I've heard many good things about some Audio Technica mics, especially the 4040 and the 4050. What can anybody tell me about the 4033s? Are they good? What are they good for? I figure at this price it would probably be worth picking up, especially since it works fine (though looks worn)...

So I have a pair of Rode NT2a's that I use on everything. Mainly for drum overheads, but also for overdubbing random instruments and most especially on vocals. My band is in the process of recording a small demo. We had overdubbed vocals using my NT2a's with excellent results, so much better...

So whenever I minimize Cubase LE while it is playing, it stops playing, resuming where it left off when it becomes the active window again. I tried to find preferences to change this, but to no avail. I found a really cool monitoring program but its a seperate program and not a plug-in, and...

These are only 1st take run-throughs when we were preparing for our gig the next day, but any mixing suggestions would be great! Vocals were probably my worst part, getting the right compression and delay dialed in. Sunshine Shadows -...

So I was browsing Craigslist when I came upon a guy selling two of these for $120 ($198 for the pair brand new) and while I'm not in the market for preamps right now, especially cheaper ones like this, I did notice that he was willing to trade them for a ride cymbal. I've been trying to sell my...

This is my first completed song for my upcoming album. Mainly because it is so far different from anything else - the rest of the album is your standard fare rock music - but I wanted an avant garde-ish synth section in there as well. A little long, I might trim it down a bit. lo-fi URL...

I am making a "synth-only" track for an album I'm working on, and am using VST synths. LE is limited to only two VST instruments per session, so I figured I would record two Midi tracks and bounce them into two audio tracks, delete the midi tracks and re-record more stuff. I looked in the help...

So for my band's next gig, I thought it would be a cool idea if I brought my recording rig in and recorded ourselves. Its a pretty small venue, we've played there a week ago and all we do is mic the vocals and snare drum and bass drum through the PA and let everything else just breathe. I'm...

I'm going to be starting a project pretty soon, and something I have noticed from when I've recorded before is that while my drums sound great by themselves, when you introduce other instruments things start getting messy. My toms literally melt into music. They lack definition. Cymbals and...

So I'm beginning a recording project probably next week, and I'll probably be asking tons of questions as I go through it since this is my first album-sized project. One of the first things I'll be doing is recording an electric rhythm guitar part. This is a very basic, in the back of the mix...

So my band did an impromptu run of this song while my mics were running, having never played this song before. Sure there are plenty of hiccups, but just curious at what you guys think of the mix? lo-fi URL: http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=6239854&q=lo hi-fi URL...

So this is what I have right now: 2x RODE NT2-A's 1x AKG D112 1x Shure SM57 1x Audix i5 1x Sennheiser e609 I might be getting a much better job soon, so this might be a good idea to start investing in more mics, in the hopes that I can actually start up my studio as a business with clients...

I don't know how good of a deal this is, as I'm not familiar with analog equipment: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/msg/542716169.html I'm currently running a Presonus Firestudio setup, but for $400, assuming its not a piece of crap, its gear that's just worth having. Should I get it or not?

So anyways, I've been trying to deal with my bass drum sound. I know I put a tad bit too much muffling than I would have liked in the actual tracking, but I've heard many records where the bass is far more muffled than mine and punches through much better. My problem is that it is so buried...

So they're demos, there are little mistakes here and there, this is not a final product, so while comments about musicianship will fall of deaf ears, are there any mixing issues that I can deal with? Drive lo-fi URL: http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=5958219&q=lo hi-fi URL...

Okay, so I have the Firestudio, and it has a headphone jack on the front of it. Right now I plug in additional headphones on the line out jacks in the back, but these are mono outs so I only get sound in a single speaker. Would a headphone amp, plugged into the headphone jack, be what I need...

So I have an SM57 and an Audix i5. I'm thinking about picking up a third mic in this catagory, but I'd rather mix it up a little. I'll be using these mics for snare drums and amps. Any thoughts, a list with sound characteristics of each, perhaps?

Okay so I'm a beginner guitarist but I'm already recording entire songs and stuff. Now I want to get a good sound right off the bat and use as little post EQ as possible. Now I have read that while a nice warm fat guitar sounds great on its own, in the context of a mix it can get real muddy...

So awhile ago I posted a demo version of this song, I stretched it to 3.5 minutes in length. It needs some vocals and a real bass guitar (I used the bass patch on my keyboard and did every effect I could think of to make it sound more like a bass), but this is me playing every instrument. A...

So I've done a decent job in my garage (my "studio") where everything is fairly dry. However, I was taking a shower, started singing (luckily I was home alone) and then I really enjoyed the reverberation. Then I wondered how it would work in a recording enviornment. Has anybody actually done...
