    Bluebird EQ help needed.

    Looks like it already has a boost in the upper mids. What mics are you comparing this to? What preamp/mixer/interface are you using?

    Vocal mixing question

    So my friend got an AKGC414 XLS and it's a really great mic - clean, great tone, but I'm having issues with mixing it. It sounds (to me) too forward and "obvious" - not volume but presence. I want it to sit better in the mix where it's level, audible but less present. You can hear the mic in...

    Video of 2015 Standard and Deluxe

    Interesting video. Summary - the G Force is not very good and the neck is too wide but the fit and finish is still great (which I found on my LP too - they are well finished)

    Too much gain

    I've been fiddling around with my LPC (new) and my JCM900 (old). I find that the high gain channel is really distorted with my new guitar as compared to my Strat/Kramer. It's not just a little distorted it's really distorted. I've turned the preamp to 9 oclock to get a nicer tone - not bad. I...

    Drum mixing question

    I'm mixing some drums into a new song and the snare has a lot of resonance/ring in it. It almost sounding like 60 cycle hum from an amp when I started mixing if that makes sense. It's coming through on every mic but especially the snare mics (top/bottom) and the overheads. So I put a gate on the...

    Mic Pre amp / Compressor - benefit to simple studio?

    Here's a couple of old files I recorded - just short vocal clips. First file is Sputnik direct to USB interface. Second file is Sputnik through UA LA610 MKII to interface. You can hear the difference the pre makes in the overall sound. Judge for yourself.

    Overtime Remix

    Hamilton Steele - Overtime I thought I would pull up this old tune and try and remix it using all the new software and mixing "skills" I have acquired since I wrote it. It took a few hours and everything had to be rebalanced and eq'd since I'd done so little when I mixed it originally. Funny...

    CPU use in Sonar X3

    Was having lots of dropouts/stuttering when mixing recent projects so did some research. Using lots of Plugins is the culprit, my laptop is a Quad Core AMD. See the differences between CPU usage between the three songs. Modern Lost Angel/Pantheon only on YGWIT, about 10 Sonar/Lexicon plugins...

    What nut lubricant do you use?

    My main guitar for the past thirty years has been a Kramer which has a locking nut. No nut issues ever and stays in tune no problem. It needs no lube obviously. I also have a Strat which I lube with cork grease - I've had the same tube for thirty years too lol. The Strat also has no tuning...

    Distance from Condensor Mic

    I'd like to hear what distance you put between you and a condenser mic when you record vocals (yours or somebody else's). I'd like to know how distance from the mic affects the tone/sound of the voice - based on your experience. If you can give me the distance and the type of mic and why you...

    Outside Looking In

    Edit - new mix today (Aug 16) using individual drum tracks. This is the first time I mixed drum tracks - usually I use the stereo drum track Jason send us. Seems ok to my ears but would be great if you could listen and tell me what you think of my newbie drum mix. Same link below I just replaced...

    NGD Gibson Content

    My new 2014 Gibson Les Paul Custom. I'll post a song shortly in the clinic with a song we recorded with it. Didn't take too long to get comfortable playing it. It is strung with 10-46 which takes a bit more strength to bend that B string up a whole tone. It's probably 10 lbs but is comfortable...
