    Another punk/screamo/posthardcore track

    Note: THIS SONG IS UNFINISHD. I posted another song from this band...Excuse the playing and pay more attention to the production, they are out of practice and are only recording this as way to coordinate themselves so they can play shows again. It's the first time I've ever used more than one...

    THREE songs I've been working on.

    These are from different bands/artists...I posted the third one a few days ago. Sooongs! This is a link to my MySpace. Scroll down past the picture of the big dog and the player is there. I'd like opinions. I think the first song is my best work of recent months.

    Building a QRD diffusor

    I'm building one based off a plan I found on the internet that apparently works really well. I want to make sure this isn't a poor design and that perhaps I should find something else. Here's the directions and some pictures. Looks like it would work! Diffusor build directions Now...

    Punk/screamo track

    I couldn't get this sound to work until I started mixing from the guitars and vocals...I usually do heavier stuff so I start at the drums. Anyways, I think the vox might be a bit too loud, but it's pretty balanced on all the systems I've played it on...It's not completely done, the singer is...

    Treating a garage door

    This looks like it might be a bitch...I have to, over the next few months, convert the garage in my new home into a usable room for mixing and tracking. It's a big 21x20 conrete block. I'm going to seal the door to try and keep spiders out...But what should I do to make it sound better? I'm...

    Chugga chugga!

    Help me emulate this sound! As Blood Runs Black Newschool...Heaviness... Any tips on the bass/guitar sound? It sounds mildly distorted with lots of mids to me, and the bass sounds really scooped. I'd appreciate any kind of help on...Even the vocals and drums...I love the production of...

    Preamp questions...Veeery important.

    I'm taking out a loan within the next month to purchase a new preamp. An expensive one. A Great River or a one of these so I can have it for a few projects that are gonna make the money back pretty quickly. What else am I gonna need to get so that when I make a sound and a mic picks it up...

    Song recorded entirely with a CAD M177

    At purevolume Here Not a WHOLE song...A verse...In one take for three parts (four if you count a little harmony thingy). Since the mic is side-addressing, I had the microphone on it's side (hanging horizontally from a boom). The 20db pad and lf filter were off. Guitar is a 100 dollar junker...

    CAD m177

    I think my family ordered me a pair for my birthday...I've heard some good things about them...I'll probably use them for overheads and vocals...Any opinions? What's the sound you generally get out of these? I am using MXL990s for ohs now, so I'm betting these'll be a step in the right...

    Getting 'clicky' toms?

    I have just begun (over the past four months) to have the equipment to mic tom toms separately, and I cannot figure out how some metal bands get their toms so present. Do they take the bottom head off and mic the top head like you'd do a kick drum? Or is it all in the heads and how hard they...

    Christian Metal-core!

    This is a band called Martyr's Prayer that I'm friends with. We recorded this in December as a demo and we're recording a full-length CD this coming week that they want mastered and mass duplicated so they can sell it at shows and local CD shops plus shop it to labels...So it's gotta sound...

    This sounds like crap to me.

    First off...This session was a joke. The performance is half the problem (notice during some parts the drummer seems to fade away as if he's about to stop playing). We recorded it all in one take except for a few little things that we overdubbed. The drummer had learned the song two practices...

    Drums and bass...Helpy.

    http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=5544 This is my first recording with a multitrack interface...Firepod!!! Sm57 on the kick, random mic on snare, two MXL990s as overheads. this is just bass and drums...What can I do to improve this except...Get better mics and a better performance?

    Tracking drums this Friday

    The drummer's kit is...Well, the toms don't exactly cut and we cannot change heads. The kick and snare, cymbals, all excellent in my opinion, but those toms...What is the best way to go about doing a spaced pair of overheads to make sure I get more tom than snare? I know that, obviously...

    Is THIS a horrible idea?

    I am about to begin trying to make this room work better for mixing...Pretty much ONLY mixing. I may record vocals in here too, because I guess I want to deaden it alot. As you can see, I'm going to have my speakers in a closet with lots of clothes in it. I am going to treat the doors, the...

    Naiant MSH-1C on a snare?

    Does anyone have any samples of just a snare drum being played with this mic? I'm really digging how the Naiant mics sound, they're so articulate...So I might get some MSH-10s for overheads and give 'em a try for vocals...But I need snare mics too! Helpz.

    Beta 52 or 91?

    If you could only afford to purchase one, which would you choose? I need a kick that will cut, but I need weight too. I know the 91 will catch the attack and snap excellently, but samples I've heard don't have enough boom to them and I'm not sure if I could fix that through placement or if I'd...

    I seek opinions!

    http://www.myspace.com/jimmyisaacandjoey These are...Well, my first attempts at recording my new band of a month. They're done on a set-up that in total cost around 300 dollars, so the quality is...Well, in my opinion, shit. The guitars are horrible. but I did my best. Any advice on the...

    Recording with an RP100?

    Okay. I'm not sure if that has been specifically addressed. But does anyone have any tips on making this...Well, it's crap...This CRAP sit better in a mix and sound more natural? Especially distortion...I should really just mess around with it, but I would like to see if anyone else even goes...

    (Somewhat!) progressive rock.

    So...I got a band together two weeks ago. We wrote and practiced this one song over 3 sessions. We recorded this over two days...Drums one day, bass and guitar the next. It's kinda sloppy since our drummer wasn't used to playing the song to a click and we are all out of practice on our...
