    First major step in new music room/studio project

    They invade pretty quickly and leave if there isn't a food supply so it may not have been empty too long.

    LUFS Question

    AFAIK these sights are going to average everything so I don't think it will make any difference.

    New exercise mixing effort

    Liking the tune> I cant really hear much in the way of ambience (reverbs, short delays) which to my ears makes it sound very "in the box" rather than a band playing together. Also to my ears there are too many elements competing in the 2-5 k mids, which is what I believe may be why you have...

    Recording Jam sessions

    Too many possible permutations and you will have to experiment to find the best option. I would put one condenser on the drums, one in front of the band aimed at the guitar amp, one dynamic on the bass amp and the last for vocal. Better would be to split the bass out and DI it, dynamic on...

    Latest gear issue - mixer

    De oxit speaker outs, gain knobs and sliders and hope for the best. I have a 1604 I bought new ~ 2000 and some of the gain pots started getting resistance and noise issues from sitting in one spot for so long since I use it in my home setup as a patcher and speaker/amp selector. Some stuff you...

    First major step in new music room/studio project

    It's a "skip" over there isn't it Rob? The price of lumber in the states has gone down a little but its expected to go down more in the next 6-12 months. So demo now build out later seems to be the best solution

    New acoustic - Larrivee

    Ovation guitars hurt my ears. I have several different acoustics and they all sound different and record differently. I just recently hit my local GC and did my usual troll through the guitars. Played high dollar Martins, Gibsons etc , and when I played a base model Yamaha I was immediately...

    Hello! I'm working on the mixes of my band's COVID album and I'm struggling to get the low end right

    In order to translate from system effectively you need to know where your monitors are lacking which comes down to using reference mix tracks and/or some kind of room correction. IMO the easiest solution is to import wav files of songs that are similar genre into your mixes so that you can...

    New acoustic - Larrivee

    You did it the right way IMO-play a bunch and find one you really like.

    New Guitar Day

    I am a bit of an Ibanez collector and I happen to have one of those in candy blue. Nicely done guitars, and I haven't modded mine at all.

    Mics and Preamps.....Guitars and Guitar amps...

    I spent the money on a factory refurb Telefunken Ak47 MKii and the thing is, it doesn't magically change the source, it is to my ears faithful to the source more than any of my other mics. Which makes it a problem in crap rooms or with crap instruments(unless that's what you are going for) and...

    Mics and Preamps.....Guitars and Guitar amps...

    I have always felt that mic's are way more a part of the sound than preamps. Justin Colleti just posted a video pointing out the same thing:

    Admittedly, I did non scientific testing, thus: I wanted to know which mic sounded best for recording a small guitar amp and stuck all three 219's as well as my 319 in the same spot and recorded them playing approx the same riff. The 319 eventually had to be pulled back 8-10 inches from where...

    Realistically speaking, how many microphones minimum to record a 5-piece acoustic drum kit ?

    I would recommend starting with one of the many available drum mic "prepacks" usually containing ~4-7 mics geared toward recording drums. Some of these sets are very good, depending on price of course. As you gain experience you can add more specialty mics like getting Sennheisers for the toms...

    Taking PT 101

    Ah, well, I've been making my own custom templates since PT 5 so I was looking at tricks to speed up workflow, especially editing shortcuts.

    Taking PT 101

    I opted to fine Michael Whites Pro tools course (used) on amazon. Cheap and quick.

    For a different perspective: I have , dunno 30 odd mics, mostly chinese(~ 20 MXL), with a few higher price specialties , and among my well liked are three MK219's and none of them sounds the same. Similar , yes. The same, no.

    Overhead for mono drums?

    I have an AT 3035 as a single overhead behind the drum throne over the drummers head pointed at the juncture between the snare and kick and I have found it gives a very good sound of the kit as a whole. I am actually using a mulit mic setup using ~10 mics, but I have used just the AT with a...

    Seeking advice/tips/help

    Do you have a high pass filter on the guitar tracks? If not I would throw one on and bring it up to 150-200 Hz and see if that doesn't manage that low thump
