I feel dumb for not being able to figure this out. Ok, I did a session where I recorded a singer/guitar player with 3 mics in single takes. Ten songs. I was too lazy to open up all new sessions for each tune, so I basically let her track a song, then I'd put a little bit of space, then we...

The mission today was to record as many songs as possible in 3 hours. I used 3 mics (2 on the guitar and one for the vocal) and all of the songs were recorded as a single take with the guitar and vocal recorded at the same time. These were meant to be scratch tracks for a larger session, and...

[edit] So if you were recording a singer/guitarist in one take, how would you mic it?

Not looking for a debate here, as everybody knows that anybody who has ever used cracked software is worthy of contempt and public stoning. Just wanna' know if you have ever used any cracked software at any point in your home recording journey. I even have a Reaper license, so don't go all...

I understand tape. I understand recording as hot as possible to tape so that all the little ions get used up with sound instead of hiss. I understand the natural compression capabilities of tape. But like most hobbyists today, I record digitally. I generally have my levels peak no higher...

I'm putting this thread here, because this catalog has plenty of guitars and basses in it. Ok, I have purchased items from MF for years. It's an online site, so when I'm shopping for something, I look on their site. MF is well-aware that I have mastered this skill, lol. They used to send out...

EDIT - I'M DONE WITH THIS...GO LISTEN TO SOMEBODY ELSE, AND THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO LISTENED. Song [EDIT - I'M DONE WITH IT..DON'T BOTHER]

Hi. This will be sort of a long post, but I may not be able to check this thread for a few days, so I wanted to give as much information as possible. This should probably be in The Rack, but I'm asking about live sound, not recording, so I thought I'd have a better shot here. Okay, I've...

Posted in wrong forum...sorry.

I need to explain. For many years, I ran all of my audio from my computer to an outboard Equalizer, then to an amp that powered passive JBL monitors. I recently got active monitors again, so I gave my son the amp and the EQ and the speakers. Well, the EQ unit had an anciet, but pretty cool...

I know my limits when it comes to bass, and I can't do anything but suck on this song. It's a friend of a friend who asked me to track a few songs for him. He's not horrible, but it's just not my bag. I could just give him what he recorded (acoustic guitars and vocals), but I like the guy...

I just wanted to post a quick review in case anybody is considering these monitors or searches for them on here. I picked up a pair of "B Stock" KRK Rokit 8's (2nd Generation) for $149 each on musiciansfriend. I made the cardinal sin of not listening to monitors before purchasing them, because...

I had these 2 songs recorded awhile ago, and then I put drums to them with ezDrummer. Took about an hour each, which surprised the hell out of me. Real drums take me forever, and I'm not even talking about tracking them. All That I've Done Penny Lane Anyway, I know everybody has been using...

It's not the mic. You just suck. When you get a better mic, it only records your suckage with greater detail and depth. Give up.

Hey...I posted this song weeks ago with a minimal treatment. I'm building it like an igloo... www.centraltexaslegal.com/music/goodtobebad122308lessverb.mp3 Any thoughts appreciated. [edit] -I changed the link to remove the over the top reverb that some of the posts talk about. I suck.

This is a guy named David Ramirez. He and my daughter played a show nearby a couple of weeks ago, so he came over and tracked a few tunes. I added some bass and bg vox and tried to mix it. It's acoustic/folky kinda stuff in the vein of Damien Rice, probably. He's pretty good. Let me know if...

Last XL Jamfest T-Shirt goes free of charge (i.e., you don't even pay shipping) to the first drumber who provides a dry stereo mp3 file at 320kbps that takes this song from demo to done-o. (I take my daughter to college in Colorado on Tuesday, and this is the last tune we need drums for). :D...

Hi. I posted this song in my other thread, and I feel like an ass for starting a new thread, but I'm in a time crunch. If anybody wants to do drums for this, it would be GREATLY appreciated. It's a 5 minute waltz, lol. It's 60 bmp, in 3/4 time. My daughter's getting ready to go to college...

Hi...about 7 years ago, when I started trying to record, I posted a tune on this site. I figure it's about time for another one. :D My daughter played the guitars and sang it...it's not mixed...it's one of 6 songs we tracked today, and to be honest, I'm kinda' trolling for a bass player. :D...

Hi: My daughter and I sat down yesterday and wrote and recorded 4 songs. This is the first one. If you think this sounds like shit, please feel free to say it. :D It's called "Straw And Dirt"...(think 3 Little Pigs) http://www.betteroffdad.com/MP3/strawandbricks.mp3
