I just finished recording this black metal band and started mixing yesterday. its a pretty brutal track. have a listen, let me know what you think. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=855474&content=music

So im getting a pair of Naiant mics- theyre cheap and ive liked my friend's X-Q's that ive borrowed. I didnt get the chance to try out the X-Q as drum overheads (sadly I dont have drums to try them on). After checking out the Naiant site, Im kinda leaning towards getting a pair of X-M's instead...

So ive been doing research... a lot of research, looking for drum micing solutions. When looking for overheads, ive seen the Naiant MSH 1 come up alot as something cheap and decent. Now i go the the naiant site, and find they done have anything in the MSH line, or even mention it! After doing...

So heres the situation -- i got a grant for $800 to buy some recording equipment to compliment the stuff ive already got. Right now, i have an alesis firewire mixer (16 channel), 2 sm57, 1 sm58, 2 MXL 993's, only 3 stands (2 boom) and 6 cables... Im looking to get some stuff to mic drums better...

ive got 3 new songs recorded and was wondering what you guys though of them. these are the 3 songs: crust/ wall of water- this is off of a live recording i did w/ my firewire void-this is live too annie- ive already noticed some stuff i wanted to change, but i figured id get some more input...

So im looking for some quality drum overheads without going over $500ish. Im have a pair of MXL 993's, but they dont strike me as great quality. Any ideas?

Im new to recording and mixing, but ive been trying some stuff. This song is the first song ive ever mixed, so Im not sure if its "good" or not, but i think it sounds alright. Im not finished, but its getting closer. What do you guys think? Please be honst, if it sucks, let me know...

Im going to be getting a pair of overhead mics, and I was wondering which were better, the MXL 603's or the MXL 993's. I am open to suggestions for other mics. though. I would prefer to stay under 150, but would possibly go as high as 200 for a pair. Oh, and i was wondering if a shockmount is...

Im about to start recording at my house, and I wanted to get some pretty cheap mics that I could use for a bunch of different things, such as drum overhead and some other things. I was thinking of getting the MXL 993 Condenser Mic pair I was just wondering how the quality of these mics were for...

Im just getting into recording, so im going to need to get some more mics. Right now I have 4 to 5 crappy mics ($6 each!) and 1 Sure SM 57. Im thinking im going to buy an Alesis MultiMix 16 to start recording. We are going to need to record 2 horns, drums, 2 guitars, 1 bass and vocals. I dont...

I know im going to sound stupid, but im wondering what the AUX section of this mixer does. Im just getting into recording, and im seriously considering buying the MultiMix 16. Thanks.

Hey, im the guitar player from the awesome awesome band Solvo. We have some songs on our myspace currently, two of which were recorded live with some crappy video recorder, and the other was us playing at practice, recorded with our crappy mics through our crappy powered mixer. Im looking into...

I was wondering if anybody had an Alesis MultiMix 16 FireWire Mixer they were looking to sell, ive been looking into buying one. Thanks.

Ive been trying to record with my band for a while now, and the quality we have been geting from our powered mixer is sub par. We were looking into buying a firewire mixer to get better quality recordings and a way to record multiple tracks at once. I was wondering if anybody had suggestions...

My band has just gotten interested in recording, and we wanted to record a few songs. Were not interested in spending lots of money to get studio quality, we just want something passable. Weve got 2 terrible mics that were planing on replasing with Sure SM58's (or whichever the vocal one is i...
