So here's a brief discussion from 2011 that is similar to my issue: So, I might have to go get some meters and what not. I don't know anything about measuring ohms and all that. But this guy seems to have corrected the shielding basically and he had success. If anyone can kind of interpret...

No it's not that, there's no raking of the string. So you think all those clicks are acceptable and normal?

Ha! Well, yeah this is DI bass so no bugs around the speaker cone. Hard to say that's definitely the cause because I've done it where no part of my picking hand touches anything on the bass at all and the electric clicks still come. Shielding issues in general...personally I think you're onto...

Hi, I've searched a lot for a solution but can't really even find anything online that matches what I'm getting so... DI bass...Fender P bass (made in Mexico about 3 years old in great shape) into my RME Fireface...sounds great but in certain situations (especially when playing lines or runs...

Thanks everyone. I do have one of those Boss Katanas too. Yep, my room is pretty bad...but there's a lot of stuff in there to deaden it. Lots of thick stuff, bookshelves etc to break up the uniformity of reflections etc. It's not the worst, not the best. Have tried Amp sims and all that. I don't...

Hi, anyone got a favourite affordable acoustic guitar for home studio recording? And also...an amp for the spare bedroom recorder of electric guitar. I'm in a boxy room, quite deadish...but nothing good about it really. I work around it by using eq on the preamps I have that have eq (Daking...

I think Neil went stark raving mad recently so just do it, as the kids say.

Professional studios don't settle for tracks that are really muddy and boomy plus being really sharp and brittle in the high end do they? If you were the recording engineer and you dished up tracks like that you'd be sacked wouldn't you? I need to somehow stop recording such tracks in my 8x9ft...

Is it the clarity or fidelity of digital recording that makes everything harsh? With all the un-lost high end? My stock standard recording footprint is pretty much excessive boominess and mud with stabby, harsh, brittle, ear piercing high end frequency. All at the same time. I'm sure...

So maybe that's an arrangement thing/ issue, yeah? Not sure what kind of guitar you have there...an acoustic or electric or whatever. But you know strings can tend to be rich in the high mid to high frequencies and harpsichord is probably pretty strident isn't it? Then you've got a guitar...

Me? When I put em right on the channel they are meant for I set them to whatever wet % I think is right. You know like 8% or whatever the case may be. When I used to do sends from the vocal channel to the send FX then they'd be 100% wet and I'd adjust the send level to impart the reverb. I just...

I started to put all the reverb and delay etc on the channel instead of sending the channel to a reverb/ delay FX kind of channel because I got sick of, for example, having the vocal level set...then when I would use a send from the vocal over to the reverb FX channel, the vocal level would go...

I've tried it. But go by DAW levels. I think you know like -12db on the DAW fader...that's where I want to try to have my tracks peaking when recording. Not sure I look at the fader levels much when mixing except for the drum bus which I seem to be getting like -8db peaks with an average level...

Here's the same song, 2 different mixes. One is with SoundID & CanOpener. The other one marked VSX is the VSX one. Not claiming they are sensational, awesome mixes. Just that the VSX one is more clear. The SoundID one is more woolly or too much verb on the voice or just lacks the kind of...

These are probably the best mixes I've done. They are the ones where I started using the SoundID/ Goodhertz Can Opener combo. When I got VSX though, I could really hear a lot of issues. Mixes seemed veiled or lacked clarity among lots of other stuff. I've nearly finished my first re-mix of a...

That recording sounds pretty good and it's nicely played. I like that bluegrass trad kind of thing. I think that kind of single line lick playing though not without issues, is more doable in a subpar room. It's really (for me anyway) when you want to strum that overtone and resonant snafus come...

Sounds like a plan. Will give it a go. Thanks

Hey Dave, the bigger living room space is a pretty open floor plan with general dimensions of 14.7x15.7ft and a ceiling around 7.8ft. So it's happily much bigger. I have tried recording acoustic guitars out there and vocals too. But not with much tenacity. I tried a couple of times without much...

Boxy sounding. You got that right. The absolute worst to record in there is acoustic guitar. I think I can get passable home studio recordings of vocals, amps and little bits of percussion...but acoustic guitar is diabolical in there. In terms of space, yeah I've sacrificed quite a bit with my...

You guys reckon an 8.8x9.1foot spare bedroom with timber floors is too small for a tracking and mixing room?
