My experience is with a rock band type situation. I'm curious what everyone does when recording. Lets say you're recording the guitar track, do you try and do the Whole song in one take, or do you just do it section by section (of the song)? I personally do section by section, a lot easier to...

So I'm going to make a DIY SCXD footswitch. I have the schematic, but it's not making much sense to me. Here's the schematic. I think the schematic has a symbol that isn't correct. The Triangle with the line at the tip (there are 4 of them on the left side of the schematic). As I understand...

I want to learn basically everything I can about them. Anyone know of a site to get me going in the right direction? How do they manipulate the sound? What's the differences in capsules? How are they made? etc. etc. etc.... Anyone know of anything? Thanks. -Elliot

So in another thread it was brought to my attention that I basically won't be able to find a 5 lug 13" tom ring for my tom. So I'm wondering if I could just either A: make my own ring (doesn't have to be nice at all) or B: basically just tape a resonator head on there. If I did tape a resonator...

I can't find one anywhere. Anyone better at searching than I am? I'm in the U.S. if that helps, so no UK sites, unless shipping is free, ha. Price isn't too much of a factor, the cheaper the better. But as of now I can't find Anything. Thanks guys.

Anyone have any idea? I was thinking like 5 digi 002/003's. But otherwise I have no idea. Please don't just be like "pro-tools sucks, use [fill in blank" I'm just curious about pro-tools. I most likely wouldn't go with HD, due to the outrageous pricing. Probably Pro-tools LE or something...

So I'm curious. I know I should know this by now, and this is really a Newb question, but yeah. So lets say I have a bunch of compressors and some reverb units and some eq's as well and then some preamps/ I have all those that I want to hook into my mixer. How do I go about doing that? Do...

So I've always played on rosewood and am sort of scared to get a guitar with anything else because I think I might not like it. Are there any major differences? In terms of playing, not really physical differences. Thanks for the help guys. (and gals?)

So Xaviere has new guitars up for sale at guitarfetish. Man it's tempting to spend away some money on one of those. I've heard great things about Xaviere.

I'm not sure if I should even bother at all. The songs sound pretty good as it is, I just wonder if compressing might make it even tighter sounding at all. I will be mastering it myself. And by mastering, I basically mean making all the songs the same level and such. Thanks for your...

So when mixing on my daw in Cubase I get my songs to sound powerful and fantastic. And when I export it and listen to it in .wav format on iTunes it just doesn't have that extra oompf. If that makes any sense. It's not because of the volume level either, I've cranked it in iTunes and it still...

Lets say a pro is doing a live recording of a band and needs like some 24 inputs or something. What interfaces would they use? Would they just use like a Digi 002 with a bunch of preamps added on via AD/At? Just curious. Thanks.

I am extremely proud of this song, more than any other ones I've written. Have a listen, if you would. Comments and criticism are strongly encouraged, especially in terms of recording quality. Thanks guys. (and ladies) -Elliot www.myspace.com/freakerswithspeakers song is called "My...

So I'm using a Firewire mixer. The mixer doesn't record whatever is plugged into the Aux channels, so I can't use an Equalizer and such that I have in my studio. Is there a like 8-channel rackmount item that will be placed between the mics and the mixer in terms of chain, and that will allow me...

So I've just been using compressors via VST plug-ins. I use compression on almost every track. The more plug-ins I use the more it lags so I figure I can cut down on the lag by putting in compression in the recording stage. Anyone have any suggestions for a compressor? The more channels the...

Is there a way to do this? Thanks! Elliot

I want pro-tools, I can afford pro-tools. I can NOT afford the interface in order to use pro-tools. Anyone know of a way to get around this? If this is too "illegal," I'm sorry. I'll close the thread right away. I'm pretty sure we're allowed to discuss topics, just no links or anything like...

So I have a multimix 16. It works great on my Mac computer with Leopard. It works great on my crappy old computer which has windows XP. It DOES NOT work with my XP via bootcamp on my mac laptop. Anyone have any suggestions? I called Alesis and they haven't really helped at all. I updated...

I'm using Finale 2007, I have my keyboard hooked up to the computer via usb. So I have the midi working, it more or less records what I play through my piano. Is there a way to make it so it records it more accurately. Like. I think there's a way to make it so you set what the fastest beat can...

I need a snare drum, snare stand, and a hi-hat stand. I need Cheap. And I mean cheap. So far I've spent 75 bucks on bass drum and 3 toms with a couple cymbal stands. If I can help it I would like to keep it under 150 bucks total. So 75 for snare and hi-hat stand. This set is NOT for gigging...
