In a few months I'll be at the stage to either add a console to my studio or go with outboard pres. Here's the thing, origionaly I was going to go with full outboard pres into my 2 echo laylas, and mix in nuendo with a Mackie D8b as a control surface. I really like the moving faders and...

All of my EQs top out at 16k, are there any that go up to 20k?

A jazz/blues band I recorded a while ago, and this is my favorite song they did. The performance isn't the absoloute best, but what do you guys think. Also I'm not totally happy with the trumpet tone, due to space I had to put the mic closer than I would have liked. I did this at the...

I totally made my own variation of a plate reverb today. I bought a 36 dollar Wood Picker transducer mic and hooked it up to one of my tympani. I actually ran it through a million diffrent things and got a ton of diffrent effects, but liked the tympani the most I think. The sample is dry...

Here's 2 songs from my good buddy's 4 song demo that I recorded last night. All comments welcome. I had a good time with my new Rode NT5's on drum overheads, they're a huge improvement over what I had before. The 2 songs are Gridlock and Nightlight. I'm quite pleased with how the recordings...

Sometime within the next year or so I'm going to get a digital mixer to be a front end for my Nuendo based DAW. What are your thoughts on the D8B? They've recently come down in price and seem like good mixers.

I know this is just a quick mix and there's a few mistakes in there, some pretty big, but I'm looking for comments on the song, what could be better, or any other production ideas. Just so you know the keys part twords the end is going to be bass part, when we get a player. Here's the link...

My band needs a logo, but we're stumped as to what I could be. If anyone here is good at making logos and could offer some help I would greatly appreciate it. Even if you have an idea as to what it could be, it would be very welcome. Our website is http://www.watersignrising.com . I just...

I just got into a new band, and I record all our practices, well anyway this is the first song we got down as a demo we can use for looking for a bassist. We'll be going into a real studio soon to cut our entire cd. What do you guys think? Also, the guit is a little out of tune, that's why...

I have this awesome chart that says where certan frequencies live, such as reduce 400Hz for cardboard sounding drums, and the like, which has proved to be invaluable in my mixing. What I'm looking for is a chart like that, but for the entire mix, so I can do a little mastering after I'm done...

I'm doing a demo for some friends of my friend. It's 2 girls, and piano. I'm planning on renting 2 - 4 channels of nice preamp, but I'm not sure on what to rent for the piano. Here's my setup, all signals will go into my laylas and get recorded on Nuendo. My mics that I already have are...

External hard drive question!! Important! I got a Maxtor 120 gig hd for xmas today, it's USB 2 just like I asked for. The only thing is it's 5400 rpm and not 7500. Is that worth shelling out a hundred more bucks to up the speed? I'm recording 24 bit audio usually in at least 9 channels at...

A little cover we did for fun the other night, no guitar solo, but still fun to play anyway. Enjoy! http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1627&alid=-1

I have 2 Echo Layla cards, and I really like them, although they are only 20/48, and have only 20 ins between both of them. I looked on ebay, and MOTUs are way cheaper than one of my laylas, and it has higher resoloution and 24 imputs to boot! Would it be smart to offload my 2 Laylas and get...

Had my band over and we improved a few songs. This one is probably my favorite out of all the ones we made. The bass could be a little louder in the very beginning, but other than that I'm really happy how it came out. Critque away...

I've gotten my hands on a nice 65 Slingerland snare and I'm completely rennovating it. That means the nasty gold sparkle wrap is coming off and I'm going to laquer it and all that. How would I go about doing this? I've searched online and can't find a thing. I'm using the water based dye...

of mic preamp for my drums! Just doing some more research, and I came across the PreSonus M80 8 Channel Mic/Line Preamp. It looks pretty good to me, and it's full of Class A pres. What do yall think of this one?

for less than 500 bucks? I'm not about to get one yet, I'm just doing a little research for now.

I would quite like to get an interface to work with Nuendo. I know there's small ones with like 5 faders and everything, but I'm looking for one with 25 or so channels. The Mackie D8B Digital 8-Buss looks pretty sweet, but it looks like it does all the recording and everything too... So...

What do you guys know about these? I've done lots of looking, but found pretty much nothing about them short of the linked site at DW's place. I'll be getting a new kit in 2-3 months, and I've decided to go with Conaway Drums so far. Unbelievable prices for monster kits, and I've only heard...
