I had a weird dream about the lead singer/guitarist of another group, who will remain nameless, and they told me a 'trick' for live guitar about using two noise gate's to make it sound smooth. One was a noise gate at the beginning that cut off the guitar before the sound got too low (and/or the...

I just heard my song in the background of some reality show/documentary/movie on MTV! They even credited us at the end! WOW! This isn't supposed to happen. I'm so elated! I'm actually doing it and we're touring soon!

I'm looking for a list of songs with the happiest, poppiest, catchiest melodies so I can analyze them. If you could make any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I will start off the list. The Beatles Dave Clark Five - Because Of Montreal - Penelope "The Wonders" - That thing you do "The Archies"...

ok, so we are planning on touring the east coast this summer. if anyone can give me some information on venues in their area (if you're from florida up to maine) that would be great. if you can help set it up that would be even better. we're looking for about $150 for a show. please reply to...

ok, I have a sweet mix going with the instruments, I go to record the vocals, they are nasally and sound like shit. I solo the vocals by themselves, they sound great. the problem is the mix. what can I do to maintain a natural sound while making sure the vocals can be heard, without being too...

Do you have to at least appreciate the music you are working on when you take a job? Do you have to love it? If you like and know the material is really good, good stuff, does it make your job easier or harder?

if you have a show coming up, maybe we can go check each other out... list it in this thread. tonight (friday, january 6, 2006) my band will be travelling to fredericksburg, va in northern virginia to play at the bourbon room.

this one is untitled and sometimes I fuck up the vocal, but it's a demo... looking for songwriting critique's here, not recording quality. I'm pretty sure I'm putting this one on our next full length. which we are supporting with tour in june (if you have read the other thread I posted)...

if you live in a state bordering the atlantic ocean, from florida up to maine, I'd be extremely indebted to you if you could give me some venues (or venue contacts) around your area as we are trying to book a tour in june. preferably places that pay $150 and up (seeing as this is our first big...

every time you think you get ahead, someone comes along and shows you how shitty you really are... it's tough how do you get through to the people who can make decisions and how do you get them on your side

I figured I'd start a new thread because of this... we are finalists! We made the top two! Thanks to everyone for voting so far... they have reset the counter and it's now between us (Escape Velocity) and David Austin and Friends. You can vote once a day and voting ends Sunday, November 27th...

if you know any of the aforementioned that accepts unsolicited demos, or if you can make them solicit one, let myself and everyone else know... but mostly just me

I figured since the other thread is so full of crap, we could add our own insight in to mixing. I am no expert, but here is what I do... First and foremost, the most time and care must be spent on tracking. The air is your best mixer. Make sure you get a good sound going in. If it's for drums...

well, I'm in the market for a new amplifier, I want something with very, very good distortion. I'm thinking either orange or mesa boogie, any specific models or other brands? any suggestions would be appreciated. this will be used live quite a bit.

A couple weeks ago, my band, save for the drummer, went on a local CBS affiliate and performed a few songs and promoted our new album. I just found out today that they are running a contest and we could win a $1000 dollar gift certificate to a music store around here - which we could really use...

just looking to see what everyone's opinion is on the best DI box for guitar... obviously it's best to mic an amp, but if you really are stuck, what's the best DI box and do any pro's use a DI boxes on records?

Does anyone here have any Aardvark products? I do and... since the company is out of business, I decided to make a better web site for support than the one that is currently out there. If you have any ideas, let me know.

this is the first song I've recorded for another band. that being said... the tracking is final, and the songs are what they are, but how might I improve the mix? they want the vocals buried pretty well, but I know with your advice I should be able to improve this mix ten fold...

pick one to use on a bass amp... studio projects b1, oktava mk012, shure sm57 or sm58
