New Mics Day!!!! Can't wait to record something with these babies - think it might be the Pixies' "Where is my Mind". :)

Ok, so the story is this; I have two serviceable Chord condenser (hand-held) vocal mics that I'm using for vocals and drum overheads. I'm getting very good results with them. However, to make better vocal recordings, I have been saving to buy the new Rode NT-1 as it comes highly recommended...

This track is virtually completed, but for the lack of lead vocals, so apart from your welcome criticisms, I'd like to know if any potential Thom Yorkes are interested in helping me finish off the project? I just can't hit the notes. :( My son: Drums, percussion, electric piano, string synth...

I've recorded in this room before, but have always been unhappy with the sound, especially the drum kit, so during this last week I've been doing something about it. I ripped out the old carpet flooring, installed some laminate flooring and painted the place out, then ordered some acoustic foam...

Hi, everybody. I'm starting to convert part of my house into a better recording space. Our living room is 19' 6'' (L) x 12' (W) x 9' (H). It has a varnished Pitch-Pine floor. I think these are great dimensions; it would make an awesome recording space. It also has a small extension behind it...

Ok, this is a project I started about two years ago. Well actually, I recorded the drums and bass at the end of a session doing something else, two years ago. :D I promptly forgot about it until two months ago when I was deleting songs off my multitracker, listened to it again and decided it was...

I'm very pleased with this live mix, but two things make me unhappy with it. 1. There are peaks on the vocal track printed to the sound file. 2. The bass was D.I.d. It has a fair tone, but there is that nasty "honk" on the attack of the top strings. My question is, are there any plugins, or...

This is a great, neglected punk classic. I make no apologies for posting it here. Except that my backing vocals are a bit out of tune. Blame the shite monitors. :D

:D This was the last song of the set, warts and all - a few mistakes and singer losing his voice. But is my mixing any better?

My punk band The Shambollix played this gig a couple of weeks ago and the chap on the sound desk told us afterwards he'd recorded the whole gig to multitrack. Unfortunately for us he had gates on some of the tracks and they weren't set up right. The kick drum is all over the place and our...

"Lifeline (Yellow Allegro Man)" - complete re-record, live drums Hi, I've finally completed the re-recording of my demo that I posted up a couple of weeks ago. I always intended to record it with real drums and this my best attempt at it. I tried to take on board all the advice I got on my...

https://soundcloud.com/bubba_po/israel-siouxsie-and-the Hi, I recorded this song last year. I'm playing guitars, my wife Manda is on vocals, my friend Dale is on bass and my son Frank (aged 14 at the time) is on drums. For fanboys, the guitar is a Yamaha SG 1500, played through a Marshall TSL...

The song is called "Lifeline (Yellow Allegro Man)", and is one of my few attempts to write and record something tuneful. :D Caution - may be slightly cheesy; in case you were wondering, the "Yellow Allegro" refers to a crappy British-built car that was ubiquitous in the late 1970s in England. A...

I don't play drums, but this is my boy's kit - a Tama Superstar, with the shallow "hyperdrive" toms. Snare is a Tama Artwood super maple. Cymbals are all Zildjian A or A customs.

I'm being offered it for £250 - what do you think?

Everybody knows Wayne's World and the "No Stairway.... denied!!" scene. I got to thinking "What's the new 'Stairway To Heaven'? " What is the song that's played incessantly in guitar shops such that the staff want to pick up a BC Rich or similar pointy, heavy object and bludgeon the customer to...

Ok, I have a marshall TSL 100, and it's a great amp. The only thing is, it's not working well for me in a live setting. I use a floor-standing multi-FX board which I send straight into the clean channel. I set up the crunch channel a fair bit louder and with some crunch as an occasional boost...

There - I said it. :mad:

What do you think? :(
