I'm sort of embarrassed to admit this is giving me trouble, but I can't decide if I should play this riff/fill with alternate picking or a sort of sweep picking (which I've never done before). It's probably too slow for typical sweep picking, but I basically mean down, down, down, up. It's at...

Here is the layout of my basement, where I'll be doing some mixing. The 16'x26' area is basically mine to use. The dashed lines, indicate where I'd like to put walls, but that's just not going to happen anytime soon, I'm afraid. I'm REALLY short on $ for a while. Currently the mixing area is...

I was tabbing out one of our songs last night and was unsure what to call a particular chord. The part of the song is just a B5 (x244xx) on the 1, 2, 3 with a C added on the 4 beat (x344xx). This pattern cycles for a while. It's really just a sort of passing note, but I'm not sure what to...

I'm going to be recording a few hand percussion instruments - triangle, tambourine, sleighbells. They are quite likely going to be hardpanned 90-100% one way or another. Let's say it's 90% R, is it worth it at that point to record the signal in stereo, since most of the L channel info is so...

If I were to mic the bottom of the snare, I'd want to flip the polarity or whatever of that mic, correct? Am I remembering correctly that I can rewire an existing XLR to XLR cable to accomplish this? Can someone remind me which wires get moved to where? I know this is here somewhere, but I...

I'm mostly a flatpicker/strummer but I've just recently tried to get a little more adept at fingerstyle guitar. I'm right now just trying to get a bit of thumb independence to get that alternating bass line to become a bit more automatic. But the whole thing is a pretty foreign to me (but also...

I'm going to be making a few multi-use wood-framed 703 panels. They will be used as gobos and general room treatment. I plan to buy and cut the wood today but won't get the 703 for another few days (it involves a bit of a drive). My understanding is the 2' x 4' panels are EXACTLY 2' x 4'...

Office cubicle partitions free - should I get them? http://annarbor.craigslist.org/zip/269209499.html

I guess I'm mostly interested in getting the best possible drum sound out of this room, but I'm also interested in possibly being able to spread amps out and track 2 guitars and drums at once. Also, this isn't my basement, it's my bassist's, and as you can see it is a multipurpose room (storage...

Damn this place is a ghost town... Anyway, quick question. Can you reverse the polarity of an incoming signal, or can you only do it after it's recorded. For example, I am recording a drum kit and want to mic the bottom of the snare, but I want it to sound as good as possible in the...

I have 1, would like to have another. If you have one you're not using, let me know!

I need a mic right around $200, that would be well suited to my voice. I really was kinda zeroed in on the Studio Projects C-1, but then read another thread here which started me second guessing that choice a bit. If you'd like to hear an older recording to check out my voice (as shitty as it...

Can it be done? I have a cheap never-used steel string acoustic sitting around. Just for shits and giggles, I thought about putting nylons on it. I know the fret board is usually different (wider, I think) on a classical guitar, but I just thought it might be worth trying....maybe. thoughts?

Alright, heres the scoop. I'm just a hack guitarist, pretty new to computer recording. I tried recording a keyboard part for a song yesterday, but all the built in "voices" on the keys kinda suck (looking at a mellow organ sorta sound). Then I got to thinking. There's a midi out on the back...

I know I'm gonna have to slap my forehead when I get the answers, but what does C-R and ST stand for with regards to a mixer output. Edit: Can we add "2TR" to the list as well?

Trying to sort out our plan of attack to record some material in the near future. We will have a firepod (24 bit, right?) to do the tracking at our bassist's house, but at my house, all I'll have to monitor during mixing is a USB M-Audio MobilePre (which is a 16 bit interface). Is this a bad...

[disclaimer - I hesitate to put this question in this particular forum, because what I have is just an unfinished basement, rather than something I would call a studio.] I am hoping to get my basement up to a somewhat tolerable recording environment. However, just playing my guitar there, with...

heck maybe even a few hundred dimes... Anyway, I'm going to be selling my Fender Ultimate Chorus amp quite soon (I'm picking up a new amp friday). It's old, a little bit beat up (cosmetically, not functionally) - has maybe two smallish tears in the tolex, and one small hole in the grill cloth...

Hey dudes. While trying to record some crappy scratch tracks for the "crazy idea" project, I encountered a problem with my tape speed becoming inconsistent. I'd play the guitar part along with a pre-recorded click, then play it back and half way through the take, the tempo and pitch would...
