For use on drums. I've finally acquired enough mics to get rid of the 57 when tracking drums and I tell ya, I'm not missing them at all. I know they are decent and alot of it is probably my fault. But, they really add a type of crap to a drum mix. Especially when you use 2 or 3 of them. Not...

My band has been in the studio writting the past couple of weeks and I record everthing. I'm using 3 mics on the drums, 1 kick, 1 snare and 1 LDC overhead. Everything is panned dead center and yet, to my ears there is a certain width to them that I don't understand. The drums sound almost...

To help control bleed when close micing drums? I don't currently have any and have never used one as I am still kind of a newbie. I'd like to get a little tighter close mic sound than I'm getting currently. I've been using SM57's and MD421's and there is a bit too much bleed. Any...

Has anyone used one of these? http://www.tensimount.com/ They are cheap enough, I just wonder if they work well. I'd like to get enough to do a drum kit with. I think it would make a big difference if I could get rid of most of the stand noise.

This is the same guys as The Truth song I posted. It's called Pro Choice. It's pretty heavy. Have a listen and comment if ya like. This is my first mix of this tune. Oh, please disregard the auto-tuned vocals. http://www.garagerecording.com/audio/prochoice.mp3

I'm going to get this for my Christmas present. Anyone have one? Comments good or bad.

Here's a new tune. This is the first mix of it. I've already heard a couple things wrong like the guitar on the right is a little louder than the left side guitar. I need to remove the compression from the overheads to I think. http://www.garagerecording.com/audio/truth.mp3

or bad decision? I'm recording an album's worth of material for a local band. It's coming out really well but there are a couple of things that I would do differently now that most of the tracking is done and I can hear all the tracks together. Maybe different mic choice for certain vocal...

I record on a HD24 and mix through a Sountracs console into my PC using a Delta1010/Wavelab. I have the master buss fader on the console at unity and the meters are just touching 0db occasionally. The peak of the mix is pretty low, around -18db. Is this too low? I can use L2 limiter and get...

I don't know what happend. I turned on cause I have a session today and it looks like its playing, the meters are moving but the is no output. Tape ins on board are functioning as I checked them, The cables are good. What the hell. I have a guy waiting to do some guitart tracks. This...

I'd like to get some tracking comments on this tune. It doesn't have vocals yet but that is usually easy for me. What I'm concerned with most are the drums. I want to identify any problems while re-tracking is still an option. Thanks Here's the tune Eye of the storm.

I just put new Celestion Vintage 30's in my cab and wonder if they need "Broken In" somehow? All these years and I've never bought new speakers.

I guess this will be a multi part question on soffit mounting my monitors. I have so far been mostly concerned about treating my recording and monitoring environment over buying tons of really cool gear. I think it has been a good choice because every time I add treatments/modifications to the...

So how much difference in level can there be before there would be problems? I did a live show and there is clearly a difference. But if I adjust the balance, it seems to lose some of it's imaging.

I don't know what the hell is going on. I downloaded this the other day and placed it on my desktop. I ran it, now I'm trying to delete it. It say's the file is being used and can't delete it. What the f!@# It is not being used. Rebooting hasn't help either. Neither has shuting down all...

I recorded my bands live show last Saturday. I came out pretty good and now I want to transfer it to PC. I don't have the fireport yet so I need to do it via FTP. Problem is, it keeps locking up the HD24. It will transfer a file then the next one will stop somewhere in the middle. I can't...

Well, have a look. It's almost finished, but you'll get the general idea. http://www.garagerecording.com/

Oh, freakin yea! :) I hope this thing is as awesome as everyone says. I just got 2 MD421s too because they are so highly regarded. Man, they kick ass. I just had to brag a little. Sorry

Just bought a pair of these. I hope they are as great as everyone says.:D Seller claims they are a matched pair based on them having sequential serial numbers. I don't know if that makes them a "Matched Pair" or not. But is cool nonetheless.

Here is the last song in the Ralston demo I recorded. I don't like this song as much as the other 2 I posted. I did try something different on the snare this time. Pulled the mic back to get more snares/shell sound. I'm sad to be done. This was a fun project. I hope there will be more...
