    White guys swingin'

    Nothing really polished here, but it's live, Jazz Improv. I'm pretty pleased with what I got just out of mic placement. Will go into detail in a bit. Comments welcome. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1400&alid=-1

    Archiving HUGE files

    I've got a huge (~900MB) .cwb file on my hard drive that I wanna archive on CD. It's one song, but I've got about 5 separate dum takes I don't want to part with yet. Obviously, the file is larger than a single CD and a DVD burner just is not in my immediate future :D I'm thinking of loading...

    I hope Yoko doesn't sue me...

    Here's my latest. This is the first song that I've done entirely on Sonar and my Delta 1010. Real drums. Real instruments. Me on git, bass. Me write. "Son of God Song" http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1400&alid=-1

    Gonna Get Yorkvilles today. Somebody stop me!

    I can no longer mix on my Bose bookshelf speakers. I'm hearing the Yorkville YSM1P's are the best bang for the buck under $500 (KRK V6 and Event 20/20 BAS did not impress me-will these?). I want to order a pair ASAP... Impressions, comments?

    Micing a Bass Amp...

    Still searching for a satisfying way to record electric bass. I've been going direct into my Mackie then to my Delta 1010 into Sonar. Not bad. I bought a Johnson J-Station. Dialed up the Rock bass setting. From the J to the Mackie. Better. Then the other night, because I was recording a bunch of...

    "Come Together" by the Beatles

    What's going on in the intro lick? It sounds like someone saying "shhhh", followed by the flappy ticking sound in 16th note triplets. Is it delay? Tremolo? Some percussion instrument? When Abbey Road came out we all had rotary phones and that's what it reminds me of.....

    Sennheiser MD-421 or MXL-V67 for voice-over?

    I may have someone over to do voice-overs (speech). It's a woman and my two best mics are a Sennheiser MD-421 (my most expensive mic and it has that 5-position rolloff switch) and a Marshall MXL-V67 (which many on this forum consider a very good mic for speech). Of course I will probably try...

    My First Recording Gig: Here's my Setup...

    I've been recording my own original stuff for a while now, but it's always been one instrument at a time. My friend's band is coming over tomorrow to see what I can do for them. I'm planning to record live drums/bass, and maybe one guitar simultaneously. Bass and guitar direct. I'd like to have...

    Where do I make the Hole?

    I've been doing a bit of drum recording lately, and I've been mic'ing the kick with the front head off so that I can shove the mic (Shure Beta-52) inside. I've been told I can get a better sound with the front head on and a hole cut in it. Where do I put the hole? Dead center? Off center? If...

    Need Help for Locating Sound Baffle

    I have a couple of diagrams of my attic studio. A plan view and a side view. I'm going to try to isolate the drums with office cubicle panels. As you can see I have a 40 degree pitch to part of the ceiling. I don't know if it is adversely affecting my sound during tracking - I'm actually liking...

    Another bizarre problem...

    I imported some midi files that I wanted to convert to audio. The midi files are stereo. I armed a track for recording audio via the "What you hear" parameter for my SBLive. I clicked on the Audio-in option in Sonar and got only "SBLive Mono in" as an option. I need stereo, but can't find it. It...

    Midi is kicking my @$$ !!

    This should have been easy, and I should know how to do it by now, BUT!! Something’s wrong. I tried to record a keyboard part via midi controller last night and here’s what I got: Either no midi recorded in Sonar, midi locking up - ie tones not stopping – panic button material, and/or sound...

    Very wierd problem in Sonar - Part 2

    I recorded a stereo acoustic guitar track last night. Two mics into mixer, out the inserts to the Delta 1010 ins 5/6. On playback each mic has its own track in Sonar, panned hard right and left in my speakers. I can hear the difference in the tone so I know I'm getting different sinals. Looks...

    It's only rock and roll.......part 2

    I figured I'd throw it out there. One of 11 songs from a CD I recorded on my VS-880 with my band. Mixed on ProTools TDM. Opinions please. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/7/1400/ Click on Discography/Singles "Living in the Red" Thanks

    My first mic comparison

    Here's a short acoustic guitar passage recorded 5 different times on 5 different mics. Pretty much my entire arsenal. Done at the same session. It's called mictest2.mp3 at http://www.nowhereradio.com/ under alternative or Volume 11. The signal chain: Mic about 9 inches away from 12th fret of...

    Where can I put this MP3?

    I did a mic comparison and thought I'd attach it, but it's too big (1.6MB). I don't have ready access to a server right now. Can anyone put it up or make a suggestion? Thanks, Chuck

    VS-880 as control surface

    I have always had my VS-880 synced to my pc via midi time code(VS as master) with Cakewalk. This has worked quite well, but now I want to use the faders and pan knobs on the VS to control the same in Sonar during mixer automation. I don't even care if the 880 is rolling at the time. I know that...

    Drum Miking, eq,compression

    Please bear with me on this one. I'm sure this forum has seen this question a thousand times, but my search did not answer all my questions. They are: 1. Do I want to EQ or compress ANYTHING while tracking? 2. Separate mic/track for hihat or will bleed do it? My setup (which may help answer...
