last kick drum I recorded sucked bad. :mad: Any tips on recording the kick drum as far a mic to use/placement and any specific compression settings? My choices of mic are: Shure SM57 Peavey PVM 580TN AKG D790 Oktava MK-219

OK here's something. Name is Polly Ethelline. It's a bit of a departure. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/alternative/rats/ Let me know what you think, it's an experiment.

What is it? Why does it happen? How do you deal with it? What will it do to your recording? Here is a screen print of some DC offset in my mix... should I be worried or is this nothing? I can't hear anything wrong really...

I don't know how this keeps happening but I keep getting two track readings (L/R?) for tracks in my waveform displays! Is there a way to toggle back to a single track view?

Check out this shot of my kick drum track. This is what it looks like after a half hour or so of EQing and dynamics processing trying to fatten it up. The wave kind of hangs to the right (like my johnson). I believe the term to describe this phenomenon is DC offset? Does cool edit have a...

I'm in the middle of my first REAL official cool edit session. I've done my experiments, the band finished the studio in the basement and now we are working on recoding our songs. I'm on my 20th track, but have way over a hundred .wav files for this song alone. Most are due to overdubs and...

Every now and then you run across a gem in this forum. I have a hard time keeping up with it because of all the new stuff flying around in here and after a few bouts with some not-so-great downloads and stuff. But there have been some great ones! What have your favorites been? :eek: Here's a...

I was drunk and fucking around last weekend and now I can't figure out what I did, so maybe one of youse dudes can enlighten my sorry ass. I'm using SB Live, and can't record through my line in for some reason. I just get a steady flat line on my wave-o-meter with an occasional spike when I...

I'm relatively new to the arena of PC recordings, but I've got a few full-on cooledit pro recordings under my belt now. I've been through the process, and I do agree it's pretty fucking cool. My tests runs have been somewhat limited, just trying t get through all the way to mixdown, so I may...

I reinstalled CE Pro on Windows 2000 Pro after I formated my hard drive, now I can't get jack shit to work right. This is my latest brain cramp, can anyone shine a light on me?

Finally being a dad has really paid off and I got me a phat MG100RCD amp for father's day!:D Only trouble is that I don't have a speaker cab to plug it in to to hear how it sounds. I've played through the JCMs and absolutely love them, but I'm not sure how the solid state will compare to...

I'm not sure if this will work, please bear with me and my testicle difficulties. I've got a new song mixed down, but I'm so way not into the MP3.com wait I posted at Idrive at this link?..>>>> https://www.idrive.com/rats/files/Shared/ file name: Gray Cookies and Doughnuts for the Cat and...

Same problem as the "volume jumps at 1:55" thread. I've got spikes all over the place, and I want to try to go in and envelope the spike, and fix each one, but I'm not up on the process. The problem is that I record without any external compressor/limiter, or if I do use compression, it's my...

look at the picture... what would be the best way to solve this? Compression? If so, is there a preset here that would do the trick?

Are there any of you out there using Cool Edit Pro with SB Live? This is what I 'm using, and basically nothing else. I'm noodling with my first attempts on this system... Most of my recording will initially be done either running direct (using a Tascam Porta07 as a mixer) or miking via an...

What's a guy to do? I've got 1 little line out....and I don't want to get into an expensive headphone mixer/ amp. I called Guitar Center to ask Pro audio what they've got and the dork told me the first thing I need to do is upgrade my sound card. Well I eventually will, but for now I need a...

Does cooledit pro come with a manual, or are you supposed to rely on the help menu? The help seems to basically suck. There are problems I've run into that I've been able to solve by posting my questions here that I never would have figured out with the help of that stupid help. I can't...

I need some samples of nature sounds like animals, birds, insects, wind, rainforests, water, misterqcue's wheezing after eating a gelatin-coated horse jerky, etc. Any free software or downloadable crap would suit me just fine if you were to know the whereabouts. Thanks.

Is Roland really that bad? I've played a few Roland combos that rock, and seem to have a pretty cool sound. I especially liked the one with the tremolo feature, but I've never owned one. I'm not asking for too much, but I have a few requirements: 2 channels that can be switched between by a...

Huh?
