Hey 33fe! Well I have the MXL V67G and it does have a "vintage" feel. If you take a look at its frequency response chart, you will notice that it has not much gain near the high frequencies (compared to the other ones you've mentioned). se2200a nt1 MXL at2035 Keep in mind though that a...

Hey everyone. I'm having trouble with miking my amp (Fender Blues Jr) and I'm wondering if its just me that finds the SM57 harsh as hell. If I place it right on the front of the speaker it sounds really saturated...and horrible sounding, IMO. Do you guys think is the amp or the mic, or a...

Hey, guys. I recently started a thread at the recording session with the tittle above. I'm posting the results just so that you guys can make any comments you want about it. I had only 4 inputs. Me and a group of friends, we have a group that put up shows for local bands in a bar (like the...

Hey everyone. I have a live band recording situation with few inputs on my interface. I've done similar stuff before...one mic for the whole band and a channel for the vocals. But in this case I placed the mic at one end of the room while the band grouped along the studio. Now, this band I'm...

Hey guys. Probably thats a subject that someone has already brought up...but anyways... I'm currently using a kind of old single speaker to mix some songs. I've been doing 50% of the mix in this speaker and 50% in my earbudds. It turned out that, making most of the moves in mono made the mix...

Hey everyone. So I wrote this song in my bedroom. I played every instrument on this track as well. The one thing I experimented with this mix is mixing in one kind of old speaker lying in my bedroom, so 50% of the time I mixed in mono. Believe it or not when I switched to headphones the mix...

Hey guys! I was watching a clip of the FF recording Wasting Light and in the song "I Should Have Known" I noticed that Dave sang the vocals really really close to the mic. I wonder if you guys know what is the exact mic he is using...here is the link to the video...

Hey everyone. I, along with some friends, have started to organize some sessions mainly for local bands. We go in, record three songs during their rehearsal and then we publish and share it on Youtube. Much like Violinist Sessions or any other "sessions" we can find on youtube. The main deal...

Hey everyone. I've been gone for a while, but I decided to post a mix of a song I've finished today...just to see if I improved in any point. The song is almost John Mayer-esque and although it wasnt intended to be, it actually turned out to be cool. Its only a demo, but I'm treating all my...

Hi everyone. I was listening to Songs for the Deaf by QOTSA and I noticed how unique the drum sounds like. It sounds really raw and powerful. They actually made a lot of good decisions when they mixed the song. One thing in particular that I've just noticed is that in the song "Songs For The...

Hey guys. I recorded this cover all by myself (mixed and performed) and I want to know what your opinions are about it. Dont compare the song to the original, because its a different take on the same song...and it would be dumb of my part to try to sound like The Beatles...lol. Anyway...tear...

Hey everyone. I recorded the instrumental to this a while ago and I almost gave up on this idea...but I recently made an audio preamp using the lm386 ic. So I decided to record vocals using the SM57 through it. It surprises me how much it amplifies the signal without any distortion...its...

Hi everybody. My friend gave me a Sennheiser E385 and he told me it was not working. So I decided to get it and repair it myself. So I un mounted it and I've found out that, there is not any visible damage to the mic...but it givrs no signal. Actually, the only signal it gives is interference...

Hey, everyone. I'm currently listening to Black Sabatth's Vol.4 and a question crossed my mind. (Vol.4 has one of the best drum sounds I ever heard). When did compressed/horrible sounding drums began to be considered a standard for rock recordings? Now, in my my opinion there is two types of...

Hey, thanks a lot for all of the useful information guys. I remixed it, here is what I did: - Phase shifting and compression on the OH (little), as I thought it allowed me to lower its volume without losing definition as I raised the kick and snare. - I tried to add something to the Vocals...

Hey. I've recorded this tune by myself as a demo to show to my bandmates, so we can start playing it, but I'm mixing like I normally would (not demo intended, if u know what I mean). One of the aspects I'm most insecure about it the distortion on vocals in the chorus. It is sounding good, but...

Hey, everyone. Well, I see a lot of people talking about automation all the time and I have a simple doubt. Is the function of automation the same of a compressor? If so, why dont people simply use compression? I'm sorry if this looks too dumb or obvious, but I still struggle whenever someone...

Guys, I remixed the song and after checking out the OH channels (after an advice from 4tracker and some of the guys on the thread) and noticed that they were out of phase. I am an idiot, I though I'd check them out before, but clearly did not. So, I flipped them and I though that the drums...

Hey guys, hope you are doing fine. Have you guys ever heard of the Stageworks CC12 Condenser mic? Well, I bought one a year ago and didnt really paid much attention to it, until now. I tested it out on my voice, and its amazing. Its supercardioid and its proximity effect is way less noticeable...

Hi, everyone! Lately I noticed something when I go on recording vocals for my band, or for any project I try to do by myself. My voice is really hasrh, meaning that when I'm singing low notes, I can get pretty quiet, but when I try to reach a higher pitch, I just have to scream to get there...
