Hammonds are an expensive piece of kit dude, try and aim as low as possible - he'll only be selling on the brand. Check online, you can always get a deal saying you've seen them at such a price and he's wanting more :) You'll need to know the exact model though, they're going from $200 to...

From what I gather, standing away from the mic can or can't be a good idea, it's all a method of testing what you like really. To get an announcement sort of sound (like the start of that Slipknot song where Corey is saying 'this is the year where all hope fails you...etc etc' over a air-raid...

Hi there, Now I've recorded for a while now but never taken in to consideration what any of the above actually are. Could someone please give a newbie rundown of the above and how they affect recording input and output? Many thanks, Dom

When I was starting to use samples and backing tracks, my initial idea was to rig up a SPD-S, spend lots of money and use 2 pads if I'm lucky. Alternatively, I bought an ancient midi interface and sampler off my friend for £120 (when I say ancient, they're both from mid-80's to 90's and costing...

With the recordings I'm doing at the moment, I've sampled all my drums through Reason and used the advanced reverb device to put a 'gated' reverb on it (I think it's called 80's reverb or something). I've reduced it loads but it just gives a bit of extra sustain - however, as some of you may...

Haha that's very true - I've done it many times. Nearly as heartbreaking as the project becoming corrupted when you next coming round to record. Only happened once or twice but my faith in everything just totally disintergrated. Thanks for the help anyway guys!

Hi there, I've been recording for a while but just decided to get back in to it recently with my band but my computer tends to get totally clogged up with audio files in the pool which are unused at the end of the mix. Does anyone know an easier way of doing this through Kristal (I'm using...

I'm not sure if someone's just mentioned this tip already but from recording throughout the years, the best tip for recording guitars is to mic directly to the bottom left of the cone. For some weird physical reason, the bass, mid and treble aparently settles the best in this area. If you have...

Hey bro, Don't have anything ready just yet. Check out the line6 pocket pod which is what we have. It's pretty much plug and play - select your tone or make your own. We have that for the electric guitars and our bassists' line6 bass pod-xt which is really nice too and again, simply plug and...

Hey man, I've been recording for a while but never thought of putting any effort in to equipment. I generally just record demos with my band (nothing set for release) but we've come out with some great sounding stuff! Now I know you want a usb input but still hear me out: I have a Behringer...

Or ghost track ;) It's mainly for cue's though and generally 1 guitar and vocal cues for choruses and whatnot. Doen't have to be mindblowing cause it'll just get deleted anyway so doesn't need any effot. But yeah, that's how a lot of producers do it :)

Honestly, speed doesn't make you a good drummer. If anything, it makes you more sloppy cause you're trying too hard to keep up with yourself. Slow down, take your time and practice the things that matter with experimenting around your kit using paradiddles, single, double, tripple stokes. Punk...

I primarily play metal and I stand by my click track. I've been using a click live for the past year (we've been together for 18 months) and now developing that by producing backing tracks. It's an art in itself playing live to a click and even more so with a backing track as in some songs, we...

To be honest dude, I don't think from what you're saying is anything more than a bunch of vocal 'ahh' harmonies following the route notes. If you want to do this yourself, sing the route notes and work out the fifth, octave etc and once they're all put together, slap a load of delay on them and...
