshell.
