Hi all, The StudioProjects C1 Condenser Mic I have been borrowing for the last 6 months is returning to it's owner. It's time to buy my own. I'm thinking of buying a Rode NT1A. I mention it in this forum, only as a check to see if for some major reason this mic shouldn't be obtained. I'm not...

Hi all, Yes, my mind goes around and around on the speaker, isolation box and tone issue.... A buddy of mine came over on the weekend and we recorded a whole bunch of different amps and pedals over 4 hours - it was fun, and an eye opener. For me, he plugged into my Fender Blues Jr a...

Hi all, I've recently recorded two songs and spent a few days playing with the mix. I did nothing out of the ordinary; just made sure each instrument had it's own space and applied some reverb. The result was adequate, or even 'good' going by my standards. I mix using some Senheiser HD280...

Hi all. Yes, another condenser mic question, but bare with me - it's different. Where do I put a condenser mic for my speaker cab if I've already got a '57 in place? I have a singe 12" speaker with a '57 kissing the cloth (just off centre), and the mic sits off axis at about 45 degrees. I'm...

I've seen/heard a few nice amp setups here, so this is probably the place to ask... My Fender Blues Jr is turning out to be fantastic - for one sound. I do like that bearly overdriven tone. And even when I crank it, if turns into something a bit more raunchy. But, I have a few projects on the...

Hey guys, I'm going to try recording my guitar amp with two mics on the weekend - just for the experience and because someone gave me a condenser mic to play with. Not to go into specifics about he methods of micing guitar amps, my question is about phase relation between the two mics - I've...

I needed to address the noise level of my amp since I have recently discovered that my valve amp only sounds nice when the volumes are up near 11,000 - I mean, it's really loud. I looked into an iso cabinet, where it's just the speaker driver in a box. Too risky 'cause I don't know how it will...

Hi all, I'm (relatively) new to recording. I have read that people (engineers) when they mic up a guitar cabinet, they go through an EQ and remove certain frequencies before it hits the 'tape'. I can't find the post right now but I have the text.... (I think he was discussing guitar cabs)...

Hi guys, Newbie question... I want to put down a drum track using anything other than a real drum kit. Midi options have proven to sound not real enough to be effective (for me) and the only alternative I've looked in to is BFD2, which sounds great and although it has limitations next to a...

Hi all, Long time player, short time home-studio-er. I've been recording acoustic guitar and electric guitar using an SM-57, which is quite adequate for my purposes. I've also been recording bass with a DI setup. I notice straight off that I'm having trouble stopping the occasional clip on...
