Hi there, I just finished doing a first mix down of a song that my band recorded in my studio. I've been working on it and have done all the mixing to a point where all of the effects, pans, eq's, compression and volume levels are all satisfactory. I sent to the band and they're all happy to...

If this belongs in a different thread, please inform. Thanks. Am I a complete baboon? I can't seem to explain to anyone or search the right thing to find out this seemingly simple operation I'd like to do. I am a drummer in a rock band. I have recorded my band in my studio and through out...

I really want to try THIS effect on the lead vocal track in the chorus of a song I am mixing right now and am approaching completion. Skip to 0:54:54 and listen though until 0:55:22 (watch your speakers at around 0:55:21)! Sorry about the long file, couldn't find the album version anywhere on...

Here's the basic setup for this application: - TASCAM US-1800 audio interface: it has inputs with and without preamps. The ones without preamps are intended for connecting an external preamp. - I do have an external pre amp as well for a different flavor, called the ART MPA Pro II. It has High...

Not sure if it's Pro Tools causing the issue or my interface (Tascam US-1800), but here's the deal: When I have a mic (or whatever) plugged into my outboard mic pre amp, then run the pre amp into one of the line inputs on my interface (the line inputs bypass the Tascam pre-amps), the audio...

Complete noob question but the only answer I've ever gotten is "it depends on your setup". Well my setup is extraordinarily simple, so surely someone kind (and knowledgeable) has to have an answer for me... :confused: My set up is in my siggy, but to put it in long form, I have the following...

I want to pick up another condenser, but this time, one that has multiple patterns so I can extend the uses: like group vocals (in omni), mid-side miking (in fig 8), etc. I'd primarily use it on vocals (male or female, multiple styles), but also on acoustic guitars, or as a room mic on drums or...

I found some used Yamaha NS-144 speakers, $60 for the pair, at a consignment shop yesterday. I took a picture, but a quick google images search will bring you better quality then the one I snapped yesterday. They look like overwsized Yamaha NS-10's! Although I'm most certain they DO NOT...

Ok, just thought I'd follow up. I modified my existing "Printer Stand" or whatever it's supposed to be for. I added two vertical 1x2 pine beams spray-painted gloss black (classy :P) in order to make an opening narrow enough to mount standard rack-sized gear. I'm also using them as my rack rails...

Not that I have tried, stand behind, or think that this will (or will not) work, but I thought I'd share what I found online for anyone curious. And hey if it works, then I helped you put together something to ADD TO your acoustic treatment, and on a shoestring budget! It's not world-class...

Sorry guys, not much of a poll, but I am torn between these two pre-amps. Haven't heard either in person so I have no experience with these models whatsoever. But I came across used versions of these locally (both mint) for a much lower cost than the sticker price. I know they both have their...

Primacoustic Acoustic Solutions They're Canadian, eh, just like me! :D This company makes other bass trapping products as well, but I found these to be something that would pass the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) in the "home office" (aka my control room). The ratings seem to look good. Looks...

Hi there, I'll probably die of embarrassment after writing this :o, but whatever...can't be scared to admit what I don't know! :) My Google must be "broken" because I can't seem to find anything that explains what a broadband wave is specifically. Like what is the frequency range and what...

Hey there, Just wondering if you think it's ok for me to cheaply build a rack out of my existing printer stand. I really only have room for this printer stand on the one side of my desk which is where a rack could also fit (one or the other), however I like to be organized. If I get rid of the...

Hi there, I know lots of people on here are bashing the BBE Sonic Maximizer, but I found a used one for cheap and I'm going to get it just for the hell of it. :D I'm just wondering how exactly I would route it in my setup. I've never used outboard gear with my new setup, so not entirely sure how...

Sample attached You guys are funny! :laughings: As for cotton balls, or 70's style dial-adjusted tone killers, I've discovered long ago that I don't like to use that stuff (maybe when I was 12 yrs old or so and even then I knew how terrible it was do do that). Sounds a la shit IMO. I even hate...

I really would like to post a sample soon! I just haven't had the time this week. :( To give more detail, I tune my drums so that the bottom head is slightly higher on the bottom (reso), and I know how to tune properly. I actually do it around town for other drummers as a mini side job. $40...

Hi there, I have maple drums with wood hops which increases resonance of the drum. The floor toms sit in cradles as opposed to being RIMS mounted or attaching legs or brackets to the actual shell. This increases resonance yet again. When I used to record with my old kit with metal hoops and...

Hi there, I'm somewhat new to Pro Tools 9. My setup is outlined in my siggy below. Here's how I have this current session routed: - I have all my individual drum tracks (OH Right, OH Left, snare, kick, tom1, tom2, tom3). They each have their own gate, compression and eq because each track has...

Hi there, My recording setup is described in my signature. I just got Pro Tools 9. When trying to hook up my interface under Hardware setup, I select my interface, the TASCAM US-1800, and it sees it. Under playback engine, my interface is also selected there. But when I go to add a new mono...
