I am working on my bands demo, and I really would like an sm7b for the vocals, I have heard what they can do for metal vocalists. Got to get my hands on one. If anybody has one that they would part with, please let me know.

So I have been working and working on getting my quality up on my recordings. I am after a certain sound, when I think I am getting close, I listen to what I want my recordings to sound like and it is still a far cry from where I want to be. If you guys could help me figure out what I need...

What is the difference of TDM and Native formats? I am not really sure, I have been looking around at effects plugs and some say that they are for TDM format, and Native? What are the difference of these formats?

I have been wondering, can you apply an effect to just a section of a track without applying it to the rest of the track. Say I highlight a portion of a guitar track or say I want to take the beginning of a song and make it sound as if it is coming through a radio or something, do I have to cut...

What do you guys use as your signal chain for mixing vocals? I am working on mostly metal bands recordings. Everyone seems to have different ways of doing things, I am currently working with a death metal vocalist and it is kind of challenging to get the results that I am wanting, ala the...

I am currently working with vocal tracking and mixing. Being relatively new to mixing, I have a good question that may benefit many. I focus many on metal bands, and vocals are probably the most important thing to me in a mix. I would like to have some tips on tracking and mixing metal vocals.

I'm not sure what the problem is, I have been working on some vocal tracking using a MXL 990. I have a pop filter up and the singer is about 6 inches from the mic, but for some reason there is this real heavy breath sound to the vocals. Is this something that I should eq out, or is there...

Ok so I am contemplating going with a pci interface. I am thinking about getting an RME 9632 I believe. It is a 24 bit/192 khz interface. The thing I was concerned about is that when you get an adat mic pre you can only get what the mic pre provides, in alot of cases only 24 bit/48 khz. So...

Im looking into getting a PCI interface for multitracking, any suggestions. Im not looking to spend a fortune, keep it under 800 if at all possible.

I'm looking into going alittle bigger with my recording. I am not ready to just go out and get a full blow console but I am curious as to how pci interfaces work. If someone could explain how you use them, that would be extremely helpful. Also, what do you guys recommend for the best possible...

I am thinking about going analog. I wanna get an analog mixer with usb to use for an interface. I have been looking around at a few different mixers, they don't have nearly the sample rates that I would like, but times are tough and I don't wanna spend over 700 for one. It must have at least...

I have been thinking about getting a outboard comp/limiter for my mastering, also an outboard channel strip. I was wondering how to hook this all up to my current set up. How to route all of it together so that I could use these extra little goodies. I am running win7 64bit sonar 8, I have a...

I think this mix isn't to bad, maybe lacking alittle depth. Tell me what you guys think, this is a little sample from my bands recordings that I have been working on.

So I have been doing some research on s/pdif in/outs. I was wanting to see if you guys may be able to help me figure something out. I have a tascam us800, that has 2 digital ins via s/pdif and I have a line6 ux2 that has 2 pre's and s/pdif out. The dilemma is that both are usb, so when I plug...

So I am wanting to spread the word about this thing. I waited a few weeks to give myself time to get over the initial shock of getting a new ax. Well, nothing has changed. I got the see through black model, it looks great. I will say, when I opened it up, I thought, what is the big deal, it...

So I got this pretty cool tapping solo riff, but I can't get it to sit right in the mix. I use direct recording due to my amp being at my bands practice place. I use ignite nrr-1 and impulses to get my tones, I get pretty good results until it comes to laying down my solos. I am not really...

I am thinking about getting a midi keyboard for playing around with. I am mostly into metal but I do have that odd creative drive to do something different every now and again, I was wondering how midi keyboards get hooked up. Say to use them on vsti programs that I have already? Do I just...

So I have been using sonar for ages, but just last night I came up with this solution to alot of my problems, or so I believe. I basically have been recording guitar tracks, and panning them left and right. Well, I send them into a bus, but leave it centered. My question is, when you send...

So I thought I would share some things with the noobs, some things that I have learned here and there that may help you get on the fast track to getting good recordings. Less is always more, my big problem I had was I was alway trying to spruce things up alittle, more compression, more eq, more...

Here recently, I have been working on my bands demo. I have noticed that my bass track almost fades away when I reference in different sources other than my studio monitors. I was wondering what you guys suggestions are about that. Do you guys recommend double tracking bass? I am only single...
