This is just a 30 second thing I threw together. My band has been playing covers (nearly 60 of them now) and we are looking to originals, so I mucked around on my drums and my brother's bass and came up with this. And for fun I chucked in a Monty Python clip to go with it, which turns out pretty...

I recently bought an old AudioPro board off someone. It's a nice board and the pre's seem pretty clean to me. But I'm trying to record my drums right now. I have a Shure PG48 as an overhead, and a RadioShack mic for my kick and RadioShack mic for my snare. The sound sucks ass, obviously they are...

Okay, my step-cousin or whatever is selling some equipment 'cause he needs the cash and one of the things is a 16 channel mixing board. Now, I have a Behringer 802a, but I'd like some more tracks to work with, so I could like hook up the 2 mixers. Now, I haven't gone to see this board yet, I...

In "pro" studios, I notice they just use faders to get all the levels for the songs and such. Now since I'm only 16 and jobless I don't have much money so all my mixing is done on Cool Edit. I assume for working with computers you run each channel from a direct out and are there direct...

I was just recording my band's cover of Magic Carpet Ride for the second time. I'm a little frustrated. I'm left with no clean guitar because my guitarist sucks at the clean part so now all I have left is this distortion guitar for it. But, ANYWAY, the vocals seem a tad off, but I need someone...

I have some school assignment about a certain career, well I picked my hobby -- recording. I know a few people on here who do this sort of stuff pro (like recording engineer/producer, whatever) so I was wondering if anyone would be nice enough to give me some insight on... Education...

A few months ago I posted like a 30 second test of my cover of Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. Well today I had my guitarist over so I recorded the drum track, and since he had a better amp than what I had used before he recorded the 2 guitar tracks and I laid down the bass. I will not be...

Okay, I don't record that much because my equipment isn't the greatest. I'll do a quick run through: Behringer 802 mixer and a Shure PG48 mic and 2 Radio Shack mics *shudder*. Bass is direct. So I did this rough mix of a song called Highly Evolved by The Vines because, well, I like the song and...

My friend just bought a BOSS Metal Zone pedal and we're playing, but when he turns on the pedal to kick on the distortion we get all sorts of horrible feedback. We used to get feedback but now with this pedal it's horrible. We are using a cheap Squier amp and am not sure if that's the cause. My...

I was looking for what I could use on some things on my mixer to fill the empty inputs and outputs. I sometimes drum to music from my mixer, but figured I could run it in the tape-in on my mixer and play from there. Well, I made it work, 'cept it sounds like crap. The mixer is not the greatest...

I was going to play at a small party at a friends house last night but her parents wouldn't of appreciated all the noise so we (some friends and myself) couldn't. So it got me thinking what the heck I was to do vocals. When I'm at home, my mixer runs into a receiver, which is hooked up to...

I have 3 computers in my place and my dad has a 24-bit soundcard, though I don't use that computer to record. But anyway, if I do happen to record on there in 24-bit (32 whatever) when I save it, it forces me to turn it into a 16-bit file. So when it's opened again it's just a 16-bit. Help? Thanks.

Can someone explain to me about phasing? I've seen things like, use a top and bottom snare mic, but reverse the phase, phasing problems, etc. What exactly is it?

Hey...I just have to rant. Me and a buddy were hanging out and jamming a bit today and we did a bit of Stairway To Heaven and might be playing it at this concert at our high school. So anyway, I was talking to another friend of mine I regularly jam with and he is a real bland straight head music...

I just started noticing most drum packs sell a snare, kick and 2 tom mics. I have a Behringer Eurorack804, so 4 mic inputs. I'd prefer to have a kick, snare and 2 overheads, I'd need to buy more preamps for toms and stuff. Is it possible to buy just the kick, snare 2 O/H's in a pack? I'm not...

Sorryt his isn't really recording based, but your the only board that would give me a mature reply. I have some friend who claims you could get fined if you don't have a license to "gig". I gigged once at a mall and I've never heard of such bullcrap in my life, but he believes everything our...

I'm taking a course in my high school that deals w/ video recording etc. Anyway, the other day I was in little radio room they have, full of old equipment and a crappy RadioShack mic with the grille top popped off. My teacher was explaining how to get a good level so your not in the mud, or not...

What do you guys think of Mission speakers? They are based out of Britain I believe, and I have a pair. Just curious, later.

I have a Behringer Eurorack802, and only 3 mics, etc etc. But my point is, say I have all the mics I want, I'm just curious as to how you'd set it up. Basically I have 4 mic inputs and 2 stereo tracks. I can set overheads, snare and kick in the mic inputs but could I use the stereo tracks for...

This isn't really recording based but I'm hitting my head against a brick wall with this. I have a guitar sitting at my place from a friend, he just leaves it here. Well, I have another good friend of mine come over and we jam, and the guy uses the guitar that's there. He's busted the thick E...
