For the most part I like my Rode NT1 but I find it a little on the bright side. I normally track everything with eq flat but when I do this with the Rode I have a hard time getting enough bass in the vox at mixdown. If I record with a little added bass or cut highs, then I get this undesirable...

I posted this in another forum, and I know a lot of people around here are really anal about cross posting, but maybe this is a more appropriate forum. (Another favorite of the gang, posting in the wrong forum). Here it is. I have an md8 multitrack ( a minidisc recorder with no digital outs)...

Every time I check the specs on these units '1 bit analog to digital converter' keeps showing up. I was considering the 775 dual tray cd recorder but all the non consumer decks usually include 20-24 bit A/D. I thought I sort of understood the A/D thing but 1 bit? Is this as bad as it sounds...

I've posed this question before and I've done searches but am still looking for 1st hand opinions. I have a yamaha md8. I like the unit but it seems no matter how I eq, compress, track, or whatever, my recordings seem to be a bit 'light'. I don't know if it's my inexperience on the recording...

A similar topic came up a few months ago and i did a search and found a little info. After suffering many mixdown woes, i'm finally have a good feel for my monitors system and am interested in mixing down straight to cd. I've pretty much narrowed my choices down the the phillips 775 or something...

I know some people have a bad taste in their mouth since the supernatural thing but, I wrote this in '99 and was a Santana fan when I was younger. I originally named the tune Santana Jct. but the powers that be at mp3.com politely asked me to change the name. It's the only instrumental that I...

I've got a new song on my page. It's called "Where I Come From". Just by coincedence this is the 3rd song of mine beginning with the word "Where" so don't get it confused with the other 2. This one's currently the 1st song on my page. There are some mixdown issues, I used a different dat than...

I found this thread on one of the mp3.com bbs. It's a pretty legnthy directory of sites, bbs, forums, etc, for indie artists to visit and possibly promote your music. I haven't gotten around to many of them myself, but I'm sure some of them will be useful to somebody. I'm posting the link to...

The song's called "Crystal Clear". Maybe not the deepest or most complicated of my work, it's kind of a kinder, gentler, M.F.Y.B.S. From the same batch of mixes as my other stuff so it's maybe a little bright and heavy on effects but thanks to you guys, I'm noticing what's wrong with my mixes...

Well, I still didn't upload a picture to my page yet, there are so many good ones of me I'm having a little trouble choosing. I did post a new song though, it's been on my page for a few days, some of you may have seen it by now but probably haven't heard it. A little different genre for me...

An overexaggerated account of "that time of the month" from a man's perspective. This song comes complete with string noise and cheap effects processors, but the songs cool. Don't pull the plug on it if you don't like the beggining or the middle because it changes again at the end. This was the...

This is the first song I've ever put up, this is one of eight songs that I mixed on a borrowed Dat that had to be returned the next day. In other words, I had to rush it. I am aware of some of the problems with the recording/mix but please feel free to critique anyway. You guys may be hearing...

I've uploaded a song from my CD to my hardrive and sent it to mp3.com and it is waiting for approval. I've listened to the song from my hardrive on my computer speakers, and, even though it is a far from perfect recording, it is comparable to a lot of the stuff I've been streaming and...

I hope I'm in the right forum. Be gentle if not. Here goes: I will be making a few CDs on someone else's stand alone unit in a month or so. I will be uploading a few of the tracks on MP3.com. I've read the process of uploading on their site but still have questions. I use all hardware and do no...

OK, you guys on i-drive, I've been wanting to hear your stuff but I don't know how to listen to one. I just registered and I put where I wanted to visit and I see the song titles, but how do I listen to them? Thanks, I've been wanting to listen to you guys on i-drive but never knew how. Help.

It's a vocal effect or technique. I've heard it in Everlasts' "Ends" and "What it's like" and also in a lot of rap songs. It's sounds like two voices by the same singer, but not harmony or octave just unison. Is it one performance on two different tracks with some kind of phase reverse, or is it...

Recently bought a mixdown deck on e-bay. Sony JE510, anyone familiar with these units? When I tried to record, everything seemed to be working fine. The time ran on the display, and the meters were at work. The MD tab was pulled closed the way it's supposed to be to record. When I stopped the...

I'm looking for a mini-disc deck to mix down to. There are a number of used Sony MDS JE510s and 520s out there. I was under the impression that if the deck has digital out, that I could go to CD with an exact duplicate of my master, is this correct? Last night I read somewhere, on one of the...

I've noticed both of these units priced at $199. Can anyone share an opinion on either unit or both? I will be using it for mixdown, I have an all Hardware setup. I've seen some bad run on the BBE somewhere on this site before, but, these are about the only units in my price range. Any past...

I am now considering mixing down to Mini Disc and am looking at a used Sony MDS JE510. It has a digital out, but no digital fader. I will be going from a Yamaha MD8 to this deck, then to CD via the digital out. Is having no digital fader going to be a problem? I read where the level is...
