    Marking your microphones (or other gear..)

    How do you guys keep track of your mics? For example I recorded a band and they brought over their own SM57's - there were '57s all over the place. I kinda had to be a dick about it to keep mine straight. I have thought about engraving my initials or some other identifying mark on my gear, but...

    Metronome: triggering LM-4?

    In the metronome settings that there is a way to make it trigger a Midi device. I have gone through all the usual steps - set up a VST instrument (LM-4), loaded a bank of sounds. On the metronome set up, I point it to the LM-4 as the midi device. If I uncheck "audio" click, but I get nothing...

    "Fun with KTDrumTrigger" - MP3

    As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are making do without a drummer, and since I am a guitar player, I don't even have a drum kit. Basically, I am not very good at programming beats either. So here is where my bass player and I got creative. Taking to heart what Metalhead28 told me a while...

    "Fantasy Fuel" (Metal)

    This is a song we are working on, it is still in the conceptual stages. I am sure it will evolve a little as we play it, and we will we record it for 'real' later this year. We lost our drummer and our singer a few months back, so the drums are programmed on cubase's LM-4 and there are no...

    DIY Class D power amp - useful as a power amp for studio monitors?

    It seems pretty easy to put together. Is there any advantage to this type of circuit? They seem to be making a big deal out of it. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/article/1822.1/

    Duplicating a Bass Track for EQ purposes?

    I tried an experiment the other day by duplicating a Bass track, and Eq'd each one differently. I have heard of people doing this for drums parts, but never on a bass. In any case, I EQ'd the boomy lows out of one copy, and boosted the upper mids and high freqs to get a nice punchy, clicky...

    Which of these mics for DVD voiceover work?

    I have a small project studio, and I have a DVD video project to record some voiceovers on. This is my first attempt at serious voiceover type recording, so any kind of advice on that would be welcome, even if a tiny bit off topic for this particular forum. These are the mics I currently have...

    Thinking of getting into Managment...

    I am thinking of getting into the promotions/management side of the business. I live in a small town outside a major metro area, so I could kinda start in a small arena and work my way up if things go well. What are some typical arrangements between manager and band out there (%'s etc.)? What...

    How can you tell when your tubes need to be replaced?

    The obvious answer would be when it sounds shitty. But here is the thing. I have a tube amp that I hardly ever play, except for gigs or recording. I turned it on today, and gave it a good thrashing (loud enough and long enough for the power tubes to get a good glow on). Well to make a long...
