Hey guys, it's been a long time since I posted last. School kept me pretty busy. Anyway, I need some help mixing some drums. I'm doing some live concert mixing for this band and I have a HUGE problem. The Recording setup at the concert blew chunks. The guy had a single NT4 (fixed XY Stereo...

Hey guys, It's been a while since I've posted but I just recorded this cover song last night and I'm pretty excited about it.. I haven't done anything musically in a while and, well, this was kindof a renaissance for me. Hopefully it will help to lift my spirits.. my life's changing and I hope...

Hi guys. It's ZPphreak here.. I've finally brought to the forum what I think might just be admissible as a "Final" track... My first!!! WOO!HOO! I'm not much of a musician and much less a writer so I am primarilly an engineer. ( Or at least I pretend to be one on the internet :D) I submit for...

I just recorded this Vocal track over a kareoke track I found of the Edwin McCain song "I'll Be" . I did this to show a prospective client what her vocal might sound like overdubbed onto some kareoke tracks she wants to work on for a demo of her own. The point is.. I'm trying to figure out what...

Hi Fellas, I haven't been in the forums for a while because I've been working on building up my gear stash to help me learn. Anyway, I just got my hands on a Beyerdynamic M422 N(C) microphone. I'm not sure of it's age but it's been in it's carrying bag for a while. I'm guessing it's a...

Hi All.. I've been screwing around with this Roland VS-880 VXpanded machine for a while now.. I put a large disc in and maxed it out now I'm getting to a point where I need to know more about it. My Model supports 1GB partitions and I have 4 GB available total on this machine. My main concern...

Hello all, I am dipping into the realm of Amp micing as of now. I have never mic'ed a guitar cab and I'm kinda excited. Here's what I have: a 1974 Fender Bassman Ten. The 4, 10" Original Bass speakers were replaced with Eminence Loudspeakers before I bought the Amplifier. The man who owned it...

Hey guys, I thought I'd do something "productive" since I was staying up late anywhoo.. Well, I really ain't that great of a guitarist.. and I don't have any stomp boxes.. and I really don't have room to hook my amp up for micing.. (not at 3 AM at least)maybe another day... But I really wanted...

Mixing delima.. 2 hrs in mixing.. stumped Ok guys, I've got a delimma. I've been mixing this song for what's going on 2 straight hours... it was already partially mixed... I did a little editing.. some panning and diddled with some volume envelopes.. changed out some FX and I'm still stumped...

Ok guys, I'm aware that this time I'm going under the gun.. Here's what I have for the Clinic: I recorded a Korean Children's Choir at a Church for a CD that the director wanted to make. The songs were mixed with the input of the director. He preferred a rather high level of reverb... not...

Sorry for posting about this again.. I know that other's have discussed similar topics recently even... I just couldn't find any threads with my particular setup in it. I'm using SONAR 2.0 XL, for those who will probably need that info. My DAW is the Roland VS-880 with the VXPanded option...

Okay, I've been reading the forum for a while and scouring. I need to find out what people are using to mic harmonicas in general. I know that the Shure 520 has been "THE" Blues mic for a while.. or at least they have been the ones with the most face time on the reviews. Shure's newer version is...

I've been reading and thinking about what to make my control window out of. I'm pretty sure I want it to be double pane instead of triple pane (for cost reasons) I've got lots of great ideas about how to make the frame for the window but I'm more concerned about what kind of glass to use. I will...

Okay, I had heard that they might do a good job on choral recording. I recorded this earlier today at my Old Highschool. Here's my setup: I used a pair of the ECM8000's on boom stands about 10' up and 25' apart. They were positioned about 5 ft in front of the choir which sat about 35' wide in...
