I'm not sure the is the best forum, but there does not seem to be a Mixer or a Yamaha forum, so here goes....(if you think this belongs elsewhere let me know). I have a very used Yamaha 02R. It works well, but it's a little noisy and the automated faders look challenged. Next week I plan to...

I'm so thrilled with the effect that I thought I'd share.... We made a few changes to our recording space. I replaced two passive Peavy PR12s/Old crappy (VERY beat up) amp with a ONE QSC K-12. Then we made 4 panels of Owens Corning 703, 4" thick (2'x4') and created a barrier around the drum kit...

I really enjoy playing my bass, and it has a pile of sentimental value, however I'm not sure I love the sound. I'd like a fuller, fatter tone. I'm considering adding a bridge pickup. Has anyone added a pickup to a stock bass? What were the results? What pickup would you recommend? I can also...

I'm hoping that someone will not only mix this, but also save and share your EQ, Comp, etc. settings. I've been recording and mixing my band's tunes for years but I've never had the opportunity to see how someone else would tackle them. We record "live", and we're pretty rough around the edges...

I've been mixing my band's recordings for a several years. Being self taught, I haven't had the opportunity to learn from someone more experienced and I was hoping someone might be interested in passing on a little guidance. I'm interested to know how someone else would EQ tracks that I've EQ'd...

I'm hoping to get a little experienced advice. I'd like to know what an experienced mixer would do with one of our vocal tracks. Please let me know if you have a few minutes and you're interested in helping me grow. I'll send you the file. I'm hesitant to post the track here as I'm hoping to...

We have a bunch of tunes recorded and mixed in various locations that we're using as an "album". I'm content with the individual mixes but I'd like the "album" to have some consistency. I'm using Sonar X2 Producer, is there a tool that will at least match levels? I'm hoping to avoid adding too...

Ok, here's a few tracks; Here's the raw bass track. RAW BASS Here's the bass solo in the mix. BASS MIX SOLO If someone with more awesomeness than me wants to show me what they'd do with the bass track, I'd be mighty appreciative. And here's the mix without bass. I'm not hearing the boomyness...

A few years ago we started a band. We’re up to 40ish original tunes. We’ve slowly been investing in recording gear and I’ve been slowly learning to mix. A few months ago we took a random opportunity to record a few tunes on a theater stage. I’ve been working with the mix and I’m not sure I know...

Ok folks, I'm in the thick of mixing a session my band recorded a week ago. I'm using Sonar X2. I've gone through each channel and EQ'd and compressed as I felt necessary and I'm happy with the tone of each instrument. I have a rough mix, but I'm now to the point of wanting to automate the...

I was hoping to make a poll, but I'm not savoy enough to pull it off. Do you compress an EQ'd signal or EQ a compressed signal (assuming you're both compressing and EQing a signal)?

Thanks to everyone who gave me tips for my 1st ‘Live’ recording session, I’ve noted them all. (For those just joining, I’m using Sonar X2 and a Tascam-1641 to record a blues-rock band in a live (but audience-free) setting. So, now I’ve got 14 tracks of live session. Ok, I won’t have them for...

My last plea for help was very successful, and I get paid by the hour, so I thought I’d open this one up to the floor. In a couple weeks my grown-up, garage, blues-rock band will be recording in a 1,400 seat theater. We’ll have no audience and we’ll be recording/engineering all by ourselves...

Hi! Help! I usually use Calkwalk X2 for editing, not recording (I record on a Tascam DP24), however my band has an opportunity to record in a beautiful theater, so wanted to step up our game. I found us a used Tascam-1641 16ch interface so I can record 16 (14 actually as I learned) tracks, but...

I'm looking for a compressor/limiter for bass guitar for around $80. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Someone needs to start a business of driving a truck full of mics to people studios, giving them the opportunity to try the mic before they pick one. In the meantime, I'd love some suggestions..... I have a gritty rock band, we record 'live' and we're looking to possibly upgrade a few mics...

Thanks to a few upcoming gigs, my band has decided to look into upgrading our hardware. I feel like our needs are fairly unique (just like everyone else) so I'd like some advice. Currently, we're using a Yamaha 02R (got it used from a friend) and a Tascam DP-24. Between the two of them, I've...

I record my band bring the tracks back here to mix them in X2. I record 8 tracks (vocal, harp, guitar, bass, kick, snare, OH1, and OH2). I'm hoping to create a template, but not just a template, a total template in X2 to save time setting up my session. Right now I have a template that I open...

Years ago I was 'helping' a pro audio team set up for a festival. They were using a huge, bazillion band crossover and rolling individual frequencies out to reduce/eliminate feedback etc as part of the normal set up....long before the performer came out to sound check. At the time I was very...
