I use an MXL 9000 tube large condensor mic for vocals, pluged into a presonus firepod recorded into logic 7. My problem is that i get OK vocals, not horible, and with some compression and decent verb sometimes even pretty good, but not GREAT. Any suggestions out there for tracking the vocals...

Im now going to dive into the world of outboard processing and i was wonder how that all works with a firepod, how do you use anolog equipt with a digital interface, and more importantly, if i want to bypass the Pre's in the firepod to use an external pre amp hows that done?

Im not looking for free plugins, i just want a pack of options that funtion with logic. Im looking for better compressors and EQ's. Logic only allows "audio units" so im kinda limited, but if you know of anything let me know.

I finally messed around with the frightning world of busing and i had some interesting, good, and awful resaults. I took the advice of some books and some people and bused the drums all to the same reverb to give them an over all more live effect, i no this is a big "no duh" to experiened...

Im probebly heading down the road of getting hated on and ostrasized, but whats up with this forum? Ive noticed now after a few months that unless the questions are really nerdy, ie: math related (db's, frequencies, computer stuff) or they give the oportunity for people to show off their...

At the moment im completely digital, but in the near future i want some outboard gear (mostly pre-amps and compressors, im fairly happy with my reverb plug ins) but i honestly dont no how it works when your using digital stuff, ie:no anolog mixing board. I use Firepods for my interface, but...

Ive been messing around with my new studio set up for about 4 months now and ive finally got some stuff im pretty happy with. But one lingering problem is a harshness over the top of everything. I remixed something were this problem was particularly bad, and by pulling in the 6, 8, and 10 khz...

Damn what a stupid word to have to spell for someone who sucks at spelling as it is. But to my question, ive tried tons of mics and tons of processing, tons of mic distances and my tambaourine sound sucks. I have a nice tambaurine, so thats no really this issue. Ive tried my Tube vocal mic...

I use logic, but im sure most recording programs offer the option to burn a mix, so perhaps somone can help me out. I have had a problem with my mixes when i listen to them in other systems, now this is most likely due to a sub par mix, but i want what im listening to represent my "true" mix...

I have no need to use any outboard equiptment at the moment cuz im in the learning process, BUT in the future how does analog gear work with a digital setup? for instance, if i want an out board compressor with your standard 1/4" jacks or XLR or whatever, were does it sit in my signal chain...

Ok, i of course understand the over all purpose and applications of compression. But, a few threads back (the one about "metal" attack on the drums) someone gave a response that kinda threw me for a loop. They said that in order to get a sharp attack on the kick i should try a SLOW attack...

If there is anyone on this forum who lives in NYC read on, im looking for someone, preferably someone pro, or very close to pro (yes i do realize this is HOME recording.com) to come to my house and give me some pointers in person, see my set up, listen to what ive done, tell me whats right and...

I personally like my mixes very hot, with kicking kick, huge toms, sharp guitars etc... I often have a problem when i listen to my mixes on things other than my monitors (i use a mid range set of powered krk rockets so im using "real" monitors) the things i like to hear loud in the mix, are...

mabye this is more of a tracking issue, or its actually both, but i like and want that heavy metal attack on the drums, supper tight toms, clicky kick way up front without being overbearing etc.. i like this in all forms of music. Ive been trying things with compression and eq of course, whats...

ive been reading about and experimenting with the idea that bass gutiar and kick drums share the same frequencys in the 50 to 80 hz range. the idea being that if you boost one you shuld pull on the other because they will cancel each other. Now ive tried it, and its true, but then either my...

I seem to have trouble getting rid of that "grindy" or "harsh" sounds in my mixes, i assumed that it came from either the guitars ( i been using some really high gain guitars) or from the drum overheads. but i cant seem to isolate it. is this a common problem, were does it usually come from...

I realize of course that if i burn a cd straight from an un-mastered mix that im going to lose massive amounts of info, and im going to get a really awfull sounding mix. to be more specific, when i dumb down to cd, or aac, or anthing else, the highs are to high, the lows to low, the mids are...

whats the best way to burn a cd of a mix your working on in logic. I realize that i going to lose sound quality no matter what on an unmastered track, but of all the options logic offers, what the best one to get a "close as possible" quick reference cd?

I use logic, so when you slide the faders, it tells you (-/+) what level of db your using. Now, if i follow the suggestion of starting a mix with vocals then building with around it, that would (by default) make the vocals the loudest in my mix correct? So my question is, what is the highest...

I like super attack on everthing, but mostly the drums, does anyone have some suggetions for settings (compression or otherwise) that get that crazy metal attack, like converge or the haunted or other bands of the like.
