Hey Cats! I hope some one knows what I am talking about: In the process of mixing a song, drums in particular. 6 tracks altogether. Kick, snare, tom1, tom 2, over head L, over head R. I have everything sound how I want it to as far as levels and eq and compressors and the like. Now I would...

Even if you dont use Samplitude, please feel free to comment if you've had experience. There might be too many variables to answer my question definitivly but I will throw it out any way: I keep waffling back forth about sound cards, like a lot of people I am sure it goes between the MOTU 2408...

Lads: I am in the middle of what is becoming maybe the longest session for the recording of a 5 song ep that ever was. Like almost a year of thinking and rethinking, rerecording and "fixing" So we have finally reached the home stretch and are about to begin mixing the last two songs. So here...

I have been looking around on this topic for a bit but have nothing that addresses my set up specifically. I have been thinking about buying a MOTU 2408 mkII for a while but have recently started eyeing the Layla 24 bit thingy. It is lots cheaper. I am using Samplitude 6.0 producer w/ a 550...

But what separates a dual mono from a stereo recording?

Ok I am not a newbie persay this thread will further illustrate my ignorance. What exactly is Stereo Recording? How do I get one? If I record a source, lets say a pair of congas w/ two of the same kind of mic, to two individual mono tracks and then pan them L-R...is that stereo? Or just to...

I would love some advice on good micing technique for piano. I am about to finish a demo for my band and we have access to one of two pianos: An upright, not one of the great big ones but pretty big (console?) or A Yamaha baby grand. both of them are in pretty big rooms so taking advantage...

So, uuuuuhhhh..... I have been at this for about 4 years now, I have recorded my fair share of kick drums. Some were really amazing drummers playing bad kits some were bad drummers playing amazing kits. Either way I have literally never had a problem recording a kick drum. Even if it was a...

Hiya! I have a really nice SG that I would like to sell. I dont know much about Gibson guitars so I cant really place the exact model. But I think its a standard SG. Its what I am pretty sure are Seymore Duncan humbuckers. It has a natural dark wood finish. Its not a terribly sexy guitar but...

Hi, Just "professional" curiosity, has anyone had a chance to use the Earthworks monitors? I mean they're only like $3 grand right? So most of you probably have 2 or 3 pair. I have no intention of buying them, anytime soon but they sure look cool. Twonky

Ahoy Ladies! This subject came up in a another thread about dull mix problems. Blue BEar was telling me that he sidechains his Roland piano to the the tempo of his music along w/ some careful eq to get the piano samples to sound more life like. Can anyone tell me how I can achieve this...

Hi! Im posting this song hoping for some MIXING critique. Wether or not you like the song is irrelevant to me, so stuff the "I didnt like the so an so part it should haveen shorter" or the "That was the best song that I have ever heard in my life, much better than RUSH!!!" comments. Anyway, I...

Hiya! Has anyone ever tried the Earthworks tc30k on a kickdrum and does it sound good? Will it harm the mic to have pressure that high on it? I want to put it about 2-3 inches in front of the hole in the front head. My questions will get more dummer, just be patient. jerks! (just kidding)...

hi folks, I am in a real quandry here. This is a problem that I have been aware of for a while now. But my mixes are sounding kind of dull in general. I record lots of different kinds of music, from bad emo punk to super sparse Ry Cooder type acoustic stuff, to stuff thats sounds like Wire to...

Ok, well this question will pretty much expose me for the musical dork that I am but, what is, is. If you are familiar w/ the Fixx's album reach the beach then you probably know that the guitars are the most solid state chorused out tracks you have heard, they are very thin and weird. I Love...

Allright guys and Dolls, I need your brains again, I am currently using a pair of Tannoy Reveals w/ an RA-100 amp. It like the set ok enough, however I would like to also use a pair of pioneer stereo speakers (Big Muthas, old school, like 12" woofers, I love the way they sound) to check mixes...

Alright all you Homereccers! Pull out your big brains and help the twonker out, please. I am currently in the market for a recording sound card for my PC. I am currently using and ADAT XT as my A/D converter via the Alesis PCI card to record into Samplitude 6.0. I have been reading about the...

Hi All! I have an ADAT Xt that I am thinking about selling, I have two and only really need to keep one to use as an A/D converter to my PC. I plan on selling it pretty cheap, so let me know if you have an interest. Twonky golobig@hotmail.com

Hi there! I have a Late 1970's (guessing) Ibanez Musician bass. Its real ace! It is active/passive, neck-thru, fancy tuners, big and heavy I love it....theoretically. My main problem is the active electronics, they freak me out, I dont think they sound all that good, at least on this...

Hi, I just had a thought/idea and I was wondering if any of you guys have tried this and to what degree of sonic success did achieve? Here it is: You have a bunch of tracks of a drum kit, kck, snare, toms, overheads stc. Take your drum tracks, mix them down to two tracks (or stereo) w/ a bunch...
