Alright...Things are picking up and I'm really busy. I haven't had a day off in two weeks. I've got a lot of people asking me to do flat rates for them, add on a few extra hours if they can pay me up front and book a few days...and when I know they'll be easy to work with, I generally do it...

I've recorded a psychobilly band and began drum tracks for this band all in one day. I'm busy as fuck and my ears are constantly on fire. Check it out. I've messed with the kick and snare but that's about it. No samples! Good drummer! Didn't tune his snare super fucking high. In My Demise

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=10165 I'm pretty happy with the way these came out! I think it's a marked improvement in my drum sound...Still in garage, still using a Firepod, but I had stands to mic the toms instead of clips and to get the overheads over the kit rather than...

Misshapen Monsters Kids from a bit south of me. This is just a quick working mix crippled by MySpace's player, but you know. I haven't done this kind of music before.

Note that that's ska(influenced) (almost pop)punk! We need constructive criticism and some new friends on Myspace! give 'er a listen! Ship High In Transit We've been together since mid-august and we're playing our first show with a band that's played a few Warped dates and some of our...

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=9611 This was just the drummer for tomorrow's session fucking around. Everything save the kick is real. They're...Ugh...metal-something so we'll probably trigger everything using home-made samples.

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=9540 ears be tired. But how's it sound? No samples on the drums, just incase, in the unlikely event, anyone wonders.

A lot of us are dealing with subpar equipment and oftentimes abilities; I was thinking, might it be more useful when we cannot achieve a 'commercial' or professional sound to go for something unique? I can't mix a metal track like Andy Sneap, and probably won't until I've learned a lot more...

Does anyone have any tips for setting up spaced pair overheads with LDCs to soften cymbals? I usually set them up equidistant from the snare about a foot off the cymbals, pointed straight down, but when a drummer really smashes a brighter cymbal, it comes out harsh and ear-tearing. It doesn't...

These have been begging me to buy them for a year or so now...Are they as good as I think they are based on in-store tests? I know 5 inch woofers won't produce low lows but I've got a set of PC speakers with a subwoofer to check mixes on too. I'm more concerned about the imaging and clarity of...

Open-Ended Lines This is my band. We've practiced four times now and we're working on the arrangement of three other songs aside from this so we can record a demo at year's end and start playing shows. We're still working on this song and this is just a "tool" to help us arrange vocals. The...

This is a Christian 'metal' band I'm doing a 10 song demo for. This is all likely to get recorded somewhere down the line when they can afford to get into a studio with me instead of my garage. There's no bass and we need to record their lead singer/screamer fellow but I'd like some opinions...

Not recording them of course! I am not a drummer. I do not play the drums. I am, however, very adaptable. I set up my friends kit (the heads are two years old or so and I suck at tuning) and played around with this, laid some guitar and bass over it using Amplitube 2. It's pretty cool. I...

This is my first chance to track/mix anything that isn't based around mechanical drums and chugging. I mixed this on fried, 12 hour tracking day ears, but it's pretty good for starters. The guitars are being re-recorded, this was just scratch stuff to get an idea of what the guitarist wanted...

I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I'm still confused....Very confused...Well, not THAt confused, but I hear people talking about parallel compression and mixing 'percentages' of signal together. My question is...Aside from judging by volume, how the hell do you gauge percentages...

I've finally got in my possession a microphone to dedicate to kick...I've never used an ATM25 before today, but it's so different in description and design that there has to be a bit of a trick to it. Beta 52s and D112s are easy, but I couldn't get a spot on sound in my tests today with this...

Silencing Sirens - SONG 3 Huzzah, this song is almost done. It's 4 a.m. and my ears are quite fried, so I have no idea if this sounds good. I'd like some help with it and some critique and all that jazz. I'm having some problems placing the rhythm guitars and getting the snare to work when...

I've been nailing 1" 703 to my ceiling recently. I have about 16 panels left. My ceiling is 50% covered. I guess I need to know, what will be more effective, turning those 16 panels into bass traps or doubling up the treatment on the ceiling? This is a garage, btw. Bad bass. I'm leaning...

EDIT: I forgot the link... http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=8063 This is somewhat of a milestone for me; -My 360sqf ceiling is 30% covered in 1" OC 703 nailed directly to it. This is the first time I've recorded at home with such extensive treatment. -I tuned the drums! VERY...

A lot of my vocals come out pretty harsh and piercing. I'm using a CAD M177. These singers have nasal voices and my mic technique or room oftentimes give me this shit result. I cope by aiming the mic at the vocalist's chest and it helps a lot, but I've also recorded the same singer in a...
