when micing drums, do people prefer totally damp rooms, or big rooms...mostly for overheads

its good to see people still enjoy townhouse relics. when people assume the quality of a no name guitar when they've never heard it pisses the gods off, if it sounds good, GOOD

I went into a pawnshop a couple years ago and picked up this Cinar guitar (made by Ibanez). It looked like someone actually burned the sunbusrt in ,and it has a all maple neck. Its got a fixed bridge too. This guitar is amazing. I strap .11's on it and the pick-ups seem to be a little hotter...

I think spending hours of work penning out my cover/book art was worth it. It is b/w to help production costs, but i'd choose it over a colour photo any day.a VERY true statement i read was NOT putting pictures on the cover, in fact theres no band photos at all. I think it keeps a bit of mystery...

does freaky-ass cover/book art help sell (not make loads of cash or anything i.e $4 a cd) less than perfect quality c.d's? Would anyone be more opt to buy a demo didsc if its got lots of interesting cover art?

I have a basement band and i just put out a C.D done mostly on my 4 track. The quality is not amazing even though it was masterd and effects added on a Roland digital worstation in the end and dumped on to cd.It still sound a bit cheap though. Theres 14 songs(punk/alt)which i think is alot, and...

it looks most like the akai771, but theres a place to plug in a mic and a radio(?) signal (2 inputs for each channel)for each left and right channels. its all tube, i got the original service manuals,and operation manuals. i noticed the speed is a bit slow, so im thinking there may be too much...

I have an old Roberts 1967 reel to reel 4 track (left & right, 2 inputs each), and i was wondering if they're still usefull. The heads seem to be good, it can run at 7 1/2(?) IPS, and the tape looks twice as wide as casette. I have a FOstex XR-7 which has served me well, but im contemplating...

Thats what i wanted to know. I think ill have to find a friend with a good computer and sound card. thanx

I have all my tracks done on my 4-track and i want to mixdown it to the VCR BUT, is it worth it? Can people put VHS to a CD? Should I rent a ADAT?

I have this old traynor head. Its a 300 watt. i dont have speakers yet so i pluged it into a 12 on the back of my Fender amp, even cranked to 10 it didnt put out a lot ,like just room volume. i know its gotta have something to d owith ohmes, or impedance, so what do i put with it?

thanks that explained it good

same rig here my friend, no name shit, into a Marshall 8080 combo, MT-2 a wah and an old ross phaser, sounds way fuckin better than my friends 900 Godin, if you have soul, and can play like your hands were blessed by God himself, then fuck the eqipment and just play, to bad he spent his time...

When i mix down i was wondering if i turn up the line (individual track volumes) volumes more or the master (all at once)? Im just using a 4 trac fostex?

I have a Fender condenser, a Beyerdynamic dynamic, acheapo dixon and SM57. I have a 4 channel radioshack mixer, mono if used all 4 inputs. Can i reca to 1/4 into track 4 , will i get a good basement band sound on the drums. Any other ideas? Can i do it on tr 3 and bass on 2 and bounce them all...
