Now this might belong better in the newbie section, but I'm currently mixing down some full band 'live' takes. I'm pretty happy with the performances, although I'm overdubbing the odd vocal, but there's still some magic lacking in the final product. On one track I re-amped the vocal through a...

We recorded a bunch of songs live in my studio at the start of the week. I'm trying to mix down with hit & miss results. I'm deliberately looking for a certain rough & ready quality - but there's a difference between 'raw' and 'poorly mixed' and I'm not quite sure which side of the line I'm...

Everything I have tells me to use a pair of identical condensers as drum overheads, but I just wondered why? I was hoping to track some drums this evening and I don't have a matching pair of condensors, so should I use matching dynamics? One condensor and one dynamic? Or should I just live...

We did a live acoustic session at a local radio station. I'd like to do something with the results, but I'm not sure how to get the best of the tracks. It was engineered live in the studio to a live broadcast so all they've sent me is a two hour stereo track of the whole thing, that I can cut...

Not sure whether this is best here or in the computer recording section. Has anyone found any VST amp simulators that actually sound good? Before everyone tells me to mic up my amp - I'm just looking feed an electric straight into my interface to get some song ideas demoed without annoying...

Does anyone still bother with collecting addresses at gigs? I've started recently, but I'm struggling to work out how to manage the list. The database software that shipped with my PC seems a bit rubbish - not allowing you to print address labels and all of that. Just wondered if anyone here...

I'm pretty happy with the sound of the individual tracks but getting the mix right is proving something something of a chore...so bash away.

Hi all. I've been happily using an Alesis IO2 with the bundled version of CubaseLE for three or four years and this afternoon it's suddenly given up for no reason. There's no sound going into or out of it, and all the db meters have lit up red and stay that way regardless of how any of the...

I apologise if this is a rookie question but a friend of mine a blues forum directed me here as somewhere that could more usefully help with this.... The PC I cobbled together from old parts that I had been using for recording has just died...but it was never really stable enough anyhow...
